National Railroad Merger.

The report that a national merger
of railroads is in preparation is not
surprising. The Taft administration
has indicated its opinion that the Sher-
man law was not intended to apply to
railroads. If it acts up to that belief
what have the railroad magnates to
fear, if they decide to unite?

Whenever hostile war ship enter some of the squares in which the dealing explosive turks 1t will be discharged by an electric spark sent from the shore.
 All of these plans, as has been stat- ed, depend for their fulhllment en- tirely on the will of Congress. Off, ciais of the War Department believe. however. that Congress will not. with hold appropriations for defending national work that has cost millions This belief is strengthened by the at-. titude of President Taft. who is a champion of such defense, and who, as President of the National Coast De- fense Board created by President Roosevelt subscribed to a report ip February, 1908, which said. in refer ing to the Panama Canal:
 "rhe United States has secured a valuable possession, the Canal Zone, and is to expend large sums of money for the construction of the Panama Canal a waterway of vital strategic and commercial importance to the United States. While 1t may appear that the ultimate defense of the canal must rest with the navy, the fleet should not be tied so closely to it as to lose its offensive power; moreover. it is readily conceivable that control of the seas in the vicinity might be temporarily lost on the Atlantic or the Pacific coast, making land defenses necessary and advisable, since the cost of fortihcations would be but small percentage of the damage which could be quickly inflicted upon the plant and operation of the canal.
 After the canal is completed the capture of or damage to either en- trance might prevent the passage of war vessels between the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, though the concentra- tion of the two fleets might be of vital importance to the national welfare"
 President Taft, since assuming the post of Chief Executive of the United States, apparently has not changed the view to which he subscribed in the boards report At least, the State Department has undertaken no nego- tiation with other countries with a view to having them recognize the neutrality of the canal, and, 1t Is stat. ed op good authority. no such negotia- tions are in contemplation.
 Congress willing. the canal will be fortified in a fashion that will make it almost as impregnable as Gibraltar. The United States will maintain com plete sovereignty over the waterway it will build. and this government will ask no favors of any other nation In maintaining the integrity of the great work that was begun by the French and Is destined to be completely by the American people.

 To emphasize his opinion, Judge Carter filed the following protest, fin which he was joined by Commissioners Shumate and Back Tax Commissioner T. M. Patterson:

HOW THE GOVERNMENT WILL
 FORTZFY THE PANAMA CANAL
.F CONGRESS CARRIES OUT THE PLANS or THE WAR DE- APARTMENT THE CANAL WILL BE MPREGNABLE sa.a AGAINST ALL ATTACKS.

It was a still 5tropic morning in 1920, says The New York Times. the enemy's fleets by pre-ar- rangement. appeared on both the At lantic and the Pacific sides of the Pan- anna Canal at the same time. On shore there were no signs of activity; no Indications that the enemy was ex- pected. and although the officers on the Approaching battleships swept the shores with their glasses they could perceive no Notifications. The slug gish tide of the canal carried on its Bosom no vessels. for traffic had been warned that an attack was imminent.

PARTRIDGE EGGS BROUGHT BY MEANS OF BOGUS BABY

Vienna, June 12.-A singular case of smuggling by means of dummy baby has heen brought to light by the city customs officials at the Northern Station. Partridge eggs have for long past been extensively stolen from preserved estate in Hungary. smuKgled into Vienna. and sold to poultry dealers, who matched the eggs in incubators, brought up the birds by hand and sold them below the prices asked by more honest deal CTS. A special lookout for smugglers has resulted in the arrest of two peasant wom- en.
 Arriving in Vienna in the national siav- onian costume, each of them carried baby tied, according to the invariable national custom to a cushion and so closely packed" that only the face was visible. The women were noticed to be a little agitated as they passed the customs. and they were followed home It was then discovered that while one baby was a living child the other was a dummy. It consisted of wax head. partly hidden by a shawl and csp while the cushion was filled with more than six hundred partridge eggs.

suddenly swept through the fleet a hurricane of shells. Many found their mark. Thrown into confusion. the flagship sought to ascertain the spots from which the hail of destruction came, but the tropic calm appeared to be unbroken. Before the vessels could recover from the panic into which the fleet had been thrown. a second volley swept them. Then they scurried back to sea. broken, and leaving two of their number drifting helplessly on the reefs.
 Much the same reception met the enemy's Atlantic squadron. However. instead of facing a narrowing fire from outlying islands, the shots were deliv- cred from the high hills that overhung the eastern entrance to the big ditch. The disappearing guns on shore. like those on the far side of the Isthmus were using smokeless powder. and it was pracvtically impossible to discover their position. After firing few des- ultory shots in reply, the squadron demonstrated that 1t was United States territory and that it would not be talk en.
 This imaginative picture of what may happen a few years hence if there are attempts to capture the canal is not so much out of the way, provided the War Department carries out its present tentative plans in fortifying the ditch. These plans, of course, de- pend entirely on the willingness of Congress to furnish the money. It will cost millions to put the Canal Zone into the condition for defense that the Department believes is neoes- sary. On top of the vast sum that will have been expended before the first vessel passes through the water way, it would not be surprising If Congress were attacked by 8 sudden and virulent spasm of economy when 1t is called upon to vote millions more to protect the work that has cost the nation a hundred times a kings ran som.
 At the present time it is proposed to construct emplacements for batteries. fortifcations, military posts, and aux Hilary batteries at cost that will range between s8,000,000 and $10,000,- 900. exclusive of armament. For the outlying and principal batteries there will be sixty 14-inch rifles. capable of sinking the best battleship ahoat once 1t comes within range. The minor batteries, which will protect mines and be available for repelling landing parties, have not yet been designated. but they will be ample.
 The 14-inch guns alone will cost up- ward of s17.0e,0oo. Each cannon, of rified steel. costs s5a.0oo; the carriage adds $s5.0U0~to this sum. and the to- tai is increassd>by the addition of
