KAZAN DEF|LE HAS
THE GREAT WONDER

- mDHh ~
WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. 30
Just above the Hungarian town of
0rsova recently captured by the Ru-
nanians, is the scenically magnificent
Kazan Defile of the Danube, describ-
ed in the following war geography
bulletin issued by the National Geo.
graphic society:
Until the Hungarian government, at
the instigation of Count Stephen See
cheyni, constructed the famous See
chenyi road in 1934-3S, the Kazan De-
file of the Danube had been impassa-
BILE on either bank of the river for all
tie centuries which stretched between
the destruction of Trajans remarka-
BILE roadway, built in 1903 A. D., and
modern times.
AT Semlin, few miles above Bel
grade, the Danube is more than 1900
yards wide, with a depth of 40 feet,
but at the Kazan Defile its waters are
restricted to width of less than 1870
yards, and have depth in some places
Of 230 feet The rapids of the river
begin short distance above the defle
and rush over six great lodges of
rock.
"Trajans road, which extended from
Orsova to Golumbacs, might we'll have
been rated one of the lesser wonders
of the ancient world. Traces of the
military path, from five to seven feet
wide built just above the high water
level, are still to be seen on the right
or Serbian bank of the river. At points
where the Roman engineers encounter
ed the seemingly insuperable obstacle
of perpendicular walls of rock, which
could not be pierced, as blasting pow
der was unknown, there are visible the
holes bored in the stone from which
projected the wooden beams that sup
ported the covered galleries hanging to
tie face of the cliffs. At the end of the
end of the defile the time-w worn locks
still bear the famous 'Tabula Ira
jana, now hardly legible. The in
scription is supposed to commemorate
Trajan's first campaign against the
Dacians
"On the left or Hungarian bank of
the river, high above the Szechenyi
road, is a narrow hole in the face of
the Sukaru mountain, pointed out toI
tourists as the entrance to Veterans
Govern, which derives its name from
the Leonidas-like Austrian general
who with 400 soldiers held at bay a
easily superior Turkish force for
three months in 1892. Twenty-six
years later it was again held by the
Austrians under Major Stein. The
cavern is sufficiently large to garrison
600 men, and there are evidences that
it was used during the Roman occupa-
ton of this region.
"Scenically the Kazan Defile sug
gests some of the widest and most i'm
pressive gorges to be found in the Can
adian Rockies. Bare rocks from time
tc time rise suddenly frmo deep water,
while on both sides there is a success
ion of precipitious hills, some free OF
vegetation anu olherS cldu Win LOT
ests of beech, walnut and oak Through
this narrow gorge have flowed back
and forth for hundreds of years the
tides of Christian and Mohammedan
civilization. For ages it has been one
of the great channels of communication
between the West and the East"

I house under quarantine. This child was taken i'll Wednesday night and Dr. Smith was called in Thursday. He Hound the child suffering from a very paralysis. On his next visit to the house, which was Sunday morning, pr. Smith noticed that both arms and legs of the child showed signs of par alysiS. Sunday afternoon the doctor stated that the child could move the fingers on the left hand but the right hand and arm are completely para lyzed. The physician stated Sunday afternoon that although the child was paralyzed to a great extent the fever was not as high as on Saturday. He also stated that if the respiration was not affected by the paralysis the child in all probability would recover
 Quarantine Lifted.
 The quarantine on the Russ home on Windham road was raised Sunday as the time limit expired on that day. There was no suspicion attached to the other children in this house, where the Trickett child died about three weeks ago.
 It was learned Sunday that the Dion child on Lebanon road that has been suffering from the disease has been left paralyzed to a certain ex- tent. It is not known whether the child will be permanently paralyzed or not. It is thought that as the child grows older the affected arm may again become useful.
 City Health Officer Dr. c. A. Jen- kins advised the local churches not to hold Sunday school, as they had plan ned, Sunday. This was taken as a precautionary measure, as the health officer is endeavoring to stop as far as possible, all gatherings of children under 16 years of age.
 It was learned on Sunday that an- other child in the White home on Prospect street was suffering from illness. As the home remains under quarantine nothing can be done in the matter but await developments in the case.

 Saturday night the fifth case of in SfHntile paralysis fin this city developed, lthat of Regina Brania, the two-year-
 old daughter of MT. and Mrs. Joseph
 Brania of 35 Ives street. The sixth ease of the disease was reported to the health officer at Il o'clock Sun

city. His idea Is that much of the swilI that now accumulates in the city, and which represents something of a disposal problem, could be sys- tematically taken care of.
 MT. Leclair says that he collects more swfll than any individual in Putnam and that he makes weekly dreds here. MT. Leclair on his tour of the city sees little piles of gar bage, both unsightly and unsanitary, flies collecting about these piles by the hundred. His idea is that the city may have to do something in the future relative to garbage and swill disposal and his suggestion as to the city piggery follows.
 He recognizes that there would be some expense in establishing a plant such as he suggests, but believes it would be se1f-supporting after 1t was established.
 A number of cities maintain bigger ies and Montrtal is one where the venture has been so highly special fzed that it is a producer of revenue.
 Today marks the end of the long dren of Putnam, though some of the schools in town will not reopen until Sept. Il, a week from tomorrow

play the grand old game of baseball. They got their opportunity Saturday afternoon, when the Putnam team was pitted against a New York team advertised as the female champion pastimers of the world.
 The local players very discour- teously handed the champions a fine young walloping, this word being dis creetly used, winning ant II to 4. There were three men in the lineup of the female" team.
 Miss Friss, at first base, for the girls was not long in demonstrating that she is a regular ball player. She could shoot the ball across the dia- mond with whip that made some of the boys around the field jealous of her throwing ability, but Miss Friss was easily the best of the girl play CTS. Others of the girls did not show like players of a professional team, but they gave the crowd a fine enter tainment and everybody was satis- fled.

WHITEWAsHED CHAMPIONS.
Putnam Team Surprises Marlboro Ag- eresation, Which Had Record Of 1e Straight Wins.

Marlboro ball team, which advanced into Putnam Sunday morning with a record of 16 straight games won, left town Sunday night with that record smashed, for Putnam ball team ap- piled the whitewash, and when it was through Putnam had won, to 0, and Marlboro is still wondering what hap pened.
 Marlboro was completely outclassed. Putnam batted and f1elded far ahead of the Bay State team and Marlboro was unable to solve the delivery of IIanley.
 Putnam scored once in the first in ming, once in the second and five times in the third. The blowup in the third was the result of Putnams ability to solve Bold's delivery Clean hitting was responsible for the avalanche of runs.

 Both sides objected strenuously to some of Umpire Smiths decisions and the New London team threatened to leave the field in the last inning. A near riot between the New London players and some of the South Wind ham fans, following blows between Coyle, the visiting catcher, and one of the more rabid of the local spec tators, was quelled by some of the cooler heads.
 Fielding features during the game were contributed by Sylvia, Brogan and Coyle for New London and by Chamberlain, Williams and Mercer of the home team.
