The Lower Rio Grasde Valley Is
TO be the setting for a book by q
nationally known writer.
The writer Is Burton Davis, for
merly a reporter on the Browns
vile Herald, and author of a re-
Gently published popular novel,
The Columnist Murder"
Burton and his wife. Clara Og-
den Davis, who write jointly under
the name of Clarence Saunders,
are TO leave New York in a few
weeks and travel back to the old

They have travelled far" since
the days when Burton was a re-
porter on The Herald.
One amusing incident OF those
days. n which typifies Davis, is
told by j. M. Stein, who was then
managing editor or The Herald.
Davis wrote a story about a cav
airy maneuver. The story was
written so well that Davis received
an official communication from
the corps headquarters compli-
menting him On II, and praising
Ills kttn OOSCI FdllOIl dllQ dpptCSAn-
ton Of the maneuvers he saw.

/ office and wrote the story from a
program Of the days events.
Burton Davis and his wife, who
was the ghost" writer for the last
Ferguson administration in Texas,
have been writing for national
magazines the past few years.
Their fame seems TO have been
made with the appearance Of The

RAGING HWA| RIVER
HAS EVIL RECORD
Chinese Stream Rated Sec
ond to Yellow in DevaS-
tating Turbulence.

1.-THE Hwai River, which has flooded
thousands of square miles Of farm land
and forced inhabitants of its thickly
settled valley to flee before its raging
torrents, is perhaps, second only to the
Yellow River, the so-called River of
Sorrow among the Chinese waterways,
in its turbulence" says bulletin from
the National Geographic Society.
Almost annually, the Hwai takes its
toll of crops and human lives. In
serious floods, farm lands that would
produce more than 100000, 600
pounds of rice, have been inundated by
its waters. Even in ordinary floods.
land that would produce as much as
5000, 100000 pounds OF rice and other
farm products has been made useless.
From these lands more than 1000, 900
Chinese could be fed annually.
Empties Into Lake.
"Rising in Honan Province, the Hwai
flows through the northern portion Of
Anhwei and into Kiangsu Province,
emptying into the Hangtze HUI Clake)
north Of Marking. Once the river
flowed into the Yellow Sea, but was di-
verted by geological changes, a common
occurrence in the history Of Chinese
streams.
I'm its course the Hwai absorbs the
waters of more than 10 streams OF va
rious sizes which drain large portion
OF Honan and Anhwei, north OF the
Yangtze.
"For many years engineers have
studied the Hwai with view to har-
Messing the famine-breeding stream.
Ordinarily Lake Hangtze is shallow
basin and can accommodate the Hwat
fiow, but during food time the lake
overfiows and the excess water takes
the route where there is least resistance.
Flood Protection Ruined.
an Kiangsu n1any walls, canals and
sluice ways have been constructed to
protect areas from Hwai flood waters.
Many OF these have been destroyed.
Areas not thus protected often remain
waterlogged for several months after
the river has subsidized, thus making
farming difficult and leaving many or
dinarily fertile farm regions disease
breeding swamps.
when the Hwai floods are at their
height, engineers estimate that neither
the st. Lawrence at Montreal. nor the
Mississippi above its confluence with
the Missouri, carry as great discharge
Of water.
zone of the rivers most devastating
floods took place In 1911 when some
10. 900 square miles Of Anhwei Province
and nearly $500 square miles Of Honan
Province-an area larger than the
State Of Maryland-was covered by
food waters"

JAHNCKE OPPOSES
M|DD|ES' DISMISSAL
Against Policy of Discharges
for Comparatively Trivial
0ffenSes."

Acting Secretary Of the Navy Ernest
Lee Jahncke Is opposed TO dismissing
midshipmen for comparatively trivial
offenSes and inclines to the practice OF
disciplining them to serve as an ex-
ample TO the rest Of the organization.
He made his stand known yesterday,
when he revealed that he has called
for the records of four or six midship-
men, under investigation for infraction
of the rules during the recent cruise to
Europe, and has asked that they write
letters giving their version of the story.
The Navy Department withheld the
exact nature OF the charges, but OBJ
servers obtained the impression that the
accused midshipmen we're either under
the influence Of intoxicating liquor or
had overstayed their leave.
Son Second CIassman.
Mr.. Jahncke, whose son, Ernest Lee
Jahncke, IT., is a second claSsman, does
not believe in blighting mans future
life unless the offense Is a grave one.
He made It clear, however, that he
recognizes the need for discipline in a
military organization and is not dis
posed to PREJUDICE any case.
The inquiry into the conduct Of the
accused midshipmen will be gone into
very thoroughly by Mr.. Jahiacke, he
said yesterday, for he viii study not
only the recommendation of fsear Adj
miral Thomas G. Hart, superintendent
OF the Naval Academy at Annapolis,
and other naval authorities, but the
answers of the men themselves and
their previous records
Letters from these nidshipmen,
their own explanation Of the charges,
viii be before me shortly" the Acting
Secretary asserted. II intend to 60
over these very carefully, in addition
to examining their previous records.
"I do not believe in dismissing q
man from the Naval Academy and
disgracing him for life for any COM
saratively trivial ofense."
Mr.. Jahncke explained that he him
self does not know the exact nature
of the charges pending against the
midshipmen. The names OF the mid
shipmen involved were not obtainable
at the department.
Rear Admiral Hart has been in COM
munication with the Bureau Of Nayiga-
ton, Navy Department, over the case
and Capt, Ralph E. Pope, acting CHIEF
Of the bureau, is handling the papers
here.
