RED OLOUD. NEBRASKA, CHIEF i-... .m & ! To Link North and Black Seas Plan to Cut Steamship Waterway That Would Be Great Help to Commerce. ACROSS EUROPE BY WATER Germany Is Considering Project of Connecting Up the Rhine and the Danube for Ocean-going Vessels. Washington, D. 0. "Instinctively ono 'links tlio Mississippi mid the Mis sourl 'rivers; years to come mny llnd tis regnrdlng tlio Danube nnd the Rhine In the same way," Is tlio comment of a National Geographic society bulle tin upon tlio reports of n plun to cut n stcumshlp waterway from the North sea to the Mack sen. "As for n 'waterway across Europe' such n waterway already exists, though travelers through n smnll sec tion of It might have to resort to very smnll craft. Information about the condition of the canalized portion of this trans-European water route Is not readily available,' since the Unking of the Ithlnc and the Danube occurs In Germany, New Conceptions of Europe. "Tlio very fact tlmt' we classify the legend-laden Itlilno In one mental pigeonhole, nnd tho romantic, castled Danube In another, makes tho an nouncement of a 'waterway across Eu rope' come upon us with the Impact of n fresh Idea. Just as wnr brought about political changes In Europe, so peace Is bringing economic changes. Ilence, If Germany carries out the project she Is considering, wo will have to think of a Europe cut through with a water route, Just as wc hnvo learned to think of a Europe with Turkey al most gone, n Polnnd with n boundnry, and tho new 'names of Czechoslovakia and Jugo-Slnvlu conspicuous upon Kb map. "A present wntcr route across Eu rope and others are possible with very short portages lies along tho Rhino to Mnlnz, up tho lUilno'a tributary, Main, to Bamberg, thcuco through tho Ilognltz, Into tho Ludwlg canal to the Altmuhl, which empties Into tho Dan ube at Kclhclm. Where Two Rivers Are Linked. "In your mind's eye, oven without a mop, you can recall two focal points of this route, Frnnltfort, on tho Main, and Itatlsbon (or Ilcgcnsburg) on the Danube. Vessels of more than 1,000 tons can go up tho Rhino nnd Main to Frankfort ; and vessels between 400 tnd 1,000 tons can go up tho Danube us far as Itatlsbon.

AIDING WORLD Government Is Spending More Than $1,000,000 a Day. Director of Veterans' Bureau Seeks Half-Billion to Divide Into Seven Composite Branches of Re lief Work. ' Washington. Moro than $1,000,000 t day, Including Suudny, Is being ex pended by tho United States govern ment for tho former service men nnd their dependents, sny government ofll clnls. 1 Tho 1022 budget estimate of expen ditures to bo mtido directly for tho benefit of tho former wnrrlors, calls 'for $510,000000. This huge sum will bo divided, Col. C. H. Forbes, director of tlio United States veterans' bureau, said, Into seven composite branches of soldier relief work. For vocational training, the sum of $1(17,500,000; for medical and hospital I link with tho Rhine, Is only 12 miles southwest of Itatlsbon, Tho Improve ment of tho Danube to Kclhclm would olTcr no great dlfllcultlcs. Above Frankfort, to Wurzburg, vessels be tween -100 nnd 1,000 tons enn traverse the Main, "Tho trouble with this route, even with channels deep enough to carry lnrgcr steamers from Wurzburg to Itatlsbon, Is the extremely circuitous courso between tho Rhine nnd the Dan ube. From Frankfort tho routo forms an almost perfect 'W and then trails off like a careless nourish through Nuremberg to Itatlsbon. A projected shortening of this routo contemplates passing the confluence of the Rhine and the Main, continuing up the Rhino to Mnnnhclm, thence Into tho Neck a r nnd Into the proposed canal from that point to connect with the Danube near Ofllngcn. "Completion of the project for this deep waterway across Europe would make the Rhine-Danube routo one of tho most Important commercial high ways of the world ranking In econom ic Importance with the I'ananm and Suez cnnals, and In extent with the Mississippi-Missouri channel and the tremendous navigable length of the Amazon. Tho Dluck-to-North-seu trip would be it Journey of nearly 2,'JOO miles. Tho high wntcr navigation bend of tho Missouri, In Montana, Is 3,600 miles from tho Gulf of Mexico, while ocean-going steamers may nscend the Amazon for 2.U0O miles." Has First Bible Printed in U. S.
