Safeguard lake of Woods
Joint Commission Proposes to
Maintain Water Level

On the boundary between the United
States and Canada, about midway be-
tween the coasts, lies the little known
Lake of the Woods, one Of the most
picturesque bodies Of water in Amer
lea and one of large economic i'm
portance TO the United States and
Canada. Because various problems per-
tanning to the lake and its level have
arisen, an international joint com.
mission was appointed some years ago,
and recently, after extensive investiga-
tions and hearings, has reported to the
two governments concerned.
This report recommends, among
other things, that certain water level
be maintained, This level is established
with due regard TO the water power
which the commission recognized as
the dominant interest Of the region.
The recommendation provide for the
utilization of this lake. and others, as
immense reservoirs for power pur-
poses.
While this will damage some farm
land it is purposed to fully compensate
those who suffer. IL is proposed also
to fully safeguard navigation and the
sheries.-Popular Mechanics.

House Holds Up
Dry Amendment
Prohibition Leaders Throw
II Out of Programme
Until December

Washington, Aug. Irrational pro-
hibition by constitutional amendment
was hung up, in the House to-day oy
the prohibition leaders themselves.
The resolution to submit the propo-
sal to tho states, passed yesterday by
the Senate, was put out Of the pro-
gramme for the present session. and
will not come up until the regular
session in December.
Plans to reconvene the Democratic
caucus and reverse its decision to con-
slider only war legislation were aban
doned because it was believed delay
ing action until the next session will
help the prohibition cause,
Representative Randall. Of Cslifor-
MIA, the only Prohibition member OF
Congress, issued statement to-day
declaring that "the friends of national
prohibition have been flimfammed by
the liquor lobby in the constitutional
amendment adopted in the Senate yes
terday." He added that "a great jolli-
fication" was held by liquor representa-
tives in Washington hotel last night,
and that we'll defined rumor had
sprung up that the six-year clause
added on Senator Harding's motion
was really written by the brewers at
torneys.
"The joker is not in the six-ysar

that this article shall be imperative

impression is that the prohibition

Of the Constitution unless so ratified.
The fact is that il will become part

the time limit, but will be imperative.
This promises long years Of litigation.

Munich Has Egg Mystery

Munich, short of beer, finds tenn
porary comfort in the excitement Of an
egg mystery, which fills columns in its
papers and usurped the whole time OF
the town council meeting, says THE
Daily Mail" of London. On common
outside the town was recently deposited
at the dead Of night pile of eggshells,
six feet high and some twenty feet
square. 1t is estimated that they were
the remains Of at least 10000 eggs. The
police theory Is that the eggs rotted in
the hands of a hoarder, who sought
thus to conceal his heinous crime. The
town council assures the people that
the mystery will be tracked to its lair.

9 Secret Service Branches
To Be Placed Under
One Head
S4s9, 900 Fund Asked
Experts Declare Appropria.
ton Inadequate in View of
Work in Hand
Nv c. w. GILBERT

Washington, Aug. "A National War
Intelligence Bureau is being created
under Secretary Baker in the War De-
partment. Henry L. Stimson. Of New
York. former Secretary Of War, Is
virtually if not nominally at the heso
of it.
There is a request from the War De-
partment in the new S5.OOO'ooo'ooo
estimate of war expenses for s4S9'Voo
for the intelligence bureau.
The new bureau is development OF
the last few days. And it is character
;stic of the trend of things here. to-
ward the concentration OF power in the
hands of the Secretary of War, that
Mr. Baker has been favored by the
President in. the placing of this highly
important organization.
When the war broke out there were
nine different secret service bureaus
in the government. Each bureau was
Jealous of all the others and each
Cabinet officer was DESTROYS, IL the war
should develop one single dominating
bureau, to have that bureau in his de-
psrtment.
Out Of this confused situation the
hest system that could be framed was
a gentlemen's agreement between all
the nine secret services TO cooperate
and as far as practicable to divide the
field smong-th them.
Put Under One Head
The President has solved the problem
By providing money from the funds
which are subject to his discretion Tor
the expansion of the War Departments
secret service bureau. In addition to
this a specific appropriation of s4S9,Ooo
is asked for in the additional war esti-
mates recently brought before Con-
gress.
The gentlemen's agreement vii lgo
on and all the rival bureaus will keep
M. But it is expected by those who
are supporting the War Department
intelligence bureau as the beginning OF
q service on such a scale as this
country's position in the war requires,
that the other bureau will bacome
mere departmental detective bureaus
of steadily decreasing Importance.
Something like this happened in Eng
land, where out of a similar situation
in one powerful bureau naval officer
was the final evolution.
The appropriation asked for is com
paratively small. Men who are "a
miliar with the scope of the work that
needs to be done feel that at least
