 FOR GREAT FUTURE Her Recent Expenditures for Port Facilities Are Attracting Great
 Deal of Attention in
 New York
By HOLLAND

New York, June 9.--(Special. l.)-Gradually the intercoastal canal system which was with enthusiasm and great detail advo- cated by John c. Calhoun when he was Secretary of War. in the cabinet of Pres ident Monroe. is approaching comple- tion although it is nearly 100 years since Calhoun favored the plan. He demon strated both from the point of view of science and commerce to construct far reaching intercoastal canal or canalized system by means of which trading vessels could without exposure to the dangers of the sea or of an enemy sail or navigate from Massachusetts bay to the Gulf of Mexico.
 A few days ago the Cape Cod canal, completed a short time ago, showed itself adequate for the navigation of large ves- sels. This canal was contemplated years before the first of American canals was constructed That first one was built in 1894. and canalized the Concord river in Massachusetts, and by true canal around the rapids of the Merrmac river made communication to the interior of New Hampshire possible. It was the building of this work which led Dewitt c. Clinton to advocate the construction of canal which would connect Lake Erie with tidewater on the Hudson, and this little Massachusetts and New Hamp shire canal, supplemented by Clinton proposition, first attracted the attention of Calhoun to the feasibility of an inter- coastal canal system.
 His demonstration was that a canal across Cape Cod, then by the waters of Long Island sound, then by canal across New Jersey to the Delaware river, then by another across Maryland to Chesa- peake bay, after that by a canal through the Dismal swamp of Virginia to the North Carolina sounds, then by canal across Florida to the Gulf of Mexico, would furnish a perfect interior coast line system of navigation which would be. as Calhoun thought, of inconceivably great importance in developing the pros

Keeping your eyes open.

 -Four reasons why l should not smoke.
 Five faults I should overcome"
 These are a few of the written talks given the boys every day.
 one of the best features of the work is that the best possible jobs are procured for the boys and when something goes wrong MT Jackson is still there to en- courage the boy and tell him his saults.
 "l do something more for my boys than give them an ideal" says MT. Jackson. Already I am swamped with calls for them from the very best firms In town."
 The slogan in this work is. Wanted, boys to make good in good jobs.
 It is practical to suggest that work of this nature may be carried on right here in Birmingham. in connection with our Boys club and be of inestimable value to the office boys. Undoubtedly they need just this kind of training.
 It will help the boys to obtain better positions and lead better lives, nll them with desire to become business men with high aims and ideals.

French Comment

Paris, June 9.-t11:50 a. m)--. The news of the resignation of Secretary Bryan, which reached Paris too late last night for comment by the morning papers, is given great prominence 1T the evening editions, which publish de- tailed sketches of his career. The Midi refers to the retiring Sec retary as "a pacificist at any price, and says his resignation should be regarded as striking warning to Germany.
 President Wilson," this paper con tinues. has developed a digree of f1rm- ness of which he was not believed capable. Happen what may, the situa- ton is becoming clearer Let us hop, that Berlin will appreciate it's grave significance"

WHAT FOREIGN AND LOCAL
 NEWSPAPERS THINK OF SECRETARY BRYANS ACTION

We can infer for the moment is that it is couched in such terms that a statesman who is a paciflcist in prln- ciple and who regards prevention of war as the cause nearest his heart is unable to be party to it. We can scarcely be surprised if an American statesman who holds that his country men must run no risks of war should feel that the hour for his departure has come"

A Decisive Event


 "One of the most decisive events in the world conflict" is what the Evening Star calls the resignation of Secretary of State Bryan.
 Coming after the heroic decision of Italy to draw her sword in defense of liberty and the public law of Europe . the Star says, 'it is death blow to the Germanic powers. It means that America has crossed the Rubicon. It means that the greatest democracy on earth has re- solved to be true to Itself and to it's ideals. It means that Germany will be held to a strict accountability for her vio- lations of human sanctities. It means that the American people will defend civilization against barbarism interna- tfonal law against submarine piracy, and right against conscienceless might It means that Germany must choose be- tween obedience to the ancient code of sacred justice and the new code of sa- tanic deviltry It means that America will omit no act which is necessary to cleanse the seas of the Prussian wolves and tigers who prey upon women and children.
 We have always proclaimed our be- lief that President Wilson would find a way and that it would be great way He has given Germany ample time to re- lent and to refrain. He has for 10 long months watched Germany marching from horror to horror and from hell to hell. Waited With Patience He did not protest against the awful crime of Belgian invasion with it's un- namable butcheries and it's unspeakabm abomnatons He waited with d noble Tatience. which to nations in agony. seemed to border on perfldty. He strove to the last against the cruel implacablity of Kaiserism and kultur. He labored to save Germany from her helmeted tyrants and to persuade her to retrace her blood stained steps.
 History will bear witness to the purity of his motives, and humanity to his aims"
 Commenting on the statement that Sec retary Bryan differed with President Will son regarding methods, the Evening Star says that Mir. Bryans methods ''are those which have enabled Germany to pursue her policy of frightfulness for 10 months.r and that President Wilson's methods s'in- volve deeds well as words; action as well as talk
 In conclusion the Evening Star says.
 'The issue is now clear and clean. Ger many must face the certitude of Ameri can fixity of purpose. If she pursues Ter submarine policy America will make good her warning. Germany must choose and choose at once There Is still a bare chance of peace if Dermany will bow be fore the law of nations which America has slowly and reluctantly but resolutelv sworn to uphold.
