Washington as Canal Builder

From Give Us Back Our Canalsl'' by
 John Walker Harrington. in the
 American Review of Reviews.
 There is something of poetic justice in the fact that one of the first of the old sluices to be rehabilitated was the Chesapeake and Ohio, the building of which was pushed by Gen. George Washington, who was the first presi- dent of the construction company which called it into being. The father of his country was so convinced that the luther prosperity of the nation had much to do with water transportation by canal, that he obtained leave of absence while he was still commander of the Revolutionary army, that he might start the survey for the water way with which he hoped to connect the waters of the Chesapeake bay with the unsalted Ohio. The project was never realized, even in part, until long after his death, but to this day the canal Is a carrier of trade between Cumberland, Md, and Georgetown, in the District of Columbia. It derives it's water partly from the Potomac, and if deepened would be of much import ance to the national capital It has for years been under railroad control The government has now placed ad- ditional boats upon it and the lock crews are working night and day The channel is becoming as busy as it was in Civil war days, when 800 boats 10 times the number which it had when the federal authorities took charge, were in constant operation

 Review of Reviews.
 Of course the "peace" of Brest-Ilit- oysk was no peace. It was merely provisional deal between enemies for the attainment of specific ends. Both narties realized perfectly we'll that bol-. sheyism and Prussianism could not per- manently live cheek by jowl. But both narties had made Up their minds that, for the moment at least, they had bet From Russia and German Policy, by shey:ki as already stated, desired peace with Germany in order to con- solidate their power st home and pre- pare the world d-revolution. The Ger mans wanted to abolish their eastern front in order to concentrate a2alnst their enemies in the west They also had their scheme regarding Russia; scheme patently dangerous yet subt- ly bold and not impossible of success Briefly put, the German scheme was to divide the former Russian empire into two spheres in which Germany should play two diametrically opposite roles. Russia proper was to be handed ter story fighting each other. The bcl- sheviki were to be deliberately encou-- aged to do their worst. the theory te-

AID IS ASKED IN
 INFLUENZA FIGHT Public Health Service Calls on Laboratories to Help
 Stamp Out Infection

Washington, September 19-Labora- tories throughout the country were ask ed today by Surgeon General Rupert Blue, of the United States public health service, to help aid in determining the exact nature of the micro organism causing Spanish influenza. It was well known, the surgeon general said, that the epidemic of influenza which swept a large part of Europe and the United States in 1893 was an infection caused by a very minute bacterium usually spoken of as "Pfeiffer's bacillus" It was important to know, he added, wheth- CT the present outbreak was due to the same kind of germ.
 State health officers were instructed to send prompt reports by telegraph con- corning influenza, and in the meantime to start educational campaigns. with special emphasis on the established pre- cautions of warding off attack such as by plenty of fresh air, nutritious diet, and by avoiding the evils of overcrowd- ing.
