SANTEE BRIDGE
IS PROGRESSING
CAUSEWAYS THROUGH SANTEE
SWAMP ARE BEGINNING TO
TAKE SHAPE.

TAKE SHAPE. (
The Charleston News and Courier,
Monday morning, says:
Reports indicate that the Santee
river bridge is progressing quite
steadily and those who have viewed
this gigantic highway project have
been profoundly impressed with its
magnitude. The bridge is about six
ty miles from Charleston, the span
connecting Williamsburg and Berze-
ley counties.
A considerable portion of the long
concrete bridge has been virtually
completed and the work of pouring
the concrete is going forward as
rapidly as weather and other condi-
tions permit. The building Of the
causeways through the Santee river
swamp is also progressing. It is
the hope Of the commissioners and
contractors that the project win be
finished before another year.
Some Of the work at the river has
been delayed because Of high water
for considerable period. Rains
have been heavy and frequent dur
ing the spring and summer, and the
excess moisture has interfered at and
near the stream.
The great Santee river project was
designed by Mr.. James L. Parker,
who has in hand the drawing Of the
plans and specifications for the con-
crete bridge across the Ashley riv-
er at the foot of Spring street, the
construction to cost about $500,000,
half of which will be supplied from
United States highway funds. The
Santee project will cost In the neigh
borhood Of $1,00O,000. q
The sturdy concrete piles and beams
at the Santee river look very much
like great pieces of highgrade timber,
the marks Of the molds being plain
ly impressed. These various uprights
and skeepers and all the other pieces
are thoroughly reinforced, of course,
and the bridge is capable of with
standing a tremendous weight.
In order to carry forward the
Santee project, it was necessary for
the contractors to build several tenn
porary railroads through the swamp
and across the stream, hauling many
hundreds of carloads of materials ov-
er these rails. To begin WITH. the
filling for the long causeways through
the swamp have called for an enor-
nous quantity Of dirt, the temporary
trestles being filed in.
Meanwhile, of course, plans for the
highways on both sides of the San
tee river are being built. Across
Berk county, a first-class high
way is under construction, consId-
erable portion of this being in active
use already. williamsburg county
has decided to build as direct high
way as practicable. The Charleston
county link is the Meeting street
road, which will have a concrete sur
face as far as the Blue House road,
which is near the Goose creek cause
way.
The true worth of the Santee riv-
er bridge is in its relation to a coast
al highway and the various LINKS in
this road chain are being made stead
lily. The last link to be completed
will be the bridge across the Savan-
nah river, arrangements for which
have been made. however. Within
the next eighteen months, the various
important streams on the coastal
highway will be spanned by concrete
bridges. The principal streams in
the route include the Santee, the
Ashley, the Edisto and the Savannah.

AMERICAN AID ID
 GERMANY COMES UP
Officials However, Refuse to Dis
 CuSS Details of Plans

Washington, Dec. 22.-The question of America extending aid toward the solution of the economic troubles or Europe has been brought sharply to the front with the emerging Of plan under which an American commits sion would determine what Germany should pay the allies in separations.
 The proposals so far has been dis cussed outside the formal channels Of diplomacy but an understanding in authoritative circles has developed through an exchange of views that the United States, Great Britain and Germany are willing to assent to the creation of such a commission. Pre- mier Poincare of France now has the plan before him and is expected to make a decision when he has con- cluded a series of conferences with in dustrial leaders of France and of Ger many.
 From the beginning of the present discussion officials of the Washington government have been unwilling to do more than to hint way was being sought to render aid toward a Europ- can settlement and so far have re- fused to discuss the plan for an American commission. Secretary Hughes last night, however, issued a brief statement which avoided any mention of details and said that the government" had presented no "pro- posal" on the subject. The method of sounding out all those directly in terested before any definite proposal is submitted with the full force of government authority is familiar one in negotiations of great delicacy

WILL HUNT GIANT
 SLOTH IN SOUTH
Prof, Riggs of Chicago Starts for
 Argentine on Trip

Buenos Aires, Dec. 22.-(By Associ- ated Press.)--Before Prof. Elmer s Riggs, Chicago paleontologist sailed for Patagonia today on a fossil ex. pedition for the Field Museum he was informed by Prof. Clementf Onelli, director of the Buenos Aires geological garden, that reports of pleslosaurus were still being received from the territory of Chubut, despite the failure of group of Argentine scientists to find the prehistoric crea- ture last spring.
 If I meet that, plesiosaurus," said Prof. Riggs to Prof. Onelli, "Tll put a lariat around his neck and lead him direct to the Buenos Aires zoo."
 The Chicakoan visited the Argen- tine paleontologian and heard from him the story of Patagonia's monster listening with interest to the account of the unsuccessful search of the An dean lake region where the creature was supposed to have been seen. Prof Riggs said that the data was very in- teresting but that it could not tempt him from his fossil hunt. The plans for this expedition, he asserted, were still too indefinite to allow him to state whether he would visit the re- puted haunts of pleslosaurus.
 A Giant Sloth.
 Prof Oneilli explained that the name plesiosaurus was a misnomer and that the creature he still believed alive in the Patagonia wilds is prob ably survivor of the race of giant sloths.
 Prof. Riggs and his companions will sail to Rio Gallegos, from which place they will proceed northward on horseback to search along the coast of the territory of Santa Cruz for fos- sils of the Niocene period which are known to exist there.
 Prof. Riggs said he expected to find the small fossilized ancestors of the Glyptodon which reached a gigantic size in the pleistocene period.
 The expedition will probably re- main in that region during the entire southern summer and will then pro- ceed northward and into the interior in a search for pleistocene specimens. The scientists plan to remain in Ar gentina for a year and a half.
 Prof. Riggs expressed regret that he had no opportunity to view the re- mains of the dinosaur with nine foot thigh bones which explorers of the La Plata Museum are recently re- ported to have unearthed.
