WORK ON NAVIGATION
MAY AID UNEMPLOY
100000 Appropriation Considered
for Washington Area by War
Department Engineer.

Congress may be asked to appropriate
100000 for projects in this area as
aids to navigation In order to relieve
unemployment in nearby Maryland and
Virginia. This was made known today
by Maj. Joseph d. Arthur, jr., district
engineer for the War Department for
the Washington area, who has just
completed an investigation of these
projects, which Congress has already
authorized, but for which no funds are
available.
Improvements are scheduled to be
made, under this program, at Monroe
Bay, Va, near Colonial Beach; at Smith
Greek, Md, near the mouth of the
Potomac River; Cockrell's Greek, Va, a
tributary of the Great Wicomico River
near Reedville, Va; Carriers Greek, Va,
and Horn Harbor, Va.
For the Monroe Bay Improvement,
$4,000 is needed for the Improvement
of the harbor there, which Is used by
small oyster craft, and pleasure boats.
This was explained today by e. J. Mer-
rick, jr., civil engineer In Maj. Arthur's
office.

cradle dredging will be done here. The

BILE for eating, is reduced to fertilizer at

The Russian papers editorials point
to the first article Is proving M. Poin-

and to the second article, which ap-
peared after the counter-revolutionary
| indictments, as revealing change OF
tone In order 10 conceal his leading role

Both newspapers refer to Poincare as

exhaust their vocabularies in describing
the French statesman, whom both ac-
cuse, not only of planning intervention
In Russia, but of being the principal
inStigator in the World War.
Izvestia says: 'No Arabian perfume
nor seas Of typographical paint will
wash the blood from M. Poincare's
hands, or wipe from his forehead the
brand 'Poincare-war.' He Is not only
the shadow Of the past great massacre,
but he is also the shadow of bloody
