Harding Wants Nicaraguan Canal Built

DRESIDENT HARDING has let 1t
be known that he has an ultimate
administrative dream which is the con-
struction of another interOceanic
canal in Central America, not to sub
stttute for the Panama canal but to
supplement it.
The possible necessity for second
canal, through the Nlcaraguan route,
in view of the great increase in traffic
through the Panama canal, was consid-
cred at a recent cabinet meeting.
Earnings by the canal, Secretary of
War Weeks pointed out, were nearly
30 per cent greater than a year ago.
There were intimations in official
quarters that the immediate future
would see any difficulties of an inter-
national political nature amicably re-
moved. At present the United States
has treaty with Nicaragua, known
as the Bryan-Chamorro treaty, by
which Nicaragua gives this govern
ment the right to construct canal
through Nicaraguan territory.
The consent of Nicaragua alone.
however, is not sufficient, inasmuch as
the San Juan river, part of the pro-
posed Nicaraguan canal, is the bound
ary line between Nicaragua and Costa
Rica. Furthermore, the Bay of

The President and the "Pork Barrel

and harbors appropriation is incorpor-
ated In the army appropriation bill
and in order to veto the pork barrel 1t
would be necessary for him to veto the

one of the most anomalous proceed

their lung power to the nth" degree
In exhorting the executive branch of
the government to practice economy.
Now the shoe is on the other foot and
the capitol may soon be treated to
the interesting spectacle of congress
denouncing the President and his sub
ordinates for refusing to spend as
much as 1t approprlates.
This unexpected development may
raise an important constitutional Is
sue, but 1t is generally believed that
congress will find 1t difficult to COM
pei Mr.. Harding to spend money which
he wants to save.
1t is a noteworthy fact that approx
mately S22,000,0O0 of the S56,0OO,OOO
would be spent in the South, with the
Mason and Dixon line and the Ohio
river as the dividing line. This may
account for the fact that the Dixie
senators voted solidly for the $56,OOO,-
600 barrel.

Berlin.-A dispatch from Mann
helm reports that the French have oc-

in Lower Alsace.
1t is also reported that the French
have occupied the railway station of
Dornap near Elberfeld.
The newspaper Germania reports
that the French have occupied the
railway station of Hamm, an impor-
tant junction of the main railroad line
between Essen and Berlin.
According to the Berlin newspapers
all the German trades unions in the
Ruhr have refused the demand of the
occupation authorities to hand over to
them a list of trade union member
ships.
Essen and Duisberg have been iso-
lated from rail communication with
the rest of the Ruhr, according to the
Berliner Tageblatt. The railway sta
tion at Langendreer, one of the larg-
est switching points in the Ruhr,
few miles east of Bochum, has been
occupied, as well as that of Watten-
scheld, to the west of Bochum, and
the railroad line from Dortmund to
Bochum is blocked completely.
German press reports from Langen-
dree say the French recently forced
five hundred children en- route from
Bochum TO Bremen to leave their
train at Langendreer and walk back
to Bochum in driving rain, despite
the protests of the chaperon that
