definitely tomorrow whether or not
the voyage OF the Atlantic feet through
the Panama Canal TO San Francisco
would be attempted this year. Gen

that ships OF even greater draft than
the deepest craft OF the battle fleet
could be transported through the canal
even now, but not under their own
steam. All have 20 be towed and the
dredges are kept continuously busy
pumping the accretlons OF silt and
earth which the slides create from the
bottom of the waterway General
Goethals suggested that Secretary
Daniels accept the advice OF Captain

London. May THE Daily Chroni-

Minister declined the suggestion made
Yesterday that before our troops use
gases in return for German gases there
should be a Parliamentary debate on
the subject. Objections TO thus using
them have been voiced in several quar-
tcrs within the last few days. but
while we are in entire sympathy with
the directors motives, we venture 10
think that they imperfectly appreciate
the facts.
"The facts upon which private as
well as published reports from the
front leave no doubt are that the use
of gases has proved an extreme IS
formidable weapon; that If one side
uses them and the other does not the
latter viii labor under p great, per

effect even upon the bravest troops Of
knowing their enemy has this weapon
