UNIFIED STATE IN GERMANY IS
 NOT EXPECTED

Berlin, Jan. 26. The suggestion originating in the Prussian Diet that the National government sound the sentiments of the federated states on the question of creating a unified German state has aroused opposition in Bavaria and Saxony The pro- posa1 was introduced by the Coalition Bloc of the Prussian Diet.
 The press dispatch from Munich says the majority of the Rayaria1, people are unalterably opposed to any scheme that tends to obliterate the time honored prerogatives of the state.
 In a general debate on the issue in the Bavarian Diet, the parties. with the exception of the majorities and the Independents, opposed the scheme. The Ultra Left Radicals however, declared that they uncon- dittonally favored it and requested the Bavarian government to direct their efforts in that direction.
 The Saxony Ministry President Herr Gradnauer, expressed the beliet that the present moment is not the time for the execution of a plar which purposes to wipe out the DO. litical frontiers of the federatei states. He said he believed that the Berlin official quarters were made quately posted in respect to the Soutf German opposition to the nasty cen tra1ization of all authority in Berlir | and that such disincEnation would serve as a check to the aspirations O.

HOLLAND STARTS
 WORK ON zuYDER ZEE EXCLAMATION
One of Worlds Greatest En. gineering Feats-Will
 Cost $88, 300, ,OOO.
THOUSANDS OF ACRES
 WILL BE RECOVERED
New Lands Will Be Placed Under Expert Cultiva-
 tion.

The Hague, Jan. 26.-Work Is to begin this year on the retaining of the Zuyder Zee, one of the worlds greatest engineering projects by which 1t is proposed to restore to Ho1- land within 35 years what was once hers but was taken away by the storms of many centuries.
 When the work Is finished, not only the original land will be restored but many thousands of acres which al- ways have been beneath the sea will be ready for cultivation.
 According to pre-war estimates the entire work of retaining the Zuyder Zee would have cost approximately $S8, 100000, but, with the increased cost of labor and materials i'll the past six years, 1t is now believed the cost will be well in excess of $125, ,000,- 900. The work will be done and paid for by the state, through special loans, and the state, through rental of the land reclaimed, expects the scheme to pay for itself within a few years and thereafter yield 8 hand some revenue.
 The total amount of land to be re- claimed will be S27 square miles which will constitute 8 twelfth prov ince of Holland, capable of support HE d pOpuldllOl1 Ol oUV,oVU, ctIo Wl1cI several cities of ancient trading fame are expected to be restored tn commercial importance.
 The engineering work is now well under way.
 Centuries ago, at the beginning o1 the Christian era when the Romans had their settlements in Holland much of the space now occupied by the Zuyder Zee was land and the south part of the present sea was g lake called F1evo. Northwest tenn pests swept the North Sea washing away the tract of dry land between the sea and the lake. One large sha1. low body of water-the Zuyder Zee was formed.
 The towns situated on it's banks throve as the merchantmen came in, to their ports. But, as ships became larger and of deeper draft traffic was diverted to higher seas, leaving the once famous towns on the Zuy der's shores mere fishing villages which they are now. while Amster. dams commerce came to her throuai canal leading direct to the Nortl Sea.

Zee. explained the plans to The As- sociated Press correspondent He is now a member of the State Council which will carry out the work
 ''The first thing to do," said Dr. Beekman, "is to construct a gigan- tic dike to keep out the North Sea. This will be 30 miles long, stretch ing from Wieringen to the Tristan coast, where the water ranges in depth from 33 to II feet. It will be everywhere 16 to IT feet above the sea level. There will be a double track railway on the top of the dike. Its construction will take nine years, and its cost by pre-war estimates, will be more than s2O,OOO.000.
 ''The total surface to be reclaimed is 827 square miles. There will re- main a lake of 500 square miles, which will act as 8 reservoir during the periods when, owing to North western storms, the waters of the riv- CT Ysse1 and of the canals cannot be enptied into the North Sea. The water of the lake will be let out into the North Sea through five great sluices at the Wieringen end of the dike.
 Most of the land to be reclaimed now lies 13 feet beneath the sea level Part of 1t is expected to be dry within IA years. as pumping out will begin as soon as the dike is completed The last of the land is expected to be dry within 35 years"

 "In reference to your suggestion about cider. Under our rules and regulations, and as-I understand it in the law also, the provision is clearly made by which cider is placed in ex- actly the same class as other bever- ages namely that it must not contain more than one-half of 1 per cent. of alcohol if it is to be sold on the mar ket as a beverage.

New Low Levels Are Reached by New

The market opened easy at a de-

there was also considerable trade
