DEMAND FOR STOCKS
NOT HEAVY TODAY
Suit Against Lehigh Valley Appeared to Have Been Dis
continued in Yesterdays Decline

New York. March 1s. - Steadiness of
the early market and the absence of
outside selling orders, despite the in
lection of news of unfaYorable influ-
ences into the speculative situation,
prompted operations for the long ac-
count. and prices were advanced. The
Governments suit against Lehigh VAL
ley appeared to have been discounted in
yesterdays decline. and the anthracite
stocks betrayed no weakness.
Reports from the steel trade told of
decreasing new orders and the, posi-
bility of contraction of operations in
some mills. These reports were parti-
ally Offset by the fayorable character
of United States Steels annual report.
The demand for stocks was not heavy,
but at noon the general level showed
fractional Improvement.
Bonds were irregular.

SHIPS WILL PASS THROUGH
CANAL WITHIN THREE MONTHS
By Associated Press

Washington, March 19.-Though
merchant ships are expected to be
passing through the Panama Canal in
the course of trade within the next
three months the canal makers still
have much work ahead of them.
Nearly all of what is known as the
permanent dam and lock construction
has been finished, but owing to the
earth slides in the Culebra cut many
hundreds of thousands of cubic yards
of earth must be removed therein to
broaden the channel to it's full width.

ton Of indirect firing, but now 1t has
been adopted by all modern armies. In
indirect firing the artillerymen shoot at
target which they cannot see, They
can shoot from the rear OF a hill, over
the crest and hit the enemy or the tar
get with deadly regularity. In fact, ar
tlllery officers assert that modern field
guns can be fired more accurately by In
direct firing methods, properly directed
than by direct firing, where the target Is
in sight of the artillerymen.
Indirect firing Is based on the use of the
triangle, and its application requires the
officers to be skilled in the use of geome-
try and trigonometry. The officers are
stationed at some little distance from
their guns, and communicate their orders
by field telephone and flag signals. The
officers are posted at some point, usualy
the ton Of a hill, a church tower, or some
thing Of the sort, where they can observe
the position Of the enemy through power
full glasses The officers station Is one
point Of the triangle, the cannons are an
other, and the enemy or the target the
third point of the angle The base IS me
line between the officers post ana lue
position of the cannons. THIS is Known
distance, and the two angles at the base
are ascertained. Then the use of trigo-
nometry makes 1t easy, for one VINO
knows how, to find the distance oil the
nnn,,,M or TARGET.
