will have to express themselves upon IL.
Whether practical results can grow out Oh u
remains TO be seen. When one considers the
most recent expressions of the Allied states
men, and their very energetic reJecIion o.
all possibilities of peace on the part Oh inc
Washington government, 1t is unlikely
enough that serious movement toward
peace can now develop. Nevertheless .ne
step undertaken by Pope Benedict IS sign
that the wish for peace in Europe is grow
ing stronger"
hopeful view of the Vatican peace
proposal is taken by "The Dallas News"
which says:
1.-THE terms the Pope seems to have sug-
gested come much nearer to the demands OF
the Allies than any that have come Directly
out of Berlin. They not only include full
restoration of all conquered territory, which
accord with the formula Of no annexations,
hut thew make an open question of Frances
claim to Alsace-Lorraine and of Italy to
Trieste and the Trentlno.
"If Germany has in reality come to the
point of being ready to submit the future oil
Alsaoe- Lorraine to diplomatic negotiations
and Austria the point of being ready TO
cCncede some of the demands OF Italy, then
the Central Empires are in q state Oh mind
which would seem to make peace negotia-
tions in the very near future practicable
undertaking.
1.-THE st. Louis ,Post-Dispatch" writes:
There will be a general agreement among
men of right minds on the Vatieans express
sion of an ardent desire for peace, and on
several fundamental propositions which the
Pope suggests looking to the prevention o.
wars and the protection Of the rights OF ma
tons in the future. But the ardent desire
for permanent peace, without the menace
of military autocracy and its policy OF con-
quest, is an obstacle in the way OF the
Pope's proposal .

towns and villages. The news that a

his way home is a signal for the whole
town, from the main streets to the

a gorgeous display of flags and bunt-

WHY BURLEsON CARRIES

ception of a few sprinkles there has
been no rain here for something like

is experiencing the worse drought in
fifty-eight years.
When the people saw Mr. Burleson

WATERWAYS MEET
HELD At MIAMI, FLA.

MIAMI, Fla, Nov. 30.-The i'm
portance and desirability of deepening
the Hudson river to permit deep-sea
craft to ply between New York and
ALBANY. a distance of $50 miles, was
emphasized by Governor Charles s.
Whitman. of New York, in an address
before the Atlantic Deeper Waterways
Association convention here today.
Governor Whitman said that the
amount Of foreign commerce which
annually passed through Albany by
rail on its way to and from western
points, exceeded fourteen million tons,
and that upon the completion of the
new barge canal combined rail and
water facilities would more than
double this tonnage,
If some Of this foreign commerce
could be intercepted and transferred
before reaching the portof New York, -
he said. at would permit that poFt
to handle more cheaply and rapidly
the domestic commerce necessary to
reed, clothe and shelter its rapidly in
creasing population"
Reports made by federal engineers
showed, he said, that the construction
of a New York-Albany ship channel
was entirely feasible and that the cost
would be relatively small. The Hud-
son can be navigated by ocean going
vessels to within 40 miles of Albaa,
and virtually all of the dredging neces-
sary to secure a depths of q feet
could be done with hydraulic dredges,
except in few places where shale
rock is found. Ice blocks the river foi'
only brief period each year, and it
would be possible to keep the channel
open Throughout the years if the de-
Tlands of commerce warranted.
Governor Whitman reviewed the
history Of canal construction and de-
velopment in the empire state. These
canals, he said, have fioated 329,000,
000 tons of freight. Their consturc-
ton, maintenance and operation have
cost the state many millions of dol
lars, and they have returned millions
OF dollars to the state treasury in tolls
collected
Not only in the lower freight rates
hut also in respect to time saved in
transportation, the completed canal
system will be of benefit to shippers
and consumers, the governor said.
The saving in time of transit is
an economic advantage which should
not be overlooked in these times, when
dspatch is so essential in world
trade" said Mr. Whitman. From
two to five days delay is experienced
on every car of foreign commerce pass
Ing the city of Albany IN addition
T. this greater delays are experience
