Blow Up Gambod
DEMOLITION OF HUGE ARTIFi
cIAL EMBANkMEkT TO UNITE
ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC.

Washington, Oct. Arrangements
are practically completed for the blow
ing up Oct. 10 Of Gamboa dixie,
which will mean the flooding Of Guile
bra cut and the practical completion
of the water connection between the
Atlantic and the Pacific oceans.
Gamboa dixie is great artificial
embankment at the northern end Of
the famous Culebra cut. It was erect
ed to prevent the waters of the Chag-
res river and of Gatun dixie created
artificially by impounding the waters
of the Chagres river, from flowing in.
to the Culebra cut while the excava-
ting work was going on there. This
dixie is nearly 1000 feet long, 1872 feet
high, 1873 feet wide at the base. and
IS feet wide at the top
Gatun lake, the waters of which will
be released by the dynamiting of the
Gamboa dixie, came into existence on
April Is, 1910, when the western d.
version dam at Gatun was closed, and
the flow from the Chagres and Trini-
dad rivers was forced through the ar
tificially constructed spillway chan
mel. Since then the waters in the lake
have risen gradually, and last fall the
rising Of the lake caused the waters
of the Chagres river to back up
against the great dixie at Gamboa,
which protected Culebra cut.
The flow and the rising continued,
and for several months the water
backed up against the Gamboa like
has been higher than the bottom of
the finished portion Of Culebra cut.
Since the morning of June q last
the gate of the sluices through tho
ogee Of the Gatun spillway has been
closed. At that time the surface Of
the water in Gatun lake was 1873 feet
above sea level having been main
tanned at that level since Jan. 1, 1913,
when the sluice gates were opened.
The spillway has been completed and
the sluice gates will not be opened
again befor the final completion Of the
canal. This means that the lake ia
on It's final rise to the operating level.

QUEER OCCUPATION FOR POET
Walt Whitman, Not Being Able to
Make Both Ends Meet With His
Poetry, Went Into Commerce.

walt Whitman wasn't as successful
alb the English poet, Alfred Noyes, in
making both ends meet with his
poetry" said a Philadelphia editor.
Waits muse had nothing like the
shallow, commonplace, commercial
quality of the young Englishman's.
II used to visit Walt Whitman in
his old age In his little two-story
wooden house In Mickle street, Cam
den. One day-it's pleasant souvenir
this, Of old-time Philadelphia-one day
in December said to him:
"WeN, Walt, how are things going
this winter? Any Christmas subscrip-
tons needed?
"'No,' said the old poet. No, indeed.
I'm working now. I'm working for
George W. Childs. He pays me $50 a
month
".Good!' said I. And what's your
job with Childs?'
riding in the horse cars said
Walt. I ride about the city, talk to
the drivers and conductors. / find out
which of them need winter overcoats,
and, guessing their size, notify
Childs, who fits them out forthwith.
It's easy, pleasant work, and it saves
Childs lot of trouble over measure
ments and so forth

which has gone into history as one
Of the most heroic assaults OF all
time. It was forlorn hope but It was
prasped and the men Of George Ed
ward Pickett, Confederate solder,
went Loyalty and with full hearts to
their death across a shrapnel and rifle
swept field.
When the third days fighting OPEN
ed it began with an artillery duel,
hundreds of guns belching forth shot
and death from the batteries OF both
contending forces. 1t Is said that this
was the greatest duel engaged in by
field pieces during the four years of
the war between the states.
The Union guns at one time ceased
firing, and it is said that the southern
commander thought they had been
silenced, and then it was that Long
streets men made an assault and
Pickett's men made their charge. The
former generals objective was Big
Round Top, but his forces were driv-
en- back Picket formed his division
In brigade columns and they moved
directly across the fields over fiat
ground. They had no cover and they
had no sooner come into effective
range than they were met by such a
storm Of shot as never before swept
over field Of battle.
They went on and on, and on clos.
ing in their depleted ranks and NOV
ing steadily forward to their death.

land from invasion, a condition which
military men say always adds sub
tie something to the fighting quality
which is in any man. Some authors
ties have said that there were 100000
men in the Confederate forces at Get
tysburg to be confronted by 10000
Union troops Another authority says
that the Confederate force was $4,000
and the Union force $4,000. AS 1t was
the armies were pretty nearly equally
divided in strength.
In June, 1863. General Robert e,
Lee began to move northward. Lee
concentrated his army at Winchester,
Va, and then started for the Potomac
river, which he crossed to reach the
state of Maryland. He fully expected
to be followed by General Hooker's
army and so General Stuart with a
large force of cavalry was ordered by
Lee to keep in front of Hooker's army
and to check his pursuit of the Con-
federates If it was attempted.
Late in June the Confederate force
reached Hagerstown. in the state of
Maryland. 1t was General Lees in
tention to strike Harrisburg, Pa,
which was a great railroad center
and a city where Union armies were
recruited and from which all kinds of
supplies were sent out to the soldiers
in the field. While the Southern COM
mander was on his way with large
part of his force to the Pennsylvania
capital another part of his command

Northern soil the chances of foreign
Intervention or at least foreign aid to
the Southern cause, would be forth
coming.
General Robert e. Lee late in the
spring of 1863, made his preparations
to conduct his campaign Northward
into the state Of Pennsylvania. He
had under his command three corps,
General James Longstreet command
ing the First, General Richard S.
Ewell commanding the Second, and
General A. P. Hill commanding the
Third. In the Union army which aft
erward confronted Lee at Gettysburg,
there were seven corps, but the num-
Der of men in each was much less
than that in Confederate corps, the
military composition of each being
different. The Union corps comman-
ders who under Meade were at Get
tysburg, were Generals John F. Rey-
nolds, w. s. Hancock, Daniel e.
Sfckles, George Sykes, John Sedgwick,
O. o. Howard and H. w. Slocum.
Forces Almost Evenly Matched.
It never has been determined be-
yond the point of all dispute just how
many men were engaged on each side
in the battle of Gettysburg. It Ia
known that the armies were very
nearly equal in strength, the proba-
oaiit1es being that the Confederate
force was a few thousand men strong.
or than the, Union force, difference
which was balanced perhaps by the
tact that the Union armies at Gettys
burg were fighting in defense OF their

Southern general did not succeed in
the plan which he had formed to get
by Big Round Top and to attack the
Third Corps from a position of van
tage in the rear. General Sickles de-
Tended Round Top and Longstreet
could not take it.
When one visits the battlefield Of
Gettysburg he can trace the course
of battle of the second day where It
ragged at Round Top, Peach Orchard,
Cemetery Hill, Cups Hill, and what
is known as The Devils Den. The
tide of battle ebbed and flowed. Lit
tie Round Top was saved from cap
ture by the timely arrival of brigade
commanded by General Weed that
dragged the guns of United States
regular battery up to the summit by
hand.
At the end Of the second days fight
it was found that the Southern army
had failed to break the left flank Of
the opposing forces, that it had failed
to capture Round Top and that the
right flank Of the Northern army, al
though vigorously attacked, had not
been broken. There was a tremen-
dous loss of life on both sides, and
while in general the day had gone
favorably to the Northern cause Get
tysburg was still a drawn battle.
Charge Of Gen. Pickett.
It was on July 8, the third and last
day of the great battle of Gettysburg
that Pickett's men made their charge

their destination had short hand-to-
hand encounter with the northern SOL
diers. It was soon over and Pickett's
charge, glorious for all time in his
tory, was a failure in that which 1t
attempted to do, but was success as
helping to show the heroism of Amer
lean soldiers.
The losses at Gettysburg on both
sides we're enormous. The Union
army lost Generals Zook, Farnsworth,
Weed and Reynolds, killed; while Gra-
ham, Barnes, Gibbon, Warren, Double
day, Barlow, Sickles,' Butterf1eld and
Hancock were wounded. The total
casualties killed wounded, captured
or missing on the Union side num-
bered nearly $4,000 men. On the Con-
federate side Generals Semmes, Pen
der, Garnet, Armistead, and Barks-
dale were killed, and Generals Kemp
er, Kimbal, Hood, Heth, Johnson and
Trimble we're wounded. The entire
Confederate loss Is estimated to have
been nearly 10000 men.

Susquehanna Valley through the town
of Gettysburg and then to turn in it's
course after destroying railroads and
gathering in supplies, and to meet the
Confederate commander with the main
army at Harrisburg.
It was General Jubal A. Early of
General Lees command, who reached
Gettysburg after a long hard march
on June 26. From there he went to
the town of York and from thence to
Wrightsville- At this place he was
ordered by General Lee to retrace his
steps and to bring his detachment
back to camp near Gettysburg.
When Early aid obeyed Lees order
and had reached a point near Gettys-
burg he found the entire Southern
force was camped within easy strik-
ing distance of the now historic town.
In the meantime things were hap
pening elsewhere. General Hooker
in command of the Union army which
had been depleted at Charlottesville,
had succeeded in out-maneuvering
General Stuart in command Of Lees
cavalry, had got around Stuart's COM
mand in way to prevent the South
ern general from forming a junction
with the forces of his chief comman-
der Lee gave over the proposed
movement on Harrisburg when he
heard of Hooker's approach and
brought the different parts of his
army together.
Four days before the Gettysburg
fight began General Hooker resigned
as commander of the Union army.
Hooker and General Hallock dis
agreed upon a matter concerning
which strategists today say that Gen
eral Hooker was right. Three days
before the battle began, that is, June
%, 1863, General George Gordan
Meade was named as General Hook
| er's successor in charge of the North
ern army. General Meade at once

his headquarters at a point ten or

had made up his mind to turn south
ward to meet the force of Hooker, or
as it turned out the force of Meade.

with his force was south Of the town.

On the last day Of June, the day
before the real battle of Gettysburg
began, General Reynolds, a corps
commander of the Union army, went
forward to feel out the enemy He
reached Gettysburg by nightfall. His
corps, the First, together with the
Third and the Eleventh Infantry
Corps with division Of cavalry, com
posed the Union army's left wing.
The Fifth Army Corps was sent to
Hanover, southeast of Gettysburg,
and the Twelfth Corps was immedi-
ately south of Gettysburg at dis.
lance of eight or nine miles. This
was on June 80, and the Union forces
were fairly well separted, but they

BILE. some people would say
u" probable, that the Battle OF
Gettysburg changed utterly
the course of American his
tory. It was great fight between
armies of Americans, for probably
fully ninety per cent. of the men who
fought on the two sides were born
natives to the American soil. The
bravery shown at Gettysburg was of
the order which Americans have
shown on every field and which re-
fleets credit upon the hardy and
heroic ancestry of the men engaged,
no matter from what race they may
have sprung.
At Gettysburg there was nothing to
choose between the valor of the North
and the South. The South lost the
fight, but it lost it honorably and
with the prestige of its soldiery I'M
dimmed. The charges made on that
field have gone down into history as
assaults made under conditions which
every man felt might mean death at
the end. The defenses made at Gettys-
burg were of the kind which it takes
iron in the blood to make perfect. At
Gettysburg Northerners and South
erners replenished their store of re-
gpect for their antagonists. The bat
tie marked the high tide of the war
between the states. After it the
South largely was on the defensive,
but its defense was maintained with
fortitude and in the face of privations
which could not chill the blood of
men fighting for what they thought
was the right.
The Northern armies were persis-
tent in their attacks through the cam
paigns which after few months were
started aginst the objective point,
Richmond. Brave men here and brave
men there, and after the end came it
was the qualities which keep COM
pany with bravery which made the
soldiers of the North and South so
ready to forget and to forgive and to
work again for the good of a COM
mon country.
The great battle Of Charlottesville
was fought not long before the oppos-
ing Union and Confederate forces met
On the field of Gettysburg. Chancel-
louisville was Confederate victory.

that the victory should be followed up
by an invasion of the North for, &C
