THE MOTHER COUNTRY AGAIN.

The action of Great Britain in put
ting many American concerns on the
"Black List has aroused the ire of
this government, and justly so. Just
at this time when one of the allied ma
tions is making strong effort to float
a loan = this country, and right upon
the heels of our diplomatic victory over
Germany in her submarine warfare, it
would seem that the mother country
is blinded to reason, and especially is
she showing an inconservative hand. A
note has been dispatched by this gov
eminent protesting most vigorously
against the act, which all supposedly
intelligent and civilized countries view
with much surprise. 1t looks like a
'bite the hand that feeds' act to the
American public.

MEASURING THE MISSISSIPPI.

One Of the basic lines of activity OF
the United States Geological Survey
is the measurement of the flow Of the
rivers Of the United States. This work
was begun by the survey in 1888 in
connection with special studies of wa
ter irrigation, and since 1895 the bills
passed by Congress appropriating
money for the work of the Survey
have carried an item "for gaging
streams' Measurements Of flow have
been made at about 3,4OO points in the
United States and at many points in
small areas in Seward Peninsula and
the Tuk on Tanana region, Alaska, and
in the Hawaiian Islands. Numerous irj-
vate and State organizations have co
operated in the work either by fn,-
nishing data or by providing financial
assistance in collecting data. In July,
1914, about 1880 gaging stations wcrc
!
being maintained by the Survey and
the cooperating organiza tions, and
many measurements Of discharge We're
made at other points.

LONDON, April 9.-The official German denial of the attack upon the Sussex is obviously impossible to confront with facts proving the contrary, although is is quite clear that German U boat did do that work. The submarine was clearly seen by the captain and others on the Sussex, besides the fact that fragments of a German torpedo were found in the hull ot the steamer is considered evidence sufficient to make false the German statement relative to the attack.
