CLAIM LAKE LEVEL IS LOWER
Milwaukee City Officials Call Big Meet
ing of All Cities Interested With a
View of Sending to War Depart
anent Asking for Relief.

Mayor M. j. Scholey and City En-
gineer B. G. Brennan have been, in
vited to attend a meeting of Wiscon
sin executives and engineers to be
held at Milwaukee at which a protest
will be made to the United States
Government against the lowering of
the levels Of Lake Michigan and Su-
perior by the pouring of great quanti-
ties of water into the drainage canal
at Chicago. It is expected that Off
Gals Of every city from Chicago to
Duluth will be represented at the
meeting and strong protest is to be
sent to the war department protesting
against the further lowering of the
levels of the two lakes The PROPOSE
tion is not new one and cities along
Lake Michigan have lodged protests
against the drainage canal on former
occasions. These protests have not
brought results and the effort which
has been started by officials in MiLwau-
kee has for its plcn the uniting of all
cities on the lake in common fight
against the great influence which has
been developed by the Chicago men.
It is declared that Kenosha is suffer
ing more seriously than any of the
other cities along the lake. Local Off
Gals have not found any great reason
to complain against the drainage
canal. It is asserted that 86,400,000
cubic feet of water is being diverted
daily from Lake Michigan into the
canal and that the entire area Of Lake
Michigan including more than 10000
square miles is affected Tt is claimed
that the diversion of the water lowers
the depths of harbor and also the
VIZ ter along the shore line of the lake
so that cities are being put to enorm-
Gus expenses to maintain navigable
depths.
In Kenosha some interest is shown
in the matter on account of the plans
for the new water plant. It is de-
clared that the lowering of the lake
water has forced Kenosha to build a
longer intake in order to get into
deeper water. This view is not sup
ported by the engineers who have
made the plan or the new intake but
it is the statement of the Milwaukee
men who are promoting the meeting
Of protest Tt is admitted that in re-
cent years the government has spent
considerable money dredging out the
Kenosha harbor in order to make it
deep enough and keep it deep enough
to permit the entrance of some of the
big lake carriers. It is SAID that in
the past year the government expended
more than 81 500 for dredging in the
local harbor and that much of this
work was made necessary by the low
ering of the lake level by pouring
water into the canal Kenosha will be
represented at the Milwaukee confer
ence and it is possible that at the next
meeting Of the common council the
officials of the city will 60 on record
as sending a special protest to the war
department from this city. Similar
protests are expected to go to Wash
ington from al other cities Interested

was received tonight by the state de-

president Wilson by acting Secretary

The sinking of the Frye has been
the subject of extenoed correspon-
dence between Berlin and Washing

agreement on the disputed questions
is in sight.
In its last note to Berlin the Am
erican government accepted propos-
ais that the amount of indemnity for
the destruction OF the Frye be fixed
by mixed commission and that the
question of legal justification" be
submitted to The Hague.
Germany was asked, however. TO
state whether pending the arbitral
award, she would govern her naval
operations in accordance with her
own Interpretation or in accordance
with the Interpretation maintained
by the United States as to the obli-
cations imposed by treaty stipula-

possible to probe deeply into the sub
ject, it might be found that faith still
abounded, but it is no longer ex-
pressed in the old way. But we are
obliged to accept the surface indi-

Varying Expressions Of Low.

1t is In keeping the love of others
that most of us woefully fail. And we
fall very largely because we are not
careful In expressing love. Here we
ought not to be confused by terms.
Expressing love does not necessarily
mean using the language Of endear.
ment. On the contrary. those who
love most deeply are likely to be the
least given to endearing terms. The
use OF endearing terms may indicate
the absence OF deep love. or the alb
sence OF any love.

w. G. Il u. GRATEFUL.
Expresses Thanks to the Noble Man
hood of the State for Victory.

To the Editor of The News:
Will you allow space for a few
words from the South Carolina Wo
mans Christian Temperance Union?
The w. G. T. u. has been organized
and has been working in this state
for 32 years, looking forward with
faith that never faltered and a
courage that never weakened, to the
day when South Carolina would
throw off the shackles of the legal
lied liquor traffic. On September
14th our faith and courage were re-
warded, and we wish to thank the
noble manhood OF this state. who
won fo- us such splendid victory at
he polls.
1t means much not in South Caro-
lima alone. but to the temperance and
reform movement all over the world,
that South Carolina has taken so de-
cided and so emphatic a step for it
demonstrates the fact that govern
ment control of the liquor business.
under the dispensary system, has
proven as gigantic a failure, as any
other effort at regulation. After q
fair trial, under the best circum-
stances, the people of South Carolina
have decided that government con-
troll will not work, and that the only
satisfactory way to deal with this
business is to prohibit it, A great
battle has been won but the war is
not over. The White Ribbon army
in South Carolina cannot disband.
Some one has said that Statewide
prohibition is simply a good position
from which to fight the LIQUOR
traffic and this is true. This vic
ory must be followed up by law en-
orcement, and it is the duty of every
man and women to uphold the hands
of the governor and others in au-
thority in their efforts to enforce the
law. They cannot do it without the
citizenship OF the state.
The war against the liquor traffic
is nationwide and a Worldwide
war The South Carolina w. G.. T.
U. begins the new year October 1st,
1915, better equipped than ever be-
fore. We have now 1000 paid up
active members, not including the

The following plan of keeping

suggested by an exchange:
ITO married men who cannot
get along without their drinks.
we suggest this as a means to
reform the bondage of the habit:
Start a saloon in your house. be
the only customer. You will have
no license to pay. Go to your
wife and give her So. 90 to buy a
gallon of whisky and remember
there are SO drinks in one gallon.
Buy your drinks from no one ex-
cept your wife, and by the time
the first gallon is gone she will
have So to put in the bank and
So to start business again. Should
you live ten years and continue
to buy booze from her and then
die with snakes in your boots,
she will have money to bury you
decently, educate your children,
buy a house and lot, marry a de-
