Lii Col. LeRoy Harron as commander
of The troops to take the place Of Capt
Edward M. Nevils. resigned.
The order for the serseants to remain
here was issued by Gen. William Il.
Harvey this morning. These men have
had active charge OF the recruiting

have been keenly felt. especially since
no one would be In direct command OF
the movement. until an officer could be
deeie mated commander.
The final physical examination for b
Troop will be held at the l. street ar
'mory tonight. About twenty-five men
are expected to be examined Only ten
men are necessary to complete the ros-
ter OF the troop.

at the recruiting station tomorrow at
noon.

given next week to the friends OF the

appeals to the rulers Of allied nations to
save Roumania from disaster after the
fall of Constanza, according to Buda-

The messages were sent following a
stormy session Of the Roumanian cabi-
net. Roumanian military leaders were
said TO have been harshly criticised by
several of the ministers, but supported
by the King, who declared the Rouman-
ian defeat was due to the fact that
Russia had failed 70 supply the artillery
and munitions she had promised.
German military men expect an early
demonstration by the allies. probably on
the italian and Macedonian fronts, In
response to King Fedinand's appeal:
Because the. allied armies take sufficient
munitions for great armies oil these
fronts, the attacks are expected to be

REPORTED BY UNITED STATES BULLETIN

commerce amounting TO 100000 short
tons in volume Of $4,000 600 in value.
II is rather surprising TO find that
there are GS ports Of this importance
in the United States-23 OH the At
lantic coast. s oil the Gulf OF Mexico,
10 on the Pacific coast. on the Ohio
river, and nc less than % on the Great
Lakes.
In recent years there has been a
decided tendency toward public own
eIship Of waterfront property. due in
part to recognition of the community
value of port. and. in part, to the
increasing tendency of congress to re-
quire communities receiving federal
aid in harbor and waterways improve
ments to maintain public terminals
Only few ports, namely, New Or
leans. San Francisco. Los Angeles,
and San Diego own the major por-
ton of their water fronts or are in a
position to acqui the bulk of it, The
ports Of Oakland, Sacramento, Stock
ton, and Washington are similarly
placed. These are the only ports of
the 6S studied in which the public in
terest Is dominant Six Of these 8
ports are located on the Pacific coast
Although at each of the other ports
the frontage owned and controlled by
the state or city is less than one-haIf
of the total available frontage, such
frontage neTer heless usually repre-
sents a substantial interest This is
true of the ports of New York, Phila-
delphia, Boston, and Baltimore on the
Atlantic coast, and of the ports of Sc
attic and Tacoma on the Pacific coast
During recent years noteworthy prog
ress toward dominant public owner
ship Of waterfront property has been
made in Baltimore. Boston. Hartford
Jacksonville, New Bedford, New Lon
don, Pensacola, Philadelphia, Provi-
dence. Portland, Ore, Seattle, Tacoma
and Tampa.
1t will be news to some to learn
that Boston has the most expensive
as well as the largest pier in the
United States, if not in the world
Commonwealth pier no. has cost up
ward Of 81 900 900 and is 1900 feet
long and 400 feet w,-e. Boston will
soon have another o:stlnction-that
of owning the largest dry dock in the
Weston hemi ephere. Already work
has begun on dry dock 1000 feet
long.
The most noteworthy progress
made in recent years in port devel-
opment, however, has been shown by

been made in the last FIVE years. Gin

Pittsburg the frontage used for the

cinnati was expressly dedicated to
that use in the ordinance of 1887 Gre
ating the Northwest territory.
The report dwells at some length
upon the increasing influence of the
federal government upon port devel-
Opment. This is attributed to the
fact that the governmzn; contributes
large sums for improving harbOrs,
thus placing in the HAMS of congress
an important though indirect power
Frequently appropriations for local
Improvements are made subject to the
performance or nOn-pcrformance of
certain acts on the part of the locality
benefited. A marked tendency in
river and harbor bills in recent years
is to require localities seeking aid to
contribute toward the expense, or
what is more significant. to provide
public terminals. In recent years the
Interstate Commerce commission has
been given powers the exercise of
which may profoundly affect the de-
velopment of ports in this country.
Section 6 of the act to regulate COM
merce, as amended by the Panama
canal act of August "a, 1912, gives the
commission power to establish "phy-
Steal connection between the lines of

II Is interesting TO aote the state
ment that the great majority of our
ports along the seabOard are actually
located on rivers, some of the most
important ports reached by Ocean-go-
ing vessels being located far inland.
Thus New Orleans is 106 miles from
the Gulf OF Mexico; Philadelphia 1916
miles from the Delaware Bay; Balti-
more l5f miles from Hampton Roads.
Other ports located considerable
distance inland are Brunswick, which
