TYPE OF CANAL FIXED.
Sea-Level Waterway at Panama IL
RcCom M

s~ea-LeVel Waterway at Panama Is
c"omInended
That the earthquake which DESTROYED
San Francisco was an important factor
IN determining the vote of the Senate
Committee on ~Intpr-oceanic Canals in
favor of a sen-level type, IS apparent
from the fact that Il feature of the ma
jority report is Il discussion of the eff
feet such an earth wave might have
OF locks and dams.
The majority report in favor of n
sea-level canal was submitted to Con
gress Wednesday by Senator Kit
tredge. On the subject of danger from
earthquakes on the iSthmus and the
possible effect on the two types Of
canal proposed the report says:
That the isthmus of Panama is not
exempt from earthquakes conclusively
appears, and We can have no guaranty
thar the canal zuIr viii in Cue future be
exempt from such disaster.
The canal structures that would be
most exposed to injury by the passing of
earth's surface, are the locks proposed by

of feet, or even 1000 or 1900 feet long
be more than seventy five feet high and
entirely unsupported on one side save for
a part of the height by water.
If these walls should be moved at all
the natural and probable result would be
in their leaning and so preventing the
closing of the gates. But the most likely
nfTn,t Of v,,,1, ,I,n,Iy u,,,11 bo ,hn 60, ,t :, rn
Of these locks, in repairing of which much
time-months or years-might be requir-
ed.
An earth dam on an ~alluvial base. as
proposed by the minority, might be fs-
sured if the earthquake passed the local
ity, and if a crack in the dam or its base
should open, the dam would go out, the
lock drain. and the canal be ruined. What
would happen to the aqueduct, conduits.
pipes and valves buried in the concrete
walls, used for filling and emptying the
locks, cannot be well coniectured.
The report says that the conclusion
has been reached hat the following prop
o~sitions are irrrfutable:
That the ideal canal is one at sea level ::
that its construction would be attended
with no more, and probably with less
hazard than one with locks and dams on
doubtful foundations; that the sea level
canal is safer and more convenient than
one with locks that it would take but lit
tie longer time to build that it is the SIM
pier and the more economical in operation
and maintenance.
The majority report concludes that the
sea level canal would not require more
than two or three years more than the
lock type.

CCrl.y,s Nrrrfnne Relations.

Since the general outcry against Max
i'm Gotky, the Russian writer and revo-
Iutionist, when it was made known that
Nine. Andreiva was not legally his vile
and that he had not a legal divorce from
his first wife, a statement of his side of
the case by Leroy Scott has been pub
Iished. 1t appears that Mr.. Gorky's mar
riage with his first wife was unhappy and
that separation by mutual consent oc-
Cured three years ago. For political, le-
gal and moral reasons it was impossible
for them to obtain a divorce. The diff
Guilty of securing divorces and the disrep-
ntable means that must be employed nave
created the custom in Russia of accepting
"a man and woman as husband and wife
who publicly acknowledge that relation.
The first Mrs. Gorky was remarked, ac-
cording to this custom, which has existed
for over sixty years. 1t was under these
circumstances that Mr.. Gorky was Joined
to Nine. Andreiva, who was a woman of
noble family and an actress of high stand
ing, who gave all to the cause of liberty.
In this aspect of the case the condemna-
ton of the American attitude toward
Gorky by the press of Europe has now
become somewhat more Ineligible.

petter Teaching of Three Rs.

Another interesting test of the present.
day methods of public school education as
with the known results of teach
ing more than half a century ago. has re-.
gently been made at Cleveland, Ohio. Ac-
,cording to the School Journal, lists of
words and arithmetic examples contained
in the examination papers of the Spring
field Mass high school in 1916, which
were submitted to the ninth grade of the
Springfield school in 1895, have now been
tried In one Cleveland school. Following
is the list of words: Accidental, accessi-
ibIe, baptism, chirography, CHARACTERISTIC
deceitfully, d~escendent, eccentric, evan
escent, fi-erceness. feignedly, .shastliness,
gnawed, heiress, Mysteries, imbecility, in
conceivable, inconYenience, inefficient, ir-
xeslstible. The comparative results show
that the. pupils of 1916 answered 400 per
CENT Of the words correctly, those of 1895
BIZ per cent, while the Cleveland pupils
In this year of grace spelled 61.2 per cent
correctly. In the case Of the arithmetic
papers, the percentage of correct replies
for 1916 was s40.G, in Springfield last year
Il II 52.1, and in Gle !eiand schaol at

