10 build new piers. At iirSt it was
proposed to build the new piers on
the downstream side of the old bridge
and shift the bridge laterally to the
new position, in this way maintaining
traffic over the old bridge while the
new construction was going on. But
the war department required the in
stallation Of a larger draw-span in the
bridge and so it was decided to build
the new piers between the old piers.
After they were completed, the fixed
spans of the bridge were moved shore
ward endwise, so that they rested on
the new piers. A temporary span was
constructed to fill the gap thus oc-
casioned, so that traffic was closed
over the bridge for less than ten hours.
Then work was begun upon the new
swing span, which was built as a cantf-
lever in open position. To permit Of
this, portion of the old swing-span
had to be cut away and temporary
lift-span was put in to take care OF
river traffic. Thus the bridge was re-
constructed without changing Its
alignment.-Scientific American.

Pacific Blockade.

"Pacific blockade" is term Invent
ed by Hautefeuilie, the French writer
on international maritime law, to de-
scribe blockade exercised by a great
power for the purpose of bringing
pressure to bear on a weaker state
without actua! war. The pacific block
ade has apparently established itself
as a legitimate means Of coercing a
weak power to observe its interna-
tional obligations without resprting to
war for that purpose. 1t Is modern
development and has usually been the
act of several powers acting in concert.
1t was first employed in 1927, when
the combined fleets of Great Britain.
France and Russia blockaded a por-
ton of the Turkish coast. More re-
cent instances of its exercise were the
blockade Of Crete by the powers In
1897, the blockade of Venezuelan ports
by Great Britain, Germany and Italy
in 1902 and Of Turkish ports by the
powers in 1905.

Two possible solutions of this re-

first is that most officers appear to be
rather stern and stand-offish in uni,

haps an equally probable ore, is that
the public is getting tired of seeing

WOULD DRIVE OUT REDS
West Virginia Department of Justice
After Radicals

Charleston, w. Va, Nov. 13.-
Agents of the Department of Justice
are en- route to the coal mining dis
tricts at Northern West Virginia, Gov
ernor John ]. Cornwell announced to-
night, following advices from Wash
ington to that effect. 1t will be their
purpose to "clean out radical centres
and round up l. w. w. and Russian
agitators, he said.
Governor Cornwall sent a telegram
to Attorney General Palmer earlier
in the day, stating that reports from
the civil authorities in the northern
section of the State showed that "alien
radicals" were active among the min
ers. He said that Industrial Work
ers of the World had established head
quarters at Grant Town, Marian Coun
ty and Wendt, Taylor County.
The Governor expressed the belief
that "if half dozen of these aliens
can be arrested and Immediately and
promptly deported" the situation would
be "smoothered." He said there
were a few leaders who should have
been deported long ago"
The Attorney General was asked by
the Governor to take some action, and
was assured in the meantime that "the
State authorities will deal with an at
tempt at violence"
Despite the assurance of officials OF
the United Mine Workers that they
have the situation in control, coal
operators and State officials tonight
expressed uneasiness over the reports
from the coal fields in the norterr
counties of the State that radicals
threatened trouble

Washington, Nov. 13.-By a vote
of 46 to 80 the Senate tonight adopted
the reservation of the Foreign Rela

President Wilson has denounced as 9
knifethrust at the heart of the treaty
The vote followed a hard battle by
the minority forces TO amend the
reservation and substitute mildel
one for it.
After the reservation had been
adopted, Senator Lodge, the majority
leader, offered petition, signed by
thirty Republican Senators, TO invoke
the cloture rule, so as TO limit further
debate on the treaty. Under the
rules, the petition went over until Sat
urday, when ii must be voted on with
out debate.

chair, that the cloture, If invoked

IN u releases Being Made
in Belgium and Spain
BELGIUM
Such Traffic in Munitions Is Violat
ion of international Agreement"
Watching Spain

Washington, Nov. 13.-Large or
ders for arms and ammunition placed
| by Mexico in Belgium and Spain, in
preparation for the possibility OF
American intervention. came to light
today when the State Department
| let it become known that the Gov
ernment had taken steps to prevent
| their shipment.
The Charge d. affairs of the embassy
in Brussels has protested, under in
structions, that shipment of the mu-
nitions would be in violation of the
International Arms Convention. AS
Spain is not part to the agreement
which was designed to aid in keeping
the peace of the world during the
postwar transition period. No such
direct action is probable at Madrid.
The order in Belgium was placed
with the Fabrique Rationale d. Arms
at Liege, probably under the direction
of Candido Aguilar Mexican Minister
of Foreign Affairs and Present Carran-
za's son-in-law, who went to Europe
recently after stopping here and plac-
ing wreath on George Washington's
tomb at Mount Vernon.
The orders in Spain, which included
rifles. millions or rounds of ammunit-
ion and large number of machine
guns, were negotiated through the
Mexican Minister there, Eleseo Are
dondo, former Ambassador to the Unit
ed States and President Carranza's
nephew
The Spanish munitions, according to
information in the hands of the Gov
ernment, began passing into Mexico
more than a year ago, while the
European war was still on and in vi
olation of the Interallied embargo,
Rifles and ammunition ad some sample
machine-guns are reported to have
passed Havana on their way to Mexico
as late as June of this year. For
later shipments, cargo space had been
reserved for Oct 10, on Holland
American Line steamers sailing out
of Antwerp ,and further space had
been reserved for Tampico, Vera
Cruz and Puerto Mexico on Dec. 3.
The United States has been deny
ing shipments of arms and ammunition
into Mexico for many months for the
reason that they generally fell into
the hands of bandits and often were
used against AMERICANS. Soon after
the end of the war the Mexican Gov
ernment asked for the release of mu-
nitions bought in this country in 1877,
but it was refused.
