Unpolluted springs are as q rule
good sources Of water supply. since
the water usually comes from great
depths within the rock or is filtered
through many layers Of sand and
gravel. However, springs are subject
to pollution from the same sources
as wells and should be closely
watched in this respect Farm spring
supplies are often polluted by the
drainage from buildings and stock
pens. Spring water supplies from
limestone are also subject to pollution
from distant garbage and sewage
dumps in sinkholes. The same pre-
cautions should be taken for safe
guarding spring supplies as in the
case of wells. and in addition the
spring should always be fenced tc
keep out the stock. Spring supplies
should be frequently examined for

year OF the war in Europe have had no
parallel in extent in our maritime his
tory The absolute increase in the
tonnage of ships under the American
flag during that period was 460.741
tons ana has never been equalled in
American history.
AT the same time there was an In
crease on $50 vessels. with an aggre-
gate gross tonnage Of 795,391. in
American shipping registered for the
foreign trade and this increase Is
three times as great as the increase
in registered tonnage during any pre-
vious year OF American history. Dur
ing the year goo 900 tons of American
shipping. formerly plying in the do
nestle trade, obtained employment in
in the foreign trade. In tonnage and
value the merchant shipping under
the American flag is surpassed only
by that under the British flag, and in
tonnage 1t equals that under any two
foreign flags combined, except the
British.
The effect OF the European war and
American legislation on the American
merchant marine and the resultant un-
paralleled changes are set forth In

Washington. - tn science and

thousand delegates from the twenty
one republics of the Western Hemis-

ism was formulated in precise terms
by Secretary of State Lansing at the
opening of the Pan-American Scien-

The same note was sounded more
or less clearly by the Chilean Ambas-
sador, president of the congress, and
each of the chairmen of the twenty
foreign delegations who responded to
the address of welcome delivered by
the Vice-President of the United States
in the absence of President Wilson.

sympathy and in purpose"

motives are to an extent different;
the ends sought are the same"
The world in its political develop
ment, Mr.. Lansing added. has pro-
crossed from the idea of individualism
to the idea of idealism, and is now
verging upon the idea of interna-
tionalism.
"Pan-Americantsm." he said SIS an
expression of the idea of information

guardian of that idea. which will in
the end rule the world Pan-Ameri-

tional repute from all parts of the

phere attended the opening of the con-
gress.
After the introduction of the presi-
dent of the congress, Eduardo Suarez

President Marshall extended the well
