LIQUID MUD AT PANAMA
Gigantic Task Of Removing Hills May
Be the Only Remedy

In the course of an excellent arti-
Gle on the slides in the Culebra cut
the New York Times gives not only
the common assurance that they
were expected from what has been
learned of the nature of the hills, but
that they must continue until an
equilibrium has been established in
the course of nature, or until enough
of the hills has been cut away arti-
fcially to remove the pressure tow
ard the canal. 1t reminds all con
cerned that this difficulty was an
ticipated, and that after experiments
with cutting away the hills it has
been thought best to let nature take
its course, unless as a last resort.
Then it adds this statement which is
familiar to some readers and probab-
lyly has escaped the notice OF many
more;
IF the hills through which this por

tion of the canal runs were OF honest
dirt or ordinary, durable stone, the
problem would be much simpler than
ii is. AS it happens, much OF the IN
DERIVING rock is almost as soluble in
water as sugar is, and now that the
eXcavating done has exposed great
masses OF it to the heavy rains of
Panama, it is turning to almost liquid
mud. This popularity explains why
there is not alone an angle of stabil-
ity" to be reached in the usual way,
hut why the bottum OF the canal it.
self has been forced up by the weight
of the neighboring hills"
What our esteemed contemporary
cannot do, says the Hartford Times,
is to predict the time that will be re-
quired for natural readiustment to the
new conditions. Unless reasonably
certain information on this point can
be obtained within Il moderate time,
it is possible that the gigantic task
of moving a consid cradle pratt of the
hills viii hare to be undertaken, no
matter what the cost or the Tune re
CURED for the work. 1t is even con
ceivable tha another canal may be
required in time as cheaper in the
long run than this which has accomp
lished so much, but involves up to
the present time so great an outlay
for maintenance and is so often rem
dered useless, That last point is of
particular importance if the canal is
with reference to the re-
quirements of war, if that should
como.
1t would not be convenient to have
operations on a great scale depend
on the disability ia canal which
might at any time become impossible
merely through the blind forces Of
nature.

To Serve Double Purpose.

1t is believed that the most frequent
question asked by the visiting COM
rades will be: who are here from
my company or regiment, and where
can>I find them" This is the question
the registration committee proposes
to answer satisfactorily.
The Identification card is intended
to serve a double purpose. First, that
any comrade may tell at glance the
army corps in which service was rem
dered, and the one that the comrade
proposes to affiliate with during the
reunion. Second, If any comrade should
be so unfortunate as to be taken SICK
or meet with an accident, that he can,
by the address on the card, be placed
in communication with his friends
without delay.
The committee has. it is believed,
made ample arrangements to register
every comrade coming to Washington
between September % and 80, but in
order to make this feature of the en-
campment success. the committee
must have the cooperation OF each
visiting comrade by promptly report
ing at the headquarters for registra-
ton.
The registration committee consists
of H. A Johnson, chairman; s. +.
