Thousands OfMen To
 Work On Water Ways
3l4OOO Get Jobs For Iz Months or 6zS,OOO For 6
 Months on Several New Projects

Washington, Dec. 21.-(UP).-A
 total of 14.O0O men will be given jobs for 12 months, or 628, 900 men for six months under the rivers and harbors and flood control work now being directed by army engineers, Secretary of War Dern announced today.
 Dern reviewed activities of the engineer corps under the recovery act, together with its regular maintenance of river and h&rbor projects.
 He termed the present program
 ''the most comprehensive develop ment of our national waterways in l the history of the country" "At the present time," he said, | $220,123,S0S have been allotted for
 river and harbor improvements and | for flood control in the Mississippi and Sacramento rivers. To date $141,2O0,000 has been obligated
 and 44,697 men have been placed directly at work. Conservatively
 estimating the indirect labor result ing at 89,394 gives total employ ment of 134,091.
 "This work has been undertaken
 by the department in addition to its regular maintenance or river and harbor projects and the completion on work under regular appropria- tions will total $93,900,000 and it will provide for the employment directly and indirectly of 99,693 persons for one year, or 199, 1886 persons for six months.
 ITO sum up, the present pro-
 gram involving a total cost of | $S14.O00,000 will provide employ
 ment for 314,000 men for one year,
 or 62S,000 men for six months. "These funds are all being ex-

tors have applied for permission each year.
 This year is the 1900th annl- versary of the Passion and Re- demption and is marked as Holy Year in the church calendar. The Pope has urged as many special services of devotion as possible. and the celebration of midnight masses will climax a lengthy series of extra devotions on the part of Connecticut Catholics. In addition to the holding of extra regular ser vices in the churches of the diocese there have been many novenas, triduums and other special devot- ions. The remarkably large attend- ance at these services. and the great fervor and piety which mark ed those attending them all over the diocese is believed to have been responsible for Bishop Nilan's an- nouncement of permission for the traditional devotions on Christmas Eve.
 The midnight masses held here in the past have been marked by extremely large attendances and great evidence of religious devotion. The last ones held in Waterbury were attended by the largest con- gregations in the city's history.
 In most Catholic countries the midnight mass has become an in- tegral part of the observance of the Feast of the Nativity, and is annually a magnificent display of faith. Especial devotion is anti cipated at the midnight masses held in this diocese Sunday at mid night, since the service is so rare and the religious occasion such an important one in Catholic lives.

Proposed Plan To
 Develop Friendliness
International Highway Urged to Unite Three Ameri'
 cans More Closely

survey of the entire route through Mexico already has been made. Ac- tual cost of this sector to bring 1t up to primary specifications would be S20,000 per mile.
 Central and South American na- tions have raised the question of finances.
 Supporters of the enterprise do not feel any country should push its share in the gigantic project be- yond its financial limitations. How ever, several suggestions have been advanced to expedite the plan.
 Finance Plans
 (1) The United States govern ment, through its Reconstruction Finance Corporation, re n u y loaned China $50.000,000 in wheat. If similar loan of commodities, such as cotton, corn, rations ana road-building materials, would be tions, thousands of men could be put to work on the International Pacific Highway.
 (2) Construction costs could be raised by imposing tolls.
 (3) All nations affected by the highway would concentrate their available highway construction money on their respective segments of the road, serving, as much as possible, other road construction for a future date.
 (4) Flotation of bond issues to finance the roads construction.
 Just how soon it can be accom- plished is not yet certain. But 1t is apparently assured that the In- ternational Pacific Highway will be ie least % one-haif of the route will be an accomplished fact soon.
