Europe. We should all help to form
opinions against our entering the tur-

ing men to talk all they could against
such a policy, and to help all they
could to keep the country out OF war
Mr.. McManus urged that we main
tain strict neutrality and that we be
fair to all sides. 1t is unfair and I'M
American for us to criticize or Judge
the people of Europe or their feelings

The speaker decried the articles
going the rounds of the press and the
magazines that Uncle Sam is a weak
ling, and that he cannot take care OF
himself
Mr.. McManus predicted that II any
foreign host attempted to spread a
banner of tyranny over this country,
that there would arise a great host of
freemen such as never had been
dreamed of. He suggested that we

G. F. Mcfarland. who presided as
POSTMASTER, said that if the travelling

fashion in which the committee waited
on him. secured his membe rship. in
vited him to the banquet. secured his
promise to act as POSTMASTER. and in
sured his life they must be worth
about 100000. He spoke Of the travel
ing men as boosters, and talked about
what was meant by a booster. He
spoke Of the three things which he be-
lieved were vital to Keokuk The
first Of these was interurbans and
good roads. the second was the hous-
ing problem and the third was the i'm
portance of encouraging small indus
tries.
Two things of importance to the
travelling men he felt were good roads,
the improvement OF rivers and the
organization of barge lines for these
rivers. The Panama canal was
throwing all advantages to the coast
cities, and II the inland cities would
keep their trade they must utilize the
rivers, Mr.. Mcfarland said. He
spoke Of the movement to put feet
of barges on the river for intercourse
between north and south and urged
the travelling men to help.
The speaker said he was optimistic
about the future Of Keokuk, and he
felt that the start made in the de-
velopement Of the city would be car
ried through. He said that when he
looked back ten years, and saw what
had been accomplished he felt like

very fertile and productive lands lying along the river. Are we to make it a pork proposition and have the United States build levees at the danger points and revert the banks of the lower Connecticut where dur ing the early spring floods half a Connecticut farm will fall into the river. at once?'
 MT. TilsOn spoke in part as follows
 MT. Chairman, the bringing Up of this bill has served at least one useful purpose It removes the mask from what was for the most part only a, plausible pretext that the large sums appropriated and spent in the so- called improvement of the Mississippi river were expended for the improve ment of navigation. In the discus sion of this bill it has not been neces- sary to talk navigation where there is no navigation, or commerce where there is none. That is a distant ad- vance.
 "It is practically admitted that this is a. reclamation project, or at any rate it has been demonstrated that 1t is by the facts and arguments. 1t IS a reclamation project on a grand scale, one that appeals to the 1magl- nation, and, I believe, to the sound sense of broad minded men. It is project whose magnitude and possl- bilites arouse the most intense in terest, just as the boundless expanse of semi-arid land in the West has appealed to the stout-hearted Ameri- can and has challenged his daring and enterprise to go out and reclaim it. Just five years ago l crossed the state of Louisiana from east to west and part of the great state of Texas. It was dry season, but in Louisiana I saw unnumbered miles of the rich est alluvial land on the earth covered with water while in Texas boundless areas of black, waxy and other fertile

lands were producing little or nothlng for lack of the one thing, an over supply of which rendered much or the adjoining state valueless. It naturally occurred to me what wonderful transfguration the genius of man might bring to pass by re- ducing the amount of water In Louisiana and increasing it in Texas
 '"The sixteen millions of acres of unprotected overflowed alluvial land along the Mississippi must be saved, rot only for the sake of the present owners of this land who will un- doubtedly gain most, but for the sake of the people of the entire nation. We are a nation of a hundred mill lion people. Continental United States alone could easily support five hundred millions but it will support them far better if the fertile arid lands are watered and the alluvial overfowed lands are protected from the floods.
 ''The only question is how to bring it about. We are solving the ques ton in the case of the semi-arid lands of the overflow lands owing to the is somewhat more difficult in the case of the overf1owed lanls owing to the fact of it's being entirely in private ownership.
 ''In the case of the irrigation pro- jects where the United State owns the lands they can be sold after being made valuable and thus recoup the treasury for what has been expended. At least this is the theory upon which the work is proceeding. The bill under consideration presents the proposition baldly that the United States shall revert the banks of the river so as to prevent over flow and that the private owners of the land thus protected shall pay one fourth of the cost This does not appear to be entirely fair to all the

'T'ItS6V APPEALS FOR
 CONNECTICUT RIVER
Describes Damage Done Along Its
 Course During Flood Period
Especial to the Herald.)

Washington, May 11.-In speech delivered in the house upon the Humphrey bill authorizing appro B. priations of $45,OOO.OOO for building ievees and other means of flood pre-
 Vention on the Mississippi and Sacra- mento rivers, Representative Tilson suggested that the Connecticut river presented a parallel case and that the federal government might do something to guard against it's floods.
 MT. Tilson said that floods occur annually in the Connecticut valley, some years being worse than others.
 As you will recall if you have studied the geography of New Eng
 land," said Mr. Tilson, ''the Connec- ticut river rises near the Canada line, forms the boundary between Vermo ont and New Hampshire from north to south, crosses the entire width of both Massa achusetts and Connecticut and empties into Long Island Sound The waters of three states are poured into the little Connecticut and never does a year pass without great and jrreparable damage being done to the

heavy artillery was only prelude to the artillery operations now in pro- gress.
 "The French have not been able to compete with German artillery and ammunition. The enormous losses of the French are due partly to the effect of the German artillery and partly to the tenacity of the French, who will not abandon their trenches.
 Although it is generally con sidered that attacking forces must be four times superior to those oT the defense, in the Verdun campaign the number of German troops en- gagged is much less than half that of the French. The number of French troops may be calculated at not less than S00,000. This figure represents half of the entire forces which France still has at her disposal for active fighting.
