Mysterious Disappearance Of Last
Years Belgian Hare.
New York sun.
What in the name OF humanity has be-
come Of that wonderfully interesting little
chap, possessed OF more virtues to the
square inch than all the rest Of the animal
kingdom combined, the Belgian hare9 Less
than a year ago he was heralded far and
wide az the benefactor OF the universe.
Statesmen knelt at his shrine; legislators
considered his needs; associations were or
ganized bearing his name; banquets and
food shows were held in his honor; cpl
cures smacked their lips at the thought of
him; sportsmen delighted to sing his
praises; acres Of valuable land were set
apart for his benefit, and fortunes awaited
all who were shrewd enough to start q Bel
gian hare farm.
We were told that want or hard times
never could overtake us while BELGIAN
hares were in our midst and their COM
rades were in our orchards. Their flesh
was better than turkey; their fur beat seal
and otter, and in disposition they were tho
embodiment OF all that was gentle and
lovely. To breed and cultivate these hares
was the easiest thing out. They would eat
uncomplainingly whatever they could get,
and two hares we're all that a man needed to
start with, in. order to become independ-
emily rich in a very short time. Proof of
this was given in an authentic statement
printed about two years ago in the ArRo-
naut OF San Francisco. There It was shown
In estimating the hares' average rate OF In
crease, that one pair Of the animals would
be represented at the end of a year by
tgenty-twa. and that in FIVE years. II the In
crease went o. proportionately, the de-
scendants would number $500, 1922.
What, we ask. has happened to the Bel
giaL hare family7 Where are ell its his
torians n advance agents? Where are its
10000. 900 or more representatives who were
reported by the hares' census taker to be
living last year IN the United States, and
what have they done for posterity? Where
are the thousands OF tons of canned hare
supposed to have been put up" In Arizona
and other states Of the southwest And
what about the multitude OF people who,
having tasted hare meat, swore never to
forsake itH How are their appetites being
appeased3
These are momentous questions at the
present time, when meat is dear and the
landlord is memorable. Under other condi-
lions people might be feasting to the limit
on Belgian hare baked or broiIed or roasted.

PANAMA. ChNIL PROBLEMS.

The question Of the selection Of an
isthmian canal route has not yet been
decided. The general judgment is that
the Panama will be the route selected
and there is no doubt that public opinion
is very largely in favor of this. Yet
the advocates of the other route appear
not to have absolutely abandoned hope
that 1t may ultimately be selected, rely
ing upon complications, legal or other
wise. to change sentiment in favor OF
the Nicaragua project. There is no
doubt that there are among our public
men many who still most confidently
believe that the Panama route is abso-
lutely impracticable and would place
the United States at a disadvantage
both strategically and commercially.
Members Of congress who favored the
Nicaragua route are still insistent that
they are right and are hoping that their
view win be adopted, either by the adj
ministration or by congress.
There has been nothing developed by
which 1t can be confidently asserted
which route viii be selected. The gov
eminent has yet to ascertain whether It
can get an unquestionable title to the
property and franchises Of the new
Panama Canal company and also
whether 1t can secure from the govern
ment Of Colombia such concessions as
are required by the act Of congress. Rep
resentatives Of the government are now
in France to learn what is necessary to
enable this government to secure an
absolute title and the Colombian gov
eminent, worried though 1t is with do
nestle revolution, is considering the
terms upon which it shall make the re-
quired concessions to the United States.
Thus there are problems presented the
solution OF which L. by no means
simple
So far as the first OF these is con-
cerned-that is, the French company's
requirements-there is probably no
doubt that a perfectly satisfactory set
Element can be made. There has been
nothing to indicate that this cannot be
done. With regard to the concessions
required from Colombia, however, less
confidence can be felt. The revolution
airy disturbances in that country and the
~upheavals that constantly menacs it rem
der uncertain any arrangements or
agreements that may be entered into.
While it Is true that the United States
would be able to enforce any treaty
with Colombia, 1t would be unpleasant
10 have to do this and consequently 1t
Is most desirable that absolute peace
shall prevail there and that the govern
ment shall be on a stable basis before
any agreement is made between Colon
bia and the United States regarding the
Panama canal.
The fact is now very generally recog-
nized that from a practical point Of
view the Panama route is to be pre-
ferred. but there are conditions and cir
cumstances which still cause some
doubt as to whether that route will be
selected.
