However. when the realm of Charlie

Of Verdun established. the Rhine be-
came wholly the property of Germany.
and France early began her centuries
long policy of winning the stream back
again. Complete success crowned TINS
policy under the Napoleonic empire ana
the Rhine became once more the
boundary of Gaul. The Germans re-
assumed sovereignty of their beloved
Father Rhine after 1871. and in the
present war the possession of the ms,
toric river is one of the most crlticai
questions.
THE Rhine, like a mighty tree in

less tributaries and gives them up TO
the sea through innumerable offshoots
It's principal source issues from glaclal
ice 1921 feet above the sea within the
confines of the most Independent can

Rhine is fed. directly and indirectly,
by 1900 tributaries. and it drains
more than $4,000 square miles.
Where the Rhine enters Germany. at
Basel it is about 500 feet broad, and.
for the smallest river boats, naviga-
ton begins here. There is a project
to make the Rhine navigabie from
Basel to its source for larger lighters
and small steamboats,. Since 1868
Rhine navigation has been free and
It's river ports do commerce with all
parts OF the civilized world.
Lovers of natural beauty mention
the German Rhine and the American
Hudson in the same breath. The
Rhine. however. has many traits in
common with the American Mississippi
It is Europe's most important river
it drains one of the greatest industrla,
regions on earth and it is one of the
main factors in German commercial
development. Moreover, the great TIM
