L0wer Danube, Was
Center, Most IMPORTANT

Washington, D. c., Dec. 29.-At this
time when the Central Powers seem
to be stralnlng every nerve to control
the lower Danube, and thus make that
river from it's source to it's mouth a
bearer of their war munitions and
trade, the following bulletin prepared
by the National Geographic society,
with headquarters at Washington, is
of striking interest:
THE scenic glories of the Danube
are chiefly to be seen along the upper
reaches Of the river; but the broad
highway Of the lower reaches is at
present of more interest, for the traf-
fic it carries may be a factor in the
conflict of European nations. Mean
while, the river is weaving itself into
the present day history of it's contin-
ent as it has woven itself into the
events Of two thousand years past.
''Below Giurgevo and Rutschuk the
Danube widens to about three miles
from bank to bank. Giurgevo, a point
of great strategic importance, is &C
cessible by river steamers at high wa
ter and has an auxiliary port about
two miles further down stream.
The lower Danube has a very
slight fall, only 100 feet in the last
500 miles of its length, but because
of the great colume of water, in
creased as 1t goes on by the Alt, the
Argesch, the Jalomitza, the Sereth,
and the Pruth. as we'll as smaller
streams, it flows with great force. The
Bulgarian banks are high; the Rou-
manian shore is low and fiat and often
OverfOwed. The one-sided arrange
ment of alluvial deposits which re
suits has led to the formation of many
swamps and swampy island on the
.Roumanian side, which provide the
chief chara cteristics of the scenery.
The Balta islands are the two largest
formations. They are really vast fens
overgrown with willows and reeds,
abundant with wild birds and half
wild swine, and cut in every direction
by little streams.
'6ilistria, the fortress of the Dan
ube' since Roman times, though Of
less military Importance today when
Galatz is the next place of striking
interest below Rutschuk. A Roman
relic, Trajan's Wall, may be seen from
the river below Silistria, and forty
miles from that city there is a rail-
road bridge over two and a half miles
long and the only one below Belgrade,
connecting Bucharest and the Black
sea part ot1$sSsSsosHtstanza. Ihls is one or
the most remarkable amples Of its
kind OF engineering and was built at
a cost of. s7,0Oo,oOo. It has sixty
eight spans, one Of which, over the
main stream, Is a cantilever more
than 500 feet long. The bridge has a
height of 120 feet above low water,
and the piers go down to bed rock
100 feet below the water surface.
making them nearly one-half as high
as the Washington monument

j. 5. CITIZENS ARE
LIABLE TO SERVICE
May Be Required to Join National
Guard in War Time

! Washington, Dec. 29.-Every able
! bodied man citizen of the United
States between Is and as is held liable
| for service in the National Guard in
| war time, without further act of con-
| gress by war department regulations
/ for the government of the guard, is
sued under the national defence act.
In circular prepared nearly two
months ago the militia bureau directs
that where a National Guard regime nt
is called out for war service a reserve
training battalion to fill vacancies at
the front shall be organized out of
the National Guard reserve and by
voluntary enlistment.
IF for any reason" the order con-
tinues, there shall not be enough
reservists or enough voluntary en-
lstments to organize or to keep the
reserve battaHons at prescribed
strength, a sufficient number of the
unorganized militia shall be drafted
by the president to maintain such
battalion or other lesser reserve unit
at the prescribed strength"
The language follows closely that
of the national defense act, in which
the unorganized militia is defined as
included every able bodied male citiz
zen within the prescribed age limit
or those who have declared their in
tention of becoming citizens.
The National Guard regulations,
which will be amplifed in great de-
tail later, also strike at the problem
of dependent families of soldiers,
which has cost the government sew
eral millions of dollars through the
border mobilization. Recruiting Off
GERS for the National Guard are di-
rected to discourage the enlistment
Of married men or those with others
dependent on them Such persons
are to be accepted only for reasons in
the public interest, men who wish to
become officers being the only class
specifically excepted.
1t Is provided in the regulations that
no officer Of the guard hereafter shall
be recognized as such under the de-
fence act unless he shall have sub
scr1bed to an oath binding him to
obey the orders of the president and
of the governor Of his state.
Appointments will be made on rec
ommendation to the secretary of war
from governors or the commanding
officers of state or territorial units of
the guard and after proper physical
and mental examination by boards of
officers. Promotions will be handled
in the same way and any officer who
fails in the examination as to his pro-
fessional ability cannot come up for
determination within a year.
After three years active service. or
when the organizations are. disbanded,
National Guard officers may pass into
the National Guard reserve
The reserve is to remain an unor-
gapized body in peace times except
New Britain herald., 1916-12-29

