thals, chief engineer of the Panama
canal, in report the war depart
ment today, reiterated the hope he ex-
pressed some time ago that he would
pass ship through the Panama canal
before the close of the present yeac.
The statement came in response to an
inquiry from Secretary Garrison IS
to whether it would be possible to
grant the request of Capt. Amundsen,
the explorer, that he be allowed to
take his ship Fran through the canal
when he starts for the Antartic reg
ions from the west coast OF South
America next winter. Col. Goethals
said:
THE opening of the Panama can u
for the passage of vessels has always
been predicted on the question OF
slides and the completion of the lock
gates. The present schedule con-
t mplates admitting the water into
Culebra Cut early in October and the
completion of one flight of locks 1t
either end of the canal by that same
date. The passage of boats then de-
ponds upon the condition of the
slides 1t is hoped that we will be
able to pass a ship before the close of
the year and, if this can be accom-
plished, the Fran will have no diff.
Guilty in making the transit of the
canal and every facility will be offered
for its doing so. No assurance, how
ever, can be given in the matter at
this time.
