AGAIN TO BE FERTILE LAND Building of Euphrates Dam Calculated to Restore the Prosperity of Old Mesopotamia. With the completion of the Hindl yeh barrage, on the River Euphrates, the first step has been taken which will ultimately turn Mesopotamia into the fertile land it was In Biblical times. For ages the waters of the Tigris and Euphrates have run to waste in the desert, or accumulated in unwholesome marshes, and devastation and the de cay of centuries have set their mark upon enormous areas that once blos somed as the rose. In the great Baby lonian plain tradition has placed the Garden of Eden, and the still visible ruins of old dams and canals show how Important a part was played by Irrigation in the economic prosperity of Chaldea and Babylon. After lying dormant for ageB as the result of devastating wars, Tartar in roads and Turkish apathy, fertility is about to be restored to those deso late regions as by the wave of a ma gician's wand. The magician is the modern engi neer, in the person of Sir William Willcocks, who in 1909 was commis sioned by the Turkish government to prepare an irrigation scheme. In its entirety Sir William Willcock’s plan entailed an expenditure of $75,000,000, and it is the first portion of the works which were inaugurated. The Hlndlyeh barrage, 47 miles south of Bagdad, has been built Just above the town of Hlndlyeh and to the east of the present riverbed, and it distributes the waters of the Eu phrates through regulators down the old Hillah branch, past Babylon to Hlllah. It is 800 feet long and con sists of 35 arches fitted with sluice gates 16 feet wide. The arches are supported by piers 19 feet high and four feet thick, with key piers measur ing 11 feet. This structure rests upon a foundation of three feet of concrete and six feet of brickwork. Adjoining the barrage is a lock with a 26-foot opening for the use of the river traf fic. New Broom.

Paris Special: The minister of finance, Alexandre Rlbot, Introduced In the chamber of deputies yesterday a bill providing for a comprehensive reform In the liquor trade. The measure con templates suppression of privileges en joyed by private Individuals who are now permitted to distill brands from their own fruits, and for an Increase in the tax on alcohol from 12 francs ($2.40) to 25 francs a gallon. To this Is added a tax on consumption of 5 francs a gallon on appetizers and liquors. Memoranda attached to the bill con tain an estimate that If consumption of the articles affected should decrease by one-half, the government would, never theless, receive Increased revenue to the amount of 10,000,000 francs. It Is also proposed that the state create a monopoly In the manufac ture of Industrial alcohol and endeavor to find an additional outlet for the product among consumers of fuel, such as owners of automobiles. Premier Speaks. Premier Viviani arose to address the house immediately after the session was called to order. All members of the cabinet were on the ministerial benches. The galleries were filled with prominent persons, among them many women. Nearly all the members of the diplomatic corps were In their boxes. “I am not going to speak of the san itary service alone,” said the premier, "but also of parliamentary incidents that cannot be Ignored. In the higher Interest of the country by which we are Judged, we must Justify the union of government and parliament "The home services of the war de partment have accomplished their tasks. In other quarters errors have been made, but parliament has lent cordial co-operation, without seeking at the same time to fix responsibility for mistakes. The errors have been repaired. Let us banish pessimism and depressing anxiety. "France, by the grace of all her chil dren’s efforts, her public servants, prompted by necessary criticism, Is equal to the task of fulfilling her des tiny. France Wants No Peace. “Put the question of peace before the country and It would be blown to nothing,” the premier continued. "Not until heroic Belgium has been freed; not until we have retaken Alaace and Lorraine could there be mischievous divisions among us. "We must destroy the legend that the republic of France, having borne for 45 years a horrible wound, did not make provision for military defense. I must repeat the words of the commander In chief during the last session of the chamber: ‘The republic may be proud of her arml.es.’ "France has crsated an army fulfill ing the most modem conceptions. She has Instilled the love of Justice, the love of right, and upon the day the war be gan the children of France united in support of this high Ideal, without which there would have only been armies of mercenaries.” At this the deputies sprang to their feet and cheered the premier wildly. When the demonstration had died down the premier continued: “Yes, the German press has said that France was divided. Yes, there are divergencies of opinion. These are the essence of free government. But It would be a fatal division If there was in this country a fraction of the people who even thought of a premature peace. To Post On Billboards. rights, but nevertheless the authority of the government must be all the strong er owing to its greater responsibilities.'’ the premier continued. "We must have not only the expression of your con fidence, but for the great task before us, we must have the freedom of action necessary. We must have the definite adhesion of all hearts, all minds and the good will of everybody. “Never has this been more necessary for the government from an Internal as well as an external point of view. The more that is demanded, the greater the force required. It is for parliament to grant it to the government." Premier Vivianl concluded his re marks by saying: “I ask you to adopt the conciliatory attitude necessary that we may go on to victory.” The entire chamber applauded the premier’s speech. It was voted that his address be posted on the billboards throughout France. After Premier Vivianl had concluded, Deputy Louis Accambray, who recently has several times criticized the govern ment’s conduct of the war, took the floor and began amid disorder a criti cism of Minister of War Millerand. The deputy spoke for an hour, but little, if anything, of what he said could be heard because of the confusion. Afterwards several deputies spoke In approval of the premier’s address and the chamber voted the credits asked by the government by 639 to 1.

