HEAVY CURRENT IN RIVER.
Muddy Water Ends Line Fishing,
EXCEPT for Carr and Catfish.

While the rains in the vicinity of this
city have not been excessive. the fall
of water in the mountains about the
headwaters of the Potomac must
have been very heavy. judging from
the current in the river yesterday.
While the down run of muddy water
has not the strength of the current of
about ten days ago, it is strong enough
to Interfere with the movements of
the tugs towing sand and gravel laden
lighters to Georgetown. 1t is thought
the current will have run itself off by
tonight.
The water in the river had begun to
claer up somewhat when the muddy
water started coming down. and in the
vicinity of this city and for several
miles below Alexandria it is so thick
that the mud particles can be seen in
it. The muddy water has put an end
to hook and line fishing except for cat
fish, carp and like species.

First Years Cottages Taken.

The cottages built for the first year
Of the enterprise numbered about twen-
ty-fve. All of these have already been
taken up, and the applications continue
to come in brisk1y to the headquarters
In Baltimore. Washingtonians. eager
for membership. have applied in con-
siderable numbers.
Announcement was made this morn
ing by those in charge that there are
no more cottages to be had. But, seek
ing for a solution of the problem of
providing temporary quarters for the
disappointed applicants, the directors
hit upon the idea of a tent colony. A
new tract of nine acres. one of the
most beautiful of the $50 now owned
by the club. has been set aside for this
purpose. Here a family of five can. for
a moderate sum, procure a twelve by
eighteen foot wall tent, with a board
floor and comfortable furniture. pro-
vided they are found eligible for asso-
ciate membership in the club by the di-
rectors. All of the privileges Of the
club go with the membership and the
.ents are centrally located on the club
grounds.
i suggestion, particularly addressed
% unmarried teachers. trained nurses
ard social workers. has been sent out
oy the directors. It announces that it
VIII be possible for "A group of indi-
giduals, no one of whom needs an en-
lire house, to combine to take out a
single membership in the club IN the
name of one Of their number.

TENT COLONY PLANNED
FOR SHERWOOD FOREST
All Cottages to Be Built for First
Year Taken, But Temporary
Quarters Will Be Provided.

When the six Baltimore philanthro-
pists who evolved the idea of the
Sherwood Forest Club, "a cooperative
community" underworld the antici-
pated deficit Of the little colony on
Round bay, on the Severn river. for
$4,000, they did so in the belief that
1t would take a period Of four years
to put the club on a self-support1ng
basis. The scheme was originated
with the idea Of providing for prac-
tically nominal sum, the benefits OF a
little home away from the city during
the hot summer months. a home with
broad stretches of water and healthful
pine forests and opportunities for va
rious forms CT summer recreation near
at hand for those who would other
wise not be able to procure these ad-
vantages 1t was promoted in full
confidence that those for whom the
club is intended would eventually re-
cognize the benefits it offers. But the
rate at which the applications for
membership have been pouring In re-
Gently has far surpassed the highest
hopes of those responsible for the we'll
being of the enterprise.
The things which have been kept con-
stantly in mind by the directors as
necessary to insure success to the
club are four in number. Prices must
be kept down. Every person must be
given a right to the use Of the general
property. Each person must be given
the exclusive use of his own home. The
high type of citizenship must be con-
trolled and maintained.

The Headlight Glare Problem.

Recalling the extrtm Importance
of the glaring headlight problem,
which has caused much anxiety, ad-
verse legislation and ill feeling, the
Society of Automobile engineers has
officially recognized it as demanding
immediate attention. A series of
tests have been worked out which may
be used as standard definition of
what constitutes a dangerous glare
and the results of such tests will be
submitted to the manufacturers of
headlights, with view to diminish
ing the "glare"-which is sometimes
quite different from the strength of
the light itself, headlights of COM
paratively low candle power and short
distance efficiency, yet are abnorm-
ally glaring to the eye of the observ-
er stationed somewhere in front of
the automobile. Future headlights
are to be constructed according to
scientific formulae, eliminating the
glare but thoroughly retaining the
far reaching effects of searchlight
upon the road itself.

Eight Cylinder Knight Motors.

The Knight sleeve-valve motor is
to be produced in eight-cylinder "
type for this year, and to be embodied
in a car selling at $1,095. The pecu-
liar advantages and also the mechani-
cal difficulties of the sleeve-valve
engine are said to have been fully TAX
en- into consideration in this new mo-
tor, and from the standpoint Of the
automobile engineer it is doubtful if
any other development in the indus
try in this stirring year 1915, ap-
proaches the new motor in interest.
Not even the remarkable twin six mo-
tors of which five are already on the
market, have created as much interest
and speculation as the Knight-engin-
ed Eight" Its work is destined to
be watched with the greatest atten-
tion.

SENATOR ROOT ON WAR.

In the course of an address deliv-
cred to the Union league Of Phila-
delphia at reception in his honor,
Elhiu Root, former secretary of state
and senator from New York, recalled
how he went to Philadelphia eighteen
years ago to meet President McKin-
ley, by request, and talk about the
conditions of things in Spain. "There
is danger of war, there must not
be war with Spain 1t must be and
shall be prevented at all hazards"
These were the words of President
Mckinley, as recalled by Senator Root
who added to his Philadelphia hear
ers: "Then | thought of how little
any one man can do. The tenden-
cies of the mighty eighty million peo-
pie moved on along the path Of their
destiny and even that great and sgill-
ful man with all the power of his
high office could not prevent it."
The question, which springs to our
mind, as we read Senator Roots
words, is this: Will history repeat
itself and will President Wilson, de-
spite his known desire to the con-
trary, be forced to such an extreme
that war with Germany will be in
evitable? We earnestly hope not,
yet the trend of the present diplo-
matte correspondence is anything but
reassuring. Germany is not evincing
any intention of meeting the United
States half way in the matter of
concessions. In fact, it is begging the
main, material points at issue and in
dulging in dilly-dally quibbling
, with exasperating persistence, despite
the apparently sincere tones of its pro-
testations of friendship. Were Presi-
dent Mckinley alive today he would
say as he said twenty years ago:
There is danger of war, there must
not be war, there shall not be war"
Yet one man was unable to avoid it
| then; will one man be able to avoid
! 1t now?
We are positively convinced that
the United States is opposed to war
with Germany or any other nation at
the present time. There is no cry
ing demand for it whatever. We do
not know of any class of people who
are anywhere near unit in wanting
war In fact the vast majority of the
American people are strongly oppos-
ed to war. At any hazard, short
Of a fragrant insult to our national
honor. We must avoid war. In the
words of the martyred Mckinley, at
must be and shall be avoided"
President Wilson must be sustained
in the policy he has mapped out for
himself, meeting Germany with dig
nifty and dogged determination that
humanity has rights which must not
be trampled upon. 1t is high time
that Germany realized we are a
United nation in hoping against war
yet equally united in asserting that
our just demands for humanity's
rights be met in fair and unequivo-
cal spirit as they are made.
