which is the same as both the rivers
and harbors committee and the COM
mittee on interstate and foreign COM

Florida recently defeated Congress
man S. M. Sparkman for reelection
and lost the chairmanship of the riv-
ers and harbors committee. that
state gets the chairmanship back by
Senator Fletcher going into the place
of Senator Clarke.
Senator Fletcher's ardent advo-
cacy OF river and harbor work is we'll
known over the country and there
need be no fear that hereafter pro-

neglected.
II Is quite probable that at an early
date congress will be called upon to
take action regarding retaliatory
measures which the State depart-
ment is said to be preparing to nut
into effect against Great Britain be-
cause of her recently blacklisting
american firms. In addition to this
the Lusitania indemnity question is
another important matter which is
