Charlotte Greenwood, favorite COM

Jane is maid in the home of bach

SLIDES IN GAILLARD CUT
HAVE BEEN OVERCOME

PANAMA, Dec. 29.-The slides in
Gaillard Cut which have been menac-
ing navigation have been overcome.
Today the channel is in better shape
than it has ever been before. For a
minimum width of $50 feet it is 35
feet deep, and it is at least 80 feet
deep clear across the original prism,
500 feet wide. The slides at Curcar-
acha and Culebra which have bulged
forward as if to smother the waterway
under their mass have been dredged
away until they look fat and impotent.
Barring some unforeseen development,
such as new break in a wholly unex-
pected place or the crumbling of the
great cliffs of breccia at Gold Hill or
Contractors Hill, the interruptions of
traffic by the sides are done.
The engineers in charge will not
commit themselves to prophecy but
they say the Cut is in the best shape
it was ever in, and the fact that they
have taken away all but three of the
dredges and cut out the Sunday and
holiday work is strong indication of
their confidence in the situation. The
three dredges are carrying the exca-
walton back of the original channel
line in order to establish a defensive
zone to prevent encroachments on the
chained. Much work is yet to be done
to complete the channel to its full
width of 800 feet with a bottom 40
feet above sea level, giving depth of
IS feet, but it is already possible now
to give passage to the biggest ships
on the seas without any trouble.

use of the bayonet. There is no hesi-
tation or sparring for an opening or
elaborate parrying; just a short jab,
and on to the next, the two simple
parties taught being not for defense so
much as to clear the way for attack, a
subtle but important mental differ
ence. This is the gist of the new bay
onet fighting.
Physical training has, however, an
other function in the great armies that
have already tasted the hardships and
casualties of life at the front The
wounded man, treated first at the
dressing sattion, then at the field sta
ticn. sent back to the base hospital,
ard finally to hospital at home, is
frequently capable of being returned
fit for active service if time and care
can only be given to his treatment.
From the general hospital all such
cases are transferred to the convalesc-
ent camp or depot, and many are put
under physical training at once, and
returned to their regiment within six
weeks, but in the slower and more
grave conditions a cure must be effect
ed in months rather than in weeks
II is these men who are sent to the
command depots. after a ten days
furlough, and they once again come
under military discipline after their
month or two of hospital life. From
the standpoint of discipline, this month
OF two has produced great changes in
most of them Many of these cases of
SCARED and injured limbs, stiffened
joints. and other painful wounds can
begin only by the gentlest form of
massage, given after application Of
electricity or radiant heat. From this
they go on to more active massage,
regaining the strength and agility that
have apparently left them.

fer vary so enormously in extent and
gravity that it is not possible to bring
all men up to this state, and some, al
though unfit for active service in the
full sense Of the word, are still able
enough for service on lines Of com
municatson, or for garrison duty
either at home or abroad, while 9TH
ers are unable to do more than seden-
tary work at home, or when not even
this improvement can be obtained
they may be discharged from the
army as unfit for all military service.
by these means, however, at least
half of the men who begin such
course Of graduated treatment and
exercises can be counted on as be-
coming effective members of the
army once again. and the training
which they have undergone, either st
tie beginning of their career, or after
they have borne the burden and heat
of the day, produce lasting effect
and brings them to a higher level of
physical alertness than they could
ever have hoped to reach without it,
