Paris, Dec. 29.-For days past the
Matin has been filed with alarmist
cablegrams from America. If these
cablegrams were to be believed war ,

the corpse of the French canal TO the
American government. But twenty
years ago NJ. Bunan-Varilla was the
chief engineer of the original de
Lesseps scheme, and during the years
when French gold was pouring into
the Isthmus he became a millionaire

happy days when French engineers
will again tackle the canal problem

canal is probably the first object les

tale. 1t has been known for many
years to all who know lola but it has
never been made public Now it
has just been brought out by the
Paris press. The two young people
