Affection of Old Comrades.
The reunion of the Kreigerbund this
year will be, of course. a splendid festival
for the American members of it, for they
are going as guests Of veterans
who want the Germans under the Stars
and Stripes to keep alive their love for
their native land. But. according to state
ments made by Germans here and abroad
the reunion will be not less enjoyable to
the Kreigerbund on that side, for the
German warriors who have not adopted
a new country since fighting for the
Fatherland are said to foster an espe-
cially tender affection for their old COM
rades who have come over into Uncle
Sans country to live out the rest of
their lives.
How much II means to them all is
shown Interestingly in the "reminiscences
Of Col. NJ. a. Winter, who, in 1910, COM
manded a detachment Of American min
utemen who served as a guard of honor
for the United States flag when Kreiger-

Kaiser to Be Host to American Kregebund at Reunion
Franco-Prussian War Veterans in August
and September.

"A get-together party" is what hust-
ling American citizens who seldom have
to leave their own anthill in search of
excitement and subsistence. would call
the reunion of the Kriegerbund men OF
the United States and Germany, planned
for next August and September.
That it will be a reunion of interna-
tional scope and influence, and that il
will require a journey of thousands of
miles by land and sea for some Of the
kriegerbund men on this side of the
Atlantic. are features of the "get-to-
gether party" that make IT different
from some of the simple affairs that
American citizens give, and even from
our great reunions of veteran soldiers
who come together in scanty ranks, with
their torn flags. and haporably soiled
uniforms.
Have Seen Military Service.
First of all. the Kriegerbund men are
not simply veterans, as We use the
word. The Kriegerbund is made up not
merely of men who have been soldiers
or worn the uniform. There are few
men in Germany who have not had their
military service. for. unless they have
physical disabilities, every German is re-
cruited to the army for three years.
But the Kriegerbund means a band of
warriors, men who have been at war
and fought in battles where blood was
shed. When they come together, it is
as when the grand old men who fought
through the great war from 81 to IS
reunite and shout their battle cries and
sing their camp songs.
The Kriegerbund men are fighting
men, warriors who saw the fierce fight
ing Of the Franco-Prussian war. and
their coming together from two sides of
the Atlantic makes a notable meeting.
for II proves that the Germans who
have come over into the new land and

PANAMA CANAL "SLIDES' MAKE HARD PROBLEM

II very expensive to dredge, and that
more or less sliding Of the slopes will
doubtless occur for many years after
the canal Is opened. But he said the
bringing Of water into the canal prism
VIII produce a counter pressure on the
sides and bottom Of the canal. and since
the rock Of the cut remains solid when
kept submerged, this pressure will tend
70 maintain the banks in place" For
this purpose a very large and powerful
ladder dredge is now being built in
Scotland. and after the canal is COM
pleted will be used to take care of these
slides This gigantic dredse is expected
TO remove any sliding material from the
canal proper without interfering With
navigation.
About May. 1911, a great slide occurred
which started SO suddenly that a steam
shovel was buried before 1t could be
moved back and two laborers working
beside 1t were caught and killed before
they could escape. Since that time the
steam shovels have been digging away
at this slide. but short while ago 1t

serious break occurred near Gold Hill
This slide contained another ooO. 900 cubic
yards of earth. The dirt fell right across
the canal prism. covering the main track
for dirt trains to a depth OF twenty feet.
The seriousness of this slide is due not
so much to tie amount of earth as to
the steady occurrence Of its falls. Again,
on February q. another great break oc-
CURED which involved more than 1000 cod
yards OF earth and rock.
To sum up: There have been in all
twenty-six slides and breaks in Culebra
Cut since the work began, seventeen OF
which covered from one to seventy-five
acres and nine covered less than one
acre, making in all a total of 225 acres.
One variety of slide, according to the
engineers, is caused by the slipping of
the top layer OF clay and earth on a
smooth, sloping surface of a harder ma
terial. The largest slide of this charac-
ter il that known as Cucaracha, on the
east bank of the canal. just south of
Gold Hill. This gave the first French
company trouble during the final years
of its operations. II first gave the Amer
leans trouble in 1906. and between that
date and July l. 1872, nearly 5000. 900 cubic
Yards of material have been removed be-
cause of it. II broke nearly 1890 feet

mense mountains. On the west side Of
the canal at this point is a mountain
SO feet high. higher by fifteen feet than
the Washington Monument. Right near
the cut is another great hill $50 feet high.
Back of Culebra there is a hill 80 feet
high. On the east side Of the canal
lies the highest mountain-Gold Hill
which Is 665 feet high. On the same side
and little to the north is yet another
mountain $40 feet high. Between these
two and back little is still another 40
feet high. Still farther back, probably
about 1000 feet. is another greet noun

of this one Is another mountain go feet
high.
From this may be gathered some idea
Of the great crushing weight on each
side of the cut. The weight is Of such
great magnitude as to be almost impos-
sible to place In figures. This great mass
on each side Of the cut is the cause Of
the whole trouble, and Is also the cause
OF the bulging up Of the bed Of the canal
which has occurred several times re-
Gently. AS the cut is made deeper, II
seems the tremendous weight on each
side forces up the ground in the bed of
the canal, sometimes as much as twenty

SAYING mo, ON SUFFRAGE.

