i odd; memories of the war will be that
( of. Ithe music of the great guns, bomb
j ingj from ; the Lidi and the nests of
i reedy islets in the northern lagoou.
' That music accompanies you all day
f iniVenice.
vThe Queen of the Adriatic has her
I face- to the foe. She has shut her
' shops and sent her merchandise away
The army or the navy have taken her
h young men. Those that remain have
i bricked up or sand-bagged her church
es es and monuments and now await the
issue in entire calmjconfident that al
i though the enemy is no more than a
r long-gun shot away, it is not at her
: own gates that Venice is menaced
I ' From Burano, a motor-boat takes
j yottlthrough a maze of channels into
I the: canal Sflone where you thread
your way between reed covered banks
toward the mainland. You can see
j nothing but the channel and the reeds,
i' There is not a roof nor a spire in
I sight. We ares getting up to what may
j ' be 'called the artillery defense line of
j 'Venice. On the way we passed
j British monitor with her big guns
pdinted inland. The coast batteries
i and; big gun monitors constitute au-
other; defense line. Here in the salt
; channel between the islands we come
f suddenly upon a floating battery or
pontoon, as the Italians call them. It
is a big steel barge mounting a gun
which has been pounding the Aus-trlans-
on the Piave Vecchia all night.
She ;is- manned by sailors for the ar
tillery defense of Venice is entirely in
the hands of the navy.
. .From Porte Qrandi, as far as the
-eya?can see the land is- covered with
waste of muddy water, rows of half
submerged willows marking out the
fteldsf which it - covers and here and
p there isolated clumps of farm build-
tings'-emerging from the' floods. We
,' '-are -here on. the edge of the Piave fi
undations and in. another tiaval. artil
lery belt. High banked roads, dike
j and farm houses are all that remain
ahova water. Someof- these farm
j house islands are held by Austrians
' and some by Italians and it is the aim
j of both sides to destroy the farms
held by the enemy. A few nights ago
somev Italian sailors undertook a cut-
2 ting put expedition against one of the
Austrian islands, captured and burn-
, ed the buildings and came back with
, Austrian prisoners.
: ', Nothing more dismal can be imag-
Mned 'than this' battlefield among the
j reeds except the awful desolation of
tne jjianaers iront. unending water,
i naif drowned, willows and farm nous

about, as melancholy a picture as even
war presents. On many of the is
lands "formed by the release of the
floodso . protect Venice are brave
families clinging to their homes in
the'Jlope that 1918 will see the in-
. yader; thrown back.
' ' On this sector the Italians have
a
; superiority of artillery. It is at night
; that the Italian guns do their hardest
work. At night the Austrians always
attempt to construct field works or to

