CENTER OF HUN WAR POWER
Ruhrort, With Its Splendid River Har-
Dor. Really the Most Important
City of Germany.

Ruhrort, which had the largest riv-
er harbor in Europe, and which in
cluGed the Ruhr basin, was the power
plant of Germany's former Industrial
machine and mighty war engine.
Between the Rhine and Ruhr is
Duisburg, city of rolling mills, found
ries and factories. This beehive of in
dustry was once university town,
but the school was supplanted by fac
tories. Duisburg is connected with the
Ruhr by canal.
Farther up the Ruhr is Witten, i'm
portant not only for its steel, but also
for beer, soap and chemicals. The
Ruhr basin coal fields not only were
important to Germany because of their
heavy production, but because they
alone were accessible for water i'm
portation of ores. A canal connected
Dortmund. a city of the Ruhr basin,
with the Ems river, thus affording an
outlet to the North sea at Emden. The
Ruhr was made navigable from the
Rhine to Witten, some 35 miles, by
means of locks.

STONES KEEP THEIR SECRET
Restoration Of Stonehenge Has Re-
veaIed Nothing New of Interest
to the Antiquarian.

The restoration of Stonehenge has
revealed fresh evidence as to the orig
inal building of the famous circle
There are indications that the entire
monument was surrounded by cir
Gle Of at least 40 stones, not one of
which remains today.
The Office Of works, In conjunction
with the society of antiquaries, is
overhauling the monument, replacing
the fallen stones and exploring the
site. Excavations have revealed SOCK
cts for number of stones that are
no longer in existence, but history
cannot account for their absence.
During the excavations a number
Of hammer stones, chisels and burnt
bones were found, also many articles
of more modern origin. scraps of Ro-
man remains, pennies and farthings Of
varying date even up to the present
time. The places where these coins
were found are problem in them
selves. Why, for example, should a
half-penny of George III be found
deeper in the earth than a farthing
Of James I?
A new map of the monument is to
be drawn and preserved in the Anti
quaries museum, but the object Of the
excavations, the discovery of the orr
gin and purpose of the famous monu-
ment, is still unsolved by the recent
work.-London Times.

WANTS ACTION
BY CITY COUNCIL
A. D. Warner Resents Failure OF
City Body 70 Adjust Matters
Promptly.

A. D. Warner, chairman OF tho Con-
scrvation and Fire Prevention Committee
of the Chamber of Commerce believes
City Council should speed up in its action
on the city fro department situation. In a
statement issued today he said:
Naturally it is a matter OF keen disap-
pointment to mo and to the other citizens
who arc interested in Wilmington's hre
prevention to learn that CITY Councii
has not vet taken such action as Will
insure definitely in effective operation the
existing fire-fghting equipment. Ger
tainly, this is the only issue that our elect,
ed representatives in City Councli snouid
consider at this time in respect to their
dealings with the volunteer companies. L
have followed this controversy through
the newspapers and through conferences
with citv officials, and others, and am ut
terly unable to perceive any advantage to
be gained by waiting until midnight,
August 81, for the. solution OF this menanc-
ing deadlock. .L,,
aIt is INV earnest belief that this present
situation can be brought to a satisfactory
solution il the various contending parties
will place the interests of the public first
and foremost. :,
"Some weeks ago noted in the local
press that Mr.. Abrahams, chairman OF
the City Council Fire Committee, has re
ouestcd that Council take specific action
along the lines Of assuring the volunteer
companies, that additional necessary
amounts will be appropriated if the com
panies will sign the offered contracts,
and would submit statements OF operating
costs. There could be nothing fairer or
more businesslike than this suggestion.
Certainly the volunteer companies are
entitled to their reasonable operating
costs, and equally so they should substan-
tiate such. Some such common ground as
this very readily could be occupied by
CITY Council and the volunteer hremen,
and should be during the next two or
three DAYS, in order to relieve the minds
Of all of our citizens who dread the possibll-
itv of being without fire insurance, or
of having TO pay three OF four times their
present premium costs.
About week ago the Conservation
and Fire Prevention Committee, OF which
am chairman, addressed letter to Clty
Council urging immediate settlement.
i, seems To me that this letter voicing
as it does the opinion of the large tax
having membership, should receive more
consideration than mere reading on the
part of our representatives In City Council.
However, ! am not able to suggest
anv immediate solution as to Counclis
