DvINSK AS A PIVOTAL POINT
Thriving Russian City That Controls
River Dvina Valley, One of the
Strongest Fortified.

Dvinsk, one of Russia's strongest for
titled cities, Is described in a bulletin
issued by the National Geographic So
ciety, which says:
with a population Of 10000, in
Guiding 10000 Jews, Dvinsk is city
of prime Importance to Russia, for 1t
virtually controls the whole valley OF
the River Dvina, upon whose right
bank it is situated, no miles (135
miles by river) southeast Of Riga.
"Not only is Dvinsk important as a
strategic river point, but as thriving
railway center. 1t is the junction
point for the great arteries Of COM
merce running from Riga to Smolensk,
and from Perograd to wilma. There
Is also an important railroad to Libau.
Dvinsk is 332 miles by rail southwest
Of Petrograd.
"Dvinsk is an important agricultural
center, enjoying an extensive trade In
flax, hemp and grain. 1t Is also big
timber market, and it's tlourishing in
dustries before the war included flour
mills, breweries, match and tobacco
factories, tanneries, brick and tile
works.
Gin most encyclopedias and gazeteers
the city is listed under its Jld name,
of Dnaburg, but in 1893 the Russian
authorities officially, declared it to be
DvinSk.
During Napoleon's Russian cam
paign In 1912 Marshal Oudinot tried
In vain to capture the bridgehead at
Dvinsk, but the honor of taking the
city was reserved for Macdonald few
weeks later"

Ed Jackson, secretary of state, who
is one of the students at the United
States army officers reserve training
camp at TT. Benjamin Harrison, had
to spend one of the cool nights in the
trenches, as that is part of the train
ing given to the embryo officers, notes
the Indianapolis News. AS he emerged
from his "bunk" the next morning he
was met by one of his fellow students.
swell, how did you sleep last night?'
inquired Jackson's friend.
"In sections" gruffly replied the
state official.
"How's that?"

and then my left one; then one arm
and then another and so on. But ]

Chart for New York Harbor.

A revised chart of New York har'
Dor, on a scale of 100000, has been
issued by the United States coast and
geodetic survey. The labor involved
in bringing such chart up to date
is illustrated by the fact that in one
year there have been for this chart
253 different items. OF change, which
required .233 working days to compile
and engrave. Marked changes in the
contour of the bottom, disclosed by
recent surveys, are shown at the en-

Chinese Like Automobiles.

American automobiles are rapid
ly growing popular in China. Their
use Is limited not by the desire of the
wealthy natives to possess them, but
by the total lack of roads outside Of
few city districts. Many of the
wealthy Chinese own several motors,
and in Shanghai it is said to be diff
cult to maintain taxicab business be-
cause the natives charter all the cars.
The Chinese have also established sew
eral motor driven bus lines. Chinese
chauffeurs are said to be the coolest
and steadiest drivers in the world, but
poor mechanics.

Leopard Ship of the Sea.

Fooling the enemy is remunera-
tive and interesting pastime with the
allies, says Popular Science Monthly.
They have their camoufiage on land :
now comes the camoufiage of the sea.
A ship is painted with spots which
fade out into a glittering and SHIN
mering haze in the sunlight. A SUBJ
marine commander one or two miles
distant might look straight at the ship
and never see her.
The spots are of light gray and navy
blue, which, even on a sunless day.
blend with the waves of the ocean.
The indistinct outline which this gives
makes the ship poor target.

amendment Refused.

The House sent the agricultural ap-
priation bill back to conference and
refused to accept the Smoot amend
ment regarding clerks pay. Until
the House shall change its attitude
the conferees are bound to affect
two propositions or to stand out for
the original House plan of a 10 per
cent increase for all employees getting
81 200 a year and a five per cent
raise for employees receiving from
81 200 to 81 500 inclusive. The House
vote was 1s9 to ia against the Smoot
amendment.
Congressman Mann, the Republican
floor leader, said the Senate was
'bluffing" when it threatened to tie
up the appropriation bills, because
of the clerks rider. The dignity OF
the House, he said, was involved ana
there should be no "abject sur
render" An extra session, he add
ed, had meyer resulted because of
such threats.

''Now, gentlemen, do not know

different appropriation bills on the
part of the House should put any
faith in what the conferees on the
part of the Senate say, but they tell
the House that the Senate conferees
say they will never yield-that they
will force an extra session first, and
that the Senate will stand by them.
do not know whether the gentleman
from Illinois should put any faith in
what Republican conferees say about
this-he knows better than he may
know that they are not telling the
truth when they say 1t.
They haven't said it," interrupted
Mr.. Mann.
They say they will not agree to
any conference repoI with the House
increases on these bills in it." said
