the impending struggle. It was one of the most difficult tasks ever under taken by diplomats, but they succeed ed After long negotiations Argentina and Chile were induced to submit theff controversy to King Edward as arbitrator. The British monarch, af- ter considering the evidence submitted by impartial geographers and -jurists, handed down a decision which was favorab1y received in both countries.
 The first great fruit of that settle ment was a general arbitration treaty between Chile and Argentina, the first Of it's kind ever concluded between nations, by which both countries agreed to submit all future controVer- sies to arbitration.
 The hatred which mad existed for a time between Argentina and Chile inn mediately gave way to spirit of fraternal love. The two nations, aphoricaIIy speaking, fell on each others breasts and wept tears of joy at their deliverance from war, while vowing eternal friendship.
 This spiritual jubi1ation led the women of Argentina, acting on the suggestion of Bishop Benavente, to raise a fund for the erection of a memorial to commemorate the peace. The money was quickly raised, and Mateo Alonso, a young Argentine sculptor, made the design, a gigantic Christ. The statue was cast from old Argentine cannon, ands when com pIeted, was carried by rail to Men doza. At that city the figure was placed on gun carriages, and so, with much difficulty, was transported up the mountainside. The site chosen for

the statue was near the old mountain trail between Chile and Argentina, where it could be seen by all passers- by.
 On the thirteenth of March, 1904, the statue was formally dedicated. Thousands of the most influential citi- zens of the two nations travelled to that remote spot on the mountain side where the Christ of the Andes held out it's promise of peace. The site chosen was on the boundary line, and during the dedication ceremonies the Argentines stood on the Chilean side the booming of guns and the music of military bands the statue was unveil- ed, as a lesson of peace and sCod will to the whole world.
 Since then railway tunne. has been built through the Andes and the old mountain trail i1 almost deserted. The Christ of the Andes is now seldom seen by human eyes, but it none the less potent because of that. The fig ure is of bronze and the Christ on the cross has a height of thirty-one feet, and stands on granite column twenty two feet in height.
 According to reports made to the Congress on Religious Work in Latin America, recently held in Panama, Christianity is decadent and dying in South America. The investigators as- serted that in all the southern repub- lies practically universal belief exists as far as modern learning has pro ceeded.
 This is certainly true in so far as the intelIectuals are concerned. Dis cip1es of French culture as they are,

l Suchis the English translation of the inscription on the noblest peace mOnu-
 ment ever reared by human hands. Solitary and alone it stands in the towering Andes, surrounded by snow clad peaks, Q memorial of the past and a promise for the future.
 In days like these, when the greater part of Europe is torn by strife and weltering in blood, it is inspiring to recall how the two most progressive nations of South America settled their differences and averted terrible and destructive war.
 It will be twelve years next Monday since the Christ of the Andes was dedicated as the sign and symbol of lasting peace between Argentina and Chile The historian, who devotes so many of his pages to wars, has written all too little of this momentous triumph of peace.
 Tn 1900 a boundary dispute arose between Chile and Argentina. Both governments and peoples felt sure of the justice of their contentious. The press of the two countries breathed rnenced feverish preparations for the struggle which seemed imminent and certain. Vast sums were spent on military and naval preparations. The lofty peaks of the Andes, serving as a natural barrier between the two na- tions, seemed inadequate to prevent the Argentines and ChiIeans from fly ing at each others throats.
 The situation held all the elements of tragedy. In the heat of the moment the proud Chileans permitted them selves to forget those facts of their history which placed them under a debt of eternal gratitude to their nefghborS It was Jose San Martin, as pure a patriot as ever dreF the sword in a righteous cause-SanN Mar tin the Argentfne-who early in the nineteenth century led his brave and gallant four thousand through the lofty defile of the Nepa1lata Pass, 12,- 800 feet high, and drove the Spaniards from Chile. San Martins march over the Andes deserves greater niche in history than Hannibafs crossing of the Alps. The great Argentine leader, having triumphed over the enemy and conferred upon the ChiIeans the priceless boon of liberty, proudly re- fused the proffered dictatorship, and with his ragged army of heroes march on Peru, there to fly the flag of liberty over the ancient City of the Kings.
 And now, for few square miles of almost worthless land, the Chileans were preparing to make war on the land of their deliverer- For the mat ter of that, who shall blame them :? What nation has not been guilty of that blackest of sins, ingratitude? Did not the United States, before the ink on her declaration of independence was scarcely dry, threaten to join the enemies of France, who had made her independence possible? Republics are proverbia1ly ngratefuI-almost as much so as monarchies.
 If Argentina and Chile were ready to fight, other nations were not will ing to have them do so. The British ministers in Buenos Ayres and santi- ago used all their influence to avert

