STEEL BARGES ON THE
OHIO

NJ HE first of a fleet of self
VI propelled steel barges
has been launched on the
OhiO-a 200-foot freighter,
equipped with motor propul-
sion, a travelling crane, elect
ric wenches, self-propelled
carrying trucks and a wireless
outfit. Few men will be re-
quired to navigate; take on
and discharge cargoes, and ex-
.pense all around is reduced to
a minimum. With respect to
certain classes of freight, the
railroads cannot compete with
barges able to burn crude oil,
make fair time and operate
with a small crew.
The near future will witness
considerable development in
the revival of river traffic.
Added to the Louisville line
and the barges now operating
from Chicago to New Orleans,
is promised a st. Louis line Of
importance. The proof that
our great inland waterways in

along this line were made yes

Il believe that certain
spiritual regeneration is
going to come out of this
thing. We have been
thinking too much about
our individual selves and
too little about the coun-
try of which we consti-
tute a part.
"God forbid that we
should be drawn into war,
but if we should be, Am
erica would seem once
more to shake herself out
of a dream to say Did any
man dream that we were
asleep? Did any man
deem that we had for
gotten the traditions of
America? Did any man
deem that he could tam
per with the honor and
integrity of the United
States? And in the great
voice of enthusiasm
which would be raised all
the world would stand
once more thrilled to hear
the voice of the new
world asserting the stand
ards of justice and lib
erty."
While this Spiritual regen

it will be indulged in by capl
talists as well as by labOrint
folk. Let the armor plate anc
munition makers cease then
howl against government
plants and unite in supporting
a government armor factory
on the score it will be benefi
cial to the nation at large.
Let the shipping combine

If these things should come
