derwood. II now understand it is the
policy of the Water Power Commits
sion to survey and review the entire
system of rivers in the United States
before it grants a single permit. If
the commission now intends to block
the processes of development of the
waterpowers by undertaking a survey
that will require another Is years to
complete, I shall certainly resist ap-
preparations along that line. 1 am
willing to give the commission the ap-
preparations needed to give. reasonable
opportunity to perform its functions
and serve the people, but if it is to
allow ambition to run away with it
and cause further delay I am OPP
posed to it."
Senator Jones said he agreed with
everything the Alabama senator said,
but said he did not wish to give the
commission excuse for further delay

dreams of Congress when the act Gre
ating it was passed.
This bureau refuses to grant per-
mits where the technical evidence is
before it-whd,e, indeed it needs no
technical evidence. 1t wants to apply
to little streams a general compre-
hensive red tape system. It is trying
to see how it may not act rather than
effectively acting and facilitating de-
velopment of water power. I have
had many complaints against the in
activity and bureaucratic methods of
this organization. 1t is standing there
doing nothing except interposing OBJ
stacles to the development of water
power. We ought to incorporate in
this bill an amendment requiring the
commission to act upon every applica-
ton made within not exceeding six
months. As it is now, they do not
act and they never will act"
But we have got to give them the
force" said Senator Jones.

Strange heavenly things are happening in the skies over Ju- neau these nights. Several nights ago a rainbow in the sky was seen, circling over the end of Douglas Island.

This star was in the sky from early evening until sun-up this morning. The star changed colors as varied and as quickly as the Northern Lights.

Verdun.

Paris.-The fifth anniversary
of the date-June 23rd-which
marked the end of the German
assaults on Verdun, was celebrat-
ed with all so1emnity and by all
faiths in the Virgin" fortress.
The first service was held in what
remains of the Synagogue, to
which the official Delegation,
comprising: Mr.. Poincare, Gen
eral Nivelle, and other distin-
guished personages proceeded on
arrival at the station. The syna-
gogue was destroyed in the war
of 1879, and was rebuilt a few
years later. 1t was again a vic
tim of the German bombardment
in the Great War, and now pre-
sents a tragic spectacle. For the
first time since it's partial derno1i-
ton it was once more used for
public worship. The service was
conducted by the Rabbi of
Rheims, the Rabbi of Verdun
having been killed while visiting
a hospital which was being
shelled by the Germans.

Lloyd Ship Company Asks Guar
antees From Palestine Ad-
ninistration

Vienna q. T. Alt is re-
ported from Trieste that the
Lloyd Steamship Company has
refused to carry Jewish passen-
gers to Palestine unless the Pal
estine Administration guarantees
that all such passengers will be
peacefully landed either at Jaffa
or Alexandria.
In a statement published by
the directors of the Company, it
is explained that the Arabs
threatened the Company's direc-
tor in Jaha that if a single Jew
ish passenger be landed there the
Arabs would destroy the Lloyd
offices in Palestine and slaughter
the officers Of any Lloyd ship
that entered the Jaffa harbor. On
learning of this matter, the Gov
ernor of Jaffa called prominent
Arab leaders and demanded that
the threat be withdrawn. His
efforts were not successful.
Major Morris, chief of the Pal
