around Landen but the Belgian cav
airy has cut their communications in
the rear.
Fighting Line $50 Miles.
In addition to the fighting about
Diest, Haelen and toward Lorraine
which is the preliminary of the de-
cisive action, there is, more or less
steady fighting along the whole front
of 1870 miles from the environs CT
Brussels to Pont-a- Mussen, jusl above
Nancy. Two million men are lined up
along this front, and all is now in
readiness for their real task.
Except for a glimpse here and there,
the censors are keeping a heavy veil
over all that happens, and not until
one side or the other is decisively
beaten will they allow the full story
to be told.
That the British army has been at
the front is shown by the arrival at
Southampton today of shipment OF
wounded soldiers. The Liege and
Namur forts are still fighting, but the
main German army has passed them
by. leaving two army corps before
Liege with heavy guns to besiege the
forts.
Indications are that Germany plans
to lay siege to the Liege forts. The
Germans are constructing batteries
north of the city. They are also en-
trenching at Wise, and constructing
railroad between Wise and HON.
Dutch Limburg.

CAMDEN'S COTTON
STORAGE CAPACITY
Federal Government Asks For Dada
On Warehouses In Ouachita
County.

Camden, Aug. 12-W. T. Snow
agricultural demonstration agent re-
ceived a request from Washington to
prepare data upon the storage capa-
city of the cotton warehouses in this
county. Mr. Snow investigated and
found that the open storage capacity
at Camden is $4,000 bales, Bearden
1900 aid Stephens 600 bales. By
open storage is meant cotton that is
so placed as to allow the passage of
trucks between each row. If it were
stored solidly in tiers, the ware
house capacity would be trebled.
Ouachita county produced 5000 bales
last year, while 1900 bales were
marketed in the county. One thous-
and two hundred bales could be
stored in Camden using the present
warehouse capacity and no doubt the
outside warehouse could take care
of the remainder.

in the Pacific opposite the canal.
American ships will receive no conces-
sions In fare.
The charge made is expected to re-
turn $12 100000 to the canal treasury
in the first year of operation, which
will cover the 100000 a year cost
of operation, and almost cover the ad
ditional $11,000,0O0 interest on the
money required to build the waterway.
Judging by the experiences of the
Suez canal, the Panama waterway will
be carrying 100000 tons of freight
in a few years, and on that basis a re-
duction of the tolls would be possible
The canal has been completed after
almost four centuries of effort by the
leading nations of the world Balboa
first saw the possibilities of the canal
when he crossed the isthmus on Sep
tember 25, 1913, and found himself
gazing on the Pacific ocean In the
two small ships across the isthmus,
intending to use them In the Pacific
and three years later the city of Pan
anna was founded to become, in short
time, the richest city in the world
and the terminus of the route by
means of which Spanish Adventures
transported the plumber of the Incas
from Peru and other South Ameri-
can countries to Spain. Highways were
paved with brick across the isthmus
to provide route for the pack animals.
The first definite plans for canal
were proposed by Savadera, Spanish
engineer among Baiboa's followers,
who was about to forward his project
to King Charles V. of Spain when the
king died Surveys of the proposed
canal route first were made in 1851 by
Spanish engineers, who reported the
project impossible of accomplishment.
In 1920 King Phillip ii decided against
building the canal after referring the
question to the Dominican friars, who
suggested the project was sacrilegious
because What God hath Joined to-
gether, let no man put asunder."
England became interested in the
possibilities of canal in the latter
part of the seventeenth century when
William Paterson, founder of the Bank
of England, tried to found ccmmun-
ity on the Isthmus of Darien, south Of
the present Panama, with the ultimate

YOUNG MAN WELCOMED SIGN
Showed That Fiery Southerner Might
Almost Be Considered "Back
in the Union"

