BALTIC CONTROL
B!THE GERMANS
With Help of New Ship Canal,
Connecting Kiel Bay With
River Elbe, Tuetons Now in
Charge
With the help of her new ship canal,
connecting Kiel Bay with the Kiver
Kibe and thus the North Sea, Ger
many is now in complete control of
the Baltic Sea. When the German
Kmperor last June formerly opened
the Kaiser Wilhelm Canal, or as it is
oftener called, the Kiel Canal, he
made his final preparation for war,
according to certain military experts.
The canal which Is sixty miles In
lenth. Joins Kiel, a strong naval port,
with the mouth of the Elbe, near
which lies Wllhelmshaven, the head
quarters of the German navy.
The canal which thus connects the
Baltic and the North Sea. was begun
In 1887. It was completed in 1895,
hut It soon developed that it was not
big enough. Provision had not been
made for the accommodation of war
ships and merchant ships of the size
of modern vessels. Ho it was deter
mined to enlarge the canal. This
work was completed last June.
Original Canal.
The original canal was 213 feet
wide at the surface and seventy-two
feet on the bottom, with a depth of
29Vj f p et. In 1908 work was com
menced to make the canal double the
original width at the bottom and 36
feet deep. To celebrate the comple
tion of the work, a squadron of Brit
ish dreadnoughts went through the
canal to Kiel, accompanied by a
squadron of German warships, the
Kaiser himself standing on the bridge
of the Hohenzollern, which led the
way.
Kiel Is the chief naval port on the
Baltic. It is 70 miles from Hamburg
and its harbor is big enough to float
all the warships in the world. It is
II miles long, 414 miles wide at its
mouth, and a quarter of a mile wide at
the south end. It has a uniform depth
of water of 40 feet. At Kiel there are
imperial docks, ship-building yards,
and basins large enough to hold the
biggest dreadnoughts. The name of
Kiel goes back to the tenth century.
Then It was spelled Kyi, and meant a
safe place for ships. It is very strong
ly fortified, having two forts at the
entrance on its western side and four
forts on the east side.
Netherlands Frontier.
At the Elbe entrance to the canal Is
the town of Brunsbuttel and from that
point on as far west as the Nether
lands frontier, there are a string of
Immensely powerful forts which guard
the entrance to the Rivers Elbe and
| Weser and Em* and particularly pro
i tect Wllhemshaven, the great naval
j port of the North Sea. Bremerhaven
and further Inland, Hamburg and
Bremen.
In front of the mouth of the Elbe
are sand banks and In front of these
is tlie powerful island fortress of
Heligoland. This island was ceded to
Germany by the British In 1890., It
lies 2S miles from the mainland, and
the Gertnuns have made It a second
Gibraltar.
It Is also the headquarters of the
big German dirigibles and In this war
the British fear that these balloons
can cross the channel and drop bombs
on lamdon.
' Without the Kiel Canal, the Ger
man warships would he at the mercy
of the British navy, hut with It. the
Germans control the Baltic and do
not have to fight unless they want to.
The British fleet far outnumbers
the German nnd to give battle now
I would be fatal to German success on
the sea
By way of the canal It Is only a
passage of eighty miles from th#
North Bea to the Baltic, while to go
around by way of Denmark, as any
but German ships would hove to do,
it Is 630 miles.

BENEFICIAL PLANS ARE AIDING
CONSTRUCTION WORK IN SOUTH
Columbus, Ga.—The Industrial Index
says In its issue f(Jr this week:
“There are numerous evidences that
the shock and uncertainty which busi
ness has suffered is spending its force.
The men of this section are answering
the call of patriotism and of good busi
ness sense. Confidence, which has never
been lacking, is growing stronger, and
there is a perceptible returning of busi
ness to its regular channels.
“Business men of this section are aid
ing with notable earnestness the efforts
to restore normal conditions as nearly as
possible. In addition to what the Na
tional government and money centers in
the East aVe endeavoring to do, business
men of the Southeast are perfecting
beneficial (plans. An association has been
organized at Jacksonville, Fla., to furn
ish money upon cotton and naval stores
and tobacco, the initial membership in
cluding 19 Florida banks with capital
and surplus aggregating more than $5,-
000,000.
“A cotton Holding Company is being
organized at Atlanta, Ga., and applica
tion will be made for incorporation, the
capital stock to be $1,000,000, with pri
vilege of increasing to as much as SIOO,-
000.000.
“Earnest, devoted comprehensive ef
forts are being made and their scope
will be increased, so that before many
days literally millions of dollars will be
placed in circulation in the cotton coun
try as a result of loaning money upon
cotton stored in warehouses. This plan
provides for the grower of cotton to
continue to own it so that he will get
the benefit of the incTeasfed prices that
seem certain.

Medical Observations in The War Now
Being Fought Will Probably be More
Complete Than in Any Previous Conflict
London. —Medical observations In the
war now belilfe fought will be perhaps
more complete than In any previous
conflict. The science of hygiene, medi
cine. and surgery has advanced amaz
ingly since the last great war and every
nation will have eminent physicians In
the field to watch not only the effect of
modern projectiles and instruments of
war. but the endurance of men on the
field, tlip ptreentage of casualties and
the like.
Already, in the brief fighting In Bel
gium. It has been observed that present
day fighting Induces exhaustion that fi
nally deadens the senses, producing a
condition on the body and mind not un
like that of sun-stroke.
A I-on don medical correspondent sta
j tloned at Brussels, sent a report part of
which follows:
"I have had an opportunity during
the last few days of visiting several of
the great Brussels hospitals and ambu
i lances and of seeing some of the
wounded who have been sent down from
the front
"Two facts have struck me very for
cibly. First, a very large number of
i the Belgian soldiers are wounded only
In the legs, and secondly, many soldiers
I seem to have collapsed through sheer
exhaustion.
i In peace time one sees and hears lit
| tie or nothing of this extreme exhaus
tion because, of course, in peace time
the almost superpliyslcal Is not demand
ed. but war brings new- conditions.
"Some of these Belgian soldiers were
lat work and on the march during the
stupendous days of Wednesday and
Thursday of last week, practically with
out a moment's respite. They went lit
erally till they dropped. Only with ac
tual loss of consciousness was duty re
linquished.
"As a medical man this remarkable
state of affairs interested me enormous
ly. That force of will to fight and
struggle until the last gap of exhaustion
one sees often, of course, and a heat
stroke in hot climates is a commonplace,
but this type of exhaustion is, by It
self. the final triumph of brave spirits.
"The victims present a very alarming
appearance when first met. They seem
to be almost dead. They are limp and
pale and cold. After a time, however,
strength begins to return and recovery
Is usually not protracted.
"In every case the men wUio had been
knocked out In this manner expressed
the keenest desire to return at once to
the ranks. They seemed even to hold
themselves in some contempt. Many of
them have already had their wish.
"The fact that so many of the Bel
gian wounded had been shot in the legs
aroused considerable surprise at first in
medical circles. It soon became clear
that this was not merely a matter of
chance.
German Prisoners.

This was the first time that Atlanta
had felt the force of the campaign, the
committee beginning Its work only
Thursday mornig after having been hur
riedly, but effectively recruited the day
before by MV. Jones. Those who had
bought cotton previously at 10 cents a
pound had done so voluntarily and not
as a result of a systematic solicitation.
When the committee members swarm
ed forth upon the public the real cam
paign was begun. By Friday, therefore,
the executive committee confidently ex
pected that Atlanta's roll of honor of
cotton buyers, who had purchased some
thing more than a half thousand bales
in the preliminary days of the campaign,
would grow by leaps and bounds.
Thursday’s total reached 530 bales.
