LHASA.

The British will so TO Lhasa. That IS now
positively announced. There was probably no
such intention at the beginning Of the Tlbetan
campaign. 1t has been developed by the con-
duct Of the Tibetans themselves in resisting the
entry of the British into their country The
British theory is that 1t will be necessary now
to enter Lhasa in order to teach the Tibetans
n lesson. Perhaps. We shall see with what
grace the lesson Is received. It was doubtless
desirable that a treaty should be made between
Great Britain and Tibet. Nations whose terri
tories come into contact and whose peoples have
commercial relations with each other certainly
ought TO have treaties. But tnen to send an
invading force to fight its way through the
country and enter its capital may seem rather
strenuous mode Of negotiating a treaty. It sur
passes shirt sleeve diplomacy"
The sentimental aspect OF the case is not the
least interesting. 1t will mark an epoch in his
tory for a regiment OF Tommy Atkinses to
march into the Sacred City OF the Forbidden
Land. We have only to recall the experiences
of travellers from Hue 10 Landor to realize what
that will mean. Perhaps the entry and its dis
closures will be disappointing We rather
imagine they will. Lhasa will be found 10 be
much more commonplace city than romance
and tradition have pictured It, Just as was the
case with Timbuctoo. That the Dalai Lama
will drop dead Of sheer modification at such
violation OF the sanctities of the city, as his
Grand Chamberlain suggests is not to be ex-
pected. II that mysterious parsonage is not an
exception to the rule of human nature, he will
stay alive out Of simple curiosity, II nothing
else, TO see what the Englishmen are like We
should not be bit surprised to find that he Is
as curious about the outside world as il is about
him.
1t is something of an anachronism. anyway
for there TO be a Forbidden City or a Forbidden
Land. In this first decade of the twentieth cen
fury it would seem to be time for all the lands
and cities OF earth to be open to all men of
good viii. When Japan shut her doors against
us we bumped cannon muzzles against them
until she agreed 10 open them and she has been
exulring in the consequences ever since. 1t was
simply the best thing that ever happened to her.

WORK ON THE PANAMA CANAL
See opposite page for subscription rates.

The next few weeks will constitute critical
period in the history Of the Panama Canal.
-Four members of the commission which has
charge Of the enterprise have just gone 10 the
ssthmus again, where they VIII confer with the
afth and the civil Governor Of the canal zone
upon important questions Of policy. By Sep

mined whether the new construction shall be
effected by laborers employed directly by the

eight or ten months viii remain in which other
essential preparations can be made 1t is
doubtful whether excavation viii be actively
resumed before next July. II the interim the
commission or the contractors can arrange for
1he importation Of labor and secure the neces-
Eary mechanical equipment-nether OF which

Heeker has made an inventory Of the machin-
cry left by the recent owners Of the canal site
snd originally costing $29.000,0O0. Dredges, cars
and locomotives whose value IS nearly 81
100000 can probably be utilized. but nearly
everything else needed for the work must be
purchased anew. At times as many as fifteen
or sixteen thousand hands have been employed
on the canal, and at present only one thousand

Whether the new supply Of labor comes from
the West Indies or Asia, provision for It must
be made on a large scale.
II 10 reported that electrical machinery will