In Venice, herself, I have seen no

the pillars of the Dodge's Palace have
been bricked up so that nothing o

TIDE WATER
PRESENTS
ITS M OF
Letter Addressed to Council-
man Bunting Relative to
Ughtless! Nights 1
In connection, with the proposition
of the Tidewater Power company
with regard to the payment for elec
tricity because "of the lightless. night
rule, which was under discussion at
yesterday's Council meeting, the f ol-
owing letter, to , Councilman Bunting
s of interest':
- "January 14th, .1918.
"Mr. L. Mr Bunting, Chairman, -
"Special ommtttee City Council,
"Wilmington, N. C.
"Dear Sir: . - : "
"Referring to the conference held
with your committee in regard to a
proper allowance, or rdeduction, for
he street lights ordered to be extin
guished two nights per week in com
pliance with the ruling of the Fuel
Administrator, we ould like to make
the position of the . Tidewater Power
Company entirely clear.
It goes without , saying that both
the City Administration and the Tide
water Power Company (or either of
them whose duty it may be) are as a
matter of patriotism entirely willing
to comply with the order of the Fuel
Administrator, for the purpose of sav
ing fuel.
A careful reading of the instruc
tions issued by the Fuel Administra
tor shows that the intention is not
to, interfere unnecessarily with muni
cipal lighting contracts. The request
is made to cover particularly 'clus
ter' lighting, which is a wasteful sys
tern, and which for that reason was
not adopted for the new lighting sys
tem of the City of Wilmington.
As the street lighting contracted
for by the city is approximately what
is needed, and of economical type, the
actual saying in coal to be made by
complying . with the request of the
Fuel Administrator is something less
than $400 per year. There is a psy
chological advantage, but also a real
danger, in darkening the principal
streets twice week, which should be
considered by the City, in determin
ing how far to go in this . direction,
and whether an additional loss of
$600 per annum is compensated for
in results obtained
In other words, there will be an
expenditure of $1.50 (plus the loss of
the lighting) in order to save $1.00
worth of coal. Any saving would, of
course, be credited to the city.
The Tidewater ... Power Company
has"contracted to furnish this light
ing to the city, atftrwa'tfart of the
contract has t Invested , in the neces-
ry equipment and assumed. all the
icessry expenses. The city has
Eflhtracted in consideration of this to
use the lights, and it is certainly an
open question as to whom the Fuel
Administrator's order is . directed or
given. In other words, whether the
city is ordered to darken its streets
for two nights a week, or. whether
the Tidewater Power Company is or
dered, to decline to furnish the city
witha certain amount o f current
which it has sold to the city.
"It is the company's view that the
city is, under the terms of the con
tract, the party to say whether it de
mands or relinquishes the lighting;
and in order to maintain the integrity
of the contract it is important that
this point be decided.
From the' report in the daily pa
pers it seem b that your committee,
under the advice of the City Attor
ney, stands squarely on the terms
of the contract with the Tidewater
Power Company, and particularly as
to lights reported out by the Police
Department, under Clause No. 9. This
clause, in our opinion contemplates
solely causes due to accidents or
negligence on the part of the com
pany, or the inability of the company
to furnish the lighting. But in the
case under consideration the com
pany is able and willing and is under
contract with the city to furnish the
lighting.
The company respects the wish of
your committee to stand entirely on
the terms of the contract,, and is
equally anxious to 'adhere to its terms.
We therefore suggest that we select
a committee of arbitration and abide
by its Interpretation of the terms of
the contract.
"Yours very truly,
'TIDEWATER POWER COMPANY.
"R. HUNT,
"Asst. General Manager."
The following statement was made
by 'Councilman Shepherd with regard
to the suspension 61- Fireman Frei-
muth:
"January 14, 1918.
"Mr. L. Freimuth, City.
'Dear Sir: I am this day suspend
ing you indefinitely for the following
charge: For not giving ' your entire
time to the city, which is required by
ordinance. I have had complaints
from the merchants of the city as well
as the general public to that effect. I
also know of my own knowledge that
you have been neglecting your work,
and it is my opinion that it is unfair
to the merchants to allow you to give
part of your time to your merchan
dise business and draw a salary from
the city. I am, therefore, suspend
ing you, as I take it as my duty as
councilman of the Fire Department.

THE CASE
DESIRES SUPPORT OF ,
WATERWAY S FRIENDS
Attention - is Directed to One
Clause in Federal Trans
- portation Bill
(Special to The Dispatch.)
Washington, D. C, Jan. 17.- "In the
bill to provide for the operation of
transportation systems while under
Federal control, which has been in
troduced in both the Senate ahd , the
House, there is a paragraph which
should command . the earnest support
not only of every friend of waterways
butt of every loyal citizen of the
United States," says . Hon. Jos. K.
Ransdell, United States Senator from
Louisiana and President of the Na
tional Rivers and Harbors Congress.
"Section 6 of the bilV . continued
the Senator, "provides for the estab
lishment of what is called 'a 'revolv
ing fund, of $500,000,000, and the iast
paragraph of that section reads as fol
lows: .
" 'From . said revolving fund the
President may expend Buch an amount
as he may deem necessary or desir
able for the purchase, construction,
or utilization and operation of boats,
barges, tugs, and other transporta
tion facilities on the inland and coast
wise waterways, and may in the ac
quisition, and use of such facilities
create or employ such agencies ahd
enter into such contracts and agree
ments as he shall deem in the pub
lic interest.
"In the city of New York, people
have been found frozen to death in
their hdmes and the death rate from
pneumonia has mounted higher than
ever before. In Pholadelphla, the
City Health Officer says therd is Ill
ness in 10,000 homes because of lack
of coal. In Boston, when it was re
ported that barges containing coal
were to arrive, long lines of peo
ple stood in the streets all night In
the bitter cold, hoping to share in its
distribution. In Washington, the
capital of the nation, 11 persons were
burned to death in eleven days, their
clothing having caught fire from the
gas and oil heaters -which they were
usihg because coal was not to be had.
These are only samples , of conditions
which have extended -far and wide
over the country.
"There was in reality no lack of
coal; the trouble was a lack of trans
portation facilities for Its distribu
tion, and it the waterways of the Unit
fid States had been improved and utll
ized, as they should have been, all of
this suffering might have been avoid
ed, "We have been told that for win
ning the war the supreme need is
ships, and ships costing hundreds of
millions of dollars are now under con
struction. -But, according to The New
Yor Times, , more, than a hundred
ships, loaded with a million tons of
food,' munitions and supplies which
are sorely- needed in England, France
and Italy, have been lying in the har
Dor, some or tnem lor more than a
month, waiting for bunker coal!
Ships are needed, of course, but for
the coal they burn and the cargoes
they carry they are dependent on in
land transportation.
"Another press dispatch recently
stated that work's which normally
furnish 10 per cent, of the total steel
production of the United States were
closed for lack of coal, and this when
the country is at war and every pound
of steel that can be produced is more
urgently needed than ever before in
th world's history, or will ever be
needed again, let us hope, as long as
the world shall last.
"The United States is able to pro
duce everything that is needed both
for the health and comfort of its
people, and for the supply of Its Na
vy on the seas and its Armies in the
field, but unless every possible meth
od of transportation is made avail
able at the earliest possible time and
used to its full capacity, suffering
and death will continue to stalk over
our own land and we Btand more
than an even chance to lose this war
and see humanity go beneath th9
heel of the Hun.
- "It is vitally important that this
paragraph shall remain in the bill
when it is passed, and everyone who
reads these lines Is urged to write
at once to the Senators arid Repre
sentatives from his State asking them
to work and vote for this feature of
the bill.'

