POET HAILED AS HERO Of ITALY

were the people in mis- audience that
| they rushed enraged to the streets and
| threw up barbados behind which they
| fought for the preservation of the
country's honor against those who
would betray them to the kaiser and
his intrlguers.
Cries always Forward"
on May 10, 1918. the italian parlla-
ment declared war and the next day
D'Annunz.o issued an mpassloned
statement declaring that "This day the
people of Italy have once more become
healthy; they have recovered their
strength and their liberty. BE they
few or he they many, one against one.
one against four or one against ten
forward. Always forward to the
charge. victory is only to those who
believe In victory, who swear by vic
tory"
D'AnnunziO was among the first TO
manifest an intense interest in avia-
ton. When the Wright brothers were
in Europe he passed a great deal of
time with them, and II was through his
influence largely that the Italian gov
eminent consented to consider serious
ly what until then had been regarded
as fantastic dream. The alrplane ut
that time was an unstable and peril
Gus machine. Nobody knew this bet
ter than the inventors. and II was only
with the greatest reluctance that Or
Vile Wright one day consented to
take the poet with him in II short flight
TIE flyer and his passenger mounted
only short distance above the ground
leave D'Annunzio an aviation enthusi-
asst.

Cross Section of Earth Dam.

manner After the ground has been
20 stripped and before the grading is
begun, trench u feet wide and not
less than Is inches in depth is dug the
entire length of the proposed dam. The
edge of this trench from the upstream
side is not less than or more than 10
feet inside the toe of the inner slope.
This trench is dug for the purpose of
breaking the seam that otherwise
might exist between the natural ground
and the constructed dam.
Standard Dimensions.
The dam then is built in the usual
way by placing the material in uniform
layers under the whole base of the
dam. Figure / shows the standard di-
mensions used in embellishments and
the position of the intercepting trench.
It will be noted from this sketch that
the flow line of the wasteway Is five
feet below the top of the embankment.
Wherever possible, a natural waste
way was utilized in direct line with the
stream channel and the dam located
to one side so as not to be subjected
TO the direct force of the stream.
TO protect the embankment from
waves produced by the high winds Of
the open range, the inner slope may
be covered with rock, brush and rock,
or other material. A common kind Of
protection consists of sheet piling
formed of inch boards 10 inches wide

Washington, d. c., Mar. 9.-Presi

new revenue legislation for presenta.
tion to congress.
Revision OF the present war tax law,
it is stated authoritatively is one fea.
ture of tentative administration plans
which are expected to cover the gov

year, including new bond issues.
Broad features of the legislation
probably will be discussed by the pres

Ado and administration leaders in con.

the president will definitely advise

alton and needs, present and future,
probably submitting tentative bills for
committee consideration, embodying
