dutch Will drain
INUNDATED LANDS
Basin Of Zuider Zee.tO Be Turned
Into Farmland

Washington Sept. 27.-Undertak-
ing a project which will cost about
$89,244,0O0 and will add 523,440
acres of tilIabIe soil to the area Of
Holland, and which will require 80
years for completion, the Dutch gov
eminent has begun preliminary work
of draining the Zuider Zee. A COM
mission has been named to take the
necessary steps for the commence
ment of construction work, under au-
thorization of an act passed by both
houses Of the Dutch legislature, which
received the Royal signature June
IA, 1918, according to a report from
Commercial Attache Paul L. Edwards
at The Hague.
The work of turning the bottom
of the Zuider Zee into fields and gar
dens is divided into two distinct
phases: First, the building of a
great 1S-mile dixie from the Island
of Wieringen to a point near the town
of Priam on the coast of the province
of Friesland; and, second, the con-
struction of four bikes within the sea
and the draining and retaining Of
the land in back Of these barriers.
The average depth of water which
the great dixie will encounter is about
level. The height of the dixie itself
above sea level will run from 1879 feet
to 17.6 feet.
The body of the main dixie will
consist of sand on a body of brush
and stone, with a surface covering
of clay, and the outside lateral sur
face will be faced with a basalt rip
rap. A double track railroad will run
along the dixie on the inside. This
clay for the surface will be dredged
from the bottom of the Zuider Zee
and also will be transported from the
island of Wieringen as waste ma
terial of a canal that will be under
construction there. The total volume
of the dixie is estimated to be about
39,23S,000 cubic yards. The estimat-
ed cost of the dixie proper is about
$11,256, 1000.
Although the completion of the
entire project will require 33 years,
$500 acres comprising the first sec
ton of reclaimed land will be avail
able for cultivation within fifteen
years. Experts assure the Hollanders
that the soil will be FERTILE as, after
the great dixie has cut off the sea,
the Zuider Zee gradually will turn
fresh, owing to the continual empty
ing into it of fresh water streams.
Several important fishing villages,
such as Vollendam and Marker will
be no longer touched by water, SO the
Government has promised that spe-
cial laws shall be passed providing
for adequate decentralization of the
fishermen and providing funds for
the removal and establishment of
their industry on the North Sea.
The government expects to receive
about SIS per acre per year as rem
tai for the reclaimed soil.

country wants neither Neither should
be inflicted. There is already worry
enough, and waste inheres in such
turbulence as is now raging.
The elections are political, and the
revenue measure is not. Taxes are
being laid for the support of the
war, and politics has no part or lot
in the war. Let Senators and Rep
resentatiVeS make their record on the
measure without regard to votes for
themselves. If the measure can be
enacted into law before election day,
we'll and good. If not, let November
be added to September and October
for debate. On no account should a
recess be taken covering election day,
with a view Of saving members from
embarrassment at the polls. There
would be no votes for either cam
didates or parties in lodging.
There is rough going ahead for the
easure. 1t is threatened in the
House, and certain in the Senate. Mr..
Smoot who has taken the place Of
the late Mr.. Aldrich as his party S
leader in the Senate on questions Of
tariff and taxation, pronounces the
measure. 1t is threatened in the
tiles, and he is preparing to so as
sail it when the house sends it over.

Camp DeyenS.
of the g,

In another column may be found q
story about conditions at Camp Devens
which would be incredible if the facts
contained thereil were not vouched
for by a reputable eyewitness, a
father who had seen his son die a
victim of the epidemic which has raw
aged the cantonment.
Every American, and especially
every parent, will sympathize hearth
ly with the bereaved parent. His
story is similar to that of numerous
other parents whose sons have also
died from the terrible malady. The
disease spread so rapidly that it caught
the officials unprepared. True, there
are beds for 1900 patients but six
times that number have been stricken
and the accommodations were insult
ffcient. That is the whole story in a
nutshell.
While the proportions of the cpl
demic are startling, there is no cause
for any panicky feeling, nor should we
be too severe in criticizing the gov
eminent We must try to realize the
feelings of those who have lost be-
loved members of their families, but
at the same time we must not be
hasty in abusing the War Department,
which is doing it's very best to check
| the spread of the disease. Uually
1900 beds would suffice to provide for
victims of any normal sickness, and
under ordinary conditions doctors and
| nurses regularly stationed at Camp
| Devens could take care of those af-
! ficted, but it is another matter when,

III idea of the committee that even
he expenditure of steam should be
siderable. the blowing of the whis-

that whether. the whistles were

THE PHANTOM BELLS.


