Lowering Of Water in Reservoirs

Bemldji. - Legislation that will al

in northern Minnesota will be dis
cussed at a meeting to be held at
Federal Dam about Dec. 8, when the
matter of lowering the high water in
the vicinity of Leech lake will be TAX
en- up.
This action comes as the result Of
a conference of the Federal Dam Com
mer al club and George R. Ralph,
formerly Minnesota state drainage
engineer.
1t is the intention to ask that the
river be Strengthened in places and
that reservoirs be lowered three feet
during the fall and winter.
If this is done many believe the
meadow and hay lands in the vicinity
Of the reservoirs will be protected
against annual summer floods and that
the waterpower companies will have
an abundance OF water during the win
ter by emptying the reservoirs.
The floods, residents Of the vicinity
Of the reservoirs assert, are caused
by the spring waters coming down
the mississippi river. When they
reach TIE reservoirs, which are full,
the stream overfows, putting the hay

had been cut down by half. The Ger

tsooed tho first two out OF camp. The
others were taken right away.

BLAME PRODUCERS.

budget committee Of the Reichstag con-
tinues to discuss vigorously the problem

accounts Of these discussions are not
appearing In the newspapers, II IL ap-
parent from the accounts which are
printed that controversy revolves about
the efforts to place the blame for various
~shortcon!nes upon producers. dealers.
consumers. or the representatives Of Diff
ferent ministries.
One radical criticised the producers
for desiring higher maximum prices,
pointing out that tho German tarin sys-
tenn In peace times Is directed at
STRENGTHENING agriculture. and for that
reason h farmers should be conten,ed
with small prohts now.
BONE OF tho members In discussing the
existing regulations for the distribution
Of food products say that the Federal
Council delayed Its action too long.
There ID 80 much discussion of the
butter problem that one critic saw the
people are concerned with the cues
lion whether they should have butter on
their bread than that they should have
bread on which to spread the butter.
Recent difficulties in getting butter. oleo-
margarine. lard and other substitutes
have stirred up more criticism among
the poorer classes than almost any other
Government measure,
Minister Delbrueck said that the reeu-
lation Of the supply of fats was the most
difhcult task In the field OF food regula-
ton. and that the Government has de-
cided to permit the sale OF imported
butter at d higher price than that
charged for tho home article. This will

Social Cable Despatch to THE Sun

LONDON. Dec. THE Marquis OF
Crewe, speaking for the Government In
| the House OF Lords to-day. said that
| the British force under Gen. Townshend
I'm Mesopotarmia was considerably larger
than a division (about 20. 900 men). TIKI
statement was made In reply to criticism
OF the Government for sending as small
a force az a single division to attack
Bagdad.
The force sent, Lord crewe said. was
considered by competent military oo-
servers to b. sufficient for the task. He
added tina the advance on Bagdad was
contemplated months ago. and that tbs
whole proceedings were ordered by the
commander in chief. Gen. Townshend.
Lord Crewe said, has retained the con-
hdence OF his superiors.
1t was also a Misrepresentation to say
that this was n rash military adventure.
said Lord Crewe. as It wa clear to
everybody that the early capture Of
Bagdad. II II could be effected, would
have great results on the war. 1t was
evident that the troops behaved splen-
didly. but the task proved bigger than
was anticipated.
Baron Sydenham thought the ono
bright spot in this very dark picture"
was the manner In which Gen.. Town
shend's forces fought ut Ctesiphon.
Their stand against greatly superior
forces and tho capture OF 1900 prison.

that the force consisted largely Of In

he found overwhelming forces against
him and saved his WI men from a very
great disaster.
