THE VALUE
Of inland WATERWAYS
Representative Moore Urges Devel.
opment Of Continuous System
From Maine to Florida.

Vital importance. both as a utility
OF peace and q feature OF prepared

waterways along the Atlantic sea-
board-thess waterways to be linked
together to form q continuous inland
passage from Maine to Florida-is
Hampton Moore Of Pennsylvania. presi-
dent Of the Atisntic Deeper waterways
Association.
In the course OF his statement Rep
resentativs Moore points out that with
. canal linking mp existing waterways.
the East river and Long Island sound,
it would be impossible for an enemy
feet to bottle up or blockade an Amer
lean nest in New York harbor, and
do this at Philadelphia il a modern

canal.
r., -. Cites Value Of System.
The inestimable value Of q deeper
waterways system extending along the
entire Atlantic coast as an aid to coast
wise shipping II pointed out In the
statement by figures showing that in
the period from 1900 to 1910, inclusive.
about 1900 shipping disasters occurred
along the Atlantic coast. involving the
loss Of 200 lives and the destruction
Of about $40.o00.o00 Of property. all
Of which could have been avoided had
an inland waterways system been avail
able for the tfss of shipping in times
OF severe storms. In q period Of TWEEN
ty-five years. the. statement shows. no
less than 1000 similar disasters 90
CURED to vessels around Cape Cod.
Recognition of the value Of such .
system. Representative Moore says, has
been given by the railroads in the last
few years, especially in the winter just
past. when war conditions resulted In .
railway congestion that virtually par
alyzed the entire east. With an adequate
system Of coastal waterways linked up
with . system Of inland water trans
portation lines. he says. such . con-
dition could never have occurred.

Anti-Draft Speeches.

Anti-conscrfption speeches were made
from the same platform by John Dillon,
nationalist leader, and Prof. Edward de
Valera. head Of the Sim Fein, yester-
day. at Ballaghadereen. in billions con-
stituency Of East Mayo. Good humor
and enthusiasm Characterised the
attended by $4,000 per-
sons.
Mr.. Dillon said that IL the Irish kept
united and determined for another two
1t was an atrocious form Of oppression
to try to compel people to tight for 4
country not their own. He personally
opposed conscription whether in Great
Britain or in Ireland and believed 1t
was a great blunder to depart from Eng
lands settled policy against compulsory
service. especially when it was not to
defend the soil Of Great Britain. but to
send huge armies to the continent. He
earnestly appealed for . spirit OF frank
and friendly cooperation throughout
Ireland. Without this unity was impos-
sible.
If the nations unity was broken in the
face Of the present terrific danger, Mr..
Dillon continued, the government would
be encouraged to pursue its wicked and
people. which is essential to the defeat
of CONSUMPTION, would be broken.
Government Has Been Staggered"
The nationalists and Sim Feiners. he
struggle for Ire1and's rights was based
on the principle of her rights as q ma
ton. There was an impression in the
country that all danger was over. This
was no question that the government
had been staggered and no longer was
SO confident about tie practicability
of its policy as professor when the bill
was introduced.
A powerful section Of tire house Of
land had declared against conscr;ption
in Ireland. Mr.. Dillon added, unless and
until an Irish parliament and an Irish
government were established. These
in ireland and the action Of the county
bishops had given the government
pause. but It would be q disastrous
mistake to suppose that danger had
passed. He suggested the formation Of
Irish committees attached to every
church and chapel 80 that in the event
Of struggle being forced upon them
the church could be the ral1ying point.
Says England Cannot Spare Army.
The nationalist leader declared he
was convinced 1t would take an army
such as England could Ill spare to
carry out successfully CONSUMPTION in
Ireland. He was also convinced that
the government would split on the
Irish rock and instead Of destroying
the Irish nation the Irish would de-
stroy them.
Prof. de Valera said his followers
would unite with those Of Mr.. Dillon
to defeat conscription. With the ref
erences to the issue raised in East
Cavan he said there was only one
arbitrator to whom the Sim Fsin
would submit-namely, the free choice
Of the electors.
LONDON, May 6,-The governments
two-fold' policy Of CONSUMPTION and
home. rule for ireland IL disastrous,
declares Sir Horace Plunket, president
Of the recent Irish convention. in q
letter to the press. The government
ought, he says Immediately establish
responsible government in ireland
as war measure and ireland would
then voluntarily Join in the war.