1 like to think that all the simple
Who died beneath the grinding Ger
man yoke
Have found a heaven, not with
streets of gold,
But like the villages they knew Of
old,
Where peasants, hearty burghers,
and their wives,
Live once again their simple, blame
less lives.
/ hope the cities wantonly destroyed,
The homesteads now of life and love
devoid
The murdered trees, all flourish once
Within some spirit world beyond our
These dead would wish no heaven all
ag1ow
With gemS-just hOme1ike scenes
they used to know.
Not gates Of pearl and jasper set in
gold
I hope their yearning spirit eyes be-
hold
But peaceful pastures, fields of low
ing kine
Grain in the reaping, fruitage on the
svine,
Orchards a-bloom with beauty
springtime sends
May all these greet them like IA
miliar friends.
And all the bells that pealed so sill
Ver-clear--
I know their echoes sweetly haunt
that sphere.
Bells of Termonde and Rheims, and
many more
They will ring out more clearly than
before
For French or Flemish folk who
walk below,
Just as they did not very long ago.
Not long ago, oh bells-and yet SO
long
Since here on earth you played your
vesper song!
Spray your sweet melodies upon the
air
Of that new world, for those who
meet in prayer,
Or quicken with delight, dear bells,
and say:
*'Hail to the happy bride who walks
this way!"
Masked by the fretwork of your
carven towers
Count, in your purest tones, the pass
ing hours;
Count, till upon this striving pain
racked earth,
Prussia is vanquished, freedom finds
new birth
And then, we phantoms, peal, with
one accord,
One great Doxology, and praise the
Lord!

GADSDEN HOTEL IS RAIDED BY OFFICERS

Sensation and scandal reigned throughout Douglas late Monday night and yesterday morning. when the re- port became common gossip upon the streets that the Hotel Gadsden had undergone two raids by the police in less than four hours.
 The raids were the culmination of numerous reports reaching the head of the police department within the past two weeks to the effect that much drunkenness and disorderly conduct was rampant in the hotel, and that booze parties" were being held nightly throughout the establishment.
 After carefully Investigating the re- ports. Chief of Police Jones, assisted by Patrolmen Kirkpatrick, Ross and BoOZer, swOoped down upon the Gals. den twice within four hours Monday night, and as a result the police drag net closed in on the following:
 F. J. Langan, manager of the Gads- den, charged with being drunk and having whisky in his possession. He made the required bond and was re- leased.
 R. W. Kelley. charged with having whisky in his possession. M. l.. Buckley, charged with being drunk and disorderly and now being held in jail by Chief Jones for i'm personating himself as a federal of ficer
 R. S. Perciyal, charged with being drunk.
 j. II. Welch, also placed under ar rect for being drunk and being unable to make bail, was compelled to spend the rest of the night in jail.
 Welch was later fined S25 and the charge of impersonating an officer aeainst Buckley was dismissed. He was fined for being drunk, as were the others arrested.
Bisbee daily review., 1918-09-19

A lady subscriber sends the editor of the Review an exceedingly well written and courteous letter in which she quotes from the scriptures to support her theory that the Lord was against Sutter in the recent pri- mary campaign. Now this column could be ungallant enough to retort that the devil can quote scripture" but that Is hardly the proper way to acknowledge such polite epistle. And anyway this column holds no brief for Senator Sutter It does not feel called upon to continue to stir up class and political strife by explaining his defeat It supported him simply because 1t considered him the ablest and most forceful man in the race and because it believed his election would be more beneficial to Arizona as a whole than that of any of his competitors. In reply to the lady subscriber this column would say that it IS both surprised and sor- " to note one of her apparent intelligence and her fair minded manner of address in- voking the scriptures to aid her in support of such cause. As between the principles represented by Sutter and by Colter in the recent primary, this column Is firm in its belief that both the major and the minor prophets and all of the apostles except Judas would be on the side of Sutter, and this column turns not a little to the scrip lures itself in search of both comfort and support
