CoTHALs FACES BIG JOB
Slide At Gailard Cut Greatest In
Canals History.

Panama, Oct. l0-A careful sun :
yey Of the slide area in the Gaiiaif'
cut reveals the fact that there PROB
ably are 100000 cubic yards OF
earth in motion, which must be taken
out by dredging operations before d
permanent channel through the cur
is possible. This is the conclusion
reached by the canal engineers VINO
concede that there is now little hope
Of opening the waterway, even 1or
The: temporary use OF shipping Hue':
before the first Of the year.
The present rate Of wet excavation
is 100000 yards q month, ana at
this rate it would require not less than
10 months to remove the mass winch
is now sliding into the canal con-
siderably faster than the dredges
can take it out. 1t is said that Oh
rem the canal bottom bulges up to Il
height of Is feet above the surface
of the water, due to the tremendous
weight of the hillsides.
The area of motion is roughly cal
culatei % be in the neighborhood Of
ITS acres, which constitute the great
est slide area in the history OF the
canal. 1t extends 1000 feet along
both banks of the waterway, with
probably an average OF l,5Oo 1eet
back of the centre line of the canal
prism.
Maj.-Gen. George w. Gothals, Gov
crnor of the Canal Zone. has not yet
made an official announcement con-
corning the probability of opening =
temporary channel, hut is is belieV,
cd shippoing interests have been CIV
on to understand the nature of tht
situation, and it is probable that
most of the 100 ships now here await
ing passage through the canal will bC
ordered to their destination by othc,
routes.

GERMAN PAPERS
 RAP AMERICAN NOTE
Press Claims Kaiser Has Conceded Everything That Is Possible

Berlin, July 26.--The latest Amer ican note to Germany concerning sub- marine warfare was received most unfavorab1y by the German newspa- pers. The 'Vossische Zeitung', in a long editorial, says:
 .eThe refusal to accept Germany's practical proposal to pratect American passengers shows an absolute lack of readiness to understand the German standpoint The principle that bel ligerent states must protect neutrals is untenable if applied in the fullest sense. as it would mean abdication to neutral states. It is true that bel ligerents must respect neutral rights, but only provided neutrals do every thing to prevent their citizens getting into situations where protection is impossible.
 Victory Supreme Law
 Victory over the enemy is the su- preme law for every belligerent. Those who render more difficult this task than does international law support the enemy. The war on land has shown clearly that restrictions are ne- cessary person who remains with in a beleaguered fortress or walks in to a gunfire zone risks his life with out right of protection from his home government.
 ''The same also is true of naval warfare in spite of the mistaken phrase freedom of the seas It is granted that the ocean is free for peaceful travel, but naval battles also take place on it. Neutral ships sailing between fighting battleships run the risk of being hit by shells and also of being struck by mines The submarines only instruments are the firing of torpedoes.
 Not Neutrality, but Partisanship.
 Those who demand that Germany should conduct the war according to rules. laid down by some academic professor expect Germany either to endanger her submarines or to give up this warfare, which means the weakening of Germany in the inter- est of her enemy. This is not neu- trality, but partisanship against Germany.
 We know today that the passen- gers (of the Lusitania) could have been saved, but that they were ne- glected. Germany regrets their death, but she has a clean conscience, and has no reason to disapprove of the conduct of her submarine com manders.
 No More Concessions.
 President Wilson considers the further torpedoing of British war ships carrying American passengers

possible for submarines to establish whether Americans are aboard mer- chantmen which are attacked, and Ss a consequence, all ships could proceed freely. The American attitude is neither friendly nor necessary to the American interest, nor neutral in spirit. Principles are brought to the foreground and practical conciliatory proposals are rejected in order to re- lieve our enemies from the effects or a policy increasingly injurious to them and correspondingly advanta- geous to the Germans"

Amsterdam Asserts
Penfield Has Been
Given Vienna Reply

AMSTERDAM, Dec. 16.--Austria fails
to meet the American demand for
prompt disavowal Of the sinking OF the
Italian liner Ancona in her reply to the
American note.
Vienna dispatches state that the Aus
trian reply was delivered to American
Ambassador Penfield yesterday. 1t con-
tains a request for more time and fur
ther negotiations.
Austria, according to reports current
in Vienna, makes no reply to the Amer
lean demand that the commander of the
submarine that sank the Ancona be
punished. There is every reason to be-
lieve, Vienna dispatches assert, that
Austria will never consent to this step.
The tone of the note is conciliatoryr
however, Austria expresses a desire to
exchange views with the United States
with the idea Of arriving at an AMIGA
BILE settlement.
The Austrian government expresses
regret that American lives were lost
through the sinking of the Ancona and
suggests that the question of financial
reparation can be easily settled after an
agreement has been reached on the
principal points at issue.
The Austrian government suggests
according to the dispatches. that the
{ American Government state more clear
ly its reasons for questioning the act
OF the submarine commander.
In view of the firmness with which
the American Government voiced its de
mands for disavowal and punishment
! of the submarine commander, Austria
| suggests that Washington must DO IN
! possession of the actual facts regarding
| the sinking of the Ancona. 1t requests
I the United States to lay these facts be-
