Canadian canal Is opened.
The surprisingly rapid development Of
the German navy might have come inde-

undoubtedly received a great stimulus
from the building OF that waterway The
prophecy attending the days OF early and
marvellous railway expansion that the
growth Of steam transportation meant
the decay OF water routes has not been
borne out by the years. The greatest
canal projects are now being worked out
and the years 10 come will undoubtedly
see others OF magnitude.
With the proposed waterway from
New Orleans TO the Lakes there would
be new 'seaboard' for the interior OF
the country, and the inhabitants Of those
States would enjoy the frequent sight OF
war ships almost at their doors. Thus a
broader interest in the navy would be
created. The stir and enthusiasm now

the presence Of the battle-ship fleet would

CANALS MAKE FOR PEACE
Georgian Bay Project Would Hasten
Transit of Wheat HarVests.
Army and Navy Journal Suggests
that It Might Threaten Peace
on the Great Lakes.

Some OF the political journals OF the
country, and those which discuss public
questions from a technical standpoint.
would be amusing II they were not al
ways so serious as TO forbid a srlile
One OF the latest illustrations OF this is
20 be found in recent issue Of the Army
and Navy Journal. where the Georgian
Bay Canal is discussed from the naval
standpoint. and some Of the alleged dan
gers Of opening a -feet-deep
channel into the center Of the continent
pointed out
The Georgian Bay project has for its
chief incentive the opening OF a channel
from that body of water across Canada
to the Ottawa River at its highest navi-
gable point. to hasten and cheaper the
transit of the great wheat harvests Of
the Northwest 10 the hungry hordes Of
Europe who must be fed upon them.
The Army and Navy Journal sees In
this waterway a menace TO the trans
portation business Of the United States
and the placing Of the whole Northern
frontier at the mercy Of the British feet
The Washington Herald's Industrial de-
partment does not attempt TO take note
OF naval possibilities. but Il thinks Il
knows that I'm modern times, since the
commercial era fairly began. no nation
has dared to stop one Of the great high
ways OF trade over which the food and
other commerce OF the world was NOV
Ing. except temporarily in time of war.
The avenues Of the worlds trade arc the
most peaceful things on this planet and
about all big navies are worth nowadays
Is to police them. However, this is what
the Army and Navy Journal says anent
the Georgian Bay Canal:
THE announcement that Canada is pre-
pairing to build a waterway twenty-five
feet deep from the eastern side OF Geor-
gian Bay, across to Ottawa. and down
the Ottawa River TO the Ct. Lawrence, at
Montreal. ought TO be a spur to the i'm
provement OF our interior waterways.
AT present all the eastbOund Lake
freight shipments must be unloaded from
the ships. loaded into cars at Buffalo OF
Tonawanda. unloaded again at New York.
and reloaded into ocean vessels. When
this twenty -two-foot Georgian Bay canal
Is finished vessels OF 10000 tons burden
will be able TO load at Duluth, Port Ar
thur. or any other Lake port, and sail
direct to Europe without change. If
this should come about, Canada would
control substantially all the Lake ship
ments and could give the carrying trade
10 its own ships.
bad as this would be for commerce,
there is a naval aspect Of such a situation
that Is giving renewed earnestness to the
efforts Of those who have been urging
water routes. With the Georgian Bay
ship canal Canada could place British
war ships on the Great Lakes in two
days, while our ships would be hundreds
of mies away on the seacoast
