C., Sept. 13."There is no doubt that everyboc was greatly relieved when it was 1 nally settled that the threaten* railroad strike would not come oi but it is very doubtful," says a stat ment issued by the National Rive and Harbors Congress, "whethi anybody drew a deeper breath of r lief than certain people in the Na\ Department?and no one who kno\ what the navy people were up again will wonder that this is so. "The work of building and r pairing battleships and other nav craft must, of course, be done : shipyards located on the coast, bi practically all the material used boi for construction and repair comi from the interior, much of it fro points hundreds of miles from tid water. For instance, armor pla' comes from Bethlehem, Pa., ar steel, in many shapes for many use from Pittsburgh. "It is vitally important that th material shall be moved regular and continuously from the - poin where it is made to the places wh? it is to be used, and this movemei has been entirely by rail. Just i soon, therefore, as it was seen that general strike on the railroads < the country was actually impendin an investigation was started to si if there were any routes availab for its movement by water. For i stance, if work was to be continue on the battleship "New Mexico," would be necessary to move 2,6( tons of steel within six weeks fro the mills at Pittsburgh to the nai yard at Brooklyn. Could it be doi at all? Was there more than oi route, that could be used? If s what route was the best, the shorten and especially, the quickest? "The first thing discovered w that there is no map or documen official or otherwise, that shows < describes all the waterways in tl United States. The reports of tl Chief of Engineers give the fulle possible information as to the rive and harbors under control of tl War Department, b^t not a wo: about state-owned or private canal The General Staff and the War Cc lege have maps showing all lines < franannrtntinn in certflin ATeftH. SB cial studies of which have been mat in working out problems of defens but no maps or data covering tl country as a whole or any conside able portions thereof. Commerci maps and atlases were found to 1 worse than useless, x since most < them do not even pretend to sho any waterways except \ the princip rivers, and of the rest no two agr< in what they show. "It is only a little way frjom Pitt burgh to Lake Erie and ' a can: across this short cut has been bol proposed and oj>posed for mar years. So far the opposers have woi but if the Navy Department coul have got hold of Aladdin's lamp tw weeks ago, that canal would ha\ been built quicker than a wink. Wil a sigh for what might have b'een, at ought to bq, but isn't, the naval ii vestigators turnedi hopefully to tt three canals across the state of Ohl only to find after a strenuous searc that the best of the lot has sectioi twenty miles long which have r water in them, and ttiat the only ws to get from Pittsburgh to the Laki by water is to go down the Ohio, v the Mississippi and the Illinois ar through sixty miles or more of tl out-of-date Illinois and Michigs canal to Chicago. Another possib route from Pittsburgh to Brooklj was down the Ohio and Mississip] and thep by ocean steamer from Ne Orleans. "A little farther search revealc the fact that no dependence could 1 placed on' the Ohio, because this the season of low water and not on third of the dams needed ,to insui a nine foot channel have yet bee completed. Material started doin the Ohio might get through, but s the probabilities wqre that it wou! get stuck on a sandbar?and sts there until the November rail should bring a rise in' the rive Sometimes it happens, too, that tl November rains do not come un1 January. Almost in desperation i the situation with which theyx wei confronted the navy men were tr; ing to arrange to ship by trolley cai from Pittsburgh to Cleveland, ar thence by lake to Buffalo and Er canal and Hudson river to Brooklyi when the emergency legislation pas ed by Congress caused the strike 1 be called off. lir* iL. J coon "XI me WUIU uca^ciowva ?VVM too strong, it must be remembere that, besides the 'New Mexico,' thei were under construction five oth< battleships, ten destroyers, foi auxiliary vessels and 32 submarine Work on every one of these woul have to stop if a strike should lai two weeks. More than that, Congre: had just appropriated nearly $316 000,000 with which to build som thine like sixty additional vessels f< the navy, and not one of these coul be begun. And in addition to all tl rest, when the threat of a strike b came acute the navy had only two weeks' supply of coal on haiv By buying everything within reac! a sufficient supply was secured f< ten days or two weeks more. Bi if a strike should last a month, e1 ery ship in the navy, except tl very few that use oil for fuel, wou have to tie up to the dock and 1: there as helpless as 'a painted sh upon a painted ocean.' "Because it leads out from one < the greatest coal fields and from tl greatest steel manufacturing cent< of the world, a completely improve* definitely dependable Ohio riv< would, in case of such a strike, i has just been temporarily avertei be worth more to the navy alor than its improvement will cost, the coal and steel that it could can should save us from attack by a enemy wnen our navy was neipiee it would be worth more to the n tion that all that ever has been i ever will be spent on all the wate: ways of the United States. Yet tl filibusters conducted by former Sei ator Burton have seriously delayc the work upon the Ohio?and on < every other waterway and harbor or in the land?and the Senator who led the filibuster against the River ami < Harbor bill of 1916 tried to cut out i ? the whole appropriation for the Ohio 1 ly and stop the work entirely.

The bowels must have restored to them their tone, and regularity established and this ? must be done, not by pills, calomel and other laxatives, that will only last for a time but REGULARITY must be established and DIGESTION RESTORED by a chemical combination of drugs that will s^ive a perfect digestion.
