journey through the canal, under the control of pilot, is not allowed usually to exceed about five knots in speed. The canal is a so called two ship canal, and without danger of collision. Not only can two of the largest merchant steam ships pass one another, but two of the biggest battleships can do likewise.
 Relation to Dockyards.
 It's wartime value Is increased by its relation to the dockyards and naval bases of the German coast. On one side it connects Wilhelmshaven, the base Of the North sea fleet, with Kiel, the Ball. tic base, and Dantzig, also shipyard and base. In sixteen hours it is esti- mated the whole Baltic fleet can pass through the canal if necessary.
 The harbor of Kiel, one of the finest on the German coast, with uniform depth of forty feet, is defended by six forts and is naturally a port of great strategic strength. The five imperial

was suggested that the trade and labor
 organizations of the city and the work
 ingmen generally would have no qualms
 about taking part in such a reception,
 and. as had been expected, the matter
 was generally agreed to, so that the re- ception to MT. Davitt was given of f1cially by the working people of the city.
 ''Tn order to hasten growth it was de- cided to declare for labor holiday, at which a parade should be held to make a. showing of how strong the labor or ganizations of New York city and vii cinity were. I was not present at the
 meeting at which ! was chosen grand marshal I learned it the next day throurh the papers. Of course l was exceedingly fattered by the compn-
 mert paid me and jumped enthuslastl- ,.r1, into the work of organizing the
 nronosed parade. I may say here that learned several years later why the honor had been thrust upon me. It was ,,o nersonal tribute at all. A canvass of the delegates had developed that 1 no,,a of them was certain he could ride , horse. that perhaps l could because some one had heard me say that had ror a time carried the government mall hatween two certain points during my +orn of service as soldier iI tho CIVIL war.
 And so started the first parade of the c. F. U.
 "As we marched up Broadway we urged those on the sidewalks to join l in. Many of them did so but mainly the onlookers chaffed us.
 "Many truckmen had their little jokes when they stopped their teams squarely | in front of us The four policemen in the lead made a show of compelling l these men to remove their teams, but their orders were not taken seriously, and so the teams moved from our front l deliberately. The drivers were a hodge, hodge then, but now they are so thor ouehly organized that they practically control everything that runs on wheels in this city and are able to obtain con- | sideration of their demands as to hours and wages.
 | "Another class which sought to have finn at the expense of the paraders was the garment workers. As we passed
 up through the garment manufacturing district they crowded their shop win l dows and laughed and shouted and
 threw things at us. After we got past
 the truckmen and the garment work
 CTS we had little of which to complain 1 "Nearly 4,000 men took part, but
 more than 10000 tickets of admission
 were sold at the gates of the park be-
 fore the close, which showed that the | labor movement was stronger on the evening of the first Labor day than it l had been in the morning."

It is today the Teutonic spearhead which pushed forward the fartherest toward the nglo-Saxon domain.
 Since 1890, when Lord Salisbury made his wonderful trade, the tiny is- land has been reconstructed. The kaiser has spent $30,000,00O there. She is fortified against sea and cannon alike, with great granite buttresses sixteen feet thick and 24O feet high on all sides. Even the Assures in her clifts have been filled up and bound to- gether forever with concrete-thou- sands of tons. Today the little one time crumbling island is incased with a ce- mented belt of armor fortified with $7,500,000 worth of guns. And right here in the open sea Is the kaisers ad- vanced naval and aeroplane base, with it's east coast a forty eight fathom roadstead which can hold the entire German fleet in safety and 100 miles nearer England than they are at home. Millions of Rounds of Ammunition.
 Helgolands magazines contain mil lions of rounds of ammunition. Mines, torpedoes, aerial bombs and submarines are there in abundance. It's huge gar rison is heavily provisioned for siege of years. From the armored case ments peer Bertha Krupp's heaviest guns, which can sweep the sea for twenty miles. It would take all the navies in the world to hammer them down.

tralize the tidal changes, the canal crosses the peninsula at sea level. The locks are operated by hydraulic power. At the Brunsbuttel end two formidable miles are built out into the waters of the Elbe, with lighthouses at their ex- tremities. In the whole length of the canal there are seven turning out places, used only in the passage of ex- ceptionally large warships. Four dis tinct railway lines cross the canal at different points. One of these, the i'm posing high level bridge at Levensau, carries road and railway over the canal in an arch of 430 foot span, 130 feet above the level of the water.
 From Brunsbuttel to Rendsburg- more than half way to Kiel-the canal passes through low and uninteresting moorland. Beyond that point the char acter of the country changes, and hills and beech forests and numerous little lakes make pleasant setting. The

at the foot of the Jutland peninsula,
 begins at the mouth of the Elbe river, near the town of Brunsbuttel; thence 1t follows course northeast to Grun- enthal, from there east to Brogstedt,
 and finally southeast, following most
 of the way the old Elder canal, built in 17S4 by King Christian VII. of Den mark The eastern entrance to the ca nal is at Wilk, in the harbor of kiel, about two miles from that city. The length of the canal is 9S.65 kilometers, or little more than sixty miles.
 Dimensions of Canal.
 Before the recent work of broadening and deepening Kiel canal was begun it's dimensions were approximately: Depth 30 feet, width at bottom 70 feet, width at top 22O feet. At night it is lighted by electricity. To make the passage of the canal requires for an ordinary steamer about nine hours.

