RAIL AND WATER ROUTES

By the grace of the Interstate Com
merce Commission the Georgia Gen.
trail Railway company is permitted,
in common with others, to use the
Atlantic ocean. The commission finds
that the Savannah line of steamships
between Savannah, New York and
Boston, operated by the railroad, is
not detrimental to the interests of
the public. This action is in de-
cided contrast to the order of the
commission compelling the railroads
to discontinue their boat lines on the
Great Lakes, notwithstanding the fact
that the Take -and-rail' rates were
lower than the all-rail rates from the
east to the west That in consequence
of the discontinuance of the lake
boats the transportation facilities in
the middle west will be the worst
in the history of the carriers is
fearer by the shippers at lake ports.
1t also is not unlikely that rates will
be increased, as was predicted in
recent protest by the business inter-
ests of Chicago. But the Interstate
Commerce Commission assumed the
responsibility of curtailment of the
use of the lakes, and if shippers find
that it's course is bad for business
they have the privilege Of asking
their representatives in congress to

THE EXPLOSION IN SUBMARINE
E-2

The new storage batteries for sub
marine propulsion, now being ex-
perimented with, naturally come under
suspicion to account for the explo-
sion which killed four men and in
jured ten others while at work in the
E-2, in drydock at the Brooklyn
yard But there will surely not be a
hasty verdict to that effect. These
batteries have been expressly de-
signed to overcome recognized peril
to life inherent in the composition of
ordinary batteries under the condi-
tions of submarine operations. That
they were, in fact, exploded appears
from the evidence so far made public
That, of course, is not the same thing
as saying that the explosion originat-
ed with them.
1t may be hoped that the findings
by the court of inquiry will be defi-
mite, so that whatever the trouble was
it can be made impossible in future
The ordinary hazards of the sub
marine service are cheerfully ac-
cepted by officers and men, but they
ought to be safeguarded, to the last
degree, against accidents due to faulty
construction or equipment.

Secretary Hay protested vigorously,
under the instruction of President
Roosevelt, and England finally showed
willingness to come to an under
standing with the United States. Ger
many refused, announcing a deter
mination to take temporary possess
sion' of Venezuelan territory as Sc

velt fearing that this expedient was
merely pretext to obtain a foot

PAPACOES GRANTED
BIC RESERVATION

TUCSON, Ariz Jan. 27.-Over 1000
square miles of land, occupied by
the Papago Indians in southern Ari-
zona, have been set aside as a per-
manent reservation for the Papagoes,
according to advices received here
from Hon. Cato Sells, commissioner
of Indian Affairs. The new reserya-
ton, which will be the largest in
Arizona, is bounded on the east by
the Baboquivari mountains, the Coy
otes and the Roskruge ranges, on the
south by the international boundary
and on the west by the Ajo noun
tains. The land, which has been in
effect a Papago reservation for the
past hundred years, is now formally
set aside for the Indians, exclusive
of mineral rights.
The Papagoes are the only Indian
citizens of the United States, having
been citizens of Mexico when their
territory was made a part of this
country. Commissioner Sells visited
the Papagoes last year and was
greatly impressed with the progress
they made, and enthusiastic over the
results achieved in their struggle to
gain a living from the inhospitable
desert Farming and cattle raising
are the principal means of livelihood.

THE WORLD MOVES

1t was about sixty y-seven years ago
that Elizabeth Blackwell succeeded in
fighting her way into the ranks of
the medical profession and was
granted a diploma by the Medical
College at Geneva, N. Y. From that
time until recently, the path of the
woman practitioner was far from
smooth, and sometimes it was beset
with many thorns. Now, it is an
nounced, there is an increasing de-
mand for the medical services of

abundantly For it is worthy of note
that Miss Blackwell had been re-

colleges, and the institution at Geneva
was roundly criticized for what was

professional ethics.
In recalling the prejudice of physi-
clans against women practitioners in
the late forties and for many years
thereafter, it should be remembered
that many radical changes have takeni
place in methods of medical practices.
In the light of present knowledge, a
physician who should extract a bowl
of blood from a patient who was
suffering from scarlet fever or apply
seton in a case of tuberculosis,
would subject himself to close ethical
inquiry. Nor must it be forgotten
that a prominent surgeon of the Sec
ond quarter Of the nineteenth century
obligated his Students under oath, not
to operate for removal OF stone in the
bladder or perform Caesarian section,
operations which now readily lend
themselves to scientific surgery 1t
is rot strange, therefore, that preju-
Gice against women physicians is
passing and that their work is be-
coming more and more highly ap-
preciated. For the world moves.

