The Way 1t Is Done.

A PROPOS of the six-hundred- and
\ twenty five-thousand-dollar contribu-
ton of Mr.. Cleveland II. Dodge and his
wife to the recent Y. NJ c. a. fund
George w. Perkins said in New York:
Such gift inspires us with respect
for the cause to which ii is contributed.
We all believe the Y. NJ c. A to be Il
splendid charity, but We are strengthened
in this belief when we hear of gifts to il
like this.
But" continued Mr.. Perkins, I'VE
must also give much credit for the rails
ing of S4000o00 III SO short u time 10
the earnestness of those who appealed
to the public in behalf of the Y. NJ. c. a.
In order to touch the hearts of contrib
utors it is necessary, you know. to feel
deeply and sincerely the charity's worth.
I'm this connection j am reminded of
the case of an orphanage which WAS
much in need of funds. A venerable clrr-
gyman. weakened by age and poor health,
but once a celebrated preacher, was asked
phanage-
Although he pleaded that he was phys
fcally unfit for the task, the trustees per-
suaded him to undertake it
ION the appointed day he went into
the pulpit, but the ordeal was too much
for his strength. His eyes full of tears.
his lips trembling. he could only murmur
with great pathos Those poor children,
Those poor childrenr and then he sank
down exhausted.
Here. as always Mr.. Perkins con-
tinued, 1.-The earnestness of the appeal
touched the hearts of the listeners; for
the collection was the largest the or
phanage had ever received"

cred with dead thickets, and in places
there are so many dead trees that it
makes one think of the Dismal swamp.
Some of these trees are as white as the
bones of a skeleton, and are naked of
bark. Others are already loaded with or
chids of many varieties. Some have only
their tops out of the water, and We now
and then see green palm, the trunk of
which Is in the bed of the lake and only
the leaves showing out. The palms seem
to last longest. and there are many buried
to the roots of their branches, the latter
looking like punches of gigantic ferns on
the bed of the lake.
We often bump against logs as we move
through the canal channel. The trees rot
quickly and a great part of the lake Is
now covered with floating timber This
will be gathered together and RATED to
the spillway, before the canal Is in active
operation. 1t will there be rolled over the
dam and go down to the ocean.
X
Another striking feature of Gatun
lake is the floating plants which cover
its waters. There ARE great beds of
water lettuce and masses Of water hya-
cinths floating about as well as spots
where green plant like a scum covers
the surface. The water-lettuce has very
short roots and it will not impede navi-
CATION. The hyacinths are different.
Some of their roots are ten and twelve
feet in length, and they will have to be
destroyed before the canal is in use.
There are many aliigators in part OF
Lake Gatun, although most of them are
small. Still they are SO dangerous that
the natives will not go swimming in the
lake, and they are very careful to keep
out of their way while fishing along the
shores. There are some tapirs on the
banks of the lake and it may be that
a few may be found upon the islands.
We see many wild birds and among
others the white heron from which the
aigrettes for our ladies' hats come. There
are also wild ducks, and several pelicans
fly up as We ride about among the
floating islands.
Just now, however. the pelicans which
have been getting their food from Gatun
lake are in bad way. The decaying
vegetation is creating gases in the water
which are destroying the fish. and this.
added to the paint which is washing
off Of the lock gates, has sent hundreds
of dead fish and reptiles over the spill
way. OF late the fish mortality has been
decreasing, and when the water Is
cleared of dead trees, as it will be with
in a short time after the lake assumes
its normal level, the number of fish will
rapidly increase.
The big steamers will be several hours
In crossing Lake Gatun, and l predict
that the beauties of the voyage will be
such that it will make this place one
of the scenic marvels of the world. The

during the past few weeks, and We see
fresh masses of clay and rock which
have rolled down, hiding the green.
Most of these slides do but small dam
age. They enter only the sides of the
channel and the dredges have no trou-
BILE in cleaning them out.
A little farther down We come to En-
pire where some of the greatest slides
begin. and farther still to Cucuracha, the
slide of the cockroach, where the earth
has been moving for the past thirty
years. That slide covers forty-seven
acres, and at one time it was moving
down the mountain at the rate of four
teen feet a day. There is another slide
which covers seventy-five acres, from
which enough earth and rock have been
taken to equal a great column 300 feet
square and higher than the Washington
Monument.
x y
The slides altogether have now cover
ed an area of 251 acres. They have
ranged in area from one acre to seventy
five acres and their mass is inconceiv-
able. Two hundred and fifty acres would
make good-sized farm, and the volume
of earth is estimated by the tens of nil
lions of cubic yards. Already enough
slide material has been taken out Of the
canal to make a wall as high as a two
story house and more than three feet in
thickness, reaching from Boston almost
to Chicago, and by the time the canal
is completed we shall have dug out
from the slides alone mass equal to a
half dozen pyramids as big as the big
gest in Egypt, with still some earth to
spare.
Admiral Rousseau tells me that there
is no doubt that the time of danger
Gus slides is rapidly coming to an end.
There has been a diminution of them
since the water came in, and the breaks
OF the humping up of the bottom of the
canal has altogether disappeared. We
have now forty feet of water in Culebra
cut, and we shall have forty-five short
ly after the LIST of January. If 1t were
not for the Cucuracha slide vessels
drawing thirty EIGHT feet could now go
through the canal This is the draft of
the Olympic and the Mauretania and
vessels of that class, but they draw that
much only when heavily loaded, and
they are seldom so loaded
Turning our launch toward the Allan
tic. we steam back through the cut and
out into the Lake of Gatun. This sheet
of water is an artificial one. 1t has been
made altogether by the Gatun dam, which
runs across the outlet and between two