All this vast plant for war is kept behind walls of strictest secrecy. Even in the days of peace no one was all lowed to inspect the extensive hangars or go behind the parapets where the great guns are mounted. Visitors must keep to Unterland, the little village down by the shore, or stay strictly within the confines of the settlement on the Oberland, as the clift top is called.
 And such is Englands sorest spot today But this is not all.
 The kieI Canal Valuable.
 In June, 1914, the kaiser opened the Kaiser Wilhelm canal, commonly known as the Kiel canal. This water way joins Kiel, a strong naval port, with the mouth of the Elbe river, near which lies Wilhelmshaven, the head quarters of the German navy.
 Of primary importance to German strategy at the present juncture is this canal, at whose Baltic sea entrance is situated, on magnificent harbor, the strongly fortified naval base at Kiel. By means of the canal the German Baltic fleet can, as it is reported to have done, quickly go to the assistance of the German high sea fleet, stationed at the North sea, or, if the occasion should arise, it offers safe retreat for the kaiser's navy. l
 The canal, which is in the Prussian province of Schleswig- -Holstein, almost |

 NA thing about the plan to
 " end the strife in Mexico
 and the men who aided the United States in framing the new policy is interesting at this time.
 The calling in of the South American diplomats was a wise step, it is ad- mitted on all sides. At the outset it was made clear that this nation had no intention of seeking to obtain any Mexican territory, and this fact made the South and Central American re- publics eager to replace bandit rule with an up to date government
 Something about the South Ameri- can diplomats who are aiding is like wise very interesting. Right from the start there was no quibbling, no hesi- tating over details To those who be- lieve that Latin America is still under the influence of the manana Ctomor- row") spirit the conferences have been a revelation. If it is the American custom to get down at once, on any thing, to brass tacks," so is it now ap- parently the South American custom as well. The plans are going ahead on basis of pure business.
 For this, it is asserted, due credit must be given to Ambassador da Cana. If there ever was a being to whom the term of hustler might be truly ap- piled it is surely due to this quiet, forceful looking man from Brazil. A few inches under the average height, just tri1e inclined to stoutness, dig nified in his every move, with coun- tenance that bespeaks kindly shrewd- ness and with eyes that are constantly alert, he seems more the ideal Ameri- can business type than the diplomat. Trained at the feet of one of the worlds greatest diplomats of the modern school, Rio Branco in whose suit he first came to the United States in 1895, when Branco solved the territorial dis pute that involved Argentina, Boliva and Brazil Da Gama has apparently brought to himself all the keeness that distinguished his great master and has, besides, schooled himself to a capacity for work that is amazing.
 This view of the Brazilian ambassa- dor is only one of many similar ex- pressions, and it's counterpart is found in the assertion that to his excellency Dr. Romulo $. Naon, the minister of Argentina, must be awarded the title for suavity. while to his eXcellency Senor Eduardo Suarez Mujica, the minister of Chile, is given credit for the most pronounced manifestation of

docks and the shipbuilding yards are on the east side facing the town. and they comprise basins capable of hold ing the largest battleships afloat. The imperial yard employs 1000 men, and 1000 more are employed in the two pri- vate yards, the Germania-belonging to- the Krupps-and Towards. These three yards constitute one vast dock yard and can work in cooperation if required Seven Dreadnought battle- ships have been built or are building in these three establishments. The esti- mate of 1914 provided for an enlarge ment of the torpedo establishments at Kiel and the construction of a second large floating dock.
 The canal did not present the engi- neering feats the building of the Pana- ma canal presented. There were no high mountains to cross. The terri tory runs through low land. The big gest engineering feats were the build ing of railroad trestles over the water way to clear the masts of the big ships. These trestles were so high that they, had to make big loops to attain the needed altitude.
 The sluices of the canal near Holtenau, 1072 feet long and 146 feet wide, are the largest in the world. At the cele- bration in June, 1914, when the recon structed canal was formally opened, the kaiser took his position at Holte- nau, the gateway of Kiel harbor. There a ribbon was stretched across the ca- nal. The kaiser's yacht steamed against the ribbon and broke It. thus opening the canal to commerce end to the warships of the German empire.

CTS, the result of the panic and Black Friday of six years before, and, while the stock gambling clements which had caused the panic of 1873-4 had to a large extent recovered from the result ing disasters, all classes of labor were demoralized. Between 1874 and 1880 many attempts had been made to bring about understandings between the workers in the various trades and thus to stop the 'cutthroating' in the matter of wages which prevailed among the
 men seeking work; they were all more
 or less failures. There was general

 These three ministers are as diffe~ ent in type as are the Mexican fac tions. While Da Cana seems to em- body a combination of the best ideals of his own country with the distin- gushing characteristics of the Amer ican business man, Naon is apparently entirely American and Mujica entirely French.
