ment and distribution is especially
venonomous just now. It by no means
is the only fight, but it is PARTICULAR
ly gingery.
Secretary Harold l.. Ickes wants
hydro-electricity as the monopoly of
his department of the interior.
The Federal Power Commission
considers itself the proper agency to
boss the job.
IVA Tennessee Valley Authority
believes that it's mandate should be
extended to cover the whole situation.
ICKES' PROPOSAL
Secretary Ickes favors creation of
the office of a power commissioner,
answerable only to the head of the in
terror department. He argues that
this commissioners appointment
should be subject not even to sena-
tOrial confirmation; that the commits
sioner should not be removable even
by the president-life tenure, in short.
He does suggest that rates fixed by
the commissioner he subject to ap-
prevail by the power commission Can
independent body).
The power commission is dead a
gainst this plan. It reasons that the
interior departments functionary
would have to have an organization to
fix rates, and that the commission
would have to have a corresponding
organization to check them. Wiasteful!
says the commission. It objects to
commission, anyway. 1t
wants to do all of it's own fixing.
IVA prefers to have the entire pro-
position in it's hands-no interference
by the interior department, no inter
ference by the power commission, no
by anybody.

May Is, 1602-Capt. Bartholomew
Gosnold landed ndar Nahant, Mass,
the first Englishman to set foot on
what became English America. His
tiny ship, carrying 20 settlers and
eight mariners was blown across the
Atlantic over the short northern
route in IL days, a fact that. caused
rjavigators to abandon the longer
southern route of Columbus and
changed the course of exploration
and colonization in the new World.
May Is, 1775-Congress authorized
paper money, the first federal cur
rency, to avoid the collection of taxes
Initiation was resorted to as a means
of Financing the defense of the colo
MES. In the dark days that followed,
the currency became so much paper.
So what was intended to protect peo-
pie from taxes, actually was the first
federal tax upon them.
Counterfeiting helped make the cur
rency worthless. An advertisement in
a newspaper of the time boldly stat
ed: Persons going into other colo
MES may be supplied with any num-
Der of Counterfeit Congress notes for

This was supposed to be for navi-
gational and flood control purposes.
Therefore, the army engineers attend
ed to it. But it involved power as a
side issue. This much of a side issue!
-navigationally and for flood con-
troll purposes it would have cost about
$25,OOO,OOO. 1t is, however, costing
$75,OOO,OOO because power figures in
it also.
So Chief of Army Engineers Maj.
Gen. Edward M. Markham gently
hints that the War Department ought
to have a voice in the matter of pow
er distribution.
He is not as noisy about it as are
Secretary Ickes, Chairman Frank r.

AMERICA AT WAR DAY-BY-DAY

20 Years Ago Today-4O,0OO men, at
l6 "Plattsburg" camps from coast-to-
coast, began a three and one-half
month siege of training for officer
commissions in divisions to be raised
by CONSUMPTION.
An officer is not made in 8 1-2
months. A captain from one of these
camps like Ft. Benjamin Harrison,
Ind, in the Argonne battle led his
men acros sa bridge in parade for
nation, as if they were on the drill
ground. AS they reached the center
of the bridge, which was under Ger
man observation, a German shell
landed in the middle of the company,
and the casualty lists got the names
of 100 more men. He should, of course
have rushed his men over the bridge
in small groups at irregular inter-
walls, but he was one of the men who
tried to get a West Point education
in few weeks-and it couldn't be
done. A hundred mothers sons paid
for his error, and this was only one
one of countless such errors.
The Army was to have 100000 Off
GERS, only one-sixth of which had
some kind of previous military serv-
ice. One half were the hasty product
of so-called officers training camps;
the rest became officers without train
ing. Maj. Gen. Hanson Ely was to
testify in 1919 that casualties in
France were double what they would
have been if the officers had had the
proper training
An air, sea and under-sea running
battle at dawn between Teuton and
British, French, and italian naval
forces took place on the 10Th in the
Straits of Otranto. Fourteen British
drifters (mine-sweepers), three Ital-
tlncraft merchantmen, several de-
strcyers and 20 armed trawlers were
sunk. The British cruiser Dart
mouth were torpedoed and two Aus
trian vessels were damaged.
The British vessels had been
brought to the lower Adriatic to as
sist in clearing out Austrian subma-
rines, submarine bases and mines.
Austrian light cruisers and Destroy
ers, in a dash from their base at Cat
taro, attempted to break the line of
British guard craft, and succeeded in
sending the II to the bottom before
the Bristol and Dartmouth steamed
to rescue. The latter pursued the at
lacking squadron until Austrian bat
tleships approached, and the Dart

German submarine. 1t mariaged to
reach port, however. During the

May Is, 1891-John Banvard, native

the most gigantic art achievement in
American history. Gigantic in size,
rather than merit.
On an especially woven canvas
three miles long, mounted on revolv-
ing drums, he spent five years paint
ing panorama of the whole of the
1900 mile Mississippi River, after
floating from headwaters to mouth in
a skiff, sketching. AS "the largest
painting in the world" it attracted
large crowds in this country and Eu-
rope; even Queen Victoria went to see
it.
Later Barnard painted a similar
panorama of Palestine, but he was
proudest of the LOO poems he wrote.
