examination OF accounts, disburse-
ments. the Quartermasters and sub
sistence departments. and the pur
chasing department In the United
] States
| Generally speaking. employees were
selected on account Of their special
| fitness for the work in hand and were
then unhampered in their methods OF
securing definite results. thus bring
ing out to its fullest extent individual
effort and brain power. AS q conse-
quence each man had a personal inter
est In the work and seemed tmbued
with the idea that the success Of the
enterprise depended on him. The
spirit Of enthusiasm and OF loyalty
among the canal workers strikes
forcibly every one who visits the
lsthmus and convinces the doubling
how the canal was built.
The time required for completing
the lock type OF canal was estimated
by the board OF 1906, which made its
report In January, 1905. at nine years,
In accordance with which the work
should be completed by Jan. 1, 1915.
and this is still retained as the date
for the official opening.
Much has been said and predicted
as to the commercial value Of the
canal TO the United States. In this
connection II must be remembered
that the commercial shipping OF this
country never required the canal The
trip OF the Oregon in 1898 settled the
question OF the ACCESSIBILITY of con-
structing an Isthmian canal, and had
the canal been built at that time,
thereby saving the trip around the
Horn. there Is no question that It
would have been agreed generally
that the canal, even at an expenditure
OF $375, 900, 900, was worth while.
With properly regulated tolls. and
with facilities for fully eQuipping. sup
plying and repairing ships, the Pan
anna route would offer many advan.
tages and bring to it sufficiently re-
munerative return to pay not only for
the operating expenses, but to gradu-
ally absorb the debt which the United
States has incurred by its construc-
ton.
1t has been asserted In many quar-
ters that the locks might be destroyed
by one or two men placing dynamite
or other high explosives in them. In
order to accomplish the destruction
of the locks 1t would be necessary to
place the charge very carefully In
them. To do that would take time.
and what would our men be doing In
the meantime? One man could not
carry sufficient quantity to destroy
the locks. You would have to locate
the charge behind a gate and In a GER
tain place behind the gate In order
to disable the canal, and you must de-
stroy the gates to destroy the canal.
cannot imagine what people operat-
ing the canal and the men having
charge OF its defense would be doing
In the meantime.

He hunted up the porter, and. after

Dick was waiting for me and re-

They are pretty bad I whispered,

But, Dick, don't use war paint,
