1t is heavy tax, but the burden will

DRAINAGE OPERATIONS ADD
 AcREs.TO DUTCH TERRITORY

AMSTERDAM, Mar. 9.-Queen Will helmina will presently find her do- main enlarged by 150 acres. The new territory has been annexed from the sea, being the first actual gain of ground as a result of the Zuyderzee drainage operations, ac- cording to a report recently issued here
 This gigantic undertaking, which deals with an area of 1,4O0 square miles and an estimated expenditure of $1OO,OOOO0O. was interrupted by the war, but has since been proceed ing slowly at different points.
 The difficulties encountered were great, but none of them was unfore- seen by the hydraulic experts in charge. Time after time, the report says, dykes or entertainments erected in the section of the island of Wier- ingen, slipped away into the sea ow- ing to the shifting nature of the sub soil. With the quiet tenacity pecu- liar to the Dutch in their everlast ing fight against sea encroachment the dykes were rebuilt again and again until they now stand six feet above high tide, and so firmly knit together with clay, sand willow | that the fercest gales have done them not the slightest harm, the report says
 The tests have been very severe this winter. Recently during fierce storm the quaint island of Marken escaped complete submergence by only a couple of inches, while the town of Monnickendam on the main land was flooded.

FRANCE MAKES FAST PROGRESS COLLECTING WORLD WAR DOPE

PARIS, Mar. 9.-The historical service of the French war depart ment has beaten all records in the preparation of it's first collection of documents relating to the World War. It took the same service 40 years to complete the compilation of the history of the war of 1870; in this case it has done an equal amount of work in about one-tenth the time.
 Documents were collected and classified as the war went on, and this work still continues. The doc uments already fill four floors of the big Babylone barracks in Paris, and General Girard, who directs the work, anticipates that larger quarters will eventually be needed.
