The Star is informed that the At
lantic Coast Line agent in Ocala has
made requisition for material to re-
build the crossings at the principal
streets. 1t has been almost four
years since these crossings have been
repaired, and they are in a dilapidated
condition. 1t is the Stars opinion
that the council should ask the rail-
road to take up the extra track be-
tween Oklawaha avenue and South
Third street. 1t is of no use to the
railroad, and it makes it more diff
cult to keep the street and crossings
in condition. The council should re-
quire the railroad to either remove
this track or pave the street from Ok
lawaha to South Third. Whoever now
crosses it in car or carriage receives
a very unpleasant jolting.

was made. The difficulties proved far
greater than were expected, and at
Nero's death the work was abandon
ed. In 1881 a French engineering
company was awarded a contract to
complete the work but it was not
finihsed until 1898 when Queen Olga
Of Greece formally opened the canal
by cutting a ribbon with a golden
pair of scissors.
The canal is seventy feet wide with
a minimum depth of twenty-six feet.
At one point the cut is 287 feet deep,
almost as deep as the Culebra Cut
in Panama. 1t is without locks, be-
ing d sea level canal throughout.
Owing to the difference in heights
of the tides on the opposite sides of
the Corinthian peninsula, the current
through the canal is usually very
swift For this reason it is rather
dangerous for light craft, and there
fore seldom used by any, except mar
row ships with powerful engines.

THE AMERICAN
NAVY IN GREECE

The Corinth canal connects the
Cuffs of Corinth and the Saronic
gulf Though less than four miles
in length, it results in a saving of
over $50 miles in the journey from
the Adriatic to Censtantinople. 1t is
reported that Fernandez in 600 B. c.
first proposed such a canal, but his
engineers affirmed that one gulf was
higher than the other. and the priests
assured him that the anger of the
two oceans at being mingled would
result in the downfall of Corinth. AS
a substitute the Diolkos was built, a
flat stone road over which small boats
were carried on wooden rollers. The
cargo was unloaded and sent across
in carts.

PARIS, March s.-President Wilson'S
reply to the note sent him by the AL

tions that efforts be made to reach a
direct understanding between Italy and
Jugo-Slavia relative to the Adriatic
problem.
1t Is said that, should this step fail,
Mr. Wilson would be ready to sanction
any agreement satisfactory to the Ital-

be understood he regards the tentative
agreement Of December as the most
equitable solution Of the problem and
most consistent with previous Allied

LeUiathax, Deal

The Leviathan, formerly the
Vaterland and pride of Germany's
pre-war merchant fleet, was allo-
Gated last December by the United
States Shipping Board to The In
ternational Mercantile Marine.
Bainbridge Colby, recently norni-
mated to be Secretary Of State,
was then chairman of the board.
The operating agreement, which
was signed for the International
Merchant Marine by p. A. s..
Franklin, contains a clause that
gives this company an option on
the big vessel should the govern
ment decide to sell. :.
1t is estimated that it will cost
between $4,000, 900 and $7,000,0o
to reconvert the vessel to the
passenger service. The interior
fittings were ripped out when she
was placed in transport service.

1t became known in January that
the international Mercantile Marine
had submitted bids for the purchase of
gil thirty Of the former German liners,
John Barton Payne, chairman Of the
Shlpplng Board, announced, however,
that these bids would be rejected be-
cause the government had adopted q
policy prohibiting any single corpora

evidence of the desire Of the United

In that connection It is known that
the American State Department does

held that American recognition Of

Overhauling Curtailed
From December until February II

was going ahead with the work of
overhauling, which must be distin-
guished from "reconverting." The
overhauling included miscellaneous re-
pairs to the machinery, as it was de-
sired to have the vessel in readiness

included certain fuel oil tests. Also,
as agents of the Shipping Board, the

On February II the Shipping Board
telegraphed instructions to the /. NJ.

ping Board officials. For acting as

The order to shut down all work not

;. PARIS, March 6.-Anton Trumbitch,
the Jugo-Slav representative at the
peace conference, has decided to re-
main In PARIS pending the formulation
OF proposal by Italy for solution Of
tho Adriatic controversy. It is UNDER
stood that Italy will address such a
is not expected in Serbian offciai
circles that Premier Nitti's offer will be
Forthcoming before next week. Up to
the present no official indication has
been given to the Jugo-Slavs as to the
extent to which the Italians are pro-
pared to 60 in their efforts to reach a
settlement. The leaders Of the Jugo-
Slavs are skeptical whether Italy is
ready to back up her words with con-
cessions.
Nitti in Conciliatory Mood
One of the principal members Of the
Jugo-Slav delegation to the peace con-
ference, describing the attitude Of Pre-
mier Nitti at the recent London ses-
sions, said to-day:
premier Nitti certainly exhibited q
most conciliatory spirit in all his deal
ingss with. us, but he didn't show the
concessions. do not count his project
for the demilitarization Of the eastern
side Of the Adriatic, because, in fact,
this is no concession at all, If he
should offer also to demilitarize the
italian side Of the Adriatic it would be
another matter, but this he does not
propose.
"1talys proposal for demilitarization
simply amounts to this: Italy and Jugo-
Slavia are like two boxers, one on
either side of the Adriatic ring. Al

The members of the Jugo-Slav dege-
cation feel that as the result of the
prominent part being played by Italy
in European affairs since Premier Nitti
took charge of the government the
Jugo-Slav cause may suffer neglect.
