PLAN SHIP CANAL
ACROSS SCOTLAND

Glasgow, July 12.-Plans for cut
ting a ship canal across Scotland,
connecting the North Sea and the
Atlantic by a voyage of only sixty
odd miles, are advocated owing to
the war and the growing importance
of the British naval base at Rospth
Naval men expect that work on such
canal will be begun as soon as the
war is over, and that the work can
be completed within three years.
The value of a canal by which the
largest warships could pass at will
between the North Sea and the At
lantic needs no demonstration. The
commercial possibilities of such a
canal are also large, for it would eff
feet an astonishing reduction in dis
lance between certain important
ports, as we'll as avoid the dangerous
passage north of Scotland and the
congested English Channel route on
the south.
The canal would reduce the dis
lance from Glasgow to Leith by 485
miles, from Glasgow to London by
253 miles and from Gesgow to Ham
burg by 312 miles. The saving be-
tween Liverpool and Leith would be
400 miles, between Leith and Belfast
377 miles, between Liverpool and the
Elbe 268 miles, between Glasgow and
Anwerp 200 miles.
Two rival routes for the canal are
being discussed. One would follow
an existing barge canal, involving the
deepening of the upper Clyde. the
crossing of plateau with an indiffer-
ent water SUPPLY, and the construc-
ton of six locks on each side. Advo-
Gates of this route point to the adj
vantages of the canal passing
through Glasgow; opponents point
out the tidal difficulties or the upper
Clyde and say that the river is al
ready badly congested.

The Isis Theatre guarantees one

Fox's "Patsy," on Sunday.
"Patsy," is filled with more sun
shine and happiness than any picture

with more sunshine and happiness
than any picture play in which the
Sunshine Maid" has yet appeared.
It is also crowded with more thrills
and adventure.
The story of Patsy" opens in a
little western town just as Patsy
Prim, the role played by Miss Cap
rice, starts for New York to meet
Richard Hewitt, an old friend of her
father. But since Mr.. Hewitt had
died few years before, the letter is
received by Dick Hewitt, a fast living
young sport.
Dick undergoes a great change on
meeting Patsy who makes her home
in his bachelor apartments. He longs
to wed the wild and innocent girl and
settle down. A tangle affair he has
had with an adventures interferes
for a time but the woman is finally
exposed and Dick and Patsy marry

SAYS CELLMATE SLEW UNCLE
Man in Danville Jail Accuses Eel
low-PrisOner of Murder.

Danville. Va, May 21.-What m2y
prove the first clue to a murder mys-
terry seven years old was revealed
Saturday in the city jail when Jessie
Bond, of Scheduled, who was locked
up for fraud, identified the man who
occupied the same cell as the slayer
of his uncle, Rube Bond, in Wytne
county.
James Harrison, of Greensboro \.
c., was convicted of fraud two weeks
ago and sent to Jail here. Bond also
was arrested for fraud in Scheduled
and was brought to the Danville
jail to be held pending trial. He was
put in the same cell with Harrison
who is man over so years old. Bond
sent for the jailer Saturday and told
the officer that Harrison killed ms
uncle seven years ago. The sheriff
of Wythe county was communicates
with and he wired back to mold Har-
risen until he can send man 10
identify him.

lies, most of US feel that it would be
a pity not to utilize in some way Mr..
Roosevelt's inspiring enthusiasm,
exuberant vitality and great popu-
larity. He is not one of the men
who also serve by merely standing
and waiting. The Colonel was not
built for, that sort of patient and
exemplary service, and we should
think there might be some field N
which his dynamic personal force
could be employed to advantage.
If nothing will satisfy him but
the firing line, it is not impossible
that he may get there after all.
Where there's will there's a way.
The regular army is looking for
volunteers, and if Mr.. Roosevelt can
pass the physical examination, pos
sibly his age might be overlooked
and he might be allowed to serve as
an enlisted man. He would be the
most distinguished private that ever
followed the flag, and we have a
notion that in a short time he would
win a commission. But Private
Roosevelt would be in. some respects
more glorious title than Genera!

THE CASE OF COL. ROOSEVELT

While probably the great major
ity in the United States approve of
Presidents Wilson action in deciin-
ing Colonel Roosevelt's offer to raise
an army to act with the allies in
France. it is generally admitted that
much is being said in the way of
censure Of the Colonel which is I'M
called for. Senator Stone made an
onslaught upon the former President
last week. challenging his record as
a soldier during the Spanish-Ameri-
can war. If his command was saved
from annihiliation by other United
States troops. the fact that he was
at San Juan Hill is undisputed. He
was risking his life under the Stars
and Stripes.
We affirm the action of Mr.. Wilson
in declining Colonel Roosevelt's Of
fer, being satisfied tina. he acted
properly.
A contemporary in speaking of the
case of Colonel Roosevelt, says:
However. thoroughly; we may: agree
with the Presidents decision that
the Roosevelt expedition would not
be helpful to ourselves or to cur al

GERMANY'S ROPE OF SAND.

AS time goes on the gigantic plot
of the Kaiser to form an universal
trust of this world is becoming more
and more apparent. 1t was not only
his intention to incorporate all Eu-
rope in his vast combination, but
the western hemisphere also. The
plots discovered in the new world
show the aims of the Teutons, while
their operations in Europe and Asia
in less than three years show they
are still holding tenaciously to their
ideals.
But there is every reason to be-
lieve that they have constructed a
rope of sand which is gradually
being obliterated by the rising tide
of democracy
The Kaiser and his ministers are
straining every nerve to keep their
allies in the ranks. Italy soon mani
IeSLeu q UISposICipil W ulpP otb, anu
Austria-Hungary is kicking in the
traces while Turkey is still the sick
man of Europe.
The proposal of Germany to allot
a portion of Alsace-Lorraine to Ba-
varia is known to be a sop in order
to strengthen relations between Ber
lin and the King of Bavaria.
The schemes for the subiugation
of the western hemisphere have
miscarried The attempts to cause
trouble to the United States in
Mexico, Cuba and South American
nations has rather augmented the
determination of those countries to
cast their lot with the United States.
Cuba is now ready to send soldiers
to France to fight with the allies.
The latest expose of German meth
DDS is their attempt to bring about
trouble in Costa Rca. This is des-
tined to end as others on this side of
the world.