AN oHJEcT-LEssoN FROM INDIA

1t has long been more than a mat
ter of mere speculation that the ira
ditional fertility Of what has been
regarded in modern times as the site
Of the Garden of Eden, in Mesopo-
tamia, was due to irrigation by the
ancients. Modern researches on
scientific lines have made it plain
that it was only the abandonment
of irrigation systems in Mesopotamia,
the valley of the Nile and India, that
brought about the sterile conditions
to remedy.
In so far as India is concerned
there is a firm determination to re-
store conditions, and again, as in re-
mote times, make the desert places
blossom as the rose. According to
the Indiaman, London publication,
augurate what is called the most
stupendous irrigation canal in the
world" and it is said to be more i'm
portant than the system by which it
is proposed to refertilize the valley
of the Nile and bring back to
Mesopotamia its long lost agricultural
splendor.
The India irrigation canal has S32
miles Of main line and approximately
22,645 miles of channels. 1t will irri-
gate 100000 acres of arid land, and
it is anticipated that this restored
land will yield crops worth $11, 100000
year. 1t represents a direct expen-
diture of $S5,OOO,OO0, which is practi-
cally doubled by indirect charges
against the project. BY way of COM
parison it is stated that the India
canal will water nearly as much land
as do all the twenty five irrigation
projects of the United States.
Ambitious as have been the irri-
cation projects in the United States
in recent years, it is now realized
that the scheme of irrigation adapts
itself readily to small areas of now
infertile land. 1t has been found that
at comparatively small cost land in
valleys along many streams, which
is now scarcely worth cultivating, can
be brought into high fertility through
irrigation. Thus, by timely storage,
water which now goes to waste in
seasonable floods may be conserved
to water the thirsty lands in periods
of drought. With the introduction of
steam plowing, or the more adaptable
gasoline driven plow, and an econom-
ical system of barrage, thousands of
miniature desert fields in this country
could be brought into condition of
high fertility.

THE LESSONS OF EXPERIENCE

The favorite idea of the pacificist
is that there are two alternatives in
dealing with Mexico. One is to wiring
our hands futilely over the destruc-
tion of American lives, and the other
is to invade Mexico with an enormous
army. If the pacificists had a little
more practical knowledge of human
nature, it might occur to them that
what is known in the language of
poker as a bluff sometimes has a
most beneficent effect in putting the
fear of American wrath into the
hearts of those hostile to our inter-
ests.
The late John Hay, in his inter-
esting "reminiscences, reveals an in
spring chapter of our relations with
Germany, when Theodore Roosevelt
was president, which is very much to
the point as illustrating how a firm
front and courageous bearing in
spire respect and consideration.
Venezuela, in 1902, was in trouble
with Germany, Great Britain and
Italy over money owed which the
Venezuelans showed little intention Of
paying. The Germans and English
made a joint demand on Venezuela
for the payment of the money due.

ROUMANlA AND THE ALLIES

Again it is reported that Rou-
mania is about to enter the war on
the side of the Allies, whose activities
IN Greece and Bessarabia are said to
have given impetus to Roumanian
sympathies and inspired greater con-
fidence in the Allied cause. The Allies
have not yet done much in Greece ex-
cept to assemble in uncertain numbers
at and about Saloniki and to entrench
themselves, but in Bessarabia the
Russians have evidently been fighting
with considerable energy and have
been renewing their threat against
the Austrian province of Bukowina.
AS to the number of French and
British soldiers in Greece there is no
official information for the public.
Writing to the New York Tribune
from Paris, Richard Harding Davis
says:
The censor would not permit me to
say what numbers of men, stores,
guns and ammunition were brought
ashore. But it is one of the peculiari-
ties of the situation that it is some
thing that every German knows
Probably in no other war has a condi-
ton so remarkable existed. Ger
man correspondent with the German
forces in Monastir claims that he has
already visited Saloniki; seen every
thing that was to be seen in the way
Of preparation, even the trenches in
the first lines of defense, and returned
to Monastir. In this there is nothing
improbable. He could have come to
Saloniki also from Berlin via Con-
stantinople, for Saloniki is still neu-
trail port and, therefore, is the haven
and happy hunting ground for spies.
A German spy, who watches the Allies
preparing to meet his army is in no
more danger than when he watches
his wife cook his coffee and black his
boots. Upon a Greek city of 10000
persons Of mixed races, 100000 Allied
troops have descended, but the local
authority is still Greek.
This is interesting in several ways.
1t shows the folly Of the censor in
preventing the publication of facts
which everybody, including the enemy,
knows, and it shows Mr.. Davis giving
the number Of Allied soldiers in
Greece a few days ago as 100000
while saying that the censor would
not permit him to give the figures.
If the Allies have no more than 200, 900
soldiers at Saloniki and the Greek
ports to the east of that city, they are
still far short of having force strong
enough to permit of offensive opera
tions, and the Roumanians cannot ex-
pect much from that direction.
Russia seems to be a more depend
able element in the Near Eastern op-
erations which is apparently the opin-
ion of the Teutonic powers, as we'll as
of outsiders. This is indicated by the
latest dispatches about their intention
to send large force against the Rus
slams in the Bessarabia region, to pre-
vent another invasion of Austrian ter
ritory. Perhaps Roumania will wait
while longer
