Sidelights on the European War

Panama Correspondence of The
Associated Press Two units OF the
submarine fleet stationed in Panama
canal waters in conjunction with the
I Coast Artillery Corps have Just com
pleted a series OF war manoeuvers al
the Pacific entrance TO the canal with
the view of testing the efficiency OF
the shore batteries on the fortified
islands The two submarines and the
mine layer. General j. NJ. Schofeld
which towed q number of barges. were
supposed to represent a hostile fleet in
an attempt to run past the short bat
teries and TO evade the mine field that
had been planted as an additional
safeguard.
The approach OF the hostile feet
was observed from the land forts by
means OF the huge searchlights which
have already been placed in position.
The submarines, however, managed to
reach the vicinity of the forts unob-
served and technically are supposed
TO have made it rather uncomfortable
for the batteries. Part of the hostile
fleet was destroyed" by the mines
over which it passed, the mines being
discharged from the batteries when
the ships were directly over them.

Vienna-( Correspondence OF The
Associated Press notwithstanding
the war Viennese theatres have been
doing an excellent business. especially
the Imperial Hofburg theatre and the
Imperial Opera house Both of these
were closed for some weeks after the
usual date for reopeuing. pending ar
rangements with the leading actors
and singers for a reduction Of salaries.
Finally it was agreed that all salarlcz
OF less than $3.50 a year should re-
main untouched, but the higher ones
should be reduced so per cent This
was done in view OF the fact that the
number Of performances would be lin
tied TO four a week and the prices of
admission reduced one half The con
sequence was that the public locked
TO opera and HofburE and both houses
were sold out at every Performance.
Il was understood that this arrange
ment was only temporary. Nov the
prices OF seats have been advanced
20 per cent. and the higher paid actors
and singers receive 20 per cent OF the
salaries paid 10 them before the war

Efforts to find satisfactory foot

Nevertheless It is stated that digging

concrete will be poured only to a
depth Of about twelve feet. Terms of
the contract leave the question OF
excavation and depth Of foundation
to the Judgment Of the contractor and
the architect. The trenches are filled
with water now. Il is stated that they
have not been carried down TO rock
at any point and that, in fact, the
stone is at least twice as far deep as
the trenches have been dug
Material taken from the bottom of
the trenches is largely gravel and
coarse sand. A considerable fill has
been made at this point. The condi-
tons met with bear out the warnings
