tiOnal Defence.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 20, 1915.
Waterways az a means Of National De-
tense will be keynote struck at the
next convention of the National Rivers
and Harbors Congress, which meets in
Washington, D. c., Dec. 9Th, 9th and
10th. This topic will be treated by Con-
gresham J. Hampton Moore of Penn
| syivania, who has studied the subject
thoroughly and is well qualified to speak
with authority. With preparedness the
crucial issue before the country, this dis
cussion is especially opportune. 1t is
expected that Representative Moore will
stress the value of improved inland wa
terways as an aid to the speedy mobili-
cation of American forces in ev mt of
threatened invasion.
The National Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress plans to hold a tremendous con-
vention, as strong protest against the
bitter attacks made recently upon wa
terway appropriations. 1.-The proper
improvement of the nations worthy wa
ter courses" will be the battle cry. e..
Among the prominent men who will
address the organization will by Cover
nor Edward F. Dunno of Illinois. whose
subject is 1.-The Illinois Waterway"
The VESTS interest in waterways will be
championed by the new Senator from
California, Hon. James B. Phelan. The
Missouri river. which was so caustically
criticized by ex-senator Burton, will be
the subject of an address by Senator
Jim" Reed, of Missouri, who will fire
the opening broadside in its defense.
Moving pictures, especially prepared
for the purpose, and showing the work
of improving the Mississippi river, will
be novel auxiliary to the address of
Congressman Ben Humphreys of Missis-
sippi.
The program will include Mayors Behr
man of New Orleans, and Preston of
Baltimore, President Townsend of the
Mississippi River Commission, and a
representative of the Administration,
whose name has not yet been made pub
lie.
Senator Jos. E. Ransdell of Louisiana,
President of the Congress, will deliver
his annual address, and when interview
ed declared that 1.-THE convention will be
great success, and will voice linging
protest against the slanderous assaults
made on waterway Improvements"
