"In the beginning," said C'apt. Inch, "I want to say that the Carmania did the very beat that the nould.

COMMENT ON EVENTS Yaare Afttr. to a prominent French en- the Panama Canal locks will be obsolete in twenty year*, and a water level canal -will be necessary. Under the clrcum.ta ness perhaps Mr. Bryan was well advised when he endeavored to per- aade Congress to paw hto Nicaragua bill by which the United Htatet waa to have the mle right to build a canal through Nicaragua wherever It ohose. In return for three million dollara. Borne other ooncens!one were to be made, but this was one of the most Important. Aa tie Unltad Htates haa built the Panama Canal it Is obvious that any other canal through from the Atlantic to the Pacific must be controlled by her or else the enormous erpendltnro on Panama might be deem- ed wasted. But In the n izt twenty years trade will Have increased to auch an ex- tent, according to the same authority, that the Panama Canal with its locks will he unable to handle it. In that case another canal through Nicaragua might hooome a necessity. Considering the tre- mendous pomibilltlca of tho western ooMts of North and South America, the millions of people they are able to sup- port, and the comparatively few which they maintain at present. It srrms quite likely that In dne coarse two canals will not be on* too many. To Icok ahea.1 twenty years In these modern davn tivkra some Imagination and daring. Host of ua are satisfied with trying to mak cer- tain of looking ahead a day or two. There is no knowing what may qapoen twenty years after to* canal is opened. If New York Is to become ths China of the United States, and all the west coast is to take the place of Europe, one wonders what nation will be In control of the canal. Vaouum-cUanlna tha Blood.
