UNITED STATES MUST NOT
INTERVENE IN MEXICO
BY Associated Press.

Washington, April 20.-That Presi-
dent Taft is more determined than
ever that the United States must not
intervene in Mexico became known
here this afternoon following a con-
ference between the president and Sec
retary Knox and committee from the
house of representatives.
The president stated that Difficult
ties must arise out of conditions In
Mexico because of the proximity of
fighting to the American line. But"
he is quoted as saying, "tt takes two

ANSWER is DEPRESSING.
The receipt here today of an out
| line of the reply the Mexican govern
ment has made to President Taft's
strong remonstrance against the con-
duct of warfare on the border some
what depressed the hopes of officials
who had confidently expected COM
pleteIy responsive note from Mexico.
Withholding official statements until
the full text Of the de la Barra note
is at hand, the president, in full knowl-
edge of the fact that it is recrimina-
tory in some points, is disposed to
deal with it leniently. The presidents
Ireioinder must be based upon further
official reports from the American
military officers whose impartiality in

impeached.
1t is feared that a disposition pre-

and this will promptly be resented if

After the Lidgerwood plow removes all
the dirt from a train spreader must
be used to force the spoil down over the

provements have been made on this
spreader since it was first brought to the

the units of cost have been reduced to
such a remarkably low figure.
The calendar year 1909 was followed
by record surprising even that of
1908. If the lock and dam construction
be considered in addition to the excava-
ton. while the calendar year 1910 wit
messed a no less remarkable result Ap-
cavated material was handled, nearly
4, 100000 yards of wet material was
pumped into the dams and r ;llion and
a half yards Of concrete was laid. While
the excavations fell off some four million
yards. as compared with 1908. the total
results were larger
1t is difficult to convey an idea OF how
much more rapidly the canal work is
progressing than was hoped for at the
beginning When Congress first au-
thorized the construction of the canal It
was estimated that the excavation would
amount to 10000. 600 cubic yards. The
optimists predicted that this could be
done In nine years, while the pessimists
refused to believe that 1t ever could be
done Yet in four years the excavation
actually done reached a total Of 100000, 600
cubic yards, or, in other words, the canal
diggers did more, by % per cent, in four
years than the most sanguine engineer
believed could be done In nine years. The
average annual excavation has been
about 80. .OOO 900 yards. while the average
as predicted at the beginning was less
than 100000.

Much has been heard of late about
efficiency in the sense that that word
Is used to denote the scientific manage
nnent that increases the product of labor
without proportionately increasing the
amount of work done or the cost thereof
Although the canal builders have not
adhered to any particular system of
scientific management" they have new
ertheless so managed their work that
they are now accomplishing a great deal
more than they did two years ago In
proportion 10 the number OF men at work
and the amount of money expended.
In two years the cost of steam shovel
operation in Culebra cut has been de-
creased from 11-5 to SIS cents per cubic
yard of material excavated. The dis
,ance which the excavated material must
be hauled has Increased from eight to
twelve miles In the two years, yet the
cost of hauling it has been cut down
from 1854 TO 1922 cents per cubic yard
A ton of dynamite is made to do twice
as much work now as II did two years
ago. Expert attention given to the lubri-
eating oil supply has effected saving OF
500 month.
And so it is throughout the canal work
Efficiency is the watchword-rnax ximurn
results with minimum expenses. The
fact that the best engineering talent in
the world is at work TO develop this eff
c.ency IS OF course responsible for these
enormous savings. but there is another
reason. Initial costs We're in many in
stances 100 high for the precice reason
that the engineering talent was not
