THE ST. LAWRENCE BASIN
Great International River and Tributa-
ries Studied and Measured by United
States Geological Survey.

] The st. Lawrence river system is in
ternational, and new questions arise al
most every year with respect to the prop
er division of authority over and the use
of this great source of water. A report
recently issued by the United States geo.
logical survey, department of the inte-
rior, entitled, Surface Water Supply of
St. Lawrence River Basin, l9l4' (water
supply paper 3s4), by w. G. Hoyt, A. H.
Horton, c. C. Covert and C. H. Pierce,
gives the results of measurements of
stream flow made in the st. Lawrence
river basin during the year 1914. The
rivers emptying into the St Lawrence by
way of Lake Champlain and the Richie
lieu in New York and Vermont.
The diversion of water for the develop.
ment of power at Niagara has aroused
the attention of both the countries in
terested, and another question quite as
important is that of the propriety of per-
hitting the city of Chicago to divert |
large volumes of water from Lake Mich |
igan through its drainage canal into H. |
linois river. The prospective decrease in
the depth of navigable waterways, es-
pecially those between Lakes Michigan
and Huron and between Lakes Huron
and Erie, has caused protests to be made
by the Canadian authorities.
These two questions illustrate the i'm
portance of determining accurately the

How to Store Vegetables.

In an article on gardening in the Sep
TENDER Womans Home Companion,
writer says:
"The ideal storage place for vegetables
that grow under the ground is an under
ground room, without heat, that will not
freeze, otherwise cold cellar The tenn
perature must be between 80 and 80 de-
grees Fahrenheit; that is. from Just
above freezing to what is technically
known as cold; and if it can be main
tanned at one point evenly, so much the
better. All the root crops except salsi-
fly, stored in boxes into which they
have been packed in alternate layers
with dry earth or sand, in such a cellar,
will come out next spring as fresh as
the day they went in.
Satisfy and parsnips require freezing
to bring them to proper flavor; and so it
is better to leave these two vegetables
in the ground, digging direct from the
garden as weather permits. If the Sc
verify of the winter makes such oppor-
tunities too rare, leave them out until
they have frozen up once, then dig part
of the crop and store in sand, as directed
above. The balance will be all right for
early spring use direct from the garden"

PROOF OF GERMAN
PLOT AGAINST u. S.
Secretary of State Lansing Says That
the Kaiser Planned to Strike
America.

| Washington, Aug 2s.-Evidence which
made officials of the United States gov.
eminent believe that Germany planned
to make war on the United States after
cleaning up" France and England is in
the hands of the administration, it was
admitted at the state department yester-
day.
Secretary Lansing refused TO say what
the evidence was. He merely confirmed
the statement of Lord Robert Cecil that
Germany had so plotted.
II is believed, however, that the evi.
dence tending to show Germany's war
plans against the United States was
brought here by James Gerard on his re-
turn from his post as ambassador to
Germany Mr. Gerard himself has fire.
quently said that the Germans had their
eyes on this country, and Lord Robert
Cecil said there was proof of this.
Vast amounts of data showing the net
of intrigue woven about America by the
kaiser's agents are filed away at the
state department. OF the clumsy at
tempt by Foreign Secretary thinner
mann to bring about union of Mexico
and Japan against this country the world
is now informed. This and other auto
cratic dreams showed the trend of the
German mind. They also afforded Presi-
dent Wilson the opportunity he will soon
take of showing why America cannot
deal on friendly terms with Germany so
long as the kaiser reigns.

