at the weather bureau last night that
calls had been coming in there inces-
sanity all day from persons who had
become alarmed over the waters ac-
ton, and were inQuiring as to the
necessity for moving their property
away from the path OF the overflow
ing river.
The rise of the water at this seaso n
is refard as very unusual occur
renee. since the swelling of the James
has for erly been due almost invari-
ably to thaw in the spring or to a
particularly heavy downp aar of water.
The weather bureau does not account
for 1t except in that the continuous
rains OF the last week in this section
and farther north filled the river TO
the breaking point.
Traffic on the James will not be re-
sumed before Tuesday, it is thought,
and the Old dominion authorities feel
that II the water recedes sufficiently
for the opening of operations even
then. they will regard it as a fortu-
nate outcome. The fact that the
water rose slowly. and after satisfac.
tory warning. eliminated the posi-
bitify Of less OF life from the food
Weather authorities think the water
will stand at it's maximum height for
perhaps twelve hours today and then
begin to slowly go down.

whether In the speech to the Ameri-
can troops at Christmas, or in the ad-
dress ar Manchester. serious men who
follow attentively each utterance or
this statesman. have felt genuine
satisfaction seeing that even amidst
all the influences OF old Europe Will
son keeps his ideals intact.
But I must warn my American
friends that here come some crtti-
cisms in response to which the presi-
dent ought to give his real measure.
Soon two months will have expired
since the signing of the armistice. 1t
is several weeks since Mr.. Wilson ar
rived in Europe.
Conversations are multiplying. The
kings OF England, Of Belgium and OF
italy have visited Paris. Wilson goes
to London and Rome. But as yet II
does not appear that his presence has
! produced clearer conception or or
greater cohesion between the entente
| policies.
FAITHFUL TO IDEALS.
| Neither for intervention in Russia
nor as regards the policy REGARDING
Germany or the procedure to be pur-
sued in establishing a league OF ma
tfons has a new solution been sug-
gested.
There. we must say are the testing
stones. BY his. speeches, by his public
diplomacy we feel indeed that the
president remains faithful to all his
ideals. But to what extent will they
he translated into action? There IL
the hitch.
The president Justified the hopes OF
all Europe when upon Cermany's
demand for an armistice he was able
by successive replies to force her Il
yield while recognizing the principle:
of Justice which should dominate tht
peace.
From the material defeat Of Ger
many Wilson has already made Il
arise a great moral victory for hu
mainly but his action must continue
1t ia necessary that in the peace pre-
liminaries end I would say. even be
fore the preIimiraries his influence
should assert itself in the policies o
the entente as it asserted itself dur
ing the armistice negotiations.
Now after two months Of uncer
tainty, two months OF German revo
lvtfon; two months OF internal dim
culties for the struggling nations, tw'
months in which rehabilitation ha
been delayed. public opinion in tn
various countries Is becoming fmpa
tient ,a
Victory must not be compromises
by lassitude or intertia. Secret dip
lomacy must not take the place OF tn
powerful open propaganda institutes
by Wilson.
We repeat 1t is now the people o
Europe who await the realization
all the hopes they have pinned upol
President Wilson.

TIE tiger IS one variety Of game
1 which IS in no danger OF exter-
mination.
Tigers have been hunted for CEN
turtles They furnished sport 70 the
ancient Romans. both IN the arena
where they faced the gladiators. and
IA the open field. Before that. they
were the game OF great Egyptian
monarcha II IS doubtful whether
primitive man was able TO XIII the
tiger at all.
Today. tigers are comparatively
easy game FOR the wealthy sports
men who hunt them with the great
double barreled English rifles carry
ing express bullets. Az great crowd
cf heaters usually assists az the
sport, and drives the tiger into the
open. though occasionally he is killed
by watching az the carcass Of an anil
nal he has killed. Occasionally q
tiger kills a hunter, but not often In
India and also In Korea many I'M
armed and half naked natives are
killed by tigers every year. In the
war between men and tigers. % is
