Construction Equipment.

Immediate fertilization, in the opinion
OF military officials best qualified 70
speak on the subject, would safeguard
the canal beyond the possibility Of cap
ure and beyond the probability of seri-
us damage. These are the foremost
reasons for prompt action. A second,
but almost equally important, reason IS
10 be found in the cost Of construction
Of the fortifcatiOns now as compared
with construction later now.
The equipment used in the COnstruc-
ton Of the canal proper could be readily
utilized In doing a major part OF the
work of fertilization. This work, done
with the organization already IN exist
ence. would cost Ear less than con-
struction work undertaken after the
present force is disbanded.
As the canal nears completion quarTies
