PROTECT THE MIAMI VALLEY
Work of Protecting immense Reser.
voirs One Of the Greatest Projects
Of the Kind.

Were it not for the fact that the
Ungted States has been engaged In
the greatest of world wars, the build
ing of the five dry reservoirs as part
Of flood-prevention plan in the Mi
ami valley would arrest the attention
of the nation, says Howard Egbert In
Popular Mechanics Magazine. Further
than that, international construction
experts 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-
manent protection to the more than
100000 inhabitants living in the Miami
conservancy district. a region follow
ing closely the Miami river, an im-
portant but rot navigable waterway
which thread its way through south
ern Ohio odnties. The cost is estl-
mated ar 100000 More than 1000
structior work, and three years as a
minimum is the length Of time esti-
mated ne necessary TO carry out the
designs OF the district. Five huge re-
tenrion 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, deposlting and compacting of
from $4,000 to 100000 cubic yards
Of earth. For the Miami river cham
mel the estimate is 100000 cubic
yards. Dams and river together Will
mean the excavation and transporta-
ton in all of some 100000 cubic
yards of earth.

Geneva. On August 10, 1885, Geneva
formally adopted Professionalism.
A year later. John Calvin, a refugee
from France, stopped at Geneva, in
tending to remain there only enc night.
Favel induced him to protract his visit.
In 1888 the opposition succeeded in
having Favel and Calvin expelled; but,
although Favel never returned, Calvin
went back In 1541, and gained such an
ascendancy that he was soon enabled
to set up a theocratic form of govern
ment, with himself at the head. He
was, at that time. in his thirty-second
year.
The site of Calvia's house, at Ge-
neva, is at No. 10 Grand Rue. That Of
Rousseau, which still stands, Is at
No. 40, the same street.
After the French revolution the city
was the capital of d French depart
ment, but in 1914 it became the twenty
second canton of the Swiss confedera-
ton. Since that time the history Of
Geneva, as regards its foreign policy,
has been Identical with that of the
confederation.

LONDON FOR CRIME.
Lloyd George Says Former German
Emperor Will Face Tribunal
Sitting i'm London.

London, July 3.-The prime min
lister, Mr.. Lloyd George, delivered in
the house of commons this afternoon
an explanation of the peace treaty
which he described as the most mo-
mentous document to which the Brit
ish empire ever affixed its seal"
Though showing the effects Of his
long labors at Paris and lacking his
usual fire, the premier at times
made impassioned utterances and
was loudly cheered. His announce
ment that the former German empe-
ror soon would be placed on trial be-
fore tribunal sitting in London was
cheered most of all, while his pre-
sentation of the Anglo-French con
ventiOn, providing for British aid il
Germany should attack France un.
provoked convention analogous to
one between the United States and
France-was greeted with unre-
strained approval.
He told of the peace conference's 8
efforts to prevent wars in the future
and reviewed some of the striking re-
strictions put upon Germany in the
treaty signed at Versailles.
Discussing the determination OF
the allied and associated powers tc
place on trial William Hohenzollern
the former German emperor, as the
man held chiefly responsible for the
war, he declared that if such q
course had been followed after Other
wars "there would have been fewer
wars" 1t was the intention TO make
an example of Germany so as to dis
courage others from "ever again at
tempting to repeat this infamy"
Speaking of the territorial terms
of the treaty, Mr. Lloyd George saiC
the territory taken from German
was a matter of restoration. 1t wa
a restoration OF Alsace-Lorraine. h
said, taken forcibly from the land {
which its population was deeply al
tached; it was a restoration O

which he described as 1.-The meanes

ARMY ORDERS 60 MILES
OF RIBBON FOR BADGES
VIII BE Used to Make Service Stripcs
For Men Who Fought Against
the Germans.

Washington, July 3.-Orders have
just been placed by the army quar-
termaster corps for 10000 yards
60 miles-of silk ribbon, out OF
which will be made the service
stripes that men who served in the
war against Germany are entitled to
wear Though the authorization for
the victory badges" as they will
be called, was issued by the war de-
partment on April 8, it was found
impossible to start the manufacture
ing process.
The difficulty lays in matching the
coloring and shades Of the service
insignia decided on in France, but
American mills finally got out a
product exactly similar to the i'm
ported samples. The badge carries
the colors Of the allied countries on
one-inch strip, and they blend from
deep purple through shades of blue
and yellow, and then back again.
They will be available for delivery
to those entitled to wear them in
about three weeks, the quartermas-
ter corps estimates. The quantity or
dered will make 3.78O,0OO individ-
ual bars.
