Connie could not count the number Of

The COW must be regarded as a sort

materials given her in the form Of food
and works them over into milk. If the
supply Of proper materials is small, the

that, # the award had been so low as
to compel consideration of other
means of redress, the men could have
struck only at the risk of injuring

The statement continues in part:

WOULD SAVE LAW
WAR SHATTERED
World Court Jurists Favor
Series of International
Conferences.

THE HAGUE. July 22.-Along with
its other projects. the jurists' con-
ference, which is endeavoring to es-
tablish a permanent court of interna-
tional justice, will send to the council
of the league of nations a recon-
mendation that it call a series of con-
ferences on international law, SINH
lar to those held at The Hague before
the war. Invitation to participate
would be extended to all countries
which previously were represented,
including the central powers.
The purpose Of these conferences
would be to reaffirm the principles of
international law shattered during
the war. and also to broaden the
fundamental principles of and make
arrangements for new international
agreements.
1t is recommended that four unof-
fetal law societies should make plans
for the first conference and submit
them to their respective countries.
Among the societies mentioned are
the American Institute of Interna-
tlonal Law and the International Law
Association.
The recommendation for the confer
ences originated with Elihu Root, the
American representative on the
jurists' conference, and was strongly
supported by Aaron Descamps the
Belgian jurist. 1t was adopted in
principle this morning.

WATER POWER CAN NEVER
ENTIRELY REPLACE COAL
Federal Legislation Important Step in
Fuel Conservation-Water Power Bill
Means Increasing Electricity Use.

Dr. Charles P. Steinmetz, chief con-
sulting engineer of the General Elec-
trio Company, discussing the recent
passage Of the federal water power
bill. which throws open to commercial
DEVELOPMENT untold wealth of hydro
electric energy, warns against too
general belief that the power of our
water may ever completely replace the
use of coal and oil for power purposes.
On the basis of an exhaustive in
vestigation, he states that while the
new federal legislation is a big for
ward step in fuel conservation, the
maximum possible hydraulic energy of
the nation, which he estimates at the
tremendous figure OF 10000, 900 horse
power, is little more than the total
energy which we now produce from
coal, and is about equal to the present
total energy consumption of the coun-
try, including all forms of energy.
Idea Must Remain Dream.
This is rather startling" said DR..
SteinmetZ. ut means that the idea
that when coal once begins to fail we
may use the water power of the coun-
try as the source of energy. is and
must remain a dream, because if all
our potential water powers were de-
veloped and every raindrop used, it
would not supply our present energy
demand.
Thus hydraulic may and should
supplement that of coal, but can never
entirely replace it as a source of
energy. This probably is the strong
est argument for efforts to increase
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1920-07-23

the efficiency Of our methods of burn
ing coal.
obviously. of course, we can never
hope and develop more than a part of
the maximum potential energy of the
water and I merely cite these figures to
show that our water power resources. If
developed to theoretical perfection,
would still fall short of meeting the
energy demands of the country today"
Other engineers estimating the effect
of the federal bill claim that it will
open up at least 100000 horsepower
of additional electric energy, and that
already applicat lions for the use of $780,
900 horsepower have been filed in Wash
ington. The development of federal wa
ter power sites will, in addition to this,
open up 1000 miles of rivers to naviga-
ton.
Water Power Undeveloped.
The total present developed water
power in the United States exceeds T.
900. 900, horsepower with 100000 still
undeveloped and potential water power
capable of development amounting to
31,000.000 horsepower
Students of water power distribution
declare that in six states-California,
Oregon, Washington, Montana, Wyoming
and 1daho--60 per cent of the hydro
electric energy of the country is al
ready conferred.
The present use Of water power saves
the country upward Of $4,000, 900 tons of
coal annually.
the operation of the new bill, which
permits of the development of water
power under federal ownership or juris-
diction, will depend upon the degree of
attraction which the new legislation
holds for private capital.
