Wyoming cooperates with U. s..
Geological Survey.

Geological Survey.
Wyoming has recently made sub
stantial appropriation for investigat-
ing the water resources Of the State
in particular for measuring the flow
Of streams-and through its State
engineer, ]. B. True, has entered into
a cooperative agreement with the
United States Geological Survey,
which will undertake the work Of
measuring the flow Of the more impor-
tant streams in the State.
Owing to the meagre rainfall in
parts Of Wyoming, successful agri-
culture, which is becoming more and
more recognized as the ultimate basis
Of the States prosperity, depends on
irrigation, and successful irrigation in
turn hinges on a knowledge Of the
dependable water supply. To obtain
this knowledge records Of stream flow
are necessary not only for normal
years but for years Of exceptional low
water-years that must be provided
for by storage If irrigation is to yield
the maximum results.
AS a result Of the cooperation be-
tween the United States Geological
Survey and the State of Wyoming, 81

voN BERNsToRFF,
SUCCESSFUL DIPLOMATIST

yXJHILE congratulations are paid to Pres-
w dent Wilson and Secretary Lansing on
the successfui outcome of part OF their
negotiations with Germany. Ambassador Won
Bernstorf must not be forgotten.
He has performed the functions Of a diplo-
matist more successfully than any other rep
rcsentative Of his country in the last eigh-
teen months. His business here has been to
learn the sentiment of the nation and to keep
his Government informed of It. II the Ger
man Ambassador in London had been able
to comprehend the temper Of the British peo-
pie and could have foreseen that the Irish
discomfort would disappear when the nation
was confronted by the prospect of foreign
Invasion or the possibility of greater Ger
man menace in the North Sea, the history of
the last year might have been written differ
emily.
Won Bernstorf has been pressing upon his
Government the Importance of modifying its
submarine policy in conformity with the de-
mands of Washington. He has evidently kept
his Government well informed of the
strength of the national support behind Pres
ident Wilson that It has concluded it is pru-
dent TO yield to his demands A less astute
diplomatist might have made the mistake
that Bryan made. when he assumed that the
President was talking simply for political
effect at home, He has been faithful and
efhcient servant of the Kaiser, and he has
served the cause of American friendship with
Germany with equal success.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger:
Sir-I read with considerable interest the letter
from Scandinavian" on divers matters per
tanning to the European war OF course. like
all supporters of Germany. ne does not advance
any arguments simply makes assertions and
these as insulting permissible in print If
scandinavian's" letter is to be taken as a
sample of the reasoning-or lack of it-of as he
says, the most enlightened, purest- ooded stock
IN the world, 1t would indeed be a pity. In
Scandinavia know that people OF his type are
very small minority although by persistent
bowling In the newspapers and otherwise they
try TO give people the impression that thew are
majority In Germany doubt the majority
thinks like Scandinavian; in fact every SEN
tenee In his letter is made in Germany The
same attitude of superiority toward the rest of
the world has long been one OF the Character
tstics Of official Germany
Why the editor, as proposed by "Scandina
Yian," should pick out a tiny child IN tbe
street" OF the same dimensions as the supposed
English minimum requirements for the army
which scandinavian" calls the standard. or
why the editor should stand up in moving mic
ture shows and lecture on his views on the war
seems a puzzle, but suppose from his laneuars
that TO "scandinavians" mind IL would he =
brave thing to do. Other people would calI n
foolish ' "
AS SCANDINAVIAN TO Judge from his letter
Is big husky fellow and great lighter he
ought To go over 10 Germany and have a good
ume beating back the small English soldiers

VOTE FOR BETTER CITY

To the Editor Of the Evening Ledger.
Sir-Among all this wrangle between the diff
ferent parties and their candidates for Mayor
OF one OF the largest and most influential cities
N the Union-one which by its early history
IN the forming of this wonderful Republic of
the United States of America should stand
forth as shining light of patriotic government
of the people, for the people and by the peo-
pie; among all this wrange of greed and lust
Tor Office and its spoils. not one word has been
said"by either side of what the candidate would
do for the people who are expected to put him
in this coveted office.
People of Philadelphia! We have a right to
demand from our candidate certain things.
Let the majority decide what. Shall we be
dumb-drtven cattle, shall we demand our
rights? And what these rights which our
platform shall be based upon? First, work for
every unemployed man in Philadelphia.
How?
BY demanding a great underground sewer
Tor all the ofal emptied into the SchuyllSill and
Deleware Rivers. Transforming these foul and
snelllng streams, a constant menace to the
health of us and our fellow citizens into God
given rivers. where children and grown people
alike can bathe and boat and swim Improve
tne banks OF these rivers so the children OF
the congested districts can have green hanks
10 lie on and get some fresh air during the
heated summer season That is what God in
tended these streams for-not for sewers
BY repairing and keeping the streets re-
pared during the whole year Every one who
drives any sort of vehicle knows what a dread
ful condition our streets are in
BY rebuilding the foul tenements on modern
sanitary lines, with centre park-playground-
ana pathlng space for each block of houses;
cutting out some of the side streets; having ar
pitrary housing laws by which the poor shall
nave cheap rent and be kept from overcrowd-
ing TO NIL the pockets of greedy overlords
This. with the proposed subway Improvement
ought to give every able-bodied man in Phila-
delphla employment for at least four years
and then we can begin parks and civic i'm
provements until we have a City Beautiful and
people happy and well fed and clothed.
SARAH HOPE.
