PANAMA CANAL IN NO DANGER
Geologist Asserts the Slides Soon
Will Be Conquered.

Washington. - The Panama canal
will not be swallowed up by an earth
quake in the future and the trouble
some slides now being encountered will
eventually be conquered, is the opinion
of Donald F. Macdonald, former canal
geologist and now connected with the
federal bureau of mines. The results
of his studies on the isthmus are en-
bodied in an official report to the bu-
reau, made public recently
While through seismic disturbances
the earth's crust on the whole isthmus
is rising at the rate of three feet every
hundred years this will only mean
little additional expense in dredging
the big waterway, Mr.. Macdonald says
The cause of this rising he declares,
is the sinking of the ocean bottom out
side the isthmian shore waters.
Discussing the slides Mr.. Macdonald
states that in many cases the immedi-
ate cause was the over-steepness and
height of the slopes, the blasting and
other work attributable only to man.

GIVE VILLA TO CARRANZA
That is What Former President Taft
Would Do.

Glen Falls. N. Y-"If l had my way
l would not try to bring Villa under
the protection of the United States, but
/ would turn him over to Carranza,
who would know how to deal with
him." declared former President Taft
at the first annual dinner of the Glens
Falls Chamber of Commerce, Saturday
Mr.. Taft declared that the present pol
icy of the United States was RESPONSE
Bile for the Mexican situation, and as
serted he was heartily in favor of Will
sons present program to "get Villa"
He stated that if the United States
could capture Villa and draw his
fangs out" it would remove the chief
cause of the Mexican difficulties and
assure peace in that country. Mr.. Taft
closed his talk with a plea for pre-
paredness, and urged the building of
a large navy
