the widespread interest in this Con-

the remarkable memorials of the world

The Stone Mountain memorial is one
of the great undertakings in course
of realization in America. That fea-

panorama to contain seven hundred
colossal figures representing an ad-

the many orators who have spoken
on this subject said of this cliff

The Potomac River Basin.

Tales of death, suffering and prop
erty loss due to flood and blizzard
in the basin of the Potomac still come
to US. Generally such news comes
from afar. 1t is poignant to read
Of villages destroyed and people made
homeless in our neighborhood, but
the civil authorities are doing their
duty, and the Red Cross and other
agencies of mercy were prompt in
giving help. Many persons who have
read the flood reports have gained a
larger knowledge Of the Potomac. We
live very close to "the head Of tide"
and from Washington to the Chesa-
peake the Potomac is an estuary Of
the bay. Above tidewater is what
geologists call the Potomac river
proper.
The stretch from Washington to
Cumberland is 10S miles in a line
and 1876 miles by river, and this is
the trunk channel Of the Potomac. In
that section of the river the larger
feeders from the south are the South

Fork of the South branch, which rise
in the mountain counties Of Highland
and Pendleton, w. Va, about 100
miles south of Cumberland; Great
Cacapon river, which has its source
fifty miles south of the Potomac; Ope-
quan creek or river, which follows
a crooked course of perhaps sixty
miles through Shenandoah valley,
and the Shenandoah river, whose
north and south forks drain most of
the valley of Virginia from the head

Potomac.
Between Washington and Cumber-

certain conditions would be extremely
effective, easy of application and non
injurious to the nation applying it
This form of pressure would consist
not in an agreement by nations to as
sumo an obligation toward the Of
fender, but in an agreement to be re-
lieyed OF existing obi cations toward
such offender. The outbreak of a war
under present international law at
once brings into force and imposes
on nations which are not parties to
the war heavy and troublesome bur
dens and rules of action, both mega
tive and positive, known as the obli-
cations of neutrals. These obIiga-
tions have been created by interna-
tional law for the benefit of bellig-
erents. The question may well he
asked why such benefit should accru,.
to a belligerent which should indulge
in war in violation of law or agree
ment or judicial decree
No Neutral ObHgationS
Though the suggestion has not
been made heretofore, so far as I am
aware, may it not be possible that a
perfectly practical means Of pressure,
non-burdensome to the nations ex
erting it, may be found in the follow
come parties to an agreement where
by, whenever any one of them should
violate the agreement or a treaty, or
fail to comply with an international
judicial or arbitral decree, so that
war should result, all the non-com-
blatant nations should be relieved of
all obligations or duties of neutrality
imposed by international law?

ton, party to any such agreement,
make war on nation, in violation of
the agreement or of a treaty OF of an
international court decree, all the
other parties to the agreement should
be relieved from the duty of enforc-
ing their neutrality laws, and should
be under no liability to the offending
Y nation. Thus in case of such vio-
lation by X, the United States and all
other nom -belligerent nations would
automatically cease to be under any
duty to prevent enlistment of troops
by the enemy of x or to prevent the
fitting out or supplying its warships
in our ports by the enemy of X; or to
be under duty to forbid the use of it's
ports to prize captures by the enemy
of x; or, to be under any duty to in
tern for failure to leave our ports
within twenty-four hours any war
ships or their crews; or to be under
any duty to intern troops entering it's
territory; or to be under any duty to
prevent the establishment of radio
stations in its territory for use of the
enemy of x in communicating with
vessels at sea or with land forces.
Such an agreement or treaty, releas-
ing nom belligerent nations from ex-
isting duties, would certainly not be
Objectionable to any one except to the
offending party; for, unlike agree
ments to employ military or economic
pressure, it would tighten the burdens
on the parties to the agreement, in
stead of increasing them"

the Flint Journal independent II
points out, his whole background as
political hack in Ohio, his apparent

war-fund cases have not been to his
credit" The Springfield News (demo-
cratic), furthermore, holds ''he has
added nothing to the progres ssive
thought of the nation and contributed
nothing to the development of the
Department of Justice" Moreover,
his political ties and his political
cronies were quite enough to make
him impossible as Attorney General,

High Quintet to
Play Two Games
Meets Weiser and Pay.
cite on Week End
Trip

Coach Blake Lowell's high school
hoopsters will get their first real test
OF strength this week end in two
games, one tonight against Weiser
and the second Saturday night against
Payette Both games will be played
on foreign floors.
Weiser has strong team, accord
ing to information finding its way to
the high school mentor. Payette's
outlook is not known but the fact that
both games will be home affairs for
Caldwells opponents makes the pros
poets of the locals coping both events
rather doubtful.
Following the rather Disappointing
showing made last week against En-
NIT, Coach Lowell has been working
his team overtime to perfect offensive
play. Lack of ability to score is the
weak point of the high school quintet
play. On defense the team looks
strong enough to keep opponents
scores TO minimum.