to the ultimate completion and suc- Cessfu1 operation of the canal in spite of the fact that at times they were somewhat troublesome. They have made necessary the excavation of about 30,000,0O0 cubic wards more than was included in the first esti- mates for Culebra cut, but they have not in the past and will not in the future endanger the ultimate success of the canal''
 MT. Macdonald calls attention to the fact that one is apt to forget that the greatest variation of atmosph eric pressure near sea level may be more than four million tons per square mile and that if the adjustment of at-' mos.5aeric pressure, in a very large cave or mine lags behind any quick increase in atmospheric pressure at the surface, 9 considerable strain may be added to the roof of such an 'exca- vation. Discussing the real cause of the slides, MT. Macdonald declares that in many cases the immediate cause was the oversteepness and height of the slopes, the blasting and othe work attributable only to man.
 He adds that the geologic conditions were not sufficiently considered in the first plans for digging Culebra cut.
 AS the strength of the famous Ga- tun dam has been brought into ques- ton on a number of occasions, MT. MacDonaId refers to it in some length. ''It was found that the Gatun rocks are relatively solid and compact and suitable for foundations for heavy structures However, some writers, even recently, have affirmed that the Gatun rocks would soften into mud when Gatun lake filled, and thus the locks and dam would sink their foun- dations and be damaged or destroyed. Opinions of this sort spring from a vivid imagination and not from facts.
 eff the weight of Gatun lake is go-l ing to force water into the Gatun for nation and cause it to soften into a seni-nnud that will allow the dam to sink, then all the islands in Gatun lake and all the hills around it. which are of the same formation, should also have their bases softened the same way, and sink into the depths. Reports that the Gatun dam and locks are inN any danger from sinking have not the slightest fot1n- dalton on geologic data.''

 ing deliveries, and consi gnees should
 cooperate so far as practicable by avoiding unnecessary storage and de-
 lays and the detention of rolling stock which should be kept moving as continuously as possible. There is no doubt a good deal of fault and or human regard for se1f-interest and disregard of the interests of others on both sides. That cannot be helped without a regeneration of human na- ture, but this is time when many lessons are taught of the importance of subordinating individual claims to the general weIl-being. This is con- spicuous1y illustrated in the present situation in the transportation ana shipping business. There are nation. al interests at stake as well as individ- IaI, local, industrial and commercial interests. There should be an honest endeavor to improve conditions by mutual concession and equitable CO., operation for the general benefit

PANAMA CANAL IS A WORK OF
 PERMANENCE, U. s. CEOL OCIST
 DECLARES AFTER LONG STUDY
Troublesome Slides Will Be Overcome Declares Donald F. Macdonald No Danger of Obliteration Through Earthquake Denies Fragility of Gatun Dam.

rsnSngton, March 14-Tha& the Pai1azna Canal will not be swallowed up by an earthquake and that the troublesome slides now being en- countered eventually will be conquer ed and the great waterway made an unqualified success, is the opinion of Donald F. Macdonald, formerly canal geologdst anw new mining geologtst for the United States Bureau of Mines
 MT. Macdonald, who spent several years on the Isthmus making care ful study as to fragi1ity of the earth's crust, has just made an official re- port to the effect that, while through seismic disturbances the whole 18th mus is rising at the rate of three feet every hundred years, this will not necessarily inJure the canal As far as he sees, it will merely mean a lit tie additional expense in the dredging of the big waterway. The cause of this rising he says. is the sinking of the ocean bottom outside the 18th milan shore waters. Every time there is a little movement of the ocean bot tom, the Isthmus, to be in harmc ny Joins in. He also suggests that if the rising motion be rapid, then there would be serious danger for the ca nal, but, that from what has happen ed in recent geologic time, it may be concluded that the canal is not in any appreciable danger from the in stability of the Isthmian land. The rising of the Isthmus. however, has been responsible for the many slides that have been encountered, in that the motion of the ground has dis1o- cated and crushed the rocks. leaving them weak and unstable.
 At any rate" says MT. MacDon- ald, ''so lar as the digging of the Cu- 1ebra Cut is concerned, these faults have increased the cost of the canal several million dollars.
 "As to the slides, Culebra Cut is a vast ditch that passes through many varieties of rock in the nine miles of its length. Some of these are weak and unstable. and where the slopes of the cut were steep and 100 to 300 feet high the weaker rocks are crush ed down to hatter slopes. Whenever the slope got flat enough, the sliding stopped. At no. time did the engin- eering. staff constructing the canal be- lieve that the slides were a menace

