Warning Against Undue
Hopes Over Dawes Plan

There may be need of warninp
against too extrsvagant expectations
as to the Immediate results of the
findings of the Dawes commission Of
experts as to German finance and its
relation to the reparation payments.
Even under the most favorable cir
cumstances it can hardly mark the
end of the period OF difficulties that
set in after the peace treaty. The plan
has to be accepted by the Preparations
commission, which is an allied oryani-
cation entirely and usually divided
in opinions and aims. 1t has to be &C
cepted by governments, that have so
far been at serious odds, and in the
case Of Germany, by a government
that. whether its intentions have been
good or bad, has been generally in
effective.
Nevertheless, il the plan of the ex-
perts does not mark the end of diff
culties. it may mark the beginning of
a period in which they will diminish
instead of accumulate. The main thing
is to establish the prospect of better
things in the future. The mood OF
business and, in fact, Of the world in
general. is usually affected more by
prospects than by conditions existing
at any given time. Once provide the

Psychology of, people improves
To some extent the prospect of bet

Gov Smiths Legislative Program

The New York legislature has adj
journed, leaving most of the major
policies of legislation recommended
by Gov. Alfred Z. Smith Enacted upon.
No doubt the governor is disappointed,
but as the two houses were of differ
ent political complexion he was not
warranted in expecting any other re-
suit. Moreover, some Of his policies
were notably radical, and foredoomed
to rejection al the hands of the repub b.
Leans.
lie will go into the campaign this
fall and blame the republicans for the
failure of the legislation, demanding
the election of united democratic
legislature. He will have good cam
Iaign material in the non-action of the
republican branch. The governor is
expected to be called upon to address
the democratic national convention in
June, and, of course, will flaunt to the
country the wickedness of the repub.
licans, drawing attention to the pro-
gressive program Of the New York
democracy as a suggested model for
the national platform.
Gov. Smith is "a good fighter, re.
sourceful and aggressive, but in his
contest with the legislature he was
dealing with stiff necked generation.
and his appeal for his radical program
was as the voice of one crying in the
wilderness.

Flood Control.

One benefit which the Potomac
hydro-electric power project would
give to a large tract of country near
Washington has not been touched on
in public discussion. That is the part
which the power project would play in
flood control. AS everybody knows the
flow Of the Potomac is not constant.
There are times when the river passes
Great Falls in mighty volume, and
there are times when the flow is feeble.
To insure, or at least induce, con-
stancy in flow at the power site it is
proposed to inpound large bodies OF
water behind dams. Much has been
said of the dam which would be built
at or just below Little Falls 1t
would rise lis feet and impound a.
lake nine miles long, the upper margin
of the lake being in the gorge below
Great Falls. Islands, creek canyons
and other familiar scenery between
Little Falls and the mouth of the
gorge would disappear. There would
also be dam above Great Falls.
In addition to these there are
planned dams on two important feed.
ers of the Potomac, Great Cacapon
creek and South branch Of the Poto-
mac in West Virgi1ia. A dam is also
planned on the North Fork OF the
Shenandoah. The Great Cacapon dam,
to cost $3.50 900, would be at Edes
Fort, two and a half miles above the
point where the creek enters the Poto-
mac, which is a little more than half
way between Harpers Ferry and Cum
berland. The Great Cacapon flows
through Hardy. Hampshire and Nor
gan counties, w. Va, and through a
wide valley, of which Great North
mountain and its prolonga ton, Caca.
pom mountain, is the east rim.
A dam to cost ss.e56.00O is planned
for South branch Of the Potomac half
g mile above its entrance to the Poto-
mac. and the lake created by it would
reach close to the town of Romney,
about fifteen miles southwest. South
branch of the Potomac is the main
drainage channel for a large extent of
rugged country. A dam to cost So
100000 would be built on North Fork
of the Shenandoah about four miles
west of Broadway, Va. This stream
joins South Fork OF the Shenandoah at
Riverton. and they are the Shenan-
doah river from their junction to the
Potomac at Harpers Ferry.
Before building these dams the gov
eminent would pay for land 10 be sub.
merged. A large acreage OF land now
on the flood plain would be at the bot.
tom OF these reservoirs. The Hood
plain behind the dams will, of course,
be the height Of the dams. Vast vol
umes Of flood water will be held in
storage, and that which would go over
the dams ought not to do very great
damage. The flood flow into the Poto.
mac would be diminished. Impound-
ing these large bodies Of water ought
to have beneficial effect on the
stream systems of the water sheds of
the stream damned, and there ought
to be less erosion Of land.

Church, Richmond; st. Paul's Church,
Norfolk; Fort McHenry, Annapolis,
Gettysburg, the Lee Monument at
Lexington and Hampton Normal and
Industrial School. The list of places
will call for some travelling, though
they are near Washington as we think
Of distance today. Yorktown, Will
liamsburg and jamestown are easily
reached by automobile from Freder-
icksburg through an interesting part
OF Virginia, with a ferry across York
river from Gloucester to Yorktown.
From Yorktown it is a short auto ride
by good road to williamsburg and
seven miles farther on one crosses a
narrow bit Of water, f'the Thorough
fare" and comes upon jamestown
Island. Some pilgrims go to Yorktown
by steamboat from Baltimore and
some by the automobile road from
Newport News. Travellers to Viii.
liamsburg generally go by train from
Richmond or Newport News and make
short side trips to jamestown and
Yorktown. The shrine" list as so far
made up is of remarkable interest, but
it might. and perhaps will, include
Alexandria, Fredericksburg and the
site Of st. Marys City. If Monticello
is a shrine, so is Wakefield. If the
teachers visit at the Lee Monument at
Lexington they will also stand by the
grave of Stonewall Jackson. II they
go to Gettysburg they might also go
to Antietam. Bull Run, Chancellors-
vile, Wilderness and Spotsylvania. If
they want combination of scenery
go to Harpers Ferry and South Noun
tain, and If they are interested in IA
nous old towns they should see Fred
erick, Charles Town, Winchester and
Leesburg. They might also look over
these small settlements which long
ago were important towns-Port To-
bacco and Dumfries. Annapolis, Nor.
folk, Yorktown and jamestown will
give them views of the Chesa peake.
the York and the James, which they
will never forget. but Wakefield and
st. Marys City would acquaint them
with the majesty and beauty of the
lower Potomac. They would go away
with inadequate knowledge of the
scenery Of our section if they did not
go to the crests of the Catoctins and
the Blue Ridge and look upon the
Monocacy and Shenandoah valleys.
