Ranks as Student-Soldier.

Gen. Willie is one of the well known
student-soldiers of Europe. He knew
the older Won Moltke and has been as
sociated with Hindenburg and Joffre-
men who combine practical knowledge
Of warfare with q study of military art
as related to the state and civic So
ciety. He has had exceptional oppor-
tunities for combining both the prac-
teal and theoretical side of army
organization. At the artillery school at
Potsdam he was associated with many
CT the conspicuous figures of the pres
ent war and an acquaintance formed at
that time with Emperor William is
strong today. There. too. he married a
relative of the great Bismarck
Gen Willie is a believer in the rigid
German school of military organiza-
tion. rather than the British system,
which he declared looks upon military
training rather lightly as sport"
Military preparation is sonething
more than defense of the state and
its citizens" Gen. Willie pointed out
Its first purpose is. of course, national
defense and a readiness to safeguard
the life, property and security of the

DIAGNOSING THE SLIDES
By Frederic J. Haskin..

With a commission of leading scien-
lists appointed by the President to in
vestigate into the cause of the siides'
with millions of tons of commerce sent
1000 miles out of its way around the
horn and the little Panama railway
trying with all it's might to do the
work of the big canal, Culebra cut mas
once more caught the attention of the
country.
Everywhere people are asking why
the slides cannot be stopped Time
and again they have been promised
that the trouble was all over, or soon
would be. Last summer channel was
kept open for months q canal tolls yield
ed neat profit; engineers announced
that in eighteen months the slides
would be stopped, and in three years
the possibility of their recurrence re-
moved Then, as though in conscious
irony. Cucaracha from one side and
Culebra from the other flung down
mountains of mud and rock and spolled
the slow labor of thousands or men
as easily as you would kick over an
ant hill.
The ironic humor OF the slides is fully
appreciated on the isthmus. They are
personalities OF a, mysterious, disturb
ing sort o,,.s daod-
w ell, i guess OIu SuSdi dSha .
complacently said the brawny captain
of a dredge last summer. as he stared
at the great red bruise on the slope OF
Culebra mountain. And the next day
old Cucaracha gave a dying Kick and
slammed down a few hundred tons OF
mud for his dredge to laboriously suck
out again. Whereupon he went at IT,
streaming sweat and profanity in the
tropical heat.
So the slides are on everybody's
nerves, from the engineer in charge to
the negroes who work on the dredges
They have ruined tempers and made
dissension without end. They have
shaken high regulations. They have
caused weak men to lay down their
tools and go away from what seemed
a hopeless task. But the general feel
ing on the zone is that the slides must
and will be beaten.
There is really nothing mysterious
about the slides. Some of the men on
the Presidents commission are said
to be earthquake experts. but there is
little chance that earthquakes have
much to do with the case. The prob
lem is really a simple one, but 1t is
tremendously big.

PEACE STEP
BY U. S. AND POPE
Swiss General Thinks Warning
Nations Would Heed
Such Appeal.
TERMED MOST POWERFUL
INFLUENCES IN WORLD
Other Neutrals, He Thinks, Would
Back Up Proposals for End
ing the War.
Correspondence of the Associated Press.

Correspondence of the Associated Press
BERN, Switzerland, December 3
Gen. Willie, commander-i chief OF the
Swiss army, soldier of the school of
Hindenburg and Joffre, today express
ed the belief that the time had come
for 1.-The two most powerful forces in
the world" to combine to put an end
to the European war. These two
forces, he said. were the President of
the United States and the Pope at
Rome.
Gen. WILLIE also discussed with a
correspondent of the Associated Press
the subject of. military preparedness,
describing that condition as not only
a defense of the state and it's citizens,
but as a powerful force for discipline
and efficiency in civil life. and the pur-
suits of industry and commerce.
Would Heed Proposal.
In suggesting a peace proposal at
this time from President Wilson and
Pope Benedict. Gen. Willie said:
"a united appeal from these two most
powerful influences in the world, sec
onded as it would be by other neutrals,
could not but be needed by all the
warning nations"
Gen. Willie said he was not himself
q Catholic, yet the powerful influence
eXerted by the Pope was recognized in
Europe without regard 10 religion.
The time had passed, the general said,
for any weak or halting proposals from
secondary sources. Only the greatest
existing forces could speak with the
emphasis commanding attention, and
Gen. Willie said he was convinced that
through President Wilson and Pope
Benedict there was a good prospect of
restoring peace if they would take
strong and united initiative.

