Gently made to France when German
subjects were taken off American
vessels by the French cruiser Des-

The German subjects on the China

them because they might eventually try
to get to Germany. Whatever they may
do later on does not concern their

to make any such move as they have
made is when they are actually found
headed for a German port and not
when they are coming to this coun-
try. England's contention is unreal
sonable in view Of its previous stand.

LARGEST RIVER IN
WESTERN ASIA.
Euphrates Lays Strong Claim To Be-
ing Most Historic on Earth.
Especial to The Bulletin


Washington, D. c., March 13.-- The
Euphrates is the largest river in
Western Asia, and civilization Is re-
puted to have come into being upon
it's banks. For six thousands years at
least empires have risen and fallen on
its plain, conquering armies have
marched to battle, and hundred CT
ties have come up out OF the earth and
fallen into oOHterate ruin again.
Describing this great river as It
runs its seaward course today. the
National Geographic Society, whose
a statement given to the press today:
The Euphrates lays n strong claim
to the honor OF being the most his
tOric river on earth, and certain II is
that in the region it drains. along with
its twin sister, the Tigris, man first
cmerges from behind that impenetra-
BILE curtain which divides the known
from the unknown past
From then henceforth civilization
risen and fallen, nations have come
raised their proud heads above the
plain only to pass on into obliterate
ruin.
The Euphrates rises in two arms,
flowing parallel to one another on the
north side of Taurus Mountain mar
row valleys into which pour innum-
cradle small streams from the high
Armenian plateau. The northernmost
of the two branches is the shortest,
but II is generally regarded as the
real source of the river. II lies TO
the north OF Erezum, while the longer
branch passes it to the south.
The two branches are divided by
the wild mountain district of Dersim.
After uniting, they form the Eu-
pirates proper. which boldly breaks
it's way through the mountains by a
ZiSsaS course that carries II now to the
riZA1 and the left Nnw IL
flows for 80 miles at right angles to it's
general course, then go miles parallel
to 1t, and then $50 miles at right an
giles again. as though it were headed
for the Mediterranean Sea Then II
winds to the South for eighty miles.
Here it takes up its general tread
to the southeast and with innumerable
sharp windings and bends, but with
only a few broad curves, II heads its
way to the sea The air line distance
of the remotest spring of the Euphrates
from the sea is only 500 miles, and yet
its waters must travel 1900 before
they reach the sea
In the last 1900 miles of its couTNe
the Euphrates is slow and sluggish
wandering all over the land when II
has oportunity. making that which II
touches a marsh and that which II
cannot reach n desert.
Its fall during the last 1900 miles Is
only 10 inches to the mile and fl
broadens out so much that while #
contains enough water to float the
greatest battleship, 1t is so shallow
| that at places a swimmer cannot float
| in il.
The river promises to rise this year
at time exactly suited to the needs OF
the armies fighting on its banks.
TT is beginning its annual rise this
month, and will reach its maximum In
May. When at it's food stage II is
Manageable, and can play an important
part in military operations.

LACK OF PREPARATION.

Just what lack of preparedness
means is revealed by the situation on
the Mexican border at the present
time The troops of this country
have been there for many months.
There have been constant threats up
on the part Of Villa to invade Uncle
Sans territory and carry out just
such a raid as has taken place at Co
lumbus. That these were not idle
tales is shown by the manner in which
the rights of this country have been
repeatedly disregarded there. 1t was
because of this attitude that it be-
came niece ssary to patrol the border,
and yet low that the promises have
been fulfilled and the lives of men
and women of the New Mexican
town, as Wen as those of a number of
soldiers, have been taken, there Is
not possessed the equipment which
would permit of an immediate pursuit
of the bandits, at a time when such
would be the most effective.
There can be no question but what
General Funston is right in declaring
that it would be folly to send a force
into Mexico without making the nee
essary preparations. He has dealt
with just such conditions and knows
what he IS talking about. He knows
what is needed to run down and cap
ture those who have terrorized the
towns along the southern border, but
it appears to be most unfortunate that
these very, preparations were not
made in advance so that everything
would have been ready for the imme-
diate continuance of that pursuit
which was so admirably started by
Colonel Slocum. 1t is a lesson in the
lack of preparedness which is partic-
ularly striking at this time and which
cannot be overlooked. and in the
meantime, those who are sought are
getting an advantage of which they
are going to take full benefit