From the London Spectator.
The present suffrage situation is the
result Of an unfortunate reaction of poll
tics on the normal psychological relation
of men and women.
Men do not ordinarily shrink from say
ing mo" to their fellow-men; some mer
take a pleasure in the uncompromising
negative, which fatters their sense of in.
dependence and authority.
But men do not like saying no to
women: and. though We necessarily
speak with less conviction on this point,
We believe that the converse is true, and
that women do not like to say mo-
with absolute plainness to men.
The effect of this instinct, social hab-
it, disposition of sex. or whatever it may
be, is vividly to be seen now. Many
members of Parliament returned agree
able but irresponsible answers to women
who approached them in deadly earnest
about female suffrage. They wanted TO
be polite, and they also found that po-
liteness saved them a great deal of
trouble. Probably they thought that it
did not very much matter what exact
words they used. as woman suffrage was
not as vet a practical political question
The outcome is the very best thing
which ought to he avoided in the relation
of men and women, and which at the
moment members of Parliament them
selves wished to avoid. The women feel
that they have been fooled.
We confess that We have much SYM
pathy with them in that point of view A
proof that they feel they have been fool
ed is the fact that their resentment is
specially aimed at certain liberal poll
ticians, who profess themselves in favor
of woman suffrage, and not at anti-suf-
fraeists who have unequivocally declared
all along their disapproval of woman suf-
frage.

GERMAN WARRIORS IN THE u S. TO VISIT OLD COMRADES

there. yet It seemed as IL Just the few Of
US from the United States were the spe-
cial charges Of all. We We're given places
of honor. and we were observed with an
interest that seemed to have no curiosity
in it, but only a respectful concern for
our comfort and happiness.
We had to leave early. We quietly
paid our respects to those close about
us. and prepared to leave as unosten-
tatiously as possible.
But we hardly had stood before

was standing. bowling in difference to
the American visitors. With this
marked respect they showed us also
the heartiest comradeship. Even those
of us who were not of the Krieger-
bund were taken into their midst and
treated with cordial. thoughtful
hospitality that could not be sur
passed.
Our treatment this year will he just
as delightful. I think. We call the
English our cousins but really they
are hardly closer cousins than the Ger
mans And the Germans feel this.
They remember that some of the ear
liest and best settlements made In the
United States. like those in Pennsyl-
vania, were made by the Germans;
they know that the Germans fought
valiantly for our colonies in the war
Of the Revolution, and in all our other
wars. In the civil war some of our
greatest heroes were the Germans.
Story Of Uniforms.
''on one occasion. when the German
field marshal was asking us about the
uniform we minutemen wore, 1 ex-
planned to him that the uniform was
modelled exactly upon that worn by
Gen. Washington, which is now in the
National Museum.
Then I added that the uniform was
similar to that worn by the German
soldiers of the time of the American
Revolution. and recalled the splendid
valor of German troops at the battle
of Trenton. where their achieveme nts
perhaps saved our independence. He
and other Germans were much pleased
at this. They seemed glad to hear the
story of the valor Of their countrymen
In other lands. and they like to believe
that while Germans are making good
citizens in other lands they are at the

Just imagine for a minute how impos-
sible it would be to remove the greater
part of these mountains in order to bring
them to a slope Of repose-that is, in
order to cut them down TO the point
where they will rest solidly on their own
foundation. Such a job was never heard
of. and engineers say that while Il is
possible yet the cost of such an under
taking would he almost prohibitive and
7the time almost endless. II is nearly i'm
possible to give a true idea OF the great
mass of earth in these mountains. There
is nothing now known to man by which
comparison could be made 1t will

PLOT OF "TRnBY" AS GIFT.
Du Maurfer Once offered Idea OF
story to Henry James.

Du Maurier Once offered Idea OF
Story to Henry James.
| From the Bookman.
The plot of '"Trilby'' was once offered
to Henry James as a gift. Du Maurier
and James were walking one evening up
and down High Street in Bayswater
when James remarked that he had great
difficulty in finding plots for his stories.
Plots exclaimed Du Maurier. Il am
full of plots" And he went on to tell
the other the plot of 'Trilby."
But you ought to write that story"
said James
II can't write" replied Du Maurier. IT
have never written. II you like the PLOT
so much, you can take 1t.
But James would not take II: he said
that II was too valuable a gift. On reach
ing home that night Du Maurier started
to work at the new craft But IL was
not on "Trilby" that be began. That
story was laid aside for the time and by
the next morning he had written the first
two numbers of Peter Ibbetson." It
seemed to flow from his pen, without ef-
fort. In a full stream.
But he thought it must be poor stuff
and he determined to look for an omen to
learn whether any success would attend
the new departure. So he walked out into
the garden and the very first thing that
he saw was a large wheelbarrow, and
that comforted him and reassured him.
for there is a wheelbarrow in the first
chapter Of Peter Ibbetson."

railway tracks and embankment- The
flow continued for five minutes or more
with "A total advance of about fifty feet
A cliff twenty feet high was left at the
.rear, where the break occurred on what
had been a smooth grass-covered slope.
Railroad Tracks Are Covered.
In January last another slide oc-
currel at Cucaracha, which was sup
posed to have halted two years ago.
1t began TO move rapidly. and the
earth sank four feet in seventeen min
utes, completely covering two railroad
tracks The slide alone threw more
than 100000 yards of earth and rock
into the canal. and the engineers say
IL will take more than a months work
of the great steam shovels to get rid
of this earth.
On January 81 another gigantic slide
occurred on the west side of the canal.
This slide occurred about midnight on
a Ncrday. and carried with II another
! zoo, ,00o cubic yards of earth, gravel,
and rock. IL buried an entire train
Of cars and two steam shovels. so that
no portion was visible above the sur
face. In addition to this damage, the
slide so loosened the supporting wall

Slides Make Vast Labor.
According to the engineers own figures
more than 100000 cubic yards of dirt
already has been taken out of the cut
due to slides alone. They figure that some
thing like twenty or twenty-five million
cubic yards of extra material will have
to be removed. in addition to the amount
originally estimated. When II is con-
