Of transportation.
Two of the most important pro-
jectes waterways remain to be built
one of them lateral to the Rhonc will
continue the system from Havre and
Paris to Marseilcs by way of Lyons
and will enable the Rhone to compete
with the Rhine for Swiss trade to the
Mediterranean; another CONNECTING
the Rhonc with the Dordognc-that
is to say connecting Lyons and Mar
seilles with BordeauX-will give Swift
zerland a shorter route to American
ports than that by the Rhine.
lll-convcivcd rivalry of the strong
cr railroad interests is accused of re-
trading these projects as well as a
shorter line, but of comparatively
greater importance, the North and
East connecting the canals of the Es-
caut. the Mcusc, and the Chiers, and
serving as connecting link between
the iron and coal districts.
Had the canals built and projected
been in efficient operation at the be-
ginning of the war, it is probable
that they would have eascd transpor-
tation difficulties SO as to have kept
the cost oc living muca nearer nor
NAL; they would at least have kept
coal from going from 40 francs to
l30 francs ton.

MERCHANTS SHOULD GIVE
LOWER PRICES IN COLLECT
I'VE ORDERS.

Merchants should cooperate with
the organized farmers by securing
for them the lowest possible prices
when they buy collectively, and thus
encourage the spirit of community or
ganiZation.
There is now much more pre- judicc
among merchants against organized
farmers who buy and sell coopcra-
lively than exists among organized
farmers against local mercantile in
tcrests. Since there can be no nota-
bit rural community development
without community organization, the
merchant no really wants to see the
wealth-crcating power Of farmers in
creased should encourage and aid
members Of the Farmers Union in
making the organization render bet
ter servicc.-J. y. Green, in The Pro-

FRENCH CARRYING
SYSTEM IS FAULTY
Need of Better Interior Lines of Com
merce Felt.

Paris, Dec. 20.-(Correspondcnce Of
the Associated Press. )-Nothing has
availed to check the increase of the
cost of living in France. Brcand only
has escaped the tendency. Everything
else considered, it costs at least rs
per cent more to live in France to-
day than it did three years ago. War,
of course, is the first explanation, but
economic experts declare that Difficult
ties of transportation and high
freights form the chief factors and
that these difficulties are due largely
to the failure of the government to
have ever carried out the projects for
interior navigation which were urged
fred, years ago. In the opinion of
these same econimic authorities the
failure of France to realize these ca
nal projects has been responsible for
her anomalous position in the world
carrying trade.
Although some 200 to 500 miles
nearer America and from two hun
dred to two thousand miles nearer the
extreme Oriental markets than Ant
werp or Hamburg, the French port,
of Marscilles before the war was sur
passed by those Belgian and German
ports in Central European trade to
the Orient, while Bordeaux, ,iavre and
other French Atlantic ports were far
behind them in trade with the two
Americas. The marvellous internal
organization of navigation and trans
portation in Belgium and Germany
enabled them to drain toward their
ports nearly all the rorcgn bound
traffic of Central Europe though
lengthening the route and increasing
the time of delivery.
Geneva, for instance, is further
| from Antwerp than it is from Bor-
deauX, yet in 1912 Bordeaux received
almost nothing from Switzerland
while Antwerp received 81 900 tons
to be shipped by its longer route to
European ports. In the same year
Bordeaux received and forwarded to
Geneva only $500 tons while Ant
Werp was way station for $4,000
| tong going nito Switzerland.
The new necessities created by the
war, however, made Bordeaux the
port for $4,000 tons Of cotton and
grain and other commodities en- route
for Switzerland in 1915. Economic
authorities argue that with proper ia
cillties four years ago Bordeaux
would have received lions share Of
the $4,000 tons of ingoing and outgo-
ing Swiss traffic in 1912.
The question is one of the Rhine
against the Rhone so far as concerns
| Central European traffic for which
Switzerland acts as a sort Of "turn-
table" and with it are connected in
timateiy the long discussed projects
of the Rhone canal, the canal from
| Marseilles to the Rhone, and the ca
nal from the Rhonc to the Girondc
with Marseilles and Bordeaux as the
termini.
De Freycinet and other far-seeing
statesmen who elaborated these canal
projects tell from power before they
were realized but economic authori-
tiesbelieve that the era of reconstruc-
tion after the war will see France

DELAY IN REPLY TO GERMAN
NOTE CAUSES DEEP
CONCERN.

Berlin, May 3.--Herr Won Jagow
the foreign minister at the reopening
of the sitting of the budget committee
of the Reichstagg yesterday said the
government had not yet reached a de-
cision with regard to the situation
that had arisen from the American
note to Germany regarding Germany's
submarine campaign. AS soon as the
imperial chancellor returned from
headquarters, Herr Won Jagow added,
he would give the committee definite
information.
Washington, May 3.-Two weeks
have passed since the United States
dispatched to Germany its note de-
handing that an abandonment of
present methods of submarine warfare
Immediately be declared and affected
and last night the State Department
was without any definite information
indicating that the demand would be
complied with.
AS the days go by and no reply
comes from Berlin and Ambassador
Gerard sends no word regarding the
attitude of the German government,
an air of grave concern is beginning
to manifest itself in administration
circles.
1t is felt here that the very length
of time which has been consumed by
the German government in preparing
a reply in itself indicates that the
communication will not take the
shape of simple response to the
distinct and clear cut issue raised in
the American note. 1t is feared that
the reply is likely to assume an argu-
mentatiye character which can scar
cely be regarded as meeting the re-
quirements of the United States.
Persons in close touch with affairs.
at the German embassy say the Ber-
lin government has been advised that
the United States meant just what it
said in its note and was not prepared
to enter into any negotiations on the
subject of submarine warfare until
present methods had been aban-
doned.
German circles believe Germany
certainly will agree to abandon oper-
atoms Objectionable to the United
States, at least, pending negotiations
on the subject II is pointed out that
there even is a possibility that in
structions to this end already have
been issued to submarine command
ers.