Senator A. o. Bacon Of Georgia tells
this story of Colonel Clayton, a fiery
southerner who went out Of the Union
when his state did, and fought bravely
through the war. He refused to be
RECONSTRUCTED" after the war was
over.
"'Once Confederate always Con-
federate,' he was wont to say, and
although he recovered from the bit
terness engendered in the four years
of strife he regarded himself as an
alien in the restored Union, and re-
fused to vote or to exercise any of the
duties of a citizen.
when the war with Spain broke
out, however, the old fire burned in
his eye, and he offered no objection
when his son, stalwart specimen of
young manhood, joined the national
army and went to Cuba to fight.
Zone day, after the battle of San
Juan, the young man received a letter
from him.
"Well, he said thoughtfully, after
reading it, father is back in the Union
at last"

of the canal and took over the rights
and properties Of the old French COM
pany. Actual operations started on
May of that year. Two or three heads
of large transportation companies in
the United Sttaes were put In charge
of the building of the canal one after
another at the start of the project, but
each in turn gave up the work and re-
turned home Finally the government
put Colonel Goethals in charge of the
operations and under his leadership
the bulk of the work has been done.
The first union of the Pacific and At
lantic waters was on October 10, 1913,
when President Wilson touched an
electric button in Washington, which
exploded charge under the Gamboa
dixie.
The first boat of any description to
make the complete trip through the
canal was a nameless mud scow of the
Panama railroad, which passed from
the Pacific entrance to Culebra cut in
November, 1913, and was sent to the
Atlantic entrance in the following
month.
On January Z, 1914, the crane boat
Alexander La Valley, an old French
vessel of 1000 tons, steamed through
the canal from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific. The first vessel to steam entire
ly around South America by way of
the canal was the tug Reliance, Capt.
R. C. Thompson, which sailed from
Colon on February IL, 1914.

70 minutes. 1t continued through the
waterway, from deep water on the At
lantic to deep water on the Pacific
side, without incident
Leaving Cristohal, the Ancon passed
several vessels at anchor in the har-
Dor, waiting to follow it through the
canal and thus make the first COM
mercial use of the water.
The decks of the Ancon were crowd
ed with guests of the government and
officials of the canal administration
and the republic of Panama. The
party included Colonel Goethals, U. S.
A., builder of the canal and governor
of the zone; President Porras of Pan
anna, and Capt Hugh Rodman, U. S.
NJ, superintendent of transportation.
In conformity with promise made
by Colonel Goethals, the peace flag of
the American Peace society fiuttered
from the foremost of the Ancon.
Beneath its decks, however, were
two huge pieces of artillery which are
destined to form an important part
in the defenses of the waterway.
The great waterway now becomes
free and open to the vessels Of COM
merce and of war of all nations on
terms of entire equality" in accord
ance to the provisions of the Hay
Pauncefote treaty.
Vessels drawing not more than thir-
ty feet of water and up to 10000 tons
register may now make the passage.
1t would be possible to put some of
the big American dreadnaughts

The passage of the Ancon and its
company of ships opens the canal to
shipping, although the formal opening
of the waterway will not take place
until next spring. Tickets have been
sold at the isthmus to all vessels wait

Manv Women at Work

Prof. Edward A. Ross says that
there are about 100000 women en-
gagged in gainful occupations in the
United States, and that the number is
increasing much more rapidly than
the general population. The factory
has taken everything out of the house,
he says, except the preparing of food
and the rearing of children About
one-third of the single women of the
country between fifteen and twenty
five are engaged in occupations out

only one-fifth of the number are at
work outside the homes, most of them

Granada gave a franchise for a casaI
at Panama to a Frenchman, Baron
Thierry, who failed to raise the cap
ital required to carry out the project.
The first appearance of the United
States in the history of the Panama
canal idea was in 1885, when Henry
Clay introduced a resolution in the
senate which resulted in Charles Bid
die being sent by President Jackson to
visit the various canal routes proposed
and report on their relative feasibil
tiles. Biddle reported in the following
year that he had been so struck by
the feasibility of the Panama route
that he had not visited the other pro-
posed routes, the Nicaraguan, Darien
and Tehuantepec projects.
Ferdinand de Lesseps, the builder of
the Suez canal, formed the Interocean-
ic Canal company in Paris in 1877 and
actual work on the canal was started
in the next year. On January 20. 1880,
the De Lesseps company, in the pres
ence of a distinguished gathering, fred
the first blast for the tearing away of
Culebra hill. De Lesseps withdrew
from the project in 1887 when the i'm
possibility of building sea level canal
within the estimated IL years became
apparent.
At the same time it was indicated
the project could not be completed for
tho estimated cost Of $240,000,00O, as
$500 600, 900 already had been spent.
The company went into bankruptcy.
In 1894 the New Panama Canal COM
pany started work again, but it prac-
tically ceased operations after five
years Of desultory work.
The United States in 1904 obtained
the necessary concession from the new
republic of Panama for the building
