ITALY PLANS CANAL
TO LINK UP NORTH
Water Lane Would Join
Fiume With Trieste-Most
of Work Already Done.
by the Associated Press.


UDINE, Italy, october lathe Ital-
ian government now is considering a
project to construct canal along the
old sheI-torn Austro- italian front dur
ing the war that will link her new
possessions of Fiume and Trieste on
the eastern side of the Adriatic with
Venice ON the west.
1t will be a canal of more than q
thousand miles in length-but fortu-
nately most of the digging already Is
dong in the form of other canals now
ful1ctioning. The major portion OF the
project Will consist in uniting these
canals and constructing new section
in Trieste itself as far as Monfalcone.
This will reduce the total cost to some
thing like $4,000 and means that
only $4,000 cubit meters of earth must
be excavated.
Work Revives War Memories.
The building of the canal will revive
many memories of the World War.
For not only were some OF the fiercest
battles of the Italo-Austrian conflict
fought where the canal Is to run, but
portions of the canal itself were dug
Just before italy went into the war, in
order that supplies and troops might
be transported more easily. Further
construction of the canal was stopped
by the Italian defeat at Caporetto in
the Fall of 1917.
The Venetian coast, from the city of
Venice, perched on its canals and Ia
goons, along the line of the Gulf Of
Venice to Trieste, Is a network of lakes
and lagoons, already partly connected
by canals. The first project for uniting
them all in one long chain was formu-
lated in 1909 by the civil engineer Her
man Cecchini. Soon after Cecchini
made his initial survey various projects
were undertaken to link the nav1gable
waterways by canalsS
Earlier Project Is Pushed.
In May, 1915, only q few days before
the declaration of war against Austria,
Cecchini, perceiving the strategic neces-
Sity of completing q waterways system,
urged the building of two canals, link
ing Marano and Gorghi and Zeilina
and Muro one being TOO miles long and
the other 800.
Work on the canals was pushed
feyerishly, and by December of the
same year the canals were inaugu-
rated by the Duke of AoSta, cousin OF
King Victor Emmanuel. The lagoon
battalion of Venice began a transport
service almost Immediately. Three
months later, Is the work continued, 1t
was possible to reach as far as . point
less than two miles from the River
Isonzo, on the Austrian frontier. Mu-
nitions and armed pontoons were car
ried up through the canals.
In September, 1917, work was begun
which united the canal Of Marano with
I'll Gorghi Canal through the Marano
lagoon. After the war the state carried
out other work along the lines Of the
canals. And then the work ceased.
Now all that is necessary Is to con-
struct another portion of canal, only
orle-twentieth of what has already been
built. of 80 miles. This will give an
average depth Of between 10 and IL
feet. It viii unite the River Pc and
Venice with Italy's city Of Fiume, won
for her by Gabriel D,Annunzto.

Buron r. Fits, Los Angeles district
attorney and former lieutenant gov
crnor Of California, will be can
didate for the Republican nominal
tion for governor at the 1880 primar-

This prediction was contained in
a statement to the United Press to-

definitely eliminated himself from
the race and placed his support be-
hind the Las Angeles prosecutor.
Richardson sad:
"Buron Fits has made the most
fearless and honest district attor-
ney the state has ever had.
"He has brought underworld, polit,
zeal, official and wealthy criminals
to justice.
ale is well qualified for governor
of California.
"Every voter who believes:-That
the present orgy of state extrava'
gance should be stopped, that the
laws should be rigidly enforced, and
criminals brought to justice, and
that our great California President
Herbert Hoover, should be sustain
ed-should urge Buron Fits to be-
come a candidate for governor.

Fits be drafted" as candidate, po-
litical observers at Sacramento read
between the lines that an agreement

DRYS PLANNING
TO STRENGTHEN
PROHIBITION LAW
By PAUL r. MALLON
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20, W.p)-
For the first time since prohibition,
the drys are on the legislative war
path.
With the vets more or less quiet
since the last election, the congress
sional drys are formulating a plan to
sharpen the teeth of prohibition.
This plan, to be started after the
holidays, is twofold:
First, to see that all necessary
funds are furnished to federal en-.
forcement agencies in appropriation
bills for the next year and second
to conduct a congressional inquiry
on the possibility of coordinating
existing enforcement agencies from
an administrative standpoint.
In furtherance of the first project
Senator Harris, dry Georgia Demo
crat, has pending i'll the senate a res
olution to call upon President
Hoover for preliminary report
from his law enforcement commits
sion.
Harris would like to boost the APP
preparations even above the figures
proposed by President Hoover in his
budget message. Mr.. Hoover rec
ommended $l5, 100000 for the pro
hibltion bureau as compared with
$l3,925,0 being spent this year.
Authorization for the second part
of the plan is expected before
Christmas. The senate already has
adopted Il resolution authorizing an
inquiry into coordination of enforce
ment activities and it is expected
70 be adopted in the house before ad,
journment, so the inquiry can be
started early in January.

tion bill.
