LEHIGH MUST GIVE
 UP ITS STEAMSHIPS
Supreme Court Gives Decision
 Under Panama Canal Act

Washington, March 26.--In the first case brought under the Panama canal act, requiring railroads to dis pose of their steamship interests. the supreme court today decided that the Lehigh Valley railroad must relin- quish it's Great. Lakes steamship transportation. operating vessels be- tween Buffalo and Chicago and Mill waukee.
 The Lehigh Valley was the first rail- road to appeal to the supreme court from Interstate Commerce commits sion orders, made under the Panama Canal Act of 1912 providing for dis solution of competing rail and water carriers. This law requires may rail- roads to dispose of their steamship in- terests
 Since 1881 the Lehigh Valley rail- road has operated steamers on the Great Lakes. between Buffalo, the Western terminus of its railroad line, and Chicago and Milwaukee. It's steamers were operated through the Lehigh Valley Transportation com rany, New Jersey corporation owned by the railroad.
 The railroad, the Interstate Com IuSIC0 rOOIlUllSO1OA 1VuuOs COMRStSu for trafnc with it's steamship line. That the steamships were supplement tary extensions, or "feeders'' of it's rail facilities was contended by the railroad, which insisted it's rail lines do not and cannot compete for west ern tranic with the steamships.
 <. After passage of the act, the Le- high Valley and other railroads peti- toned the commission for permission to retain their steamship lines. On May '. 1915, the commission denied the petitions, including those of the Lehigh Valley, Pennsylvania, New York Central. Rutland, Erie, Grand Trunk, Lackawanna and others. The order required the Lehigh Valley and the others, to dispose of their steam ship interests. The act provided 2 penalty of $5.00O a day for not obey ing the commissions orders but pro- wded the roads might retain the steamships if the commission certi- fed that. such ownership was ne- cessity or convenience to the pub- lie.

THE EAST. AND THE WEST.

Washington is worried over the att titude of the West,-at least that portion of the country nov known as the Middle West. In tho East the
 people are fully alive to the dangers that beset them. Living on the border of the Atlantic the .folk of the New England. States and the Atlantic Coast States realize what might happen in the event the United States went to war with any foreign power capable of sending it's ships across the waters That question put aside. there is also, the dangers here attend ant upon the manufacture of muni-s tions As Gevernor IIolcomb has put it: This is the arsenal of the nation." Connecticut alone makes more than fifty per cent of the munitions of war manufactured in this country.
 j; Out West, or, in the Middle West, things are different. The people there give their time and attention to the pursuit of industries coupled with the absolute necessaries of life. except. in extreme cases where luxuries play. "a part. They have been born and bred in the very soul of the nation, nurtured and cared for away from harm. There is no mighty roar of the ocean in their ears. There is nothing to remind them that some day, some time. something may break in upon their easy isolation and bring death and disaster to the land. The men who live inland are never aftuned to the storms that beat upon the .shores of the coast. The apathy there is in some degree reasonable.
 In the days ahead. however, there must come a sweeping change over the situation. The West, or more properlsthe Middle West must soon .seco1le aware Of 6the condition that exists The calling out of the Na- tionaL Guard regimsntS in some Of those states is the first step of I awakening. The presence of men inSl uniform on the streets Of tho middle. 1 western cities will be symboaic enough to bestir the people The East is practically prepared for the crisis. The West will sradsally swing into line.s Public opinion. the commahding .of1cer of the American people, will play the role of minister in wedding the two great portions of 1 the country in the one big dea.-Pre-s paredness for any Eventuality.
