URGES THAT PRESIDENT

Lieut.. Col. Harding Says it viii Take
Until November TO Clear Away
Slide

Lieut.-Col Chester Harding, the en-
gineer in charge of the Panama canal.
has sent a message to the Secretary Of
War at Washington recommending that
President Wilson issue an executive or
der officially closing the canal until
November l.
Colonel Harding explains that it will

fore that date. and perhaps not then.
He favors refunding the tolls to those
ships which have paid them and are
now awaiting passage, and also that
arrangements be made to transship the
careoes of the vessels and forward
them to their destinations.
1t is estimated however, that it would
require at least a month for the Pan
anna railroad . complete the trans
shipment OF the cargoes OF the ninety
yessels now in canal waters. The con
ditions caused by the new slide are the
worst in the history of the canal, ac-
cording TO Colonel Harding. More

be removed before the canal is again
deep enough to permit the passage Of
ships through the waters.
The dredgers are maintaining q high
point of efficiency and during themonth
Of September removed more than .000,-
600 yards. The work is being pushed
energetically, and canal officials are
optimistic that eventually the danger OF
slides will be overcome.

MUSICAL COMEDY.

ing Up Father"

When q manager essays to be revolu-
tionary and attempts to offer the pub
lie something that is now in the way
of theatricals he is certain to be re-
warded provided he of course elects to
make his wares come within easy ac-
cess of the humblest pocket. This does
not necessarily mean that he must up
set convention and cut prices down to
the bone. The public is always will
ing to pay for the good things in the
entertainment line but it wants that
entertainment tC be really the best
and not a Misrepresentation.
In extolling the virtues of the new
three act comedy Bringing up
Father" which is headed for the CO.
lonial Theatre Saturday with the usual
performance, we do not think that we
are exceeding the bounds of ordinary
praise by stating that the piece has
all the qualities of capital and wor-
thy production. 1t was constructed
for laughing purposes exclusively and
thus far has fulfilled its purpose.

The Neff System
OF Submarine Propulsion.

The Neff system of submarine pro-
pulsicn is described in bids submitted
on September so for submarine boats
No. 60 ard a. Under the Neff system
it IS claimed that >either gas or Gil en-
gines can be used under water. The
system is intended for installation on
any type of submarine boat An exper-
iment boat On the NefF system was sub
mitted to a naval board appointed some
time ago. The boat had a secret try
out on the Pacific coast with the re-
suit. it is understood, that it received
favorable report. Neither the navy Of
hcers nor the inventor are disposed To
discuss in detail the new system of
propulsion.
The vital part of the improvement is
said to lie in new system of handling
the air supply when boat is submerg-
ed. Mr.. Neff taking space in the sub
marine which was formerly occupied
by one of the unites of power and using
il IN storing compressed air. The stor-
age system is said to be worked out in
such a systematic manner that with il
the boat has large sailing radius
under sea than any other system, and
the crew is privided with a larger sup
ply Of air thanh Y any other system.
Just how this is accomplished is one
Of the secrets of the new system Navy
officers had sufficient faith in the new
system TO cooperate with its inventor
in perfecting it. 1t is stated that Mr.
Neff has been secretly working with Of
ficers in the Navy Department for over
year and has perfected his scheme
on plans that have the approval of the
submarine experts of the service.

FUTURE OF EASTERN MONGOLIA

A writer in the Chuo Koron of TOXIC
has lengthy article in June issue
on japanese prospects in China. In
SbaDtung he does not think Japan can
do much until the war in Europe is
over, but in Eastern Mongolia there
is chance for trade and enterprise.
1t should prove to Japan what Canada
or Australia is to England. In Mon
golia and Manchuria Japan must build
up her basis of future activity in play
ing the important role of harmonizer
of the eastern and western civilizations
While the exploitation of natural re-
sources in Mongolia is worth every en-
couragement. an exodus of Japanese
laboring class immigrants would an
swer no purpose: II would be- the
height of folly for Japanese laborers
to cross over to Mongolia and attempt
to compete with Mongolian workers.
The reason is plain enough. Roughly
estimating the area. of the province at
10000 square miles, and its popu-
lation at 100000, the average .popu-
lation to every square mile is only 49,
The best means of exploiting the prov
ince would be to undertake stock
breeding or mining and such. like
projects that would utilize the labor of
the native people" Surely a moderate
program.

When It's ninety in the shade and
you're lifeless as spade; when the
air is full of dust and your head about
to burst; when you're longing for a
breeze, and you sneeze and sneeze and
sneeze.-you've got it!
When your brain is all a-fire and
your head seems bound in wire; when
your eyes can't bear the light and your
face is swollen tight: when your nose
is all a-glow, and you blow and blow
and blow-you've got It!
When you sniffie from morn till
night. then keep on till morning light;
when there's no chance for rest with
a ton weight on your breast when
your eyes refuse to sleep. and you
weep and weep and weep-you've got
It!
When you've all you can endure and
your friends come with a cure: too

know it's useless to try. and they lie

COMESTTBLES FOR THE
JAPANESE CORONATION

Preparations for the imperial en-
thronement next November are in full
blast all over Japan. Though called
the coronation, the word is not exact,
as no crown is worn by the emperors:
they simply take the throne. On the
first day of the ceremonies there will
be great banquet at the Milo Castle,
at which two thousand guests are ex-
pected to assemble. The banquet will
be in the Japanese style, the trays and
bowls being supplied by the imperial
household. The associated Japanese
restaurants in Kyoto. of which there
are some ESQ, will be entrusted with
the catering. The second days ban
quet will be in European style and will
be entrusted to the Seiyoken and an
other European style restaurant.
