High Road to Europe Proper.

This is the high road between Greece
and Europe proper, and was the route
followed by the Austro-German armies
on their advance into southern Serbia
The streams flowing through these val
leys, with their tributaries and the
lakes which they feed, make the cam
pania the granary of Saloniki But as
they converge toward the city and the
gulf they form a region of swamps
which is harmful or useful, according
as one regards it from a hygienic or a
strategic point of view.
"a fourth and less practicable valley,
that of the Galiko, opens behind Sa-
loniki to the north. Last. but not
least. especially in the light of cur
rent events. Is the long valley of Lam
gatha, which separates the Chalcidice
Two lakes make up twenty-eight
miles of the forty miles from Saloniki
to the sea through the valley of
Langatha- 1t forms the shortest and
easiest route between Macedonia and
Thrace. Through 1t of old ran the
Roman road that went from Durazzo
to Constantinople. And long before the
time of the Romans, Xerxes and his
invading Persians streamed through
the Lagantha valley on their way to
Greece.
The modern railway. however, takes
more roundabout route, winding
among the foothills of the Rhodope,
never very far from the Bulgarian
border, through Sores and Drama to
the Bulgarian port of Dedeagatch, $50
miles from Saloniki, and meets the
main line of the Orient railway near
Demotlka, In eastern Thrace."

WHY ALLIES SELECTED
SALON|KI AS A Center
City Has Many Lines of Commune
cation With Important Points
on Balkan Front.

Just why the entente allies selected the
operations in the Balkans has been some
| thing of an enigma to the average Ameri-
can reader who follows the war news
with an interested spectators concern in
the strategic importance of the various
points seized after desperate losses and
defended with equal disregard for human
life. The first comprehensive description
of the Saloniki environs, given in layman
language. is presented by the National
Geographic Society in a war geography
bulletin based on a communication to
that organization from H. G. Dwight
The writer shows why Saloniki was, with
out question. the one place which was
military affairs by the allies in the Bal
kans. The analysis of the terrain is
such that it is more easily followed with
the aid of map before the reader. and
it is worthy of preservation for future
reference as this storm center comes re-
peatedly within the focus of world
events:
the head of a long gulf, shaped very
much like the liberty cap of the French
revolution. This gulf. bending to the east
in such a way that it's inner recesses can
never feel the disturbances of the open
sea. is formed by that peninsula of Chal-
cidice whose three long promontories of
kassandra. Longo. and Athos are the
salient features of the northern Aegean.
The longer western shore of the gulf
sweeps in a curve of more than 100 miles
from Saloniki to the tip of the peninsula
of Thessaly

ing out at the classic peak of Olympus
(9.S00 feet. through the gate of the
inner bay. The immediate edges of the
bay are fiat. having been gradually
leveled by the three rivers that pour
into 1T. But at no great distance from
the water the final spurs of the Rhodope
MOUNTAINS make an amphitheater
peaks 5000 feet each.
'On the north the hill of Daoud
Baba reaches a height of 1900 feet
whence the ground drops away in the
preston. locally known as the cam
pania, stretches inland and northward
forty or forty-f1ve miles to the but
tresses of the Pindus range and the
heights that separate western from
central Macedonia.
These inclosing eminences are all in
Greek territory. Through them strike
five main avenues of exist. radiating
toward every part of the Balkan pc
ninsula The southernmost, the valley
of the Vistritsa. the classic He1iakmon,
is the main artery of communication
between Saloniki, Thessaly and Athens.
No railroad. however, as yet connects
the systems of northern and central
Greece.
Next, to the southwest, opens the
valley of the Mavroneri dydias), an
affluent of the Vardar, which has al
ways been a highway between the
Aegean and the Adriatic. Through it
runs the railway to Monastir, 120 miles
distant. A second and more important
railroad follows the main stream of
the Vardar (Axios), the chief river of
Macedonia. leaving Greek territory
near Gevgeli. some forty miles to the
northwest. At Uskup about $50 miles
from Saloniki. 1t divides. one branch
going to Mitrovitsa, on the confines of
the old Sanjak of Novibazar. the other
joining at Nish the main line of the
Orient railway.

