CAPE COD CANAL NEARING COMPLETION
FROM the River Tiber that Rome
once worshiped to a bustling
office in Church street. New
York city, is a far cry, but the
void between the two has been
spanned.
Beneath those sluggish waters,
which received the prayer of a "Citi-
zen of Rome" and were braved by
tioth and Gaul and Vandal, lie, accord-
ing to archeologists, treasurers such
as the museums of the world do not
boast; treasures of bronze and of mar-
ble and gold, carved or melted into
wonder works of art; and, perhaps,
that fabled Candelabrum of the Jews,
of pure gold, of weight one talent and
a half, and three feet high.
The cry is to recover those treas-
ures. It was sent to James C. Stew-
art, a New York contractor, years ago.
and though nothing has been accom-
plished since then he has not lost in-
terest in the project, but is willing and
eager to give what assistance he can,
either technical or financial, to re-
cover the lost treasures of an ancient
day.
First Proposed Ten Years Ago.
It was nearly ten years ago that Mr.
Stewart first heard of the project from
Professor Clro, the Italian archeol-
ogist. At that time Mr. Stewart was
in England astonishing the engineer-
ing world by his feats and arousing
the admiration of King Edward and
the admiralty. v
He was one of the first American
pioneers to show England the effl-
in this country who would be willing
to subscribe the comparatively BinaU
amount necessary to carry it out. Per-
sonally I don't know why It Isn't done
or when It will be done, but 1 am sure
It will be sooner or later.
"I received my. first intimation of
the idea when 1 was over in England,
in 1902, building the VVestlnghouse
works and doing work for the English
admiralty. They made quite a bit of
fuss over our work at that time; the
rapidity of the methods, the general
efficiency, seemed to amaze them, and
as a result It got to be embarrassing
to pick up a paper. Weil, I suppose
that's why the Italians sent me the
data about the River Tiber.
Passively Interested.
"It interested me, of course, but
mostly in a historical and sentimental
way. I never took any action. But
I've been—what shall 1 say?—passive-
ly interested ever since.
"The idea that in that river bed may
lodge wonderful statues of marble and
bronze and busts and coins, as well as
implements and weapons of all sorts,
and that the Candelabrum of the
Covenant that stood in the Tabernacle
in King David's house may be resting
there, covered over with the silt of
centuries, makes one keen to help to
dig them out or to encourage others
to do so."
The quest for buried treasure is as
old as the human race itself. Ever
since the mythical expedition of the
Argonauts in search of the Golden
m
The great Cape Cod ship canal, which will be of immense service to coastwise traffic is now not far from
completion. This photograph of a section of the canal near Bournemouth, Mass, shows in the background a dyke
that must be dynamited before vessels can pass through.

Conditions in England Undoubtedly Are Rapidly Verging to the
Point Where a Bitter and Merciless War Will Be Waged—"Let
Them Die," Is Becoming Slogan of Englishmen Regard-
ing Imprisoned Women Who Refuse to Eat.
London.—"L<et them die!" Yes, but
will they die unavenged? Will the fa-
talities be all on one side? These are
the questions serious Englishmen ask
themselves today and the answers are
not comforting. Militant suffragettism
is undoubtedly verging rapidly to open
bloodshed.
Mrs. Pankhurst once said that to
make an Englishman pay attention to
anything you must hit him between
the eyes with a brick. It was on this
theory that she started a campaign of
milltantism, or as she put it, open revo-
lution against man-made government
and man-made institutions.
As the desired results failed to be
produced the suffragettes have in-
creased the dose. The first serious out-
rages on property were in 1012. Prior
to that they had been only isolated
cases, such as window breaking at the
home of the premier. Since 1912 the
fury of the women has increased in a
geometrical progression indicated by
the following estimates of property de-
stroyed;

SCENE. ALONG THE. TIBER.
•clency of American methods. His
fame spread; 'way off in Italy esthetic
dreamers and practical promoters
heard of him. And they wrote him
of what lay braeath the Tiber and
asked whether he could undertake the
■work, declaring that the Italian gov-
ernment was ready to grant conces-
sions.
Mr. Stewart was busy and the af-
fair languished. The treasures still
Temain where they were. But as the
[years have passed Mr. Stewart's in-
terest—practical, artistic and senti-
mental — h&s increased, until he Is
cready to associate himself with any
wne ready to encourage the work or to
svid any one who wants to undertake
It.
Mr. Stewart looks like a typical
(keen and alert American business
man. He is, but the lure of that treas-
ure hunting is upon him and he ad-
mits it with a smile.
"It's entirely practicable, though,"
eaid he. "It would be the easiest sort
of job. There would be no question of
diverting the course of the Tiber, but
merely one of dredging it, and that
could be readily and quickly accom-
plished. We own the most powerful
dredging machines in the world, and
the Tiber's bed of soft silt would offer
•us very little difficulty. We would ]ust
scoop the bed of the river up and prac-
tically go placer mining for the treas-
ures that I am ready to believe are
there. .
"I've never contemplated doing the
Job, because It's" never really been a
concern of mine. All T know is that
several archeologists and promoters
•wrote me about it years ago, but the '
matter dropped there.
"I know, too, that the plan has been
frequently proposed, but for some rea-
son or other never executed. Why
the Italian government doesn't take it
1n hand 1 don't understand; we would
do It over here. It would not be par-
ticularly costly and the findings, I'm
quite sure, would give us some of the
most wonderful works of art as well
br treasures to which an enormouB
sentimental interest would attach.

