kept up as it should be, gave us re-
lief from Easton. The Delaware
river provided an outlet from Phila-
delphia, Wilmington and that sec
ton. The Hudson extended the
Erie Canals facilities to New York
and also provided an outlet for the
electrical material from Schenectady
and vicinity.
when it came to Pittsburgh,
however, trouble arose. 1t was first
thought that satisfactory deliveries
could be made from the Ohio river to
Portsmouth, thence by the Ohio and
Erie Canal to Cleveland, or via the
Ohio to the Muskingum and thence
via the Ohio and Erie Canal to Dres-
den. These canals were represent
ed as being in active operation and
preparations were made to use these
routes if necessary. Both these
routes had been allowed to become
useless because of the failure of the
State of Ohio to provide appropria-
tions for their upkeep. Similar con-
ditions have rendered useless the
ether waterways.
"Had these canals been kept up,
they would have enabled the depart
ment to ship heavy plates and the
necessary material for construction
and repair work on battleships from
Pittsburg via canal directly to New
York. The failure to keep them up
necessitated the working out of an
elaborate trolly route to Buffalo,
which, at its best, would have pro-
vided for only a small fraction of
the $500 tons which were needed
within six weeks at the New York
Yard alone, and this in time of
peace with no war demands to be
considered.
"The canal from Easton to Bris-
tol was found to be too small. The
Lehigh Canal, being under the con-
trol of railroads, was. also in poor
shape for transportation. and the
Morris canal, so far as information
could be secured, was practically out
of business. With these routes open
and kept efficient, the allimportant
armor plate district of Bethlehem
would be free of the necessity of
using railroad transportation.

GIFTS FLOW IN TO MEET
:. EXPENSES OF THE WAR
(By Associated Press. }

London, Sept. 15.-Officials of the
treasury have been surprised by the
steady inflow of gifts from all parts
of the empire and from former Brit
ishers in neutral countries in the
form of cash towards meeting the
expenses of the war. The donors
range from men and women to small
boys and girls, the former sending
sums amounting up as high as a
thousand pounds and the latter re-
mitting the contents of their savings
banks. A total Of many thousands
of pounds has been sent. Sums rang
ling from a shilling to a thousand
pounds are acknowledged with the
same promptness and politeness by
the treasury
Many gifts are accompanied with
notes explaining that they are de-
s'gned as substitutes for personal
service at the front, and one man in
Canada explains that a sum of 200
pounds is intended as payment for
schooling obtained in England half
century ago.
A firm in Sandakan, British North

that as that territory contributes
nothing towards the finances of the
empire while enjoying all benefits OF
British protection, they wished to be

Gilded Lads Barred at Leland STAFFORD

Palo Alto, Calf, Sept % Wealth is
a handicap to the college student and
the poor boy has the advantage. ac-
cording to DR. Ray Lyman Wilbur,
president of Leland Stanford Univer-
sity, in statement today.
As consequence of this belief, DR..
Wilbur declared that beginning this
year autos may not be owned by stu
dents; that too frequent dances, the
purchase of expensive flowers for CO.
eds and similar Injuries will be banned.
| DIR. Wilbur is so convinced he is right
about this that he has sent circular
letter to students parents saying that
students with too much money are not
desired at the school, If they are in
clined to spend their time in the pur-
suit of pleasure
The letter urges parents to refrain
from too liberal allowances and warns
them that as the number of entrants
this year is limited, those students how
fail to show they are doing honest
work will not be permitted to remain.
Stanford does not particularly seek
poor boys and discourage the entrance
of the wealty, DR.. Wilbur explains,
but experience has shown that the
poor boy has. on the whole made a
better record, both as student and
afterwards. His appeal DIR. Wilbur
says, is an endeavor to save the
wealthy lad from mis- own particular
dangers.
1T takes time to run an automobile
and it often leads to life off the cam
pus, to extravaganza and much foolish
ness, says the letter, adding: There
is plenty to do in the way Of variety
right at the university with its swim
ming pools, athletic fields, gymnasiums,
beautiful walks ana the like There il
no need to go to SanFrancisco more
than once or twice semester and this
trip can be. conveniently and cheaply
made by trait There is no need to
supply money for orchids, for dance
parties or for taxi hire.

to lead the clean, simple, Industrious
life expected on the Stanford campus
should go elsewhere. II you do not
feel that it expresses the right atti-
tude toward alcohol, hazing, self con-
troll. payment of debts and things Of
that sort, it would be better to keep
your son or daughter at home, or send
them elsewhere. 1t viii save them
