Harrison Makes Survey.
William B. Harrison. assistant
engineer in the U. S. Engineers Of
flee, has just returned from a trip
through the countryside to investi-
gate the Lee project having made
preliminary survey as the basis
OF report which will be submitted
to Congress January l.
Harrison was at Berryville, Va,
during the past week where he con-
ferred with A. Moore, jr., formerly
general counsel of the Northern
Virginia Power Company, of Win
chester, Va, which owns an i'm
mense water and steam-power cleo
trio plant at Millville.
Harrison said last night that the
four dams Of the project would call
for an inundation of from 5000 to
10000 acres of farm land for each
dam, and that 1t would back water
up the Shenandoah Valley to River
ton, distance of almost twenty
five miles. The water in this case
would cover the bridges now span
ming the river at castleman's Ferry
and Berry's Ferry.
Land Owners to Fight.
Land owners in the two counties,
particularly those living or owning
property near the Shenandoah River,
are said to be keenly interested in
the project and in some cases op-
posed to the acquiring of their prop
erty. Officials of towns in the vi
cinity have declared they will re-
sist efforts which may be made by
the government to take their land
for the water power scheme.
Harrison reported that most of
the property needed for the devel-
opment is farm land and the project
would not directly affect any viii
lagos of any size. He said the peo-
pie of Wichita, Va. were in favor
of the. plan. but that some of the
West Virginia property holders, es-
! pecially at Romney, were already
voicing their opposition.

PAY UP IN FULL,
FRANCE INSISTS
Opposes Any Modification
of Versailles Treaty
On Indemnities.
By wYTHE WILLIAMS.
CWashinton Herald Public Ledger
Service. Special Cable DispatchD

Service. Special Cable Dispatch.)
Paris. Oct. 10. The matter of
reparations seems to have resolved
into a clear-cut question of whether
the allies will be paid in full for
the damages wrought by the Ger
mans or whether they will modify
the letter and spirit Of the treaty
Of Versailles and let Germany
down easy At present il is a
three sided debate between France.
Belgium and England, and the visit
today of the Belgian premier, NJ.
Delacroix, to Lloyd George is ex-
pected to have results favorable to
the Franco Belgian point OF view.
France will insist on full repara-
tions from Germany, as provided in
the Versailles treaty, and Belgium
will stand with France on this in
depreciation. But it is pointed out
on this side OF the Channel that
England is disposed to break away
from holding Germany uown to the
complete indemnity. The French
declare England would derive great
er benefit by an early settlement
OF the German payment and argue
that this early settlement" must
only mean easy terms or a modified
indemnity; that England believes
that with the fixing of the Ger
man debt will come general relier
for the European financial situa-
ton and a resumption OF commerce
and trade relations as before tho
war But France analyses the Eu-
ropean economic recovery in a diff
ferent way. The first point in the
French argument is that Germany
is still a strong, still a powerful
nation potentially, and that she is
fully able to pay-that weakening
of the allied demands would only
hasten her recovery as a Central
European power and an ultimate
menace to the entente and peace.

BY DR.. WILLIAM c. FOWLER,
District Health Onicer.

Tuberculosis is the most frequent
and widespread OF all communics-
BILE diseases. 1t is estimated that
about 10000 persons die each year
in the United States from this dis
ease. The worldwide crusade now
being waged against tuberculosis is.
however, producing excellent re-
suits, and the death rate has been
greatly reduced.
tuberculosis is more prevalent
among the poor than the we'll to do,
and the prevention of the disease
is, therefore, largely a sociological
problem. Poor food, bad housing
conditions, exhaustion and worry
lower the vitality and thus render
the individual more susceptible TO
, the infection. This being true, il
is, therefore. most essential that
the bodily resistance be maintained
at the highest level by the use OF
good and nourishing food. warm
clothing during the winter months,
wholesome recreation in the open
air, and a proper amount of rest
and sleep.
The principal source OF infection
is in man himself, although the dis
ease sometimes results from the use
Of milk from tuberculous cattle
1 The germs Of the disease are found
in large numbers in the body oi
. persons suffering from consumption
and are given off in the secretions
especially during the act Of cough
ing.
Infection Through Food.
The infection may also be con.
tracted through food contaminated
/ by soiled hands or objects, and in
numerous other ways. Towels and
| drinking glasses used in common
are also sources of infection, The
/ infection may also be cOmmuni-
Gated, particularly in children, By
| the common use of pencils, toys
pipes, etc. Statistics show that the
infection in many cases enters the
body during the early years of life
and may lie dormant until the re.
sistanCe of the body is lowered
through disease or lack of proper
food and home conditions.
The following preventive meas
ures should be adopted:
Avoid close contact with person!
in the active stage Of the disease
Increase the bodily resistance BY
securing plenty of fresh air, gooc
food. proper amount of rest. anc
attention to personal and home hy
giene: that is, live a clean, norma
and temperate life, avoid worry

Advantage to Spectators.
This system practiced extensively,
government officials say, was bet
ter even than sales within the trade,
for it obviated the necessity Of the
speculators ever releasing their grip
upon the coal which they had once
obtained. and enabled them to take
immediate advantage of any sharp
rises that the market showed.
Congestion of freight terminals
was a feature of the dodge that
played almost as important a part
in the bearing it had on the public
pocketbook as the advance in coal
prices. There were many occasions
during the shortage in New York
and nearby cities when yards were
almost choked with coal so that
the movement Of freight was great
ly retarded. At New York City
the spectators made much use of
barges, which form part Of the
equipment of all the railroad COM
panies. From reports which have
reached the government it is es-
timated that at one time more than
one-half of the normal barge equip
ment of the railroads entering New
York was tied up by spectators
and the free flow Of the necessities
of life was retarded by just that
amount.
