Germany Builds Greater Canal and Abyssinia Gift Gaffe
The piece notes Germany enlarging the Kiel to Brunsbüttel canal at a cost of 55.6 million dollars, with larger locks than Panama, and a likely April opening. It also mentions the U S sending John Q.

The article surveys criminal reform shifts in Iowa and Colorado, then marks the May 17 Norway independence centennial with a large Norwegian-American celebration and a 100-voice choir led by Julius Jager, with possible Kossuth representation.
