waterway can be 30 operated a. to
facilitate the movement Of freight
without involving in any way COM
petition between the canal and the
railroad. In other words each
method OF transportation, and dis
tribution supplements and co-operates
with the other and the best authori-
ties now agree that this furnishes the
highest economy and the most satls-
factory solution OF the very important
freight problem. Nevertheless while
the government Is taking control of
the canal traffic the State of New
York possesses the fee-simple in the
canal and has bonded itself to the
extent of $l5o.000.000 to pay for It.
there will be satisfactory
adjustment Of the relation now estab-
lished between the Federal govern
ment and the State of New York with
respect to the use of this canal.
At last there Is established a true
and satisfactory through water route
from the West through the great lakes
to the harbor of New York; for the
navigable portion Of the Hudson River
below Albany constitutes a part Of
this waterway. HOLLAND"

Britain Sound at Core;
True to Cause of Allies
English Like to Grumble, but Sinister Rumors
Not Founded in Fact-Bloodshed
If, CONSUMPTION Asked.

When Lloyd George said that. were
the armies in France to be destroyed.
England would not make peace SO
long as British ship remained afioat.
he spoke for the nation, and he was
talking. not rhetoric, but sober truth.
England would expect America to
back her up in that high resolve.
Aside from British labor, now sober
ed and brought into line by the mill
tary crisis. apart from the still -e-
calcitrant Irish. there remains the
danger whispered about. In the re-
ported desire Of small but powerful
group Of reactionary Tories to make
peace with Germany-an Anglo-Ger-
man peace. ''the cynical peace" as
the Liberals call II.
The AIsace-Lorraine Problem.
These men are said to regard mill
tary victory over Germany as impos-
sible. But they say Russia has be-
trayed us. We owe nothing to Rus
sia, and by giving Germany Q free
hand in the east we can exact the
German colonies and a great part OF
Turkey; Italy deserves no considera-
ton because of her poor military
showing, while the ambition of France
to get back Alsace-Lorraine is not pos
sible Of fulillment. and British blood
cannot be shed for this impossible
aim.
Lord Miner is the statesman asso-
ciated by rumor with this program.
It Is an un-English scheme, would be
repudiated with horror by the mass OF
the British people. and must not be
taken too seriously. but Americans
ought to know that such a group OF
men exists-I do not say that Lord
Miner Is one of them-for In all Pres
ident Wilson's recent utterances are
passages showing clearly that he
knows Of the movement and desires
to make quite clear to all concerned
that America would never consent
to sacrifice the general principles upon
which alone just peace can be con-
structed for any such barter OF the
east against the west, which could
only SOW seeds Of more wars.
England IL Sound.
Not only Lloyd George and his
followers. but the Asquith group of
Liberals. the labor party. and even
the British paciist group, speak
with loathing of such a peace.
Those men who favor II are impe-
rialists OF the old school, whose
ideals and ways OF thought are
avowedly Prussian. and who have
always envisaged this war as pri-
marily a struggle between the Brit
ish and German empires for world
power.
England is sound at the core.
England will stick. That is my
honest opinion. based on years OF
study Of English conditions. The
coming trouble in ireland. and oc-
casional outcroppings of the nature
indicated above. must not obscure
the fact that all liberal England
is. with possibly a few reservations
as to sea policy. at one with Amer
ica's ideal for the future OF the
world.

preparation of about sio.0oo.0o0 was

port at low cost, about 10000, 900 tons

IL loaded upon freight cars would
require $4,000 cars to carry. But the
legislature was Of economical dis
position. It did not heed the coun-
sells Of the experts who asserted that

money would be thrown away. This
money was expended and II was found
to have entailed complete waste. The
canal was really no better than II
was before the money was spent for
Its Improvement. Therefore Eke legis-
lature learned that parsimony is not
economy. And furthermore 1t was
persuaded that IL there was to be

as $50 1000 900, and authority was given

little more than $50. 900, 900 have been

it involved the solution of as difficult
engineering problems as did the con-
struction OF the Panama Canal.
One Of the facts which will be ira
ditionally associated with the opening
Of the improved barge canal to navi-
cation Is the taking over Of traffic
upon the canal by the Federal govern
ment with intent so to utilize It as
not to compete with the railroads but
instead to supplement the railroads
and to provide needed facilities for
the enormous movement Of traffic en-
tailed in the first place by the war
and sure to be continued after the
war is ended. This action. taken py
Secretary McAdoo, Is an indirect con-
firmation Of the policy adopted by
the railroads which crossed New York
State parallel to the old Erie Canal.
Commodore Vanderbilt and his sue
cessors in the direction Of the Van
derbilt lines were convinced that by
means Of highly improved railroad
equipment. greatly increased econ
omies in the handling of trains, and
the fact that cargoes could be brought
directly from Chicago or other points
In the West to New York City by the
railroads, 1t would be possible so
greatly to reduce the rates charged
for transportation of freight, especial
ly OF grain, as to compel the canal
management to say you have beaten
US. We cannot operate our canal
boats at as low cost as you operate
your trains and we shall not be in
condition to compete with you even
though the canals are made free"

When De Witt Clinton built the
Erie Canal in the name of the Stale
Of New York the cost of that arti-
ncial waterway was only a little
more than the interest upon the
money which the State has recently
expended in perfectipg this canal.
From cEis time on until the frost
closes the canal IL will be in opera
ton from Buffalo TO the Hudson
river and to the harbo= of New
York. In length it is the greatest
artificial waterway. for the main
line measures $50 miles. and IL the

Lake Champlain with the Hudson

BILE OF transporting large barges.
1t wtll be possible even to bring
oarges from Chicago by the way of
the Great Lakes through this i'm
mense waterway to the Hudson and
New York City.
De Witt Clinton ncver contem-
plated an artificial waterway of this
magnitude; for although only three
or four years before he began the
agitation for the construction Of a
waterway which would connect Lake
Erie with the Hudson river Robert
Fulton had demonstrated the COM
ercial practIcability OF his appa-a-
tus whereby steam-driven boats
would be able to navigate the water,
yet Clinton never seems to have
contemplated the application Of
steam to barges or boats that would
navigate the Erie Canal He relied
wholly upon mule power. His
waterway at the time it was opened
for navigation was looked upon with
even greater interest and curiosity
than Is the new State barge canal.

latter part Of last week.

more detailed accounting than he had

The community is very much inter

opening the mill even if permitted to
do so, but he can hardly refuse if

'It may be that the needs of the