Now. it is very desirable that the
laboratory be located near the Naval
Academy. where its equipment and
works may be an example and inspira-
tion to the midshipmen and post-grad-
uate students. Squads of the mid
shipmen visit the Naval Engineering
Experiment Station every week. and
the postgraduate student officers
spend part of their time there.
By its location near Baltimore. there
is available for employment the me-
chanics aud lahorers of a growing in
dustrial city, while the graduates of
the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute.
the most advanced technical high
school in the country, make excellent
laboratory helpers and laboratorians.
While the location OF the present
Naval Engineering Experiment Sta
tion al Annapolis is ideal. according 10
the above necessary and desirable
features of a naval laboratory, there
is strong reason why the present Sta
ton should be developed rather than
a new laboratory established An or
ganization has been developed at the
present Station familiar with naval
needs and experienced in practical re
search and experimental work. BY
the expansion OF this organization. ad-
ditional work can Immediately be ta-
ken in hand and the mistakes of a new
organization avoided II is reported
that Mr. Edison is drawing up plans
for new laboratory With all due
respect to Mr.. Edisons genius. it will
be unfortunate If these plans are car
ried out without the fullest co-opera-
tion of the individual eXperimentors
IN naval laboratory which has been
in existence for nearly ten years. hut
which is not widely known because the
staff has been kept so busy they have
not had time to advertise themselves
and the laboratory.
The cost of the proposed new lab
oratory has been set at FIVE million
dollars. and the Secretary of the Navy
has asked for an initial appropriation
of one million dollars. Is it not
reasonable inference that more can be
accomplished with less loss Of time by
spending this sum where an initial
investment Of 100000 in buildings
and equipment and sufficient land is
already available, than on an entirely
new site?

WANTS Open BALLOT
On Vote for State Treasureship
But Vandiver Forces Are
Opposed.
DUvALL OFFERS TWO BILLS.
Starts Fight for Return Of State Offices
to Annapolis Robert Mckee
Made Custodian Of Public
Buildings.

With the reassembling of the Legis-
lature this morning it was almost inn
mediately made manifest that the re-
ports of the precarious condition of
Murray Vandiver's candidacy for the
State Treasurership had not been ex-
aggerated.
The Senate which had adjourned yes
terday while considering nominations
and Immediately after hearing that the
House, by an overwhelming vote, adop-
ted the open ballot, which the Vandiver
forces were so opposed to.took the lead
in the mornings developments.
Senator Zihlman moved the close OF
the nominations. and offered message
to the House which coneurred in the
open ballot plan. but he consented to
withdrew this in favor of a similar
message offered by Senator Frick. The
adoption of the message providing an
open ballot and setting the hour of the
election at 2.15 this afternoon was
adopted by viva voce vote and with
out single opposing voice

of a stronger military and a militia
reserve, is provided in resolution
offered by President Campbell, of the
Senate, today.
Senator Frank NJ. Duvall, of this
county. offered two bills today and in
one of them got an early start on his
fight for the return of all State offices
to Annapolis and the erection of State
office buildings here. The bill pro-
vides, as did the similar measure he

There had been some talk by the
Lee-Archer people of putting in such
bill as one of their declared program
of bills for in creating State govern
mental efficiency and cutting down the
state expenses. but when they found
that State Senator Duvall had such a
measure they abandoned the plan, and
will il is generally understood, get
behind him and help him in his meas

DuvaH provides for an amendment to
the local law so that the Sheriff of

Senator JOY, of Calvert county, of
fered today the joint resolution rati-
fying the bill passed last session under
which Calvert county is to subscribe
to $150.000 of the stock of the Balti-
more and Chesapeake Railroad (old

similar TO the one passed for Anne
Arundel county four yearsago and rat
flied last year.
Governor Harrington announced this
morning the appointment temporarily
of Robert Mckee, of Baltimore, as GUS
todian or superintendent of Public