Most people have heard discussions as to whether mankind first drove horses, or mounted them, after they had captured and reduced them from their wild state. The poet Laurentlus, who lived some years before our era, thinks that for an armed man to mount a horse and guide it to fight by the bridle was a much more ancient way than to harness the animal to a chariot. But, so far as human knowledge goes, the horse was always in use—a warlike animal, fast and brave, both in harness and under the saddle. The Southwestern Asiatics took early to driving at first, probably In rude carts; but the Assyrian chariots were "strong, light, elegant and metal-bound.” The Greeks of the Homeric times did not ride much or have many horses and mostly drove those they had, as they had seen their nearest Asiatic neighbors do. To the Turks and Mongols, while still living in their native place, the great steppe of Asia, must be given the credit of first capturing the swift, single-hoofed animal, also native to their plains, and learning to mount him for use In hunting and In war. When the Turkish tribes first Invaded the west, they were horseriding people. The old historians say that they were so accustomed to being on horseback that they could not walk without stumbling, and “ate, drank and held council in the saddle.” A great modem authority. Professor Hehn, says that "the steppe of Asia was the birthplace of the horse, and the yel low sons of the steppe tamed the animal, and succeeding in that, founded their whole life upon it. and when they rode to the west, they could only destroy.” In many cavalry combats, we hear of more damage done by the weight of the horses than by the weapons of the riders. Wild horses often fight with their teeth as well as their feet. With all the Improved facilities of com munication by steam, war horses are still so necessary that almost all the Euro pean countries have state breeding farms to Insure a supply. In France these were instituted by the great Minister Colbert, in the reign of Louis XIV, and were especially fostered by the great Napoleon, who, in his cruel and often unnecessary wars, used up more horses than any one in ancient or mod em times. By this means Germany has a fine stock of horses, which made her mounted troops especially the Uhlans, so formid able in her last war with France. The great strategist and organizer, VOn Moltke, estimates that, for active war fare, there should be two horses for every five men employed in the field. During the last year of our civil war the quartermaster general's report shows that the consumption of horses and mules on the northern side alone amounted to 500 a day. It is conceded by most writers on the subject that the only two great nations which breed enough horses within their own borders to meet all the exigencies and destruction of war, without drawing from abroad,, are the United States and Russia. A naturally brave animal, the horse can be trained to stand the roar of artillery and the shock of battle better than any other. Many seem to delight in It. Wolves and other wild animals dread the hoofs and teeth of wild horses, and the domesticated ones often defend them selves successfully from enemies. The following, among hundreds of simi lar incidents, seems to b« well authenti cated: Some years ago a hunter In Wyoming territory was camping upon the Wind riv er, well up in the mountains. He had a horse of flue breed, and had selected a small bunch of cottonwood trees for his camp, while, at a little distance, under an unusually large tree of the same kind, and apart from all the others, he stabled his stallion. It could hardly be called stabling—for the horse was picketed, and the tree formed his shelter. One night the hunter was aroused from a sound sleep by a neigh from his horse, which sounded rather like rage than alarm. American horses are often quick to detect the approach of Indians, as well as beasts of prey, and the hunter was soon upon his feet, and looking in the di rection of his horse. The animal was standing In the full light of a bright moon, and seemed to bo staring at an object In the branches of the tree. As the hunter looked the branches were violently agitated, a dreadful yelling scream was heard, and a dark object, which was a mountain lion, landed on the back of the horse. The latter sprang Into the air, with a mad scream little inferior in shrillness and rage to that of his ene- \ my. J He returned to the ground with a great { concussion, but failed to shake off the mountain lion, so closely did the latter cling to his prey. Blood began to appear on the horse's neck and shoulders, and the lion was tearing his way to his Jugu lar, to let out the gallant beast’s life. Apparently realizing his full danger, be fore his master could no anything, the horse sprang into a dense tangle of boughs and the mountain lion was torn from his seat and hurled back with great violence. The stallion passed through the thicket, and then turned to confront his