HARNESS THE STREAMS.
Water Power is Running to Waste in
United States.

Of the 60,700, 0,000-horse power Of
water power in the United States, all
but $500, 0,000-horse power is running
to waste, writes Thomas F. Logan,
in Leslie's. The water is at pres
ent locked up against utilization by
the laws governing the forest re-
serves, the general public domain and
the navigable streams. Congressmen
have not hesitated to advocate higher
rates on mail matter of the second
class, but have not found time to
open up these water powers so that
print paper can be made cheaper for
the publishers. 1t has been estimat-
ed by Secretary of Agriculture Hous-
ton that there is enough timber going
to waste in the forest reserves and on
cut-over lands to supply wood pulp
Indefinitely, if the question of it's
manufacture by water power could
be solved. Three bills now pending
in Congress Sheridan bill, the
Walsh bill and the Small bill-are
designed to release the water power
to private development in the three
fields mentioned.
The Bamberg herald. [volume] (Bamberg, S.C.) 1891-1972, 1917-11-08

for ever.
The speaker pictured with elo-
quent force the terrors of the pres
ent war and he asked his hearers
to consider how much more ferocious
would be conflict after thirty years
of scientific preparation. Such a
holocaust, he said, would destroy
civilization.
In pointing to the Importance of
Americas S entrance into the war. the
premier spoke of the swift growth
of Britain's contemplate little
army and of the vastness of Ameri-
cas- resources.
The resources of the United States
in man-power alone. he said, were
twice those of Great Britain. If
peace were to be concluded at this
stage the speaker asserted, Germany
would only benefit by the war and
that would ''encourage every buca-
neering empire in the future to re-
peat the experiment..
Il had hoped" he continued, that
the enenly's power might be broken
this year, but the temporary collapse
of the Russian military power has
postponed victory"
Mr.. Lloyd-George dwelt with en-
phasis upon the absolute harmony Of
action and thought on the part Of
the Allies

VICTORY MUST BE COMPLETE.
Lloyd George Says 1t will Never Do
to Make Temporary Peace.

There will be no peace in the
world until the shrine of the war
spirit of Potsdam is shattered and its
priesthood is dispersed and discredit-
ed forever
Premier Lloyd-George thus spoke
at a meeting at Albert Hall last
Tuesday, inaugurating nationwide
economy campaign. His speech
the most important of the year-was
marked by absolute confidence of
victory, high praise for America, and
inspiring enthusiasm for the right
eousness of the great cause With
every sentence he showed that he
has not in the slightest changed his
mind regarding his contention that
to end the war the Allies must fight
until the knockout blow has been
delivered to militarism.
Time is now on our side,' said
the premier. tTime was once neu-
tral-but not since the advent of
America and the failure of the Ger
man submarines.
The premier said more than twice
as many German submarines were
lost during the first ten months OF
this year, as in all of last year.
The most striking passages in the
prime minister's speech follows:
"I have scanned the horizon
intently and can see no terms in
sight which will lead to enduring
peace. The only terms now pos
sible would mean an armed truce
ending in an even more frightfu.
struggle.
Beware of people who try to SOW
dissension, distrust and suspicion.
The enemy is trying to rattle our
nerves. Keep steady and we will win.
II am not going to predict when
the war will end. No man in his
senses would prolong it AN hour
longer than is necessary to secure
q lasting peace, not prelude to a
more devastating war.
"Our real enemy is the war spirit
fostered in Prussia.
1--WE are now on the eve of the
most important inter-allied confer
ence ever held. For the first time
the representatives of America and
the new Russian democracy will
attend.
American participation in this
conference is of inestimable advan-
tage. Americas man-power is the
best fighting material in the world.
As his main Argument for war to
the knockout blow, the premier said:
Brute force must be dethroned