LONDON. May 5.-Field Marshal WIS.,
count French has been appointed lord
lieutenant Of Ireland.
The official announcement. of the ap-
pointment OF Field Marshal French as
lord lieutenant and OF Edward Short.
member of the house of commons for
Newcastle Tyne, as chief secretary
for ireland was issued tonight.
Lord French succeeds Baron VIM
borne, who was appointed lord lieu
May, 1916. and reappointed the follow
ing August to that post, after the Dub
uprising. Lord Wimborne gave testi-
mony before the Investigating COM
Which ,n Later ss him
Field Marshal Viscount French OF
Ypres was commander i'm chief Of tie
British expeditionary forces in France
and Belgium at the outbreak OF the
war. in August. 1911: until the end Of
1915. In January. 1916. he was ap-
pointed commander-in-chief OF the
home forces. He is a knight of the
Most Illustrious Order of st. Patrick.
Comes as a Surprise.
LONDON. May 6.-The appointment
of Field Marshal Viscount French as
viceroy Of Ireland comes somewhat as
surprise. 1t was known that the
government was experiencing consid-
cradle difficulty in finding successor
to Baron Wimborne and that this was
the reason for the delay in announcing
officially the appointment of Edward
Short as chief secretary. which was
known unofficially many days ago.
No one however, ANTICIPATED such q
purely military appointment as the
celebrated field marshal. His name GER
tainly had been mentioned. but only in
connection with a scheme for placing
the lord lieutenantship in a commits
sion as a way out o fthe difnculty. and
even in that case tho name Of Gen.
Mahon was generally favored as a like
1y member of the triumvirate.
Viscount French is Of Irish extrac-
ton. He has a seat in Ireland, is Colo
mel Of Irish regiments and popular
figure in the country. but that 10 hardly
likely to reconcile the Irish people to
his appointment, for they will see in it
nothing but a threat to put conscrip-
ton into effect.

246 IS NUMBER
DRAWN FIRST
NLOTTERY
Order Number Not So I'M
portant as Classification
Determines Order

The drawing of number to deter
mine the order in which youths OF
the class of 1918 will be called into
military service was conducted in
Washington last week with much the
same ceremony which marked the
great drawing of year ago.
This time, however, it was much
smaller affair, and in view of the fact
that the classification system more
nearly determines the order of ser
vice than does the actual numerical
order, it was not surrounded with
such dramatic interest.
The drawing was held in the great
conference room of the Senate office
building with Secretary Baker, blind
folded, taking the first gelatine cap
sule, with number enclosed from
the glass bowl. It was No. 246
Numbers 1168 and 818 were the sec
ond and third, respectively, and thus
the drawing continued to the end.
Big blackboards for checking the
record were placed against the wall at
the rear of, the room. The num-
bers were written on the board as
drawn and then the board was photo
graphed to make a permanent incon-
trovertible record.
Secretary Baker; General March,
Chief of Staff; Provost Marshal Gen.
eral Crowder, Chairman Chamber
lain and members of the senate mil
itary committee, and members of
the house military committee stood
about the table as the first numbers
were drawn.

FARES TO RESORTS
TO BE REDUCED

Press dispatches indicate that re-
duced excursion fares to summer re-
sorts will be put into effect soon by
the railroad administration. Passen-
ger traffic committees are now work
ing on thousands of local rates of
seashore and inland resorts and many
of these will be recommended to Di-
rector General McAdoo within a
week.
Although low excursion rates
which were existing before June 10,
when the Scent mile passenger
rate went into effect, will not, be
restored, the special rates will range
from 10 to 20 per cent less than the
straight fare.

Calls To Be Made For Men
Every Month Until First
of Year

Secretary Baker disclosed to the
Senate military committee Wednes-
day that within three months an en-
larged army project now being work
ed out will be presented to Congress
to represent the maximum fighting
effort of the country.
Already the calculations upon
which the pending army bill has been
framed have been exceeded, and the
war department is revising its plans
on an enlarged basis that means ad-
ditional millions OF fighting men.
Mr.. Baker disclosed the new plans
in explaining his reasons for oppos-
ing any change now in the draft age
limits.
General March, chief of staff, al
ready has announced the army in five
months ahead Of schedule in troop
movements, 900, 900 men having been
sent abroad. During the debate last
Wednesday, however, it was disclosed
that if the highest hopes are real
lied 1 100000 men will have reach
ed France some time in August, and
there will be a total force under
arms of approximately 100000.
A statement read into the Senate
record by Senator Chamberlain,
chairman of the military committee,
predicted class one probably would
be exhausted during October, and
would be reduced to 614,126 men
by calls to be made before August
1.
Secretary Baker and General
March were positive the reservoir of
fighting man power would meet all
calls upon it under the best possible
conditions of mobilization and trans
portation until Congress has an OPP
pOrtunity to take up age extensions
later with the data now being COM
piled by the war department now at
hand.

The question of available shipping
to haul the men to France is a vital
factor. At present much British and
French tonnage is employed on the

work, as unusually good crops in
England have already made ships
available weeks longer than was ex-
pected.
Under previous estimates made.
May was expected to be the month
of high records in troop shipments,
the allied vessels being withdrawn
then to carry foodstuffs and NUM-
tons needed in France and England.
It is now indicated they will not be
withdrawn before July.
This probably explains the pro-
posed schedule of mobilization read
into the Senate record by Senator
Chamberlain, showing declining
rate after August, when the July
withdrawals for shipment from the
environments would have been made
good.
The table sows total strength in
class one of 2,362,088, deductions
of 334,634 for delinquents; 36,770
for the emergency fleet list, 215, 539
for limited service classification and
50,268 for remediable defects leav-
ing 1,724,871 fighting men of those
originally placed in class one. To
that number it is estimated 100000
will be added by the Reconsideration
process now going on and 100000
from the class of 1918.
With the July call deducted, the
table fixed 877,359 as the number of
availables left in the fighting ranks
of class one, and the estimated calls
for the rest of the year are placed
at total of $4,000 which would
leave 1000 men still in the class Jan
uary l, 1919. The calls for 1918 are
given as August 10000; September
10000; October 10000; Novem-
Der $50, 900 and December 125, 900.
