can be stated that instead of irrepa- rably damaging the canal the great slide will in the end make the canal safer watercourse, and when 1t is re- moved the danger of a recurrence will to a great extent have been eliminated.
 What has happened" said General Hodges, twas clearly foreseen as lar back as October of last year-that IS, we saw that the mass was slowly nov ing into the prism. It was of course impossible to foresee that it would De so suddenly dislodged and plunge III US entirety into the cut blocking It to traffic and causing the great tleup.
 When it was discovered that the rock and earth involved in the slide were moving the most powerful or dredges were put to work removing the rock and other material as fast as It came into the threatened part ot the cut All went we'll, and the dredges were able to keep the channel com paratlVely free until in the early part of september the mass of sliding ma terlal suddenly began to move so last that the block followed. Unfortunately it came with rush, and the dredges were entirely unable to cope with the situation. The result is what the world has since learned, and the problem now Is to get it out. You may rest as- sured the problem will be successfully worked out and the canal, when 1t is again clear will be better canal than 1t ever was before.
 About 10,OOo,0 900 cubic yards of mat ter were involved in the slide. The fact that it was in motion was, as 1 have stated, known to the canal engineers since October of last year. For months, until the sudden rush of September, the movement was very slow. That it was moving could be detected by the drop ping particles. The east side of the slide is north of what is known as Gold hill and north of Contractors hill on being the site of the old village of Gu Zebra, now occupied by a part of the Panama canal garrison and known as Camp Gaillard.
 Since Sept. 20 until the present time the slide has been in continuous mo- tion, the length of the channel ob- structed being about 1900 feet. The width at the worst point has been re- duced to about twenty-five feet and the depth to between three and fifteen feet. The finished width of the channel at the point where the trouble is will be 800 feet and the depth forty five feet These figures indicate the size of the problem confronting General Goe- thals and his men,"

prisoners spoke of the fright - full effect of the French artil- lery. After the battle of the Marne they told the same story, exaggerated, or so it was said. by descriptions of men slain without wounds, asphyxiated by the gas which came from the French projectiles. French infantrymen told of rows of Germans standing dead in the trenches, no wounds upon them, as if frozen into death.''
 The German shells, Charles Workman, a French artillery officer, says, explode on contact with their objective or point of landing, which >is frequently the ground. Part of the explosive force is wasted on the ground, the rest blows up into the air from the bottom of the hole which the shell itself has dug, the sides of the hole limiting the outward force of the explosion. The lines of force of the explosion, then, constitute a danger zone of very limited extent.
 When the shell bursts against wall" he continues, the fragments sometimes trace exactly the parabolic form of the explosion, engraving 1t, often enough, like the tail of a comet against the white wall. The lines of force of the explosion can best be described as cone, with its point on the ground. A man lying within a yard of the point of explosion has not been touched, the fragments passing over him.
 Our explosive shells act very differ ently," he says. They are so con- structed as not to burst on contact with the ground, but, by time fuse, a fraction of second later. With a flat trajectory like that of the '75,' the shell strikes the ground at a single angle, merely digging a small furrow and ric- ocheting into the air. The fuse is so made that the explosion occurs at that very instant-i. e., during the ricochet.
 "The fragments of the projectile are then scattered in every direction, par ticularly downward, in a wide circle, producing the terrible deathblow of the 75,' which mows down and rips to pieces everything in it's zone of action. The German shell bursts up ward from the bottom of a hole, which limits it's sphere of efficacy Our own, on the contrary, burst downward from several yards above the ground, and no dead angle interferes with their effec- tiveness. This is why the ruse, accord ing to which our men lie down when the German shells drop among them, would not avail the Germans when we get the range. On the contrary lying down would but expose them the more.
 "This Is not all. For a long time it has been observed and We have fre- quently remarked that a large number of Germans slain by our guns have no visible wounds. They have but this mark-their faces are almost wholly black. ana this dark mask which 1t

The United States has, at the most favorable estimate of the American Defense society, a bakers dozen sea planes, most of which are unfit for war duty. According to Henry Woodhouse of the American Aero club, we need altogether for army and navy, at least 2,0OO.
 We also need the newest types of aero planes, capable of very high speed. The United States has at present eleven biplanes and eight ordered, but has not actually got an aeroplane that can fly under war conditions. The French had about 1,500 at the outbreak of the war. the English and Germans almost as many. Altogether, includ- ing seaplanes, we have less than twen- ty, according to the American Defense society.

 "The liquids, more particularly the blood. which bathe our organism are contained in light and elastic vosseis and tissues" he says, "in such way that the pressure exerted on these ves sells by the surrounding atmosphere is about balanced by that of the hauios inclosed.

ice, as demonstrated by the present war.
 In past years the general board or
 the navy has made it's report-and, on the whole, consistent report-and the secretary of the navy has thereupon, with the advice of political leaders in the senate and house of representatives, decided upon just how little the coun- try would accept. It frequently hap pened that these recommendations of the secretary, themselves modification of the general board recommendations,

The Atlantic torpedo flotilla is the most war ready unit of our navy. We have forty modern destroyers; but, ac- cording to recommendations of the gen eral board of the navy, we should have 192, or four for each battleship.
 For the first time in the history of the country when not actually con- fronted by war, as was the case in 1898, army and navy experts have apparently adopted the policy of presenting to congress the actual needs of the serv-

For months before the sudden plunge of the great mass into the canal Gen. eral Goethals, governor of the canal zone, and his associates worked day and night keeping the channel clear, their calculations being such that had the slide continued its way slowly the engineering staff would have been able to free the threatened part of the cut as fast as the dirt and rock came into it.
 This statement was made by Briga-

dier General H. F. Hodges. U. s. A., who until his promotion to his present rank last year was assistant chief en- gineer of the canal and who knows every foot of the waterway from the Atlantic to the Pacific terminals. Gen. eral Hodges, who has kept in close touch with the situation caused as result of the great slide, talked of the problem confronting General Goethals
 For the benefit of the pessimistic it

The navy is without battle cruisers and scouts. On going into battle 1t would be exactly in the position of man who undertook to fight an oppo- nent blindfolded. We accordingly need a hotilla of at least six swift battle cruisers carrying in their main batteries guns of the highest caliber. We also need scout cruisers of the lightest and. swiftest type to discover the enemy's whereabouts in time of need.
 The submarine as an engine, of war has not yet been satisfactorily tested out. The success of the German sub marines, which for so long time filled the public mind, was mainly against merchantmen. It, of course, goes with out saying that an equal amount of damage upon the English merchant fleet could have been accomplished bS any speedy warship without half of the danger and expense of a submarine had Germany been able to get her war fleet upon the North sea. Still, it is not to be questioned that an adequate fleet of seagoing submarines should be provid- ed for the American navy. We have no submarine in commission yet of the seagoing type, although ten are build ing or authorized.
 We have about 30,OV0 moDlle troops in the United States scattered around in a number of army posts. The an- nual appropriation for the needs of the army is $120, 100000, and the total re- cruiting strength is a little short of the authorized legal limit of 100000 men. This makes the annual cost of every soldier in the United States arrnys | little over $1,200. The annual cost of every soldier in the Swiss army is ] $16.50.
