Panama Canal Vulnerable by Big Guns

defense OF the Pacific end of the canal
are located to the east Of its Pacific
entrance, bearing in mind that the
canal is about north and south at that
point, and that ship coming out of
the canal into the Pacific Is steaming &
almost due south.
Taboga island is eight miles distant,
north of the canal entrance. 1t Is 600
feet above water level, and affords a
splendid protection for an enemy fleet.
Worse than that, 1t shelters space
of water from which the Mirafiores
locks are in easy range.
During the recent maneuvers the
"enemy" fleet came up behind this
island, and it was discovered that no
adequate method of attacking that
fleet was available, If one assumed
that the attacking fleet carried enough
fighting airplanes to beat off those of
the defense. There are no American
fighting airplanes in the canal zone,
and only a small number Is expected
until congress undergoes a change of
heart.
For three years the army has been
begging congress to develop these
forts. 1t is desired to have two 16-
inch guns on Perico island, four more
on Taboga island and four at the
Atlantic entrance Of the canal, two
on each flank, a total Of ten.

has been in operation since 1917. II
includes also advances Of the War

Two ships of the Japanese navy and
two Of the British navy have 16inch
guns Of such elevation that they can
deliver their charges at range Of
10000 yards. At this range they
could ignore the fortiflcatlons at the

There is much advertised 16-inch

Of the big fortification of Flamenco
island. If this were a modern 16-inch
rifle, which had not been worn out by
repeated target practice, its shells
could be dropped behind Taboga
island. But actually this gun, which
was the subject Of so many Sunday
newspaper stories some years ago, Is
so decrepit at the present moment

Ancient Witticism,

dictum of very crusty old bachelor I:
1.-The reason men are apt to be bald
while women do not usually raise a
beard Is the same in each case-hair
does not as a rule grow plentifully
where there is the greatest activity.
But this is very ancient-I dare say
could be found in one of the classical
Greek comedies. In fact, the situa-
tions which lead to witticisms are
quite alike through the ages, and l
