It cannot be said in this matter, at all events, that the " President has shown greater wisdom or knowledge of affaira than the local officis, for as proposals contained in the peti tion which he has esnationed appear to be of the vaguest oharacter. Briefly they amount to this: that the West River shall. be properly drained with all haste" in order that there may be no more flooding of the surround- ing country that part of the relief fands shall be used for surveying the river; and that the fund for the whole "gigantio work" shall be raised by con- tributions from the riob riparian landowners and by a tax on the rice exported. In this way the petition says "an enormous sum will be sccared for the improve, ment of the river."

Famine is said by the post to be Germany's Economic Struzgie. the bosom friend and comrade of war, German economists had foreseen this in the terrible cam- paign they believed imminent, being fulfilled in the obstruction and their darkest predictions exe of commerce by the blockade of the North Sea and Baltic ports, through which the Fatherland received much of its grato and the raw products which supplied the mille and factories with materials for the line products which flooded the world. Thousands of hands are idle, we are told, and thousands of mon hs are hungry in the conflict which bas brought them to helplessness and starvation. In this conneo tion it is interesting to read an article by Dr. Karl Ballod, of. Berlin, in the Preussische Jahrbuecher (Berlin), an ab- stract of which is given in The Evening Post (New York).
