To Make the Canal "Impregnable."

The committee on appropriations OF the
House of Representatives at Washington
has ordered the drafting of q bill to pro
vide for Notifications at the Panama
Canal of such character as will make
that great water way "impregnabie,
according TO news dispatch from Wash
ington. It's added that the committee be-
lieves the canal should "be given the best
of modern defenses," in accordance with
suggestions which resulted from MIR.
Harding's inspection of the canal dming
his recent visit there.
1t is very easy to talk about "impreg-
nable" defenses for the canal, but a vastly
different matter to provide for them, even
with the largest expenditure of money.
Impregnable means, among other things,
mot to be taken by assault unconquer-
able" but to place the canal in such a
position may not be possible. II the SOL
ence of war is TO continue the chief study
of nations, it may be set down as fact
that the measures of assault will at least
keep pace with the measures of defense
and vice versa, so that it would be a con-
tinuous task to make the canal "impreg-
nable."
But even If the Panama Canal may be
so protected as to make il impossible for q
hostile nation to take it by assault, there
is no possibility Of so guarding il that an
enemy could not inflict such injury upon II
as TO render it useless for the purposes
of navigation. A single airplnne, eludine
pursuit for a few minutes, might drop
enough bombs to destroy its locks or
otherwise put il out of commission, even

enterprise paid the death penalty for
their daring
