IS CANAL TOO NARROW?
Congress to Be Asked to Look into Re-
 ported Defect,

WASHINGTON-Win the Panama canal be obsolete for war and commer- cial purposes before it is completed, and win 1t prevent the construction by the United States of monster battle ships" These questions will be sub mitted to the next Congress to answer,
 All the greater navies are gradually increasing the width of beam of their ships while the big transportation companies are doing likewise Our ma val records show that the beam of war ships is increasing on an average of one foot a year. It is expected that tn" Panama will be completed in about seven years. If the same ratio of progress is maintained in naval con- struction during that time battleships with ninety-fve feet beam will be afloat The two new Cunarders, tho Lustania and the Mauritania have { beam of eighty eight feet. Naval ex perts agree that the limit of beam has not been reached and will not be fo many years to come.
 Congress will, therefore, be asked t' decide whether the canal shall be com
 pleted upon present plans as to the sig | of the locks, which will provide a wa | terway that could not with safety b
