WELCOME BY ALL
CHICAGO, 111., May t—'Tired and
travel worn, duRt begrimed from long
and tedious hours spent in packed
coaches, soldiers of the United States
traveling through this city are be
ing cheered’most effectively by the
“Canteen Service” of the Chicago
Chapter of the American Red Cross.
Steaming coffee, sandwiches pre
*
pared by mothers, many of whose
sons are in France, chocolates, home
made cookies, magazines, books, and
tobacco—all these are given to the
traveling troops.
For several months the service has
| been conducted under secret orders,
j the Red Cross being notified an hour
! in advance of the arrival of all trains
: carrying boys in khaki. Members of
the unit are the only persons in
' Chicago informed in this manner of
i the movements of the soldiers.
Women of social note have been
i most active in this volunteer work.
The success of the service is attest
f ed hv the erection now nnHer wav of
the “Triple A” building, which will
1 become the headquarters of the unit.
Distribution of food delicacies and
! reading matter, however, is not the
| entire scope of the w*rk of this unit,
j Service is the watchword. Postcards
1 are supplied the men that
i they may write home. Messages are
; taken and *promptly attended to by
members of the unit. Many soldiers
| give the workers telephone numbers
to call just for a friendly “Hello’’ to
j acquaintances and relatives.
When word is received of the im
minent arrival of a troop train, auto
j mobiles, the use of which is given for
; this work, are sent with well filled
| baskets to the depot. The workers
pass the baskets through the coaches
| and gain reward for their efforts from
| the unqualified delight that shines
i from every bronzed face.

BUENOS AIRES, May 2.—A syn
dicate of capitalists has just peti-!
tioned the minister of public works I
for a concession permitting the con-;
struction of a navigable canal from
the port of Buenos Aires to the city
of Cordoba, a distance of 530 miles.
The route of the proposed canal is
through the richest grain lands of the
republic, and the project is designed
to facilitate the movement of agri
cultural products to the port. The
petition was signed by Charles E.
Shaw.
It is proposed to begin the canal
near the outskirts of the federal dis
trict, connecting it with the Little
Riachuelo river, which runs to the
port, and which at present accommo
dates vessels from all parts of the
world which have come here for
grain, wool and hides. From this
point the canal would extend west
ward, crossing the northern part of
the province of Buenos Aires and
traversing the rich agricultural prov
ince of Santa Fe to the boundary of
the province of Cordoba, where the
direction would be northwest through
the department of Santa Maria to the
city of Cordoba.
Ports would be built in the cities
and towns of Moron, Rodriguez, Mer
cedes, Chacabuco, Junin, Arenales,
Teodolina, Venado Tuerto, La Car
lota, La Laguna and San Antonio.
Westward from Villa Maria the canal
would parallel the right of way of the
Central Argentine railway for thir
teen miles to San Antonio, from which
it would run northward to the city
of Cordoba.
The syndicate requests a conces
sion permitting it to operate the canal
for seventy years, after which the
entire work w'ill be turned over to
the nation, the syndicate agreeing dur
ng the seventy years to operate at
tariffs lower than those of the rail
ways. A representative of the syndi
cate says the capital for digging the
canal has been subscribed.
The idea of a canal from Cordoba
to Buenos Aires is not a new one. The
project that has long been recognized
by Argentines as one that must be
undertaken sooner or later.
