GERMAN DEMONSTRATORS AND THREATS

pHe gave deep sigh; I the iron enter into his sou!" exclaimed of the characters in sternes Sentimental Journey and those words must have 1ecurred the minds of millions of people who read sthe loud outcries of the German people upon hearing the terms of peace.
 For the very first time in all this ghastly busi- that naughty, self-righeous and obtuse people has come adequate realization of the whirl- wind it must reap from the wind it has sown. It has heard deep sigh and have seen the iron enter into its very soul
 Small wonder that it utters cry of despair! Through all these years it had fed itself with illus ions; has dsclaimed it's guilt; has denied it's re- sponsbility; has refused to acknowledge itself to be defeated; has been insensible to the sufferings of the nations which it has insulted and tortured has believed that some friendly Power would pro tect it from from justice has hid its head in the sand, like ostrich, and refused to behold the slow but resstless approach of the senger of doom.

 Undoubtedly there is danger to be apprehended from despair deep. The possibility of combna- tion with the haf-crazed Bolsheviki of Russia is not to be recklessly ignored The shame of defeat which cannot any longer be denied the conscious ness or loss of prestige which perhaps, can never be regained; the realization of the agony of long years. of economy and self-denal to pay de,t which threatens to crush their national existence are influences which may easily drive nation to deeds, of madness
 But we predict that. while the iron is entering the soui or the German people, ray of reason will penetrate its mind It will see that resistance must De Tn vain; that with its army scattered and it's navy imprisoned in foreign harbors; ~1ts people impoverished; its colonies wrested away by force tbe sentiment of the world against it. conquerng army ready to spring across its borders and a victorious fleet prepared to close its harbors and storm it's peo ple' II must bow it's neck and pass under the rod

 Cities along the Atlantic shore line of the Unit ed States have been hearing from time to time about Chicago's hopeful expectation of deepened channel way to the Mississippi river and to the Gulf. There is such open way at present, though only for shallow draft barges. There are two other schemes for making barge routes from the big lakes southward to the navigable flowing into the Mississippi river, to which atten- ton has, not been so frequently directed
 There is a $250,000 Congressional appropriation to defray the cost of a survey for barge canal extend from Lake Erie to a connection with the Ohio river. Both Pittsburgh and Cincinnati are in terested in this proposed survey but there is not community of interest. The that Cincinnati wants is different from that which Pittsburgh is seeking-the nearest points of approach of the two routes fully 200 miles apart. Pittsburgh wants bargeway that would reach Lake Erie Erie Cincinnati would connect the Miami river which flows into the Ohio with the Sandusky river which flows into Lake Erie at Toledo
 There seems to be something of a race on be- tween the two cities to which will be the first to comply with the conditions and take advantage Of the survey fund. The Central Inland waterways Association is backing the Cincinnati proposition. Either scheme, there is to anticipate would be immensely costly for the digging of twelve foot bargeway. The two rivers which it is proposed of connect to each other, but the prongs ot each, for distance of hundred miles so, are mere brooks or dry bottoms except after rain floods
