History of Passage of Va

viewed With Interest

Sucz, Monday. Dec 2S.-When the
great American feet gets one step fur
ther on It's epocn-making voyage
around the world by passing through
the Suez canal the residents OF Suez
will for the third time have witnessed
the passage of the ships of war. Not
many years ago there came n squad

Indignation when no effort was being
made TO retain its possession In the
Philippine Islands. The Spanish yes
sells passed through the canal and an
chored In SueZ roads; they waited
day or two and then turned back, the
hopeless emblem OF a broken sea
power.
A little later came another fleet
this time from Russia-carefully feel
ing It's way. That fleet was never
seen here again; just one or two re-
turned; hospitals for manned. Grip

the many ties that bind the two ma

versation. To the Europeans 1t will
be nothing less than q revelation.
After the American ships are anchored
in the bay they will be subject to the
formalities that have to be gone
through before tnc canal be entered.
Suez is the gateway to Europe from
the east, and Europe and the western
world are protected by an organized
authority, not Egyptian but interna-
tional. which shuts the door against
those diseases most virulent in the
east. Not soul can board a vessel
until the quarantine doctors nave

crew. Everyone aboard is examined
and II the examination be favorable

only can the ships be boarded.
Then each point to be decided is

probably be passed through in three
divisions. Tnen when the order of
entering has been decided on the ships
selected will have to be entered at
the canal offices.

Washington, Jan. Oscar StrauS
of the department of commerce and
labor has come forward with another
proposition quite as much of an inno-
walton as many others which he mas
inaugurated and carried to success.
His latest Idea is TO have a national
free employment bureau open TO every
one from coast to coast He has taken
the matter up with Thomas Lewis of
the labor organization; Samuel Don
nelly of the government printing of
fice; Ebert H. Gary of steel fame, and
others and all are carefully and sys-
tematically investigating the field to
see il the scheme Is feasible one.
No steps have been taken as yet to-
wards completion of this economic
problem Mr.. Straus himself is very
optimistic about 1t and SAYS that 1t is
entirely practical. IN talking with
him today he designated tas one of
the most important subjects before
the people. 1t hints at the root of the
unnecessary unemployed 1t deals
with the men who want TO work and
who are out of jobs In certain locall-
ties, while other localities perhaps
thousands of miles away. desire just
such men. Continuing. he said:
