accomplished more with no Sreater re-
sources than did the Americans in 1876
1913 They took more risks, however,
left less of a factor of safety and failed
to maintain the same clOckli1e regu-
larity of success that had been the dis
tnguishing trait OF our own operations.
Beginning with some 5000 troops in the
field IN 1852, they were repulSed at
Puebla in that year and forced to mo-
mentary retreat Before the end Of the
year they had 1900 French troops and
were gaining ground once more. In 1864
their effective force seems to have
reached its maximum Of $4,000 men
They were commanded by that able
leader who was later to betray his
country more completely than a country
has often been betrayed, 8azaine.
Subjugating Mexico.
Bazaine's work IN Mexico was in the
main effectual He had a much more
difficult task than we had attempted,
for his work was to subjugate, not to
invade, alone. He held the chief cities
and portion Of the open territory for
Macmillan, Napoleon Ills appOintee
to the throne of Mexico But he could
neither dispel the general fervOr of
armed opposition nor prevent the main
tenance OF at least a Vestige of a na-
uOnal army in the field When the
French, pursuant to the United States
request, withdrew their regiments, their
awaited only their embarkation, and
Macmillan alone was as defenceless as
he would be in Mexico City today.
The Americans, with an effective
force at the front of $4,000 to As, 600
men and a large reserve, were able to
capture the capital and overrun a great
remote area, little populated and feebly
defended. The operations consumed
nearly two years in a day of slower
transportation than the present The
money cost was great, partly because
the era was one of high prices, but
more because the seat OF war was re-
mote and transportation expensive
Twelve thousand four hundred and
twenty lives lost was an item in the
cost of the conquest not covered by the
money outlay.
The French, employing 5000 men for
three years and enduring expenses and
losses certainly equal to ours, were able
to hold but not wholly to pacify the
Mexican territory Their Intervention
would apparently have involved the
maintenance Of this great military
force perpetually on the watch for an
indefinitely long period.
Railroads and other modern advau-
tages would favor an army entering
Mexico today to some extent But such
an advantage is easily overestimated,
while, moreover, modern means of war
fare have their advantages for the de-
fender as well. Possibly Mexico could
be paSiued at a military cost of less
than $200,00O,000. But past events do
not justify any confidence of such an
outcome.

Impossible for Foe to Damage
Panama Canal, Tests Show

WASHINGTON, Oct 30.-Secret
tests recently made by the Third
division of the Atlantic battleship
fleet, under command of Rear Ad-
miral Usher, are said to have dis
closed the fact that the Panama canal
virtually has nothing to fear from the
fire of an enemy's fleet, so far as the
Gatun and other important locks are
concerned. This information leaked
from the navy department today.
The tests, started last winter are
declared to have developed the fact
that the fleet could not determine the
location Of the Gatun lock. IT also Is
intimated that the data made public
and supposed to give the topogra ply
of the canal were purposely inaecu-
rate. In addition, it was discovered
that the hills intervening render the
locks almost immune from DANA ge
by bombardment from sea.