THE WAR PRIMER
By National Geographic Society

The keIek-All kinds of ships of
ships of war and of commerce have
been pressed into service in the great
European confiice. There are over
sea boats, on-the-water boats and
under-sea boats; there are super
dreadnaughts. battle cruisers, and dis
guised commerce raiders; there are
great ocean greyhounds that yester-
day were floating palaces of the ocean,
carrying the wealth and beauty of
civilization on their migrations across
the sea, but that today are grim ha-
vens of suffering where the wall of
pain and the shrek of anguish have
substituted the carnival of music anr
the sound of mirth.
But the strangest Of all the kinds
of floating equipment that the war has
drafted into service is the kelek- De-
scribing this strange boat, the Nation
al Geographic society, with head
quarters here, says:
The kelek is probably one of the
earliest forms of water transportation
used by our ancestors in Asia 1t con-
sists of goatskins inflated with air,
tied beneath a framework Of light
poles. Often as many as eight hun
bred such skins are used to give the
boat the desired buoyance.
"The cargo is loaded on to the ke-
lex just as though it were a fiat bot
toned barge. after which the craft
begins it's journey down the Tigris or
the Euphrates propelled or guided by
oars. When it reaches its journey S
end it is broken up and sold as skins
and timber.

anna are very crooked and very ir-
regular in their depths. The all
lines distance between Diarbelxir and
Bagdad is four hundred miles, while
the water route via. the Tigris is
about one thousand miles.

THE GREAT BASIN.
A Remarkable Region of Desert, Min
eraI Development, and Irrigated
Gases.

Continental surfaces, as a general
rule. are drained by streams flowing
to the ocean, but there are some ex-
ceptisnal areas which have no out
ward drainage The Great Basin is
such an area 1t was so named by
Fremont, who was the first to gain an
adequate conception of its character
and extent. II lies near the western
margin Of the continent and is sur
rounded by the headwater divides Of
rivers tributary to the Pacific Ocean.
Roughly, the Great Basin is bounded
by the Rocky Mountains on the east
and by the Sierra Nevada on the west
1t extends from Oregon on the north TO
and beyond the Mexican boundary but
is limited by the drainage system of
Colorado River on the southeast Ii
contains zoo, GOO square miles, an area
about equal to that OF France.
The Great Basin Is a region Of di-
versified surface features, including
fiat desert valleys and rugged noun
tain ranges with many lofty peaks. II
is not, as the name might suggest, a
single pan-Shaped depression, gather
ing its waters TO a common ce7ter. but
is divided into a large number Of in
dependent drainage areas.
Arid plains are abundant in this to
gion, and some are 50 extensive that
they apear almost bOundless- The
climate OF the region is very dry, the
average annual rainfall varying from
10 or IL inches in northern Nevada TO
less than 8 inches in the south and

RALKs AT OWN RULING,

It was a half century ago that the
Trent affair took its place in internal
ttional legal tangles, but that was not
80 far back that it ought not to be
fresh in the minds of those in Great
Britain who handle such matters, yet
Il appears to be entirely forgotten in
giving consideration to the removal
of German passengers from the
American steamship China in Asiatic
waters. a
When this country removed the two
confederate commissioners from the
British steamer Trent, it was done
under the belief that they had the
right to do so, but England viewed it
otherwise and pointed out that they
were under the protection Of the Brit
fish flag going from one neutral port
to another, and that they must be
released. The claim Of Great Britain
Sss% upheld and since that time it has

BRINGING PEACE TO EUROPE

E Many suggestions are made as to
5Vfflat this country should do for the
bringing about of peace across the
awater. 1t has always been felt that
The United States as one of the lead
ing neutral nations would be looked
TO % put through the negotiations
when the time for such proceedings
comes, but there are those who con-
slider. that it should take the initta-
tive.
Among this number is Prof. Kuno
Francke, wh0 is convinced that this
country should offer to submit peace
proposals on behalf of Germany to
the effect that it would restore Bel
GUM and northern France, and on
behalf Of the other nations as to what
they would accept or give up, all of
which sounds well, but what assur-
ance has this government that any
thing Of the kind would be accountable
TO those in whose behalf they are
acting?
~ 1t cannot tell the allies that they
have been beaten and that they should
stop fighting on terms which it con-
siderS fair. Neither can it suggest to
Germany that it is headed for the
1ownfall of the empire and that it is
the wiseSt thing for it to do to get
wut of the struggle under the best
terms that can be arranged. The
United States has not been appointed
Judge in this matter and any sugges-
lions which might be advanced along
that line would be quickly inter-
preted as unwarranted meddling.
! 4 This country has clearly defined its
! position. 1t is ready at any time ia
| do what It can to bring about peace
| In Europe. That was made plain soon
after the war opened and has since
been repeated but until it is asked
by one or more Of those involved to
make some such move as suggested by
Prof Franclke, it is bound to sit tight
and await any requests which the
belligerents are inclined to make
There is nothing else for it to do.
