Thla report directly aupporta the contention of tho National Itlvcr and Harhnra Congreaa that tho Improve ment of river not only will permit of their carrying on their waters fleet of boat homing the commerce of thn country, but It will also prevent In large measure tho great damage done each ynar by flood and freshets. With tho rivers Improved by deeper channels to provide for all stage of water, their enormous Iobs to tho country at largo each year would bo nl viiiteil. while at the aamo tlmo tho gain made by tho stimulation to com merce would be vast. The National HI vers ami Harbors Congress Is Beck ing to have the government devoto $50, 000,000 a year to this work, nnd It is endeavoring to make Its apponl the more powerful by adding to Us mem bership, which now Includes shippers, business organizations and Individuals In every Stato In the Union.

When it was opened by Co. liusbey, Speaker Cannon's private sec retary, It proved to be from Columbus, ()., but the writer failed to attach his slgnuture.

Tho letter ha been placed among Uncle Joe's collection of curios. coast artillery service, for which branch It can secure neither the neces sary number of men nor officers. A large number of guns and much ex pensive coast defense material Is ly ing Idlo at the present time because the government can not find men to man tho engines ot war. For the same reason, the now battleship Vermont Is not being fitted out, tho Navy Depart ment being unable to enlist recruits fast enough to equip a newer navy. In these times of piping peace both tho War and Navy departments are hard pressed to find both men and officers. At Annapolis tho staff of In structors Is so depleted that it has been noceasary to press Into service some of. the upper classmen to direct the study of the newcomers The War Department faces a like condition In However, this condition of affairs Is not worrying tho cadets at Annap olis to any great extent.
