Paris.-(C Correspondence OF the As
sociated Press. - Although French
scientists have done a good deal to
e helm the government catch up with
Germany in the scientific departments
OF her military preparation, there is
still complaint that their services have
not been utilized to the best advantage,
and the Academy of Sciences now
poses a question as TO whether men
Of technical training shall not have
greater share in the formidable work
Of reorganizing France after the war.
Henry le Chatelier Of the Institute,
proposes that the Academy gO-to work
at once TO formulate the working meth
DDS best calculated TO accelerate the
industrial and economic recovery Of
the country, without waiting for poll
ticians TO decide whether the services
of technical and scientific men will be
accepted.
Members Of the Institute expected
that the government would have re-
course to their technical knowledge in
the organization of some of the army
departments Instead, members of
parliament, entirely lacking in tech
meal knowledge. were placed in
charge of services such as the NUM-
tons, sanitary and aerOnautic depart
ment, while men of technical training
we're allowed only TO submit inventions
and suggestions.
Under the parliamentary regime the
presence Of men not members OF par
Lament in the government is not
looked upon with favor. Premier Bri-
and was obliged TO overcome consid-
cradle resistance in order TO get the
chamber OF deputies TO accept such
specialists as General Gallieni in the
war department and Admiral Lacaze
al the head of the navy.
The administration has no use for
sayants." is a remark attributed to the
Democrats Of the war and navy de-
partments. Both those portfolios have
been held by civilians at most critical
periods of the history of the Third re
public
Previous 10 the ROuvier administra-
ton in 1905, there had always been a
soldier at the head Of the war depart
ment with the exception of the admin
situations of Charles de Freycinet, who
was, however. a technician of the high
est competence. Since that period the
department has been in the hands of
civilians seven years out of eleven.
The navy department has been ad-
mlnistered by naval officer only three
years out of the last 20. The rest of
the time it was in the hands of lawyers
or journalists.
Just prior TO the Tangiers incident
mat threatened war. the navy was ad-
mlnlstered by a journalist and the war
department by a stock broker.

New Ferry Landing in Spring-By
next spring if the requests of the leyee
commission are needed, Davenport
will have a fine new ferry landing at
the foot of Main street. Captain Mar
Gus l.. Henderson of the Rock Island
Davenport Ferry company, appeared
before the commission and asked 10 De
allowed to move his landing up to the
foot of Perry street this fall. he
claimed that the steamboats,, LANDING
as they do just above the site of the
present dock, makes 1t very hard Tor
the ferry TO navigate. At present,
however. the levee commission work
is not sufficiently well along that the
dock can be moved to that location
That il may be in two months, how
ever, the members of the commission
agreed was possible. By the time river
navigation opens up in the spring, the
commission plans to have everything
ready for the packet boats to land at
the foot of Perry street BY that time,
too. Captain Henderson viii have in
stalled a new and modern ferry dock
Members of the Ievee commission and
Mayor Berwald. chairman, requested
Captain Henderson 10 submit plans for
a new dock to the levee commission be
fore he takes any steps towards erect
ing a new dock This he agreed to
do. and stated that he would probably
build one on the Davenport side SINH
lar to the one now in use in Rock Is
land.

Sunday afternoon and that is the last

that fearing detection of shortage in
