posed to Disannexation
Of Robertsdale.

t2). Went on record as opposed
to the dissanexation Of the fourth
ward (Robertsdale) and in favor Of
the amalgamation of Hammond
Whiting and East Chicago.
The contribution to the hospital
for crippled children came after an
appeal to the sympathies Of the
members by Judge V. S. Reiter. The
club having pledged itself to do all
in IT'S power for der-privileged
children accepted the opportunity to
make handsome donation.
The action against disannexation
of Robertsdale was taken after At
torney w. J. McAleer had told the
club that it was claimed in Roberts
dale that z bill would be introduced
into the next legislature to disannex
that portion Of Hammond 50 that
ii could annex with Whiting.
Attorney McAleer urged the club to
interview each candidate for the
state senate and the house Of repre-
sentatives and to oppose any candl-
date that signined that he favored
the Instrumentation Of Robertsdale
The matter was referred to the pub
lie affairs committee which reported
back favoring Mr.. McAieer's motion
and it was passed unanimously. The
Kiwanis club viii at once question
candidates regarding this matter
and the clubs influence will be used
against any candidate who pr opposes
to secure legislation for the disan-
nexation Of the fourth ward.

MICHIGAN AVENUE
SEWER REMARKABLE
ENGINEERING JOB
A. G. Proudfoot is Break
ing All Records for
Construction.

The intersecting sewer now being
laid by A. c. Proudfoot on Michigan
avenue in Hammond is such an ex-
ample Of good engineering that a
committee cf engineers from Louis
Vile came to Hammond recently to
look the job over. And city officials
all over the region are interested in
IL.
It is costing half a million dollars
but It will last forever and drain d
city three times ds large as Ham
r.ond from the Grand Calumet riv-
er south.
The largest concrete sewer tiles
ever made are beng laid seventeen
to twenty-five feet under ground.
Two of these tiles would make q
garage.
The largest are eleven feet in
diameter on the exterior and have
a twelve inch she'll.
The most modern equipment is be-
ing used and the daily average is
100 feet Of sewer laid each day
excavating. draining. construction
and refiling complete. In six weeks
the work has progressed west from
Calumet avenue to oakley avenue
and by November 10 il will have
reached Holman street which is the
western terminus. The work then
will resume at Calumet avenue east
to Columbia avenue. north on Col
umbia avenue to the south bank Of
the river and then a tunnel will be
laid forty feet under the river to
the north bank OF the river where
the sewage Will be pumped to the
surface, the solids removed and
the ceansed water released into the
river.
INTERCEPrs ALL sEwEEs
The Michigan avenue sewer starts
at Hoi-nan street at depth of sew
enteen feet and continues on 500
per cent grade to a depth of TWEEN
size of the tile starts at Holman
street at seven feet exterior to eleven
feet at Columbia avenue. The sew
er intercepts all sewers serving the
territory from the G1Tnd Calumet
river south to the city limits. Until
IL is complete the intercepting con-
nections will be secured by bulkheads
river uninterrupted but when 1t Is
complete the bulkheads will be re-
moved and the sewage intercepted
and carried TO the settling beds on
the north bank of the river at Col
umbia avenue.
Proudfoot has built an elevated
railroad known as the Potter trench
Ing method, for excavating and flll-
ing in Dirt that is removed in the
excavation is carried in the big
iron buckets back to where the
sewer has been completed and is
dumped for reflling. Thus the two
processes are carried on simultane
ously
The tile are being made on the
ground and the biggest ones which
weigh nine tons each are handled by
a twenty ton locomotive crane. They
are too big to be shipped
THOROUGHLY SYSTEMATIC
Another remarkable feature or
the work as carried on by Mr.. Proud
foot is the system of electric pumps
which keep the excavations dry. If
this intricate system failed to work
the excavations would fill up in a
few minutes.
It is considered by engineers and
contractors a splendid piece of work
that Proudfoot is doing In laying
100 feet of sewer Of this magnitude
in day he has established a new
record. He expects to complete the
entire fob by February first If the

THE BRITISH BATTLE LINE.

The British feet and army. confront
ing the Turks again at the Dardanelles
and fOrbidding Renal to cross the
straits, is fighting the battle of civiliza-
ton, and fighting it so far alone.
That is admirable. as regards the i'm
mediate effect. Britain may stop KEN
ais threatened invasion of Europe and
thus quell a big menace. But much de-
ponds on the motive.
If Britain is standing guard on those
straits in order to dominate them here
after and make the Sea of Marmora a
British lake and Constantinople a Brit
ish trade capital, with a new Gibraltar
on the tip of the Gallipoli peninsula,
that is matter which the other powers
will have something to say about And
it is largely the impression given of
such intent that makes France so jeal-
Gus of British activity in the straits and
so unwilling to cooperate.
That great waterway between the
Mediterranean and the Black sea, where
the land trade of Europe and Asia
crosses and Russia finds a southern out
let to the sea. should be held in trust
for all nations. This was contemplated
in the settlement made after the big war,
but the British have virtually monopO-
lized the control that was meant to be
international
1t looks like a proper job of admins
tration for the league of nations, or
some other disinterested body, rather
than of one power alone, or of any two
or three. If Great Britain tries to
"hOg" the Turkish straits, she will in
vite another great war, even though she
prevents one at the moment
