The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1914-03-08

IHE annual report OF state En-
gineer John a. Bensel relative to
the State Barge Canal shows
that this great work Is much
nearer completion than is generally sup
posed The report states that contracts
TO the amount Of $50 .00O,0 900 have been
LET and that work to the amount Of
$50 600. 900, or about 60 per cent. Of all
the work on the canal. which is to cost a
little over 500. 200. exclusive Of real
estate and terminals. has been COM
pleted
So much has been printed about the
Panama Canal that nearly every one
has at least general idea OF where It
i. what it is its cost and the results
which are expected from II. On the
other hand very few people even In
New York State have anything but the
most vague information about the Barge
Canal. Notwithstanding that the benefits
10 the state in general and to the port
Of New York in particular will be many
times greater than from the Panama
Canal
In order TO understand the relative
size Of the two canals a comparison OF
the main features is necessary. In the
FIRST place the Barge Canal IL $40 miles
long. as compared to the Atty miles OF
the Panama Canal 1t has 81 locks and
30 dams. while the Panama Canal has
only locks and dams. The cost Of
--he Barge Canal. including terminals
and resH estate. will be approximately
$4,000. 900. as compared with $4,000
sav fol- the Panama Canal.
Columns have been printed about the
enormous amount Of excavation and
concrete in the Panama Canal, but the
figures show that the Barge Canal will
require considerably more than half the
amount Of excavation and concrete in
The Panama Canal, the figures being
IA 900 600 cubic yards Of excavation in
the Barge Canal, as compared with
oo3 900 900 cubic yards in the Panama
canal and 100000 cubic yards OF con-
crete in the Barge Canal. as compared
with 900 600 cubic yards in the Panama
canal.
Probably tho most striking comparl'
\son however, is shown by the fact that
l.horeas the total lift of the Panama
\anal is only eighty-Gve feet the ift
AZ the Barge Canal is $50 feet. IN other
words. a barge starting at tidewater
from tho port of New York will be- 5oo
feet above sea level, or nearly as high

In order To appreciate what an ono:-
nous amount 100000 tons really is
a comparison with the same volume If

Ten million tons would fill 333.3cJ

to Chicago and back again. with enough
cars left over to reach from New York
to Cleveland
II 100000 tons a year seems large
volume OF business for the Barge Canal
to handle II should be remembered that
this amount, which il only one-third OF
its capacity, is small in comparison with
the tonnage through the 500 Canal. the
outlet OF Lake Superior, through which
72,4126i6 tons passed in 1912.
When IL Is considered that the ton
mage through the Panama Canal will be
derived from not only all the ports of
the United States but also from the
principal ports all over the world II can
be readily seen that III" percentage OF
benefits which will accrue to any one
port Will be relatively small and that
the increased tonnage by which the port
of New York will be benefited will be
relatively insignificant in comparison
with the tonnage from the Barge Canal

|tSWORD MUST DECIDE"
 DECLARES KAISER
Emperor William issues Proclamation
 to German Nation.

Berlin, Via London, Aug. s.-A proclamation by Emperor William addressed to the German nation was published in the official gazette yes- terday. The text was as follows:
 Since the foundation of the Ger man empire it has been for forty three years the object of the efforts of myself and my ancestors to pre- serve the peace of the world and to advance by peaceful means our vigor- ous development. Our adversaries however, are jealous of the successes of our work and there has been la tent hostility to the east and to the west and beyond the sea.
 Aware of Responsibility.
 'This has been borne by us till now. as we were aware of our re- sponsibility and our power.
 Now, however, these adversaries wish to humiliate us, asking that we should look on with folded arms and watch our enemies preparing them selves for the coming attack.
 '"They will not suffer that we main tain our resolute fidelity to our ally, who is fighting for her position as a great power and with whose humilia- tion our power and honor would equally be lost.
 'So the sword must decide.
 Surprised By Enemy.
 "In the midst of perfect peace the enemy surprises us. Therefore, to arms.
 Any dallying and temporizing would be to betray the fatherland.
 ITO be or not to be is the question for the empire which our fathers founded. To be or not to be is the question for German power and Ger man existence.
 we shall resist to the last breath of man and horse and we shall fight out the struggle even against a. world of enemies. .
 Never has Germany been subdued when she was united. .s-....-
 Forward with God. who will be with us as He was with our ances- tors"

English Press Incensed at Treatment
 of It's Correspondents by Ger F. s' mans in Berlin.

mans Tn Berlin. ~H r London, Aug. S.-The qualified ad- mission of a temporary setback to German arms at Liege which comes from Berlin today is reminder of the strict silence generally maintained declared.
 The only telegraphic outlet by way of Berlin now left is through Amster- dam and strict censorship permits only brief despatches of an official character to leave the country.
 The greatest indignation is mani fested in the English press at the alleged treatment by the Germans of English correspondents in Berlin who arc endeavoring under the greatest difficulties to serve their papers.
 The fact that the only news from Berlin now comes through Holland has an interesting phase Holland by rersisting in neutrality is exciting suspicion in Belgium of Dutch sym pathy with Germany. It is contended by the suspicious ones that through the ports of Italy and Holland food stuffs may still reach Germany and therefore, Italian and Dutch neutrality stands in the way of Great Britain, France and Russia completely cutting Germany off from outside supplies.
 According to story told by Dutch men who returned from Antwerp and paper, the feeling against the Dutch on this account is so strong in Bel sium that their lives are unsafe.