s'The roads have a. great deal of difncu1ty to contend with and are en- titled to fair consideration for not accomplishing the impossible, while have much cause for Irritation in their inability to get the service they feel themselves entitled to and for the loss they suffer in conse- quence,' says an editorial in The Journal of Commerce of New York. March 8, speaking of the unprece- dented freight congestion on all the railways of the country and the edito- rial adds:
 There is need of patience and mu- tual consideration in trying to solve the problem of relief, and of co-ope- ration in the effort to work it out to practical results. In this the Com mission may be of service in bring ing the conflicting parties together for a hearing of their complaints and for an exchange of practical suggestions. There is little to be gained by laying stress upon the inadequacy of the means of transportation and of ter minaI, warehouse and transfer facili- ties. The situation, as everybody knows, is not only exceptional, but ab- so1utely unprecedented The rail- road companies could not be expected sity could not be foreseen. Besides, thoy were greatly hampered in all their efforts to expand facilities on their lines and at terminals by the restriction put upon their earnings and the accumulation of surplus funds, which impaired their credit for raising new capital
 tsThe emergency having come and pressing upon them in a manner to absorb attention, it was not possible in any hurried manner to supply the de- hciencies. The means for supplying what was necessary were inadequate.

AMERICAN DIPLO-
 MATS IN FRANCE

William Graves Sharp. the Ameri- can ambassador to France, will be fifty-seven years old today, as he was born on March IA. 1859 at Mount Gilead, Ohio. He holds the degree of IL. B., from the University of Michigan. He began his career as a lawyer in E1yria, and in 1885 became prosecuting attorney of Lorain coun- ty. Later he engaged in the nanu- facture of charcoal, pig iron and chemicals, and thus gained the wealth which enables him to afford the lux ury of an ambassadorship. MT. Sharp was elected to Congress as a Dem ocrat in 1909, and was appointed ann bassador to France in 1914, succeed ing F'yron T.. Herrick, also of Ohio. As the representative of the great American republic in the capital of Europe's foremost republic at a time when the latter is engaged in a tsrug- gle for existence, MT. Sharp has had a difficult role to play, but to all ap- pearanees heb has given entire satis- faction. His predecessor, MT. Her rick, was very popular in France, and his passing was viewed with regret, but MT. Sharp's public utterances have been of such a character as to win for him much of the same approval.
 MT. Sharp is the last of an illustri- ous line of diplomats who have la bored for America in France. During the days of revolution Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Raine perform ed conspicuous services in Paris, and Thomas Jefferson also represented the United States in that capital. Gov crneur Morris, James Monroe, John Marshall, Joel Barlow, Lewis Cass, John BigeIow, John Hay, Levi F. Morton, White1aw Reid and many other distinguished men have served as American minister or ambassador to France.

the Latin American men of education have followed the example of their Partisan models in discarding the faith of their fathers and embracing atheism and agnosticism. Among the iliterate peons and the great majority of South American women the church is still supreme, and to these the Christ of the Andes is more potent for peace than the arbitration treaty signed and sealed by the freethinking statesmen.
 Irreligious as they may be, however, there is not af man in Argentina or Chile who is not thrilled by the thought of that noble monument standing alone and solitary amid the mountains in the land of perpetual snow-the great bronze Christ of the Andes.

THE BUSINESS OF
 NEW PEOPLE

One heason why the advertising game is such a leading factor in mod ern business is that population is so constantly changing.
 Years ago people used to settle down in one place and live there all their lives. Having grown up in a place, they knew all the merchants from way back. They had some idea as to who was enterprising and alert. and who was slow and indifferent. Advertising was useful then, but not so wholly necessary as now But many merchants are still trying to do business as if these conditions still ex- isted.
 Nowadays the population of most towns is very huctuating. If store is satisfied merely to keep it's old GUS toners, it finds that a certain propor- ton have moved elsewhere. Mean while a constant influx of new peo- pie come in It is common remark even in small places, that the town is full of new faces.
 When a family comes in, they i'm mediately want to know where to trade. They know nothing, of the his tory or reputation of the merchants. The first thing they do is to buy a are advertising. Usually they open up accounts with merchants whose ,nctices they have read.
 A man may have done business for a lifetime in his old location, all of it honorable trade. He may have given good value all these years, and have an established circle of patronage. The newcomer knows nothing of all this. Indeed he is a little suspicious of old established firms, knowing that sometimes they live too much on old reputation.
 Business relations made with new corners through advertising usually prove permanent. The man who ad- vertises realizes the necessity of ma king good promises he puts into print. He gets the cream of the new trade, and wins the friendship of new peo- pie, who to less cnterprising ner- chants are wholly strangers.
