The New Delaware River Bridge.

The new Delaware River bridge, which
is to be built by the states of Pennsylvania
and New Jersey, and the city Of Philadel-
phia, is estimated to cost about S28. 87l, =
OOO This bridge will cross the Delaware
River starting from Franklin Square, Phil
adelphia, to Pearl and Second streets,
Camden, N j. 1t will be the longest sus-
pension bridge in the world.
The main structure is TO be OF the two
cable suspension type, crossing the river
with single span $50 feet long. from
center to center of the main piers. The
clearance above mean high water will be
135 feet over a width of 800 feet in the
center of the span.
The bridge and approaches are to be
built to provide single deck carrying an
unobstructed roadway for six lines of
vehicles, lines for surface cars, and
two lines for rapid transit, besides
which there will be Two ten-foot side
walks above the roadway. The width of
the main roadway, from curb to curb,
will be 81 feet. The total width of the
bridge will be l25 1-2 feet 1t is expect to
have the bridge completed by July 4, 1926,
in time for the 150th anniversary of the
Declaration of Independence, when great
international exposition will be held in

HOLD THEM TILL MATURITY

The war savings stamps and certifi-
Gates issued in 1918 will mature and be
paid next January. If held till then the
holder will receive the original cost plus
four and one-half per cent interest COM
pounded.
If turned over to the government be-
fore January next, for redemption the
owner will receive the original cost plus
only three and one half per cent interest
compounded.
If agperson bought war savings certifi-
Gates to the full limit allowed, the cost
was S825. If this investment were to be
redeemed this month by the Governm mt,
the holder would receive 1920 go Each
month for the remainder of this year he
would receive little more and in De-
cember he would receive S942 and on
January he would receive $1,000. This
method of payment was adopted for the
purpose of making it advantageous to
hold the certificates till maturity. From
the above figures it will be seen that
speculators can well afford to pay more
than the government will pay at any
time prior to next January and it is re-
ported that they are trying to trap the un-
wary and are actively engaged in an effort
to buy thrift stamps and certificates Tor
much less than they are really worth, by
aging they will give mo1e than the gov
ern ment will now pay. The best returns
from these securities are to be obtained
by holding them till next January.

THE RUsSO-GERMAN TREATY

On Easter Sunday treaty between
Russia and Germany was signed at Ra-
pello. At that time IL Russian delegates
and 80 German delegates had been ad-
mitted to the Genoa conference on equal
terms with the delegates from about 80
other nations and had considered with
them such political, economic and inter-
national matters as were then before
them for discussion. 1t had been known
for some time that there had been
frequent conferences between Russia
and Germany, but it was divuleed by
somebody that these two countries had
side. stepped the conference and had
made a treaty which they intended
should be and remain a secret pact. This
created a sensation because it was a
breach of faith, and showed the turpi-
tude of the Soviet government and that
of the Germans in glaring colors. Under
the terms of this treaty the German and
Russian governments agree to cancel re-
ciprocal war expenses and damages, and
all civil damages caused by the war.
Diplomatic and consular relations be-
tween the two countries are to be resum-
ed at once. As between the two coun-
tries the most-favored- nation principle
is guaranteed. The German government
declares itself ready to facilitate, as far
as possible, the execution of economic
contracts between private enterprises.
Under this provision Of the treaty the
Germans will get control of the lions
share of the oil fields and other valuable
resources. In the event of genera
settlement of the economic difficulties
of Europe on an international basis the
treaty provides that there shall be pre-
lhminary exchange of views between
Russia and Germany. 1t is now evident
that these two nations have determined
to join in an attempt to rule or to ruin
Europe.

Secretary Hughes has received notes
from the British and French governments
saving that the equity of the American
claim for the maintenance costs of our
army on the Rhine is recognized as be-
ing lust and must be paid. Uncle Sam's S
reputation as business nan is much
better in Europe than it was year ago
Great Britain has decided to pay her
American creditors. .She has informed
the governments to which she made loans
that she expects them to be paid. We
shall hear very little more about cancel
lation except from importers and inter-
national bankers. There should be, how
ever, no pressure for immediate cash pay
ments especially from our weaker Allies
The struggle will be a hard one for them
at the best. Uncle Sam is maenanlmous
but he has enormous debts of his own,
which must be paid. His debtors In Eu-
rope should not forget that he is fellow

The figures issued by the Bureau OF
Immioration show that the outward tide
of emigration is carrying away more peo-
ple than the tide of immigration is re-
turning During eight months ending
March first rs, 600 Polanders departed for
their own country and only 5000 Polish
immigrants have come to this country
The figures further show the same gen.
eral trend in the case of about dozen
other countries, and that the reverse is
true of England, France, Germany, and a
few other countries.

There are 81 widows of the soldiers of
1912, who are now drawing pensions
from the Federal government. The
youngest of these is 62, the Oldest lO4;
81 are more than 80, 10 are more than go,
and are more than 100 years old Two
of these widows are now living in Massa-
cbusetts but there are none in any other
of the New England States. 1t can easi-
ly be seen from the above figures that
there will be hundreds of widows of SOL

The secreteriat of the League of Nations
said some time ago that more than hall
the members had not paid their share OF
the expenses and added that the assess
ments were not burdensome. But Wins
ton Churchill British Colonial Secretary,
recently told the House of Commons that
it had cost the Br tish government oil
lion and a half dollars, to date, to main-
tain a mandate for Mesopotamia and Pal
estine. The situation in these two man.
dated countries seems likely to be worse
instead of better for several years and
that the expense will continue. The cost
of maintaining the League headquarters in
Geneva and the salaries of the very large
number of people employed there and
elsewhere have already mounted high up
into the millions.
There are Is Central American and
South American Republics which are
members of the League and if any body be-
lieves that these republics will ever hand
over from $1,000, 600 to $4,000, 600, ac-
cording to their size and wealth, he
should be set down as being a superla-
tive optimist. Haiti and Cuba will stand
with the above mentioned republics
Austria and Liberia cannot pay unless
the money can be borrowed from Uncle
Sam, and half score of the other coun-
tries will default The only means by
which any nation can be compelled TO
pay its assessment is by the use OF force.
1t is fortunate that the United States
cannot be expected to throw vast sums
of money into the open abyss of the
treasury of the League of Nations.

QUOTATION

Somewhere out in the quiet sea
Beyond lands end, there drifts for me
A ship of dreams.
A phantom ship:
It's decks are loaded, fore and aft.
With gifts life promised me.
Somewhere beyond the setting sun
There 10 . quiet land and one
Where ell our tasks,
At which Quailed.
Where oil the deeds at which failed,
And life's great work, are done.
And, borne upon quiet tide,
Some day my ship of dreams will ride
To find port
On that far shore.
Our ship of dreams, then evermore,
Will in safe harbour bide.