enemy in the open space, never offering to run away. The lion quickly recovered himself, and, mad with the taste of blood, sprang once more into the branches of the big tree, made another deap toward the horse, but , missed his aim. ^ Then he began a series of circle round the horse, getting nearer and nearer each time, and at last made another leap. But the brave horse was ready for him, and with the rapidity of thought changed front, and with his hind feet struck the lion full In the breast. The animal rolled ever and over, with yells of pain and rage, but then came on again. This time he came to his death, for the horese's heels struck him fairly between the eyes, and crushed his skull clean across. He gave a few convulsive strug gles, and then stiffened In death, while the triumphant stallion stood neighing and pawing the ground in token of vic tory. Cotton Grievances. From the New York Times. What a timorous king Is cotton! Most of his adversities never happen. Last year the war caught the south with a bumper cotton crop on Its hands. Prob ably In any event the size of the crop would have depressedi the price, but with international trade suddenly paralyzed, and with the European demand for cotton thrust from a peace to a war basis, the plight of the grower for once was not to be envied. But he began to howl before he was hurt. He appealed to the govern ment for money and the government did all It could. Mr. McAdoo placed a high moral premium upon emergency currency Issued to the national banks to be loaned on cotton. That was not enough. Wall street was induced to Join with the banks of the south and southwest in a credit pool of $136,000,000 to be loaned to the planters to carry over all of the crop that might be left on their hands after the support ers of the ‘‘buy-a-bale” movement throughout the north had been plied up. It was proposed at one time to push gov ernment aid to the point of "valorizing” the whole cotton crop, which would be for the government to fix the price und then issue money against the staple directly or Indirectly. . , And none of this special aid was need ed The $135,000,000 credit pool was never drawn upon at all. The "buy-a-bale” ab surdity perished in unsympathetic ridicule, and the cotton crop was merchandized In the only proper way. What the south couldn't carry over with the regular and proper assistance of the bankers it sold for what it could get, and. In the meantime, the demand for the staple wonderfully re vived. The price advanced from a nom inal quotation to a price between S and 9 cents, where It now Is. At this price there Is profit in growlnstlL S But nov£ Mother crop is cjmlng bn—a natural, phenomenon quaintly Wd dis agreeably foretold last winter by the sec retary of agriculture, who alone among public officials at Washington had the wit and courage to oppose any scheme of paternal aid to the cotton Industry, es pecially a "valorization” of the output, which would only cause an unsalable sur plus to pile higher and higher until it might bankrupt even the United States government. Also, he said that bankers In the south ought to see to It that the acreage In 1916 was much reduced. It has been much reduced, and still a cotton crop la Indicated which only a few years ago would have been thought very large. And the south Is scenting the air for help. There are "rumors from Washington" of an International pool to facilitate the sale and export of cotton. It has been report ed that the British government will be solicited to declare cotton contraband and then purchase for Itself the amount that Germany might be expected to buy if her ports were open. These are fantastic Ideas. The crop now growing was planted In full knowledge of war conditions and war hazards, wherefore there* Is less reason than last year to propose financial make shifts or economic experiments on the planters’ behalf. Moreover, the banking power of the cotton-growing region la much greater than last year, owing to federal reserve banks having been estab lished at Richmond, Atlanta, Dallas. Kan sas City, and St. Louis, so that neither philanthropy nor uneconomic assistance is any longer necessary properly to finance a cotton crop. If the south has raised too much cotton this year, then the south, warned and advised as It has been, should blame Itself. It could have raised more Dr. Anna Shaw counters cleverly 4 upon such chivalry. Georgia does 4 not repeat the saying, offensive to 4 suffragists, that “a girl’s place Is 4 the home.” If she Is the daughter 4 of dependent parents or Is or- 4 phanea she may work tn a factory 4 at eight years of age. Girls less •» unfortunate must be 14 to enjoy 4 4 factory opportunities, but there are 4 4 no Inspectors to see that they real- 4 4 ly are 14. More than one-third of 4 4 all the factory children in Georgia 4 4 In 1310 were from 10 to 13 years old. 4 4 Georgia's regard for woman’s 4 4 honor is so high that she holds a 4 4 girl of 10 legally responsible to pro- 4 4 tect it.