played, and the minister had made a
prayer, he felt some one push him to his
feet. Why, he could not guess. at first,
until he saw the Post Commander, a
gray old man who once had marched Mt
the head of a regiment himself, coming
toward him..
MY boy" the old man said, reaching
out to him his left hand, because the
other sleeve of his coat was empty, I'VE
are glad to see you here"
After all, what really ounte most,
though, was when, after the speaking
was lone and the details marched out
through the cemetery, the wreaths of ev-
erlastings fell this time on every sol
dier's grave, and over the grave of Pri-
Tate peters-his fathers g~rave--the
drums beat for the first time their sol
emn roll. @-s
No one said anything in words. It
was easier rot to DO SO. Ever ~hai tho
new lieutenant and his mother sat at the
door that evening, once more, and watch
ed the fading sunset light, they did not
speak of it, but each knew, and knew
that the other was thinking, that the
task his fathers son had set himself to
dc had been performed.-M. B.

4 LAND OF OPPORTUNITIES.
Held Gut ~ Western
Canada Are Powerful

,Inducenents Held Out by WesterD
Canada Arc Powerful.
A recent number OF the Winnipeg
lManitoba, Free Press contains an ez-
ccllent article on the prospects in West
ern Canada, a portion Of which we are
pleased to reproduce.
The agents OF the Canadian Govern
ment, located at different centres In tho
States, will be pleased to give any fur
Their information as to rates, and how
to reach these lands.
Just now there is a keener interest
than ever before on the part OF the
outside world in regard to the claims
OF the Canadian West as a field Of set
Element. At no previous time has there
been such a rush Of immigration, and
the amount Of information distributed
broadcast is unprecedentedly great.
I'm the majority of the States OF the
Union and in Great Britain the oppor-
tunities for home-making and the
achieving Of even a modest competence
are at the best limited. Moreover, ac-
cording to the social and Industrial con-
ditions prevalent in those communities,
the future holds out no promise Of bet
ter things. 1t is not strange, then, that
energetic young men should turn their
eyes to Canada's great wheat belt,
where every man can pursue fortune
without the hindrance Of any discour-
aging handicap.
"The inducements held out by West
ern Canada are powerful and made
manifest by the great movement now
in progress. That the prospects are
considerably more than reasonably GER
tain is borne out by the history of the
country and its residents. The prom
Use of gain is powerful, but when added
to it there is the prospect of a CORE
spending social and civil elevation, it
should prove irresistible to young men
of a particularly desirable class for
any new country.
The Canadian West is alive with OPP
%portunities for the young man who
aims at becoming more than a mere
atom in the civil and national fabric.
Some Of the eager young fellows, who
arrive on the prairies daily, are des-
tined to become more than merely pros
porous farmers. In the near future
great municipal and Provincial develop
ment will be in the hands of the peo-
pie. The stepping stone to both finan-
cial prosperity and civil prominence is,
and will be, the farm. Fol every pro-
fessional opening there are hundreds
Of agricultural openings. The Cana
dian prairIes are teeming with oppor-
t~unities for the honest and industrious
of all classes. but they are specially
inviting to the ambitious young man
who seeks a field for the energy and
ability which he feels inherent within
him. The familiar cry Of Back to b
sofl!' is more than a vain sounding
phrase when applied to Western Can
ada"

Throughout the entire Methodist
church mutterings of uncertainty and dis
satisfaction are being heard, says the
Literary Digest. in regard to the Epworth
League. the young peoples organization,
which has a membership of about 2,0o0,-
900. DR.. Wentworth +. Stewart, writing
in the Epworth Herald, official organ of
the league. finds that the league lacks
vigorous, self-sustaining life in many
places, and that it is losing its character
as a young peoples organization, because
the people who joined it seventeen years
ago, at the start, are no longer young
He charges that the whole church has
been for years committed to the numerical
idea of quantity instead of quality. 1t IS
ANYTHING to increase the membership roll.