prosecute the work I am perfectly will-
ing to associate myself with them, or

Fleece of Colchis, men have wandered
all over the face of the earth in their
search for the hidden wealth that is
reputed to lie secure in many hiding
places. Even in this day of cynical
incredulity we hear, now and again,
of the outfitting of a new expedition
for the recovery of the pilfered gold
that noted freebooters extracted from
the holds of the Spanish galleons.
It is not remarkable, then, that even
so hard-headed an Individual as a
prosperous New York contractor
should be interested in the recovery
of a treasure that will make the pirate
spoils of Captain Kidd look, in com-
parison, like a handful of coppers.
Nor is it strange that the kingdom of
Italy should be willing to give its con-
sent to a plan that will enrich Its cof-
fers as well as benefit its national
capital, the city of Rome.
Militancy, few seem to remember,
has been the feature of but a small
percentage of the years of Mrs. Pank-
hurst's public career in the cause of
ballots for women; and it has been the
plan of attack of a much smaller per-
centage of the years through which
her family have struggled to put wom-
en on a political equality with men.
Her father and mother were strong
suffrage advocates and workers for
many decades before the present cele-
brated leader was old enough to mount
a stump. Other relatives of forgotten
days also spurred Mrs. Pankhurst to
her life work. She married a London
barrister, who was throughout his ca-
reer devoted to the women's cause.
Only many years after his death did
Mrs. Pankhurst and her three daugh-
ters startle the world with their appeal
to force.
It was the endless delays with which
the English government met them, the
wiles of constitutional subtleties, the
trickery, the broken promisee, the be-
lief that they might lose even with a
clear majority for them in the houseB
of parliament, which finally caused
ter a factory girl of remarkable char-
acter, were arrested.
In these days of wholesale arrests,
forcible feedings, ambulances, hatchets
and firebrands, this statement does not (
sound startling. But it shocked Eng-
land at the time. Intelligent English-
men knew the Pankhurst family, their
Intelligence, refinement and ability.
The brick seemed to take effect.
Mrs. Pankhurst then conceived her
militant plan. She resolved to press
her advantage. She said once that she
was helped to her decision by the ad-
vice of Sir Henry Campbell-Banner-
man, premier before Asquith: "You
will never win by quiet means. You
must pester and irritate."
To perfect the organization of her
militant force, Mrs. Pankhurst sought
and obtained an interview with Gen.
Bramwell Booth, commander of the
Salvation Army, and invited his advice
on the ordering of the great under-
taking.
The general counseled Mrs. Pank-
hurst to adopt a plan of military or-
ganization on lines largely similar to
that of the army. At iher request he
wrote out such explanation of the sys-
tem as seemed adapted to her needs
and advised her that as commanding

Rangers Learn How to Cook.
Men who are taking the Forest
Rangers' course at the College of Ag-
riculture, University of Wisconsin,
realize the bugbears of camp cookery
to the uninitiated. As a result they
have taken the opportunity offered
them of spending four hours a week in
the domestic science department, plan-
ning food combinations, learning the
fundamentals of cookery and studying
the market to know what and when
to buy. Practise is given in the prep-
aration of such foods as condensed
milk, desiccated eggs, dried fruits and
dehydrated vegetables.
A sample day's rations prepared by
the forest rangerB follows:
Breakfast—Stewed prunes, cream
of wheat, bacon, fried potatoes, toast
and coffee. Dinner—Tomato soup,
beefsteak, carrots, mashed potatoes,
bread and butter and pumpkin pie.
Supper—Creamed chipped beef, boiled
potatoes, bread, butter, jam and tea,

remark that Flibb's finances must be

Mrs. Emmellne Pankhurst.
Mr. and Mre. Pethick Lawrence, whose
wealth had been a great aid, left Mrs.
Pankhurst. They parted friends and
with perfect frankness on both sides.
At this time Mrs. Pankhurst Said:
"We have been grossly betrayed by
the government, and that warrants
militancy. It is our only weapon.
Alarmist rumors are afloat to the ef-
fect that'we intend to make attacks
upon human life. To that we give an
absolute and uncompromising denial."
But elx months later the pig-headed
methods of British officialdom had
caused her view to change. Follow-
ing her conviction in Old Bailey and
her sentence to three years' penal ser-
] vitude, Mrs. Pankhurst said (April 12,
1913): "Human life is now in peril,
for we have resolved no longer to re-
| spect it, and trouble of all sorts must
I be faced."
In her speech to the Judge and jury,
I she has furnished the motto for her
j suffragettes: "I deliberately broke the
law, not hysterically, not emotionally,
| but for a set and serious purpose, be-
cause I believe it is the only way."

struction of $4,540,000 worth of prop-
erty has been without effect, actual re-
bellion with firearms?
