As to Benefits.

As to Benefits.
The exact area benefited, which
would be definitely determined by a
later survey, which has been placed
at 1900 acres, is land owned by in
dividuals, the county, and the NJ. & ST.
l.. railroad, all Of whom would pay
their proportionatc share. of the cost.
Altho the engineer makes no pre-
tense of attempting to determine the
measure OF the benefits, on this sub
ject the report adds.
From a consideration of the totai
estimated cost and the area benefited
We see that the average cost per acre
is approximately So The unit used
in levying assessments is forty acres.
Some of the forty acre tracts on the
boundary of the district would be
slightly benefited or possibly a part
Of the forty would not be benefited at
all; also me land near the lower end
Of the district which comes within tn.
influence Of the dam. will not be great
~ benefited. The assessment on sucn
tracts would probably be under S. per
acre, and the cost of the rest Of the
district correspondingly increased. For
instance, if the assessment on 1000
acres averaged 81 per acre, the cost to
the remaining 5000 acres would aver
age s14 per acre. In my Judgment the
maximum cost per acre would not ex-
coed SIS If the total cost should equal
my estimate
As It Affects the City.
While only a small area inside the
city limits would come within the
drainage area-it being that small
district of lowland immedia teiy west

TELLS OF FIRST SHOT
FOR U. 5. AT GERMANS
American Artilleryman Gives Some
Details of Smelling Enemy Lines.

Sergt. ]. j.. Heffernan and a party
of American soldiers arrived from
France Sunday. The men had all
been gassed or wounded.
Americans go into battle cheering
and waving their hats, said Regiment
al Color Sergt. John ]. Heffernan in
describing conditions at the Franco
American front.
In Sergt. Heffernan's party was a
10 year old boy, Corp. Osborn de Va
rilla of San Francisco, an artillery
man who, his companions claimed, was
the first American to fire a shot at
the Germans last October.
His battery took it's place behind a
little town under cover of darkness,
planting it's guns on a slope which
had been previously camouflaged. De
Varilla's gun was aimed at a com
municating trench in the German
front line and when Captain 1. R. Nc
Lendon gave the word to the gun
crew, Is pounds of shrapnel went
screaming over 400 yards Of No
Mans Land.
Il felt pretty good when that old
shell went sailing over the hill" De
Varilla admitted. "The only thing we
we're all sore about was that we could
not see where it hit and had to take
another mans word for it. 1t made it
sort of an impersonal war.
when the Germans began to FIRE
back, we got some real thrills. l
didn't have time to think what 1t
would mean if their gunners got u
range and l guess the other men felt
about the same way. Nobody seemed
to be nervous"
The corporal said the Germans
made their first raid in his sector on
October 81 and that it was after this
raid that the body of an American
soldier was found in front OF the wire
with his throat cut from ear to ear
We've got a fine lot of boys over
there" Sergeant Heffernan SAID.
Charley Taft, former President Tafts
son. is one of them. l have seen him
under the hardest conditions, acting
like the real man he is"

Washin2ton, Dee. Neither the end of hostilties nor proposals for league of nations has altered the pol icy of the general board of the navy in regard to making tho American navy second to none in the world
 Rear Admiral Charles J. Badger chairman of the executive committee Of the board today told the house naval affairs committee that the navy .hould bc equal to that of any other nation ty 1925, and urged that suf- fcient appropriations to make this possible, be mace by congress.
 The general hoard believes that under the present world conditions and the conditions likely 10 obtain in the future" Admiral Badger said,
 the Uaited States navy should stead. fly continue to increase. Ultimately il should nc equal to the most power. l1l maintained bv any other nation of the world Year by year deyol. opment should be made as consistent with the facilities of the country but the limit above defined should be attained. not later than 1925.
 "Navies must be the principal sup. port of a league of nations. and the United States from it's wealth, innu- ence and power, will be called upon 10 render such league effective
 The duty Of the navy in the fu- tGre," the admiral said. will be not only 10 guard the country against in. yasion but 10 protect as well the great merchant marine now being built
 "Tho great naval lesson of the war has been that the nation possessing inc most powerful navy was able. in few weeks. 10 drive the German merchant flag from the seas, and to keep open her own trade routes. And yet when the war commenced, Ger many possessed the second best navy in the world. It proved to be not good enough fhe blockade, which she was not able 10 break, was the greatest contributing cause to her ul- innate collapse

Kruse and Rev Irwin St. John Tucker, leading social ists, were guilty of conspiracy to vic late tho espionage act, was given to. day before Judge I.andis, in the Unit. ed States district court.
 The witness whose testimony mark. ed the actual start of the trial was Arnold A. Schiller, Q Camp Grant sol. dier
 Much of his testimony hinged ON conversations which he. had with \ -4v4r9lA+srss 4r9lAsrs other !. -.gH1n,i,r .s.sng Awwa to the se x to by taken by aoci who were ineArf,6d in the drsft.

 Private Schiller, after telling of his entrance into the national army, Sep tember 23, 1917, testified that he knew all of the defendants and had seen them at different times in the spring and summer of 1917. He said he was member of the Young Peo. pies Socialis. league, known as "Yip- sell" and that he had talked with w. r. Kruse, defendant, and secretary or the league, in the presence of Her man Easier. who he described as an organizer of the league.
 BasIer he said, came from Germany three years ago and was about 22 years og age.

 The convention decided unanimous..- ly that no "Yipsel' between the ages of 2l and 70 should register under the draft, Schiller said Schiller told of having transcribed on a typewriter q code dictated by Easier which was to he used when secrecy was desired. He said that Easier in the presence of Kruse said he had Perfected plan of going into Mexico and that the code would be useful in thaS Sevent,s
 On his arrival at Ca' Grarh Schiller said, he beganA snding with Kuse asking perh-l D or sanize "Yipsel" circles.
 Letters were introduced in eviAl' see and identified by the witness as h-S letters to Kruse. and their replitr telling of the organization of suob circles in Rockford.
 One of the letters identified as hay ing been written by Kruse expressed inc hope that meetings could be held at Camp Grant.
