Nature of Ground Through Which They Are Cut Makes the Most Thorough Watchfulness Imperative. In the European war canals are per haps of more importance than rail ., the Kiel canal to the Germans and the Suez canal to the Uritish gov ernment in Egypt It is not generally known what enormous difficulties hare to be faced in the endeavor to keep these canals clear. The Germans hare spent a gigantic sum on their Kiel canal, which carries their ships from the North sea to the Raltic Just before they made this war they had widened it at a cost o? fifteen millions. The United States has anxieties OTer the Culebra cut In the Panama, but not more so than the Germans over their waterway. For the ground through which the latter is cut is in most places nothing but peat rotten, black stuff which keeps on breaking up and falling back into the canal. Also the bottom continually "bumps up," thus lowering the depth of the passage. The craft that use the Kiel canal have to crawl along. They say that if a cruiser were to make a dash through at top speed It would take u year and several millions of money to remedy the damage done by her stern wave. Leave any canal alone for even a year, and it would no longer be fit for navigation. Within five years a small boat would be unable to pass through It Each canal has its own special trou bles. The canal of Panama has land slides. Many have taken place during Its construction, many more will have to be dealt with in coming years. Not long after opening the canal was com pletely closed to traffic because of an enormous landslide. The German-led Turks are said to be about to attack Egypt If their armies ever manage to cross the wa terless desert of Sinai they will find themselves on the far bank of the broad Suez canal, which will be pa trolled by British warships, mounting guns beside which the Turkish artil lery w ill be mere toys. But the Suez, like the Panama canaL could never afford passage for these great ships unless work went on con stantly to keep It clear. It Is esti mated that If the dredging work on the Suez were abandoned, within less than ten years the Turks or anyone else could cross it dry shod. On both sides of the canal stretch miles of dry desert, from which every wind that blows lifts the sand in edg ing spirals and carries It in great clouds. A single storm may drop a thousand tons of sand into one mile of the canaL Of late years a great quantity of trees have been planted along the banks in order to prevent the sand from drifting into the water; yet even so. great steam dredgers are always at work scooping from the bottom the blown-in sand, and dumping it along the hore. Another trouble of those In charge of the Suez canal is caused by fresh water rprings, which burst up In Its leep bed and pile the sand In ridges.

Then come the other muscular groups and then come the' vocal expressions of laughter, such as brays, cackles, sniggers, sim pers, giggle, snorts, grunts, fog-horn rumbles, yells, shrieks, guffaws, trills, chuckles, sniffles and all sorts of pe culiar bird notes and musical sounds. The regiment held inspection drill yesterday afternoon on the athletic field preparatory to the inspection to 'be held a week from Friday. Drill 'commenced at four o'clock in order to give time to complete the inspection before time for dismissal. Accordingly the cadets, arrayed in full uniform, and with guns and equip ment cleaned, assembled on schedule time before the Armory last night Roll call was taken and the cadets, headed by the band, marched out on to the athletic field. After a few battalion movements, the regiment was passed in review before the reviewing ofiEcers. After review the regiment was again formed into close formation, open ranks was given and the inspection proper com menced. The Commandant followed by the staff and captain of the company be ing inspected then made the inspec tion. The customary form was fol lowed, the inspectors marching before and behind each man and the men coming to inspection arms on being passed by the Commandant The in spection starts at the head of the column, following down each company in turn through the band at the rear. This inspection being but preliminary to the government inspection, numer ous stops were made to call attention to errors and improper uniform or equipment After the inspection proper was over the regiment was again passed in review, followed by regimental parade. Parade rest was given and the band marched up the field and back again. A list of promotions was read, after which the battalion was again called to attention and America was tilaved. The officers were then or dered "front and center," upon which all staff and field officers marched for ward to the reviewing officers. The Commandant gave them a talk on the handling of the regiment, on comple tion of which the regiment was dis missed. , This Is the first time the cadets have been accompanied by the band this year, for which reason Its liberal supply of music was doubly appreci ated In helping to pass the time dur ing the tedious inspection. This gave the regiment a working idea of the form of the inspection to be held next Friday under the govern ment inspector. The regiment Is fast molding into creditable form, as shown i Harvard recently. Capt E. W.