H1rsOVe and Gura-Jamo litza are
the next places Of Importance, both
fortified. The river at Htrsova broad
ems like a sea with many islands. The
town with its fortified castle is pref
tily situated on a hilltop above the
surrounding flats.
THE more important of the rivers
ports are next approached. Braila,
unlovely and monotonous Of aspect, Is
however, the chief Roumanian port OF
entry, before the war q town of over
$4,000 inhabitants and a center of the
grain and timber trades. Between
Braila and Galatz are the ruins of an
ancient bridge said to have been
built by Darius the Great.
THE latter city, about ten miles
below Braila, is very thriving port
in peace times. Vessels of 1000 tons
can come up the river to this point.
Between Galatz and the confluence
with the Pruth the Danube makes it's
turn to the east. Here begins sec
ton Of the river which even COM
plete success of the Central Powers in
Wallachia and Dobrudja will not
place in their control, for on it's left
bank lies Bessarabia, Russian terri
tory.
can interesting feature of the Rus
sian side here are the ends of long
lakes which run north and south.
These were once streams which flowed
down into the Danube but were grad
ually barred by alluvial banks from
reaching the river and, driven back on
their own courses have widened into
long narrow lakes.
Sixty miles from the sea begins the
delta Of the Danube. The Kilia, the
most northern of the branches into
which the river divides, carries more
than two-thirds of the volume of it's
water to the sea, but it is not deep
enough for the more important traffic,
which moves by the more direct
branch through the middle Of the del
ia to Sulina. Here a natural channel
of seven to eleven feet has been in
creased to twenty, and long dikes
stretch out to sea and carry off the
silt. Although it discharges less than
seven per cent. Of the Danube's wa
ter's, the Sulina channel carries a
shipping which multiplied tenfold be-
tween 1861 and 1902. 1t was steadily
increasing with a promise Of future
prosperity when the war interfered.
The Danube Steam Navigation COM
pany was reporting two million TONS
a year previous to 1914
For nearly one hundred miles
from Sulina up to Galatz and Braila,
the chief harbors for a-going vessels
the river is navigable for 1000 or less.
Sea-going vessels up to 500 tons and
fiat barges under 1000 capacity can
go to Turnu SEVERN. Above that
point, navigation is confined to steam
ers, tugs and barges drawing six feet
Of water"

Horatio is no more. Some time the
other night Horatio died a most un-
usual death, tragic climax to re-
markable life.
HoratiO was a pet sucker which,
by being able to live out Of water, had
baffled the world Of science for six
months.
s. H. Masters one day found the fish
Topping in the mud in the Oakland
estuary, put it in a can Of water and
brought it home. Masters perform ed
one Of the scientific wonders of the

By keeping a constant temperature
and removing a ni1limeter Of water
each day from FIoratio's pool IN the
back yard of the Masters home Mas
ters eventually got the sucker to
breathe the atmosphere.
The fish was kept in a cage in the
back yard, but, due to the cold one
night, Masters brought Horatio into
the kitchen. Near the kitchen sink
was a bucket of salt water. While
cavorting about the kitchen at night
Horatio found the water He heard
the call of the wild and plunged into
the bucket, where he was found the

Simple Ruse Reforms Husband.
Cincinnati Enquirer).

He had been married about a year
and had taken to spending his eve
nings downtown with the boys. One
night his conscience worried him and
he thought he would phone his wife
and get her to come down and meet
him and have dinner with him. So
he called her up.
Hello, kid" he began. "Say, slip
on some old clothes and run down
and meet me on the quiet. Well
have a good dinner and then We'll get
a machine and go out and smear
little red paint around. How about
it?'
It'll be delighted to join you, Jack"
was the reply. But why not come
up to the house and get me? There's
nobody home"
AS the young husbands name is
Tom, he spends his evenings at home
now.
And his wife wears a queer smile
when he isn't looking at her.

FAMILY LAWYER is EXTINCT.
Specialization" Has Eliminated
Famous Old Character.

(NeW York Correspondence to the
Pittsburgh Dispatch)
The old-fashioned lawyer-the
family lawyer, who was guide, phil
osopher and friend. who had charge
of the family estate, presided over
all testaments and documents, was
asked for advice about investments,
consulted bout the school and the
college to which the boys or girl
should be started on his career, was
looked to by anxious parents for
grave opinion as to the moral. fin
anoial and social status of the young
man who had sought the hand of the
daughter of the house. was the hon
ored guest at all family functions
does not exist in New York any more.
He has become extinct like the
dodo. The pressure of business duties
and the increasing hustle and hustle
of legal life have crowded out his
social functions. 1t is now the func-
ton Of the lawyer to keep his client
out instead of getting him out of
court.
There is also considerable tendency
toward specializing and consolida-
ton. Four or five lawyers take
suite of offices together and enter
into a sort OF partnership. one Spe-
cializes on torts, another on contract
cases, another on constitutional cases,
carriers, corporations and other
branches. Another case of Especial
ization" Is the "business getting" law
yer who knows practically no law in
obtaining clients. He belongs to clubs
and fraternities, travels a great deal
and is seen little In the office. He Is,
first of all, what is called a good
MIXER In several firms the bus
mess getting" lawyer knows prac-
tica1ly no law and simply makes a
success on his manners He does
none Of the real legal work. After
the client is obtained, "the business
getter," after putting in some general
questions about the case, remarks:
It'll turn you over to our Mr.
Blank, who attends to many of the
details for me-
Mr.. Blank, of course, will handle
the case. and the business getter"
will not bother his head any further
about it.
