Colonel ~Geethals, who arrived here
to report to President Wilson, Secre-
tary Garrison and Congress on the

Il have every expectation that it
will be ready on that date Goethals
said. There is no danger that slides
will close the waterway, although geo.
logists tell US that minor slides may
be expected when the water rises to
its full level in the canal.
The defenses of the canal are
practically completed-those on the

ments that the canal is inadequately
protected can be fatty denied
Discussing the question of tolls,
Colonel Goethals said he hal always
favored charging every vessel that
