BATTLES 01 THE
FRENCH CANALS
j _ -'4
j LONDON, Nov. 16.—Inland navies
j may’ ffg^re strongly soqffiin the war
news from the western front.
Constant pressure on*%ie German
front by the Anglo-Freirfh, according
to the British war experts, must inevi
tably mean a withdrawal of the Ger
man line now lying across northern
France and Flanders. This woulc^
throw the allies’ line hear and across
various canals and rivjsr&and bring a
new branch of warfare iiflo play. This
new branch would be.t* inland na
vies—river and canal hwfts rrhnqf
ing fairly heavy gur^WInd'manned
by experienced men.
As first announced by the United
Press correspondent on the French
front, General Foch’s canal navy has"
already been in action against heavy
German guns mounted on Mount St.
Quentin. These units, mostly moni
tors, operate silently and slowly on
the canals skirting the crooked course
of the river Somme. But in the ey-(
treme north of France and south <$*
Belgium, it is pointed out, rivers and
canals are more spaoious and afford
real opportunities for maneuvering.
These waterways also interlock so
that separate units aftd fleets may^^*
tend their activity to many areas.
Neither ordinary sldiers or sailors
would operate the lAd locked navies.
Such services as England’s Royal Ma
rine Light Infantry flhid Royal Marine
Artillery would servE These *' en are
highly trained for sfTch worklas are
their corresquidin£» units in the
French service!
The recent official announcement
■here that Sir Archibald Paris and oth
er |marine major-generals have been
sent to the front lefcds flavor to the
conjecture regarding the inland na
vies*
That the Germans may have alrea
dy organized their inland navy is
indicated by the appearance of great
1 numbers of German marines^on the
"Somme front. Some of these have
been captured. t
While the real, sea-going navies
continue to watch their chance to
clash, it is believed not improbable
that the inland fleets may yet be the
first to figure again in the news dis
patches.
WOULD TAX BRAZIL’S
GREAT GAMBLING GAME
RIO DE JANEIRO, Nov. 16.—That
2,500,000 contos or reis or about $800,
000,000 change hands annually in Bra
zil in the game of bicho, a gambling
game similar to “policy” as formerly
played in the United. States, was the
startling statement made by Senator
Erico Cohelo, who has presented a
bill in congress contemplating a five
per cent government tax on the bicho
game. If the Cohelo bill becomes a
law, as seems probable, the bicho
game will be legalized and will be
played openly instead of under police
ban as at present.
