Head of American Navy In

CoblenZ
By Associated Press

Coblcnz, April 1S.-From a para
pet of the fortress Ehrenbreitstein
more than 400 feet above the juno
ton of the Moselle and Rhine, Sec
retary Josephus Daniels, of the
United States Navy. had his first
glimpse yesterday of American ma
rines on duty in Germany. Patrol
boats were darting back and forth
among the barges and tugs on the
river, the American flag streaming
from the stern mast of each little
boat.
At the point where the Moselle
joins the Rhine stands a heroic
statue of Emperor William /, said
to be the largest of its kind in
Germany. Beyond the statue there
are great piles of lumber which
aroused Secretary Daniels curios-
ity as he looked down upon the ac-
tivity of CoblenZ. which has been
occupation of the city. 1t was ex-
planned to him that the lumber was
intended for new buildings which
will serve as recreation centers and
barracks for the American soldiers
of the army of occupation.
Mr.. Daniels was taken through
the underground passages of the
Ehrenbreitstein fortress, which were
built partly by labor paid for by
20,000.000 francs which the Ger
mans eXacted from France. and was
shown the accomm odations of
American artiuerymen. where but

Would Make River
in Canada Navigable
by Building Locks

North Bay. Ontario.-The Canad-
ian Government will be asked to
finance a p~oiect to build three locks
on French river, turn the river prac-
tically into Il canal and give access
TO large Great Lakes vessels to Lake
Nipissing from. Georgian Bay.
The project which has the en-
dorsement of the people of ontario,
would reduce the price of coal inn
ported from the United States to the
region about North Bay, at the
northeastern end of Lake Nipissing.
Saw-mills on Lake Nipissing would
sp'-a $1.7j per thousand feet in
y hit charges on lumber to Detroit
"A, Tonawanda. transportation of
paper from Ontario pulp mills would
lie reduced by 81 80 a ton to Buffalo,
Detroit and Chicago. The total saw
ing in freight charges of Ontario
forest products and their manufac7, :,
ture. it is estimated, would be $4O,-
100000.
The plan provides for three locks
in French river, one at Big Chau-
diere, one at Five Mile Rapids and
another at Dallas. This would en-
able the largest lake ships to pass
from Georgian Bay into Laye Nipis-
sing and across that water to North
Bay. There the vessels would have
direct connection with two of. the
transcontinenta lines of the Canad-
ian National Railway system and
with the Timiskiming and Northern
road. None of these railways now
has any connection with Georgian
Bay ports.
The plan also contemplates har-
Messing the rapids of French river
to- generate electric power, the in
come from which, it is estimated
would yield more than enough to
pay the interest on the coast of the
entire waterway improvement.

Now that spring has come and
many of us are drawn out into the
warm sunshine for a walk into our

tion's most valuable assets. We Will

or bush; the Nesper Sparrow with
his sweet song and outer white tail

nut crown and dark spot on his
breast, and our little Chipping Spar

Sparrow sing his pretty carol YOU

TWENTY THOUSAND DOGS
YET TO BE DEMOBILIZED

London. The demobiization of
dogs will be a much larger business
than was at first anticipated.
An officers was speaking recently
to an official of the Royal Society for
the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals,
who estimated that there are quite
10000 dogs attached to the British
armies on the continent. Some were
left behind by the retreating popula-
tion, others were given to our men
to take care of, and good many were
taken to the scene of war by our
officers and men.
1T is not thought that the authori-
ties here will permit all these dogs
to come back" said the RS.P.C.A.
official. "I think the officers will de-
eide, any future date, am prepared
to give dogs back will have to show.
good cause for doing so.
THE dogs will be brought across
by officers of the royal army veterin-
airy corps. The cost of carriage to
our ports will be borne by the gov
ernment. Our officials will meet
them at the ports and take them to
Hackbridge, Surrey, where. in con-
Junction with the dogs home at
Battersea. we are erecting 500 new
kennels for a start. OF course there
will have to be q great many more
than that. -.
Government quarantine fees
amount to about fla dog for the
six months, food representing E13 of
this. Our special appeal for funds
to meet the expenses at Hackbridge
is for 100000. 1t will cost us all
that. 1t has been thought advisable
to ask those men who can do so to
pay small part of the expense them
selves, probably f2. If they are really
attached to their pets they will be
glad to do so, and 1t is assumed that
officers will be ready to pay for their
own dogs.

Preparedness Vital With
the Grain Separator

Enormous waste of grain and
much loss of time result every
thrashing season, because of the IN
efficient work of thrashing machines
that have not been thoroughly re-
paired and put in working condition
before the beginning of the working
season. Defective parts are over
looked, or neglected in the hope
that they will last through the sea-
son. When they fail in the midst
of the thrashing season, serious loss
es often result before repairs can be
made. In or just before the thrash
ing season, new parts are difficult to
get promptly, because of the rush
of orders from many who have
procra stinated.
AS soon after the close of the
thrashing season as possible, says
the United states Department of
Agriculture, the separator should be
oVerhauled, necessary repairs and
adJustm ents made, and needed parts
ordered. This not only will prevent
loss of time and money during the
next working season but will length
en- the life of the machine.
A bulletin has just been issued
as No. in the series on Care and
Repair of Farm Implements" Civ
ing detailed instructions as to how
to "lay by" grain separators. The
discussion OF every part of the ma
chine is minute, constituting a hand
book for the overhauling and repair
of grain separators between seasons
1t is contribution from the Bureau
of Public Roads and is issued as
Farmers Bulletin 1886. Taken in
connection with Farmers Bulletin
991, which treats of operating ad-
justments, it is believed to consti-
tute a complete thrasherman's guide.
