Dr. Finley was chosen by the American Citizens committee in London as the ablest man to lead the dangerous re- lief expedition. The expedition Is going by way of Holland and hopes to penetrate into Germany, but if prevented will at least round up .'efu- gees on the frontier and get them to London. pr. Finley is taking a large sum of money for relief work. Corne- Illus Vanderbilt started from Paris as a special messenger of the United States em mbassy there by automobile for Geneva, St. Moritz and other swiss resorts, to inform Americans there of the plans for their relief and also that arrangements had been made with the Bank of Switzerland to cash letters of credit He has received a special permit from the French war office. also a supply of govern ment petrol.

INTERESTING HISTORY
 OF PANAMA ISTHNUS
Canal Will Be Opened to Worlds
 Commerce on Saturday.

Washington. Aug. 13.-When the Panama canal is opened to worlds s commerce next Saturday. it will crown a series of more than a score of in- teresting points in the history of the isthmus. As briefly told there are:
 First Crossing of the Isthmus-By 13alboa who, on September 25, 1513, much to his surprise found himself gazing upon the Pacific ocean after tWenty-three days journey on foot
 First Ships to Cross the Isthmus- In 1514 Balboa and his men carried two small ships. piecemeal, across the isthmus, intending to use them for further exploration in the Pacific.
 First Regular Traffic Across 18th mus-The spells of conquest sent back to Spain from Peru, which became so heavy that highways paved with stone were laid for the pack trains.
 Credited to Savadera.
 First Thought of Canal-Credited to Savadera. a Spanish engineer. one 0: Balboa's followers, who was about to forward his plans to King Charles E of Spain when the latter died
 First Surveys for a Canal--In 15S1 by Spanish engineers who deemed the project impossible of accomplishment.
 First Official Decision on Canal Project-By King Philip IT,, in 1920, adversely after referring the matter to the Dominican friars. The latter. desiring to obey the kings orders, but unable to report intelligently, sug- gcsted that the project was sacri- legious. They quoted from the Bible: What God hath joined together, let no man put asunder." Accordingly the project was put on the shelf for three centuries.
 First British Interest-In the latter part of the seventeenth century, when the expedition launched by William Paterson, founder of the Bank of England attempted to found a com munity on the Isthmus of Darien, south of the present Panama. with the ultimate intention of esta blishing a tranS-Isthmian route. The plan proved an utter failure. Many other British surveys followed in later years.

mud scow of the Panama railroad, which passed from the Pacific en- trance to Culebra cut in November, 1913, and was sent to the Atlantic en- trance in December, 1913.
 First Vessel to Steam Through Canal-The crane boat. Alexander La Valley, an old French boat of 1,200 tuns which passed from the Atlantic to the Pacific on January z, 1914.
 First Man to Swim Through the canal was Alfred Brown, an Ameri- can, who swam from Gatun Locks 10 Balboa, a distance of thirty miles on November 24 last in 16 hours, 35 minutes actual swimming time

dentals, will vary with the distance shipped. The total cost on 676 cattle shipped from central Iowa to Chicago amounted to $3.98 per head or thirty one cents per hundredweight. This does not include shrinkage in transit. which would have to be added to these costs. As the average shrink age in transit of all classes of cattle is about four per cent of their live weight, the value of this loss in weight may be added to the above costs and the amount calculated on the hundredweight basis. These fis- ures give a fair working estimate. as ordinarily the freight rate will not run much higher, because persons liv- ing farther east will either be a short : CT distance from Chicago or will choose some market still farther east, Those living farther west will, to a great extent patronize the river stockyards. A prominent Kansas feeder estimates, figuring all charges, that 1t costs fifty cents per hundred weight to ship from the central part of that state to Chicago, his charge varying somewhat with the weight of the cattle.
 n chase price and the selling price of an animals is called the margin of profit This is usually estimated on the basis of 100 pounds live weight. Thus margin of $1.50 means that the feeder received $1.50 per hundredweight more for the animals than he paid for them. The amount of margin Is very important factor in the profit from feeding steers. The margin re- quired to break even In feeding opera tions depends upon number of fac tors, the principal ones being (1) the purchase price, CD the weight of the cattle purchased. (3) the value of the feeds used, (4) the gain in weight made by the animals and (5) the length of the feeding period The higher the purchase price, the heavier the steer when purchased. the cheap CT the feeds, the greater the daily gains. and the shorter the feeding period, the smaller the margin may be between the purchase price and the selling price of the cattle, with out loss to the feeder. With a steer of poor quality and with high priced feeds, the margin must of necessity be great, but with the best quality of steers and with cheap feeds the neces> sarE margin may be very small

 First Decision to Build-In 1874, l just 100 years ago, the Spanish gov 1 ernment by decree entered upon the
 construction of an ksthmian canal l but the idea was blocked because the | Central American colonies succeeded
 in throwing off the Spanish yoke. First French Interests-Came in 1 1895, when President Bolivar of the | Republic of New Granada gave a | franchise for canal at Panama to a l Frenchman, Baron Thierry. who failed !, to raise the required capital. First Action by the United States | In 1S35-as the result of a resolution introduced in the senate by Henry ! Clay, Charles Riddle was sent by President Jackson to visit the isthrnus
 and report on the various canal
 routes proposed.
 Report Made in 1886. First Report to the United, States GoNernment-By Riddle in 1896, favorng the Panama route. He had teen so struck with it that he re- turned to the United States without examining the Nicaraguan, Darien or Tehuantepec routes. No action fol- lowed First Railroad Built-From 1S49 to 1855. more than half as long a time ! as has been taken to build the present canal. Fever killed so many thou sands that it was said a laborer was buried under every sleeper on the
 Panama road.
 First Actual Canal Building Begun In 1878 the Universal Interoceanic Canal company incorporated in Paris by Ferdinand de Lesseps, who had built the SueZ canal.
 First Blast-On Culebra Hill, now Culebra Cut on January 10, 1880. by the de Lesseps company in the pres ence of distinguished gathering. First Failure Apparent. First Failure-In 1887 the i'm possibility of digging a sea-level canal within the estimated twelve years and at the estimated cost of s24o,000.OO0 became apparent. More than $280.00O,OOO had already been spent. The company went into
 bankruptcy
 First Work on Lock Canal--Was taken up by the New Panama canal company in 1894. which practically ceased operations after five years work.
 First Digging by Americans-May 1. 19O4-Taking over the rights and property of the French Canal com pany, and obtaining necessary con- cession from the Republic of Panama.
 First Union of Atlantic and Pacific Waters-Blowing Up of the Gamboa dyke, when President Wilson touched an electric button in Washington, October 10, 1913.

Salibury, England, Oct. 16.--Begin-
ming before dawn today from stations
within radius of ten miles, Can
adian troops have been pouring into
camps prepared for them on the roll
ing Salisbury plains near here.
Along the roads the troops every

The people expecting wild west dis
play were disappointed, however, for
with the exceptions Of the sombreros
worn by the cavalry, the uniforms of
the Canadians are much the same as
those of the English troops.
There Is surprising number Of
naturafzed Americans among the
Canadian troops. A sergeant of a
Montreal regiment asked concerning
his previous war experiences, replied
in an American drawl. incidentally
he mentioned that he was veteran OF
Admiral Deweys flagship in the battle
of Manila bay. In many regiments
social distinctions have been obliter-
|ated and men of fortune, with degrees
from American and Canadian colleges
are serving as privates.
On Saturday the only saloon within
the camp will be occupied by General
Anderson as headquarters and at the
same time it will be declared tout Of
