PROTECT THE MIAMI VALLEY
Work Of Protecting Immense Reser-
voirs One Of the Greatest Projects
Of the Kind.

Re II not for the fact that the
States has been engaged In
e8test OF world wars, the build
the five dry reservoirs as part
flood-prevention plan in the Mi
ID Valley would arrest the attention
~ he nation, says Howard Egbert in
~ ulhr Mechanics Magazine. Further
III nythat, international construction
cxAerts would be watching the work
with considerable interest, because the
project Is by far the greatest of its
kind ever attempted in this country.
The plan, of course, Is to insure per-
mnnent protection to the more than
100000 inhabitants living In the Miami
conservancy district, n region follow
ing closely the Miami river, an i'm
pOrtant but not navigable waterway
which threads its way through south
ern Ohio counties. The cost is estl-
mated at S20,0O0O00. More than 1000
men are required TO complete the con-
Struction work, and three years as
minimum Is the length Of time esti-
mated as necessary 10 carry out the
tention basins, or dry reservoirs, are
being constructed, all Of them now well
under way To construct any one of
these dams means the digging, trans
porting, depositing and cOmpactlng OF
from $4,000 to 100000 cubic yards
If earth. For the Miami river chan
mel the estimate Is 100000 cubic
yards. Dams and river together Will
mean the excavation and transpOrta-
lion in all of some 100000 cubic
yards of earth.
The floOd-conservancy project con-
sists of the dry-reservoir system,
which, once constructed. will occupy
five different tracts of land in the dis
trict. At unusual periods of high wa.
ter 1t is designed to permit all over
flow water to run into these basins.
They will be so stoutly constructed
that they cannot break under pressure
of millions of gallons Of water The
river channel, thus relieved of the adj
ditional burden of high water, will not
be threatened. and the customary dan
ger of banks breaking or Overlooking
is entirely eliminated.

stove l could dimly see her form
against the light Of the window. We

After supper he got out his boxing
gloves and gave me lesson In the art
Of self-defense, in which, l was soon
to learn, he was highly accomplished,
for we had few rounds together
every day after that. He keenly en-
joyed this form of exercise and soon
began to. My capacity for taking pun.

wondered little why he should
say that, and while I was wondering
he felled me with singing blow Oh
my nose.
"Ah, my lad-there's the best thing

back with no mad in ye," he said as he
gave me his hand
One day the schoolmaster called the
older boys to the front seats In his
room and among them.
'Now, boys,s I'm going to ask We

HOLD HUN PROPAGANDISTS
Three Hayc Been Convicted-French
Taught IN Schools.

Coblenz, Feb. 5.-Three Germans
have been convicted in military courts
here during the past few days on
charges of circulating enemy propa-
ganda among American troops in the
occupied area of Germany. The dis
tribution of material which intelli-
gence officers regarded as propaganda
has been carried on in various ways.
1t has been given away as postcards
and sold in stores. One shop keeper
was convicted after having offered for
sale a watch fob with American and
German flags crossed upon it. AT
Treves, recently, a thousand postcards
were confiscated by American officers.
They pictured a beautiful German wo-
man with handful of strings and at
the other end of the string were COM
paratively small French, British and
American soldiers dancing to her ca
price. By order of French military
authorities the study of the French
language has been taken up in the
schools of Bingen on the, Rhine. ac-
cording to German newspapers. With
the Inauguration of study of French
some difficulty is being experienced in
finding suitable teachers. 1t is said
that the teaching of French will be
undertaken in other Rhine towns as

troubles would be settled by utilization
of the armies neareN to the district
affected. 1t is believed this plan will
meet with the readiest approval of ali
countries, since it means, the least
change in present methods and over
comes the natural prejudices-which
is felt by other countries as well as
America-against sending troops to
distant lands except in the case of the
greatest provocation. ;
Interchanges of views by the various
powers indicate that one feature of
the new freedom of the seas" laws
will be prohibition of floating mines
and prohibition of all mines outside
territorial waters. Such mines would
have to be anchored and designed SO
they would be rendered non-explosive
if they broke free. Three mile limit
to territorial waters possibly will be
extended. however. due to the fact
that modern guns, both land and ma
val, have a greater range.

CARDS the league of nations.
Work to Secure Force
Paris. Feb. 5.-The peace delegates
We're working today on the most diff
ffcult problem involved in creation of
the league of nations-the force with
which the league will make it's deci-
sions effective Opinion seemed to be
divided as to whether this force should
be moral or physical. Many plans had
been submitted, ranking from COM
p!ete abolition of ornaments to organ
1zation of an international military and
naval police under single COM
mander.
The plan finding the greatest sup
port among responsible delegates,
however, provides for no such radical
departure. 1t proposes merely the re-
duction in each nations armament to
a point consistent with the mainte-
tenance of domestic tranquility; the
league itself to be the ultimate judge
as to the size of the army and navy to
be needed by the member nations.
The manner of raising armies would
be left to the individual countries.
Great Britain and the United States al
most certainly would rely on volun-
teers, attracted by good pay. France
and Italy possibly would return to
conscription. on the ground they could
not pay wages corresponding to those
in the British and American armies.
But whereas France had a conscript
army of 500 eco before the war, it
probably would need only 20 or 25 per
cent of that number under the league.
In the case of Great Britain and the
United States. the number of soldiers
would approximate their former
standing armies 100000 for the Brit
ish and $4,000 for the Americans).
When the central powers were taken
into membership. the league would fix
the size of their armies.
Only Emergency Calls.
: Only great emergencies would be
likely to call such armies to distant
points. In the event of trouble on the
american continent, the United States
would be directed by the league to
take action Similarly, European

belligerents by rules of order. But
the trouble had started all over and
the opposition to the resolution braced
its feet.
Once during the morning proceed

resolution with but little opposition.
That was when an amendment by Fin

provided for a referendum of only