British System inefficient.

On the other hand, Gen Willie believes
that the British system, which draws
its officers largely from men of means
and leisure, has not yielded the same
efficient results, either as an arm of
national defense in time of need or in
making the civil community of Eng
land disciplined and efficient in the
worlds competition of the present time.
When reference was made to the
similarity of the United States and
Switzerland in being republics, and
neutrals in the present war, Gen. Willie
said the interests of the two countries
were much the same, but their military
systems differed widely, Switzerland
having compulsory service in a coun-
try based on democratic principles. In
Switzerland, which was a type ap-
preaching a pure democracy, the peo-
pie had strong military spirit, result
ing from living in country surround
ed by military upheavals for hun
dreds of years. Therefore they readily
yielded their service in a compulsory
military system. Gen. Willie believes
the steady tendency in Europe will be
toward compulsory service, and that
all countries will be obliged to adopt
it as d measure of self-defense and
national security.

Voyages Around Horn
Eat Into Profits.

new cargoes. whereas to go around
the Horn adds. SO much to the length
of the voyage as often to eat up a
large part Of the profit. A ship bound
from San francisco to London, for ex
ample, would require about twenty
nine days longer to go around the Horn
than to pass through the canal if it
were open.
The latest effort to increase the eff
cheney of the Panama railroad was to
install twenty-four large electric
trucks upon the terminals. These take
the places of from 500 to 1000 native
hand truckmen, who have long been a
noisy and picturesque. but rather an
inefficient, feature of the service.
Meantime, the fight with the slides Is
adding heavily to the total cost OF the
month to keep up the work, In addi-
tion to regular dredging operations.

Training for Civil Life.

But another purpose, hardly less i'm
portant, is the training and disciplin-
ing of large body of men. and the
habits of discipline thus gradually in
stalled into the great body of the COM
munity. In this way it builds up a dis
ciplined order of thought, of efficiency.
not only among soldiers, but in every
branch of civil life, making men more
effective in commerce, industry. manu-
facture. trade and all the branches of
civil activity"
This disciplined training, Gen. Willie
believes, has been the secret of Ger
many's tremendous commercial expan-
sion in recent years. Back of it was
the military precision and order which
every branch of the community had ac-
quired during years of military serv-
ice. So that the German system, he
says, has accomplished two results
first. in producing an organization of
national defense unparalleled for COM
pleteness and efficiency, and second. a
highly disciplined and efficient civilian
society suited to compete on the most
effective terms in the worlds competi-
tion Of commerce, trade and industry.

students have ever had the privi
lege OF hearing.
Mr. Patterson left La Junta OF

and one-half years travelling In the

In South America.

United States In that the students
at the Normais are supplied by the
government with books. tuition and
SIS per month TO help defray ex.
penses. while In the United States
the students are only given the tui-
tion.
Another interesting point brought
forward by Mr.. Patterson is the diff
ference In character between the
people OF the United States and the
people OF South American countries.
After once crossing the Rio Grande.
he told us. We find ourselves among
an entirely different class OF people.
Their difference makes them seem
more like Inhabitants OF Mars than
our own neighbors. The women
pride themselves very much on their
beauty. and live for II. while men
pride themselves on the beauty Of
their women. and praise II. and ex-
pect outsiders to admire Il. They
are pretty. according TO Mr.. Patter-
son, but. excepting their graceful
ness. their beauty Is mostly artifi-
cial. The people Of these countries
are very hospitable and courteous
but they have not the moral charac-
ter which the Americans possess.
The Panama Canal was Of great
interest to Mr.. Patterson. The
building of the canal was started by
France. who expected to construct II
on a level with the ocean. but this
was impossible because af the fact
that the tide on the Atlantic side
rises fifty feet and on the Pacific
side only fifteen inches which would