probably released from each Camp to
be placed at the disposal of the cam

"In a large measure the success
which has attended the work of the
Army Y. M. C. A. in the Southeastern
Department is due to the training and
leadership furnished by the Blue

been practically impossible to have
manned our Camps without the assis
tance of Blue ' Ridge Summer school

Work in 1917," according to execu

Before mid-summer it will be neces
sary to train' approximately 600 Army
Y. M. C. A. workers and about 1,000
new secretaries for city associations
in classes to be conducted at Blue

Young America Watched Vet-
ran
r ranee in Inspiring ;
Military Ceremony v
With the French Armies in the
Field, Dec. 10 (By Mail). Young Am
erica silently watched veteran France
today in one of the most inspiring mil
itary ceremonies of recent months,
carried out on the edge of a shell bat
tered city and within sound of the
combined rumble of French and Ger
man guns. ' 1
It was the aftermath of the recent
splendid French victory on the Chem
in des Dames where the poilus thor
oughly beat the Germans and took
thousands of prisoners and scores of
guns.
The' veteran regiments whose tatter
ed battle , flags have appeared with
glory in many t battles since 1914 were
officially honored by the French army
through its commander-in-chief. Men
who had especially distinguished them
selves iin the face of the enemy were
decorated by the hand of the Gener
alissimo himself.
Young American student officers
from a neighboring school who wit
nessed the ceremony took no part.
But they saw the counterpart of such
a military procedure that could only
come to them after American troops
have emulated the poilus the hope
and ideal of all of the young Ameri
cans who today could only stand by
and admire.
An aeroplane view of the ceremony
might have recorded it as a giant pic
ture frame of solid horizon blue dot
ted with the glistening pin-points of
hundreds of bayonets and surround
ing a sodden, rain-soaked field of
many acres., Sprinkled along the in
ner rim of the frame were , the war
worn battle, flags of the various units.
In the distance were the hills from
behind which the noise of war never
ceases night and day and nearby the
partially ruined city.
With the stage thus set, the commander-in-chief
arrives. Followed by
his staff, he makes a quick march of
inspection around the enclosure and
then takes a position in the center uf
the field. Here, generals, colonels,
captains, lieutenants, and poilus alike
who have performed special deeds of
individual valor are assembled.1 A
priest in a long black cloak and wear
ing a steel helmet is among them.
A record of each man's achievement
is read aloud and the Generalissimo
steps forward, pins a medal on the
breast of the soldier, congratulates
him and steps back. A stiff salute from
each ends the little ceremony and it
goes on until every man has receiv
ed the thanks of France and has been
an actor with his highest comnander
in , solemn ritual which he wlU re
member to the end of his life.
Then tne human picture frame
iu une Blue anu iu iruui ui nis suiu,
the commander-in-chief watches solid
soldier columns parade before him.
He salutes each battle flag as it pass
es. Today, against a dull, leaden over
cast sky the long polished bayonets
gleamed as they rose and fell in per
fect time. They seemed td almost
pierce the low hanging clouds as the
men who had most recently used .them
on the Germans marched by in hun
dreds. Leading those bayonets, on a
prancing black horse, was their gen
eral, who had just received the Grand
Cordon of the Legion of Honor.
To the small group of budding Am
erican officers wearing their new soup
plate helmets, the spectacle, the rum
bling of distant guns, the faint rat-tat-tat
of a machine gun coming with the
wind helped to irdpress them, as po
tential leaders of American troops,
that they were really part and parcel
of the big war. But what impressed
them most according to several, was
the picture frame of French veterans,
the proud smart stride of men who
advanced toward their ;hief to re
ceive their medals and the perfect
rise and fall of the bayonets all aft
er three years of battle.
"Look at them after three years of
it," exclaimed a young Middle West
erner who a few months ago was a
student at Cornell. "We may be as
good some day, but we'll neverg5?
better soldiers. Six months from
I hope we'll be able to give the Gei
mans what these fellows gave them
at the Chemin des Dames. It's all we
ask."
The sentiment expressed was prob
ably that of the whole American army
in France. :
