THE BALTIC CANAL

In the construction of a canal across
che Schleswig Holstein peninsula, con-
Meeting the Baltic sea with the North
sea, the Germans have achieved an under
taking in many ways similar ID the Mic
aragua canal. The distance is by no
means as great, being in total little
more than sixty miles. and the cost is less
than half the estimated cost of the Nicar-
aqua enterprise. 1t has taken eight years
and $40, 000. 900 to build this canal, and 1t
will be thrown open to the commerce OF
the world in June of this year.
The great value of this canal to the
German empire lies in the fact that it
will transform it from an inland to
maritime nation. The only outlet from
the Baltic sea, where all German ocean
commerce must originate, to the At
lantc lay through the narrow and wind
ing channels around the Jutland penin-
sula. where. it is stated, an average of 200
vessels are foundered every year. The
coast OF the Baltic abounds in good har-
bors. one of th4 best of which is Kiel, the
eastern terminus OF the canal. With
splendid natural resources for shipbuild-
ing, and with abundant products to send
aDTOdu, OeTHlduy inlSi1 haNO OSOuPicu IL
front rank as maritime commercial ma
ton. had it not been for the difficulty of
getting to the ocean.
Ever since the unitication OF the empire
under the controlling influence of Bis
marck. the construction OF this canal has
been the dream of German traders, as the
building of the Nicaragua canal is the
hope and prayer of the people on this
coast The Schleswig- Holstein territory
was undoubtedly secured as step in
this direction. When the project was first
publicly broached opposition developed
from some quarters, on the ground that
in time of war the canal might be cap
tured and held by an enemy, to the great
danger of the empire. The commercial
spirit. however, overruled the conserva-
tive military element and the canal is
now an accomplished fact.
The canal is constructed on an ample
plan, being 200 feet in width at the top
and S5 at the bottom, with a minimum
depth of % feet. This will allow the easy
movement of the largest cean-going ves-
sells. 1t is lighted from end to end by
electricity. 1t is estimated that 1900 ships
will pass through it the first year, which
shows the part it is to play in the COM
merce of the world from the very start.
AS time passes the existence of the canal
will undou 5tedly give great impetus to
shipbuilding and to ocean commerce in
Germany, and will also bring her to the
front as u naval power.
The lesson for Americans in the con-
struction of the Baltic canal is that to
solidify and strengthen our own country
and establish its commerce on perma-
nent and lasting basis, we must open the
waterway from the Atlantic to the Pacific
at Nicaragua.