TO SAFEGUARD
MARRIED MEN
Fight Is on in Congress to

Rights

THEIR CAUSE
Senator Lewis Also Thinks
Injustice May Be
Done

Washington, Aug. ga new fight is
pending in Congress to preserve the
rights of married men under the draft
Fearful lest the soldiers insurance bill
will be regarded as sufficient grounds
for multiplying dependency claims from
the head of household, amendments
will be offered clearly to define this
point.
The provost marshal generals Office
holds that there is no ground for the
exemption of married men except de-
pendents If law providing for the
dependents, both before and after the
death of the man supporting them is
passed, the claim for exemption would
be weakened
How far the government proposes to
go on this point Congress wants to know.
1--WE must safeguard the married man
under this BILL" Senator Weeks said
yesterday. "The danger is very great
that tremendous injustice will be done,
if the act is construed as it is by the
provost marshal generals Office"
Senator Lewis said: "The measure
must be made to say exactly what it
means. 1t certainly is not intended to
mean that married men with dependents
shall be forced into the drafted army"
This point promises to be the only
one upon which any great fire will center
when Congress takes up the bill Sena

Vacation Packing.

The Irish World in recent issue give.
many good points to be observed in va
cation packing and speaks thus:
When you are ready to start yom
packing, gather everything into one room
and put as many things within reach Of
the trunk AS possible.
This will save time and trouble.
Instead of having to stop in the mid
die of your work TO look around for a
dress or waist and finally, remembering
that it is in an outer closet, where you
must go to get it, you keep right on
steadily packing.
Once you have begun, take up one ar.
ticIe after another within your reach in
its turn and pack it Systematically.
Another bit of advice which it would
be wise to follow before you begin ac
tually putting your clothes in the trunk
is this:
Have the trays on chairs or the bu-
reau, so that they are raised enough to
keep you from leaning over to reach
them.
Pack them fully before putting them
back in the trunk
Have the trunk itself raised on two
boxes if possible, so that it will not ne
cessitate your bending way down to reach
its bottom
If you will try these few things you
will find much of the back and muscle
strain usually attendant on packing prac-
tically eliminated.
When you have all your clothes with
in reach, your trunk and its trays raised
to a comfortable height, and plenty of
tissue paper near at hand, you are ready
to begin the actual work.
A good way to prevent your clothes
from wrinkling on the trip is to spread a
small sheet over the bottom and sides of |
your trunk, fastening it-fat to the sides |
with short thumb tacks.
This protects your froeks from any
dirt or dust that might filter through the
bottom or sides. 1t acts like lining
Place all your heavy clothing at the
bottom, your lighter apparel on top.
1t is rather a good idea to keep the
middle tray for evening dresses and the
Top tray for underwear or waists.
Pack tightly So many women have
he mistaken idea that tight packing will
press wrinkles into their clothes.
1t is loose packing which causes wrin
lles and tight packing, if carefully done,
prevents your clothes from moving about
nd being mussed.

The Norwich university military train

after very successful period of instruc
ton. Had the decision TO conduct a train
ing course been reached at an earlier
date, the attendance, undoubtedly, would
have been much larger. In view. of the
fact that there was no certainty until

A GREAT STATE PAPER

TIME more closely President Will
sons war message is studied the
more one is impressed with its
logic and force. Colonel Roosevelt
pronounces it one of the great State
papers of our history, and few will
disagree. 1t is a masterful presenta-
tion of the American viewpoint in the
present crisis and of American Ideals
and aspirations. 1t admits of no argu-
ment; it is beyond dispute. 1t is a
platform upon which not alone all
Americans but the friends of free gov
ernment throughout the whole world
can stand-must stand. indeed, IL they
are true to their doctrines and have
the courage of their convictions.
The President expresses a sharply
drawn distinction between the Ger
man people and the German govern
ment. In this he strikes a popular
chord. For the Germans as a people,
as We knew them in times of peace and
by association with those recently
come to this country, Americans have
always entertained the highest regard
and respect. But the German form
of government always has been and
always will be abhorrent to freedom
loving people. 1t is diametrically op-
posed to all the principles of democ-
racy.
The President expresses himself so
clearly on this point that the effect
upon the war-weary German mind
could not be other than good il the
message as whole is permitted to
pass the censorship in Berlin. Follow
ing so closely upon the over-turn in
Russia and repeated urging for a
more liberal form of government in
Germany it could not but give a STIR