gestion is accepted as a compliment To
be respectfully declined.
1t NAV be surmised that these countries
would prefer to be in position to fill the
role of critics rather than to share in
grave International responsibilities. Iney
want to keep out of an international I'M
broglio in order to be free to follow their
own national policies.
In Chile the feeling against mixing III
lis so strong that when during Col. Roose-
velt's visit, persistent rumors were iii
circulation that he was there as an
agent of mediation. anof1cfal denial was
put forth that the government was FAVOR
able to mediation. This confirmed what
Chilean public man had said TO me:
I'VE do not care to become involved in
any international policy" he remarked,
which would make it necessary to land
marines in Mexico along with yours or
those Of any other country. Our marines
are for our own purposes" Practically
the same statement was made in Argen-
tina and Brabil
During the last four months I have
talked with perhaps a hundred Ameri-
cans. Generally the horizon of the bust
ness man in international affairs is not
wide one, and he is apt to measure it
by his own Immediate interests. regard
less Of broader national considerations
Little of this tendency is noted among
these men, There Is surprising unanim-
ity of statement that North American
business in South America is able to
take care of itself. 1t is assumed that
in the event of the United States inter
vening actively to eliminate Huerta there
will be concerted effort to create
prejudice against American goods, which
may be partially successful temporarily.
Almost without exception they are ready
to meet this prospect What concerns
them much more is the evidences they
see of the waning prestige of the United
States. Any policy which will restore
confidence in our ability to handle the
Mexican situation, Will appeal to their
patriotism and will command their sup
port, regardless Of the effect ON their
own business Of any passing unpopular
ity that they may be made to feel in their
South American surroundings.
An American in Rio de Janeiro who has
known these countries intimately Tor
twenty years, first in connection with
our diplomatic and consular relations
and later as the representative of bust
ness firms of the United States. gave me
this analysis of the situation:
Whatever course the United States
takes in Mexico it must count on con-
siderable unpopularity among South
Americans, because a great majority OF
them are swayed by ignorance and pref
udice. They fear us, and Their ignor-
ance is played on. There are many edu-
Gated South Americans who understand
us and sympathize with our national
policies, but they are class apart and
they do nothing to combat the misrepre-
sentation that the mass of the popula-
ton accept. Perhaps they think 1t hope
less to go against the tide. My observa-
ton is that the best course Tor the
United States to pursue when 1t has de-
cided on any policy In reference to Latin

papers with one conspicuous exception,
it is either Indifferent or unfriendly. The
leading journal of Brazil, whose editor
has lived in the United States and who
enjoys the friendship OF our public
men, presents in friendly way the rea-
sons for the course Of the United States
in seeking to eliminate Huerta- Recent
ly some articles of a different tenor have
appeared.
In one of them it was remarked that
while the regime of DiaZ was not suited
to the United States, yet neither was
the regime of the United States suited
to Mexico President Wilson's lack of
travel and knowledge of the various
countries also was commented on as I'M
fortunate. Notwithstanding articles of
this kind, there Is no reason to assume
that friendly exposition of the policy OF
the United States will ever be denied a
place in the columns of this journal.
From the echoes which reach South
America too much Of a disposition seems
United States to ignore the newspapers
that are Indifferent or unfriendiy. They
cannot be dismissed as 1.-The sensational
PRESS which possesses no influence.
With the classes among whom the friend
ly exposition policy of the United States
in regard to Mexico Is most desired they
possess great influence.
X X
I have described the attitude of the
educated classes who are fully informed.
If these misunderstood and misinter-
pref the motives and intentions Of the
United States, 1t is through perverse-
ness and not from lack of knowledge. but
with the masses the trouble is ignorance
Before them always is projected as on
a screen the specter of the United States
grabbing territory and absorbing weaker
peoples. Among these masses the inn
preston has been created that our
policy in Mexico has been to weaken that
country by letting the present troubles
continue until it can be easily annexed.
American view of the relations of the
United States and Mexico is the extent
to which this belief is growing. No
foreigner in Brazil, Uruguay, Argentina,
Chile or Peru can fail to observe it,
This sentiment is spreading insiduously.
anti-Americanism. meaning anti-North
Americanism.
The course of the various South Amer
lean governments is what could be de-
scribed as automatically correct" None
of them has taken a position which would
be considered as Intentionally offensive to
the United States. 1t may be assumed
that they have been kept very fully in
formed of the situation by their diplomat
ic representatives in Washington. That
the various European governments have
been at pains to make known their posi-
ton and to sound out the attitude of the
South American governments seems to
have been overlooked. But this has been
done.
With the respective policies of the
United States and Europe before them,
the attitude of the South American gov
ernments. while passive, has been to ac-
