She was one of the most charming

generations to gain fame as "a poetess.
In her own words, she was born far

that of an ordinary robust country

War Matters.

There isn't much war news this week
of exciting import.
Attacks and counter attacks have
been made at>Verdun, and Russia has
been landing large numbers of troops
to reinforce France.
The outlook for the war to termin-
ate, or drag, grows stronger day by
day The Kaiser, by this time is real
izing the size OF the job he undertook
the conquering of nations vastly out
made great fight. but the surprise
came in the fact revealed that other
nations could fight as well.
In the United States the voice of
the lingo is being blurred by the hum
of bees and the busy summer noises
of farm and city life.
In Mexico things are at a standstill.
pending a conference between Gen.
Scott and Obregon. as to whether the
chase after villa shall continue or not
on Mexican soil.
In the meantime both war and poll
tics have given away to the less san
culinary results of baseball and auto
mobiles. and the appearance OF the

more strongly into the business of the
war correspondents.

during its first fiscal year, which end
ed June 80, 1915. II did SO primarily
because there was no abnormal op-
Grating expense. Everything went
smoothly. There were no slides of
any account-none. at any rate, which
blocked the channel. It handled less
tonnage than ii might normally ex-
pect, because of the war and for no
other reason.
Yet during that first year the canal
showed a net earning of $22O,255. so.
This represented the excess tolls col
lected over the cost of operation and
maintenance, plus overhead charge.
Vessels Kept Out Seven Months.
During the next year which ended
June 30, 1916, the crash came. The
canal had only been running two
mOn'hs and a half of the second year
when tn. Gailard cut at Culebra be-
came totally blocked by big slide
north of Gold Hill. The slide came on
September is. Not a vessel made the
transit of the isthmus until April Is,
1916, n period of seven months.
During this time, of course, the
canal revenue ceased entirely. But
the Expenses went up tremendously
because of the necessity OF reopening
the waterway. When the year was
up, the canal handling ships for only
net loss of s4,599,9l9.73.
The engineers however. were not at
the end of their troubles when they
opened tn Gaillard cut afr seven
months of hard labor They had an
other slide to deal with very recently.
This was a renewal of old troubles at
Cucuracha. The channel was blocked
from August 80 to September Z of this
year. 1t was comparatively unim-
~la vat cd
hinder that the old Nemesis of the
canal has not yet been banished.
For the first two years Of operating
the canal the amount stands thus:
Expenses ........sl y, ,l22,SIS.24
Revenue ......... b,ib3,Zl4.ll
Loss ........... $4,369, 664.13
II must be borne in mind that the
expenses of operation. maintenance
and overhead charge do not include
interest on the canal bonds which
were sold to pay part of the cost or
construction.
First Year Shows Profit.
The canal, considering the dislo-
eating effect of the war upon COM
merce, did well in its first year. 1t
was not full year. at that, for II be-
gan August 10, 1914, when few
barges were passed through. and
ended June 80. 1918. During that
time total OF LOSS vessels were
passed through in both directions.
The total tolls collected amounted to
s4,343,3S389. The total cost OF op-
Grafton and overhead was 81 l23,-
12S.09. This left a nice little balance
of s22O,255.60, and n consequent feel
ing of optimism.
The following year might easily
have spelled disaster - any private
concern owning the canal. During
the idle seven months expenses went
sky high. There was an Increase In
the cost of operating and overhead
amounting to nearly 100000. while
there was a falling off in tolls of
about s2,0OO,O00. 1t cost n total of
s6,999,75O15 to run the canal during
its second year, while II earned but
s2,399,S3042. There was loss or
| 100000 in tonnage handled. The
net financial loss on the year was
s4,599,919.73, about twenty times as
much as the canal earned In its first
year Thus to date the big waterway
is distinctly to the bad, from a fl
nancial standpoint.
