LITTLE DANGER FROM U-BOATS
Real Peril In That One or Two Men
Put Ashore From Submarine Might
Make Way Overland and
Dynamite Lock Gate.
By EDWARD D. CLARK.
(WushliiKton Correspondent of tlio West
ern iNGwniuiur uinun.
Washington. -Anxiety ,ls evident In
places where anxiety means concern
over tho futo of the Panama canal In
war time.
It Is believed Implicitly that If hos
tilities open tho German sea power
will strlko nt tho l'auama canal. Now
It might bo snld that the German
navy Is In no condition to do damage
to tho great waterway. The danger
perhaps Is not great, but there Is n
dnnger nevertheless, and It will put
tho United States forces on tho Isth
mus to their keenest endeavor to hold
tho locks sufe.
Under tho present conditions Ger
many can send nothing more formida
ble than big submarines to tho waters
nbout Pannmu. There probably Is no
danger at nil that these submarines
can enter tho canal and torpedo tho
first lock nt Gutun.
The peril therefore Is not so much
from a direct attack by a submarine
as It Is that one man or two men put
ashore from a U-boat might make
their way overland unseen md dynn
inlto a lock gate.
Tho thing for Germany to do, of
course, from a strategic point of view,
Is to close tho Panama cunnl. Through
It dally pass vessels from tho west
const of America laden with supplies,
mainly food, for tho allied nations of
Europe. If the canal could bo closed
Germany would bo greatly tho gainer.
Now It Is possible that an under-
tho-Bcn boat might submerge some-
whero outsldo of Toro Point break
water and mako Its way Into tho
canal, passing below tho surface and
of course unseen by tho forts. It is
not known definitely to laymen, bow
over, whether tho water Is deep
enough for a submiuino to make this
trip with devastation ns Its end.
Can Easily Bo Protected.
If tho way Is deep enough oft the
entrance to tho canal to permit
submarine to dlvo and to mako Its
way Into tho canal channel, tho
chances nro that the precautions
takon by tho canal guards would pre
vent tho boat from traversing tho wu
tcrway which Is not wide and which
easily can bo protected by nets.
A submarine cannot do damage with
Its under-the-water torpedoes unless
It is fairly close to tho object to be
attacked. This, of course, prevents
any U-boat from sending a torpedo
against a lock gate. As a matter of
fact, the tlrst lock gate at Panama on
tho Atlantic side Is eight miles from
tho const.
When a submiuino comes to tho sur
face It enn use Its small guns for ns
snlllng purposes, but If It should come
to tho surface at the entrance to tho
canal proper It would bo too far away
from tho locks to do any damage with
Its small guns, nnd moreover, tho inln
ute It appeared It would bo sunk by
tho guns which guard tho approaches
to the canal.
For tho present at least the only
danger of attack on the Panama canal
Is from tho Atlantic side. The lock at
Mlrallorcs near the Pacific end of the
canal Is only about a mile distant
from tho coast. The Pacific end of
things, however, Is today a matter of
small concern to the waterways de
fenders, although, of course, no moans
of possible attaciris being overlooked.
Recently roads have been built ouj
through tho Jungle from tiro waterway
to different points near tho const. It
Is the Intention eventually, and lu part
tho work already 1ms been done, to
mount batteries to defend thoso ave
nues of approach. There was a long
discussion at the beginning of things
as to whether or not tho Junglo should
not bo allowed to grow up and tluui
form nn Impediment to n foo who bad
landed a force somewhere on tho const
with n vlow to nn overland attack on
tho canal.
Real Danger to Canal.
Tho jungle hnj been cut away In
largo part, for tho first thought con
cerning tt as n means of defense wns
given over. In fact urmy olllcors Bay
It would afford tho best kind of a cover
for nn approaching enemy. Tho dan
ger to tho cunut, as dangers look nt
present, does not come from the pos
tJ-Ullty of an iittack by a largo armed
Panama Canal
forco of land troops, nor from a di
rect attack by a submarine. Tho dnn
ger Is that some under-the-sea boat
might land ono or two men or possibly
half n dozen men nt some point not far
from the wntcrwny and trust to them
to make their way to the locks there
to plant their dynamite, to detonate It
and to render tho canal useless for
months as n commerce way.
The fortlflcntlons defending the
canal approaches on both sides of the
Isthmus nro twentieth-century de
fenses. Tho gray nnd green forts of
Toro Point and Mnrgucrltu Island on
tho Atlantic side, nnd on the Islands of
Nnos, Flamenco, I'erlco nnd Culebra
on tho Pnclflc sldo It Is believed will
servo ns all sufficient bulwnrks against
n direct sen attack If the United Stntes
navy should be overcomo nnd enemy
ships should move In to tho assault.
There Is a brigade of troops under
the command of Utig. Gen. Clarence R.
Edwards on the Isthmus today. There
are enough men there to man the ar
tillery, both heavy nnd light, nnd the
forco seemingly Is sufficient to guard
ugalnst milling purtros bent on de
stroying tho locks. Of course lu case
of an nttcmpt by a few men "to crawl
Into tho attack" tho thing resolves It
self Into ono of cxtrcmo'watchfulncss.
It Is known that u heavy cordon of
gunrds has been thrown around vul
nerable places along the Isthmus right
of way.

Now York. Prof. Michael I. Pupln
of Columbia university has Just de
vised and will soon nnnounco a perfect
method of eliminating static Interfer
ence with wireless transmission. This
Interference has been the great draw
back to wireless telegraphy since that
means of communication was in
vented.
Tho now Invention, If It accomplishes
perfectly Its object, will ba listed as
ono of tho most Important electro,
physical discoveries over made. Un
der present conditions It Is often Im
possible to get wireless messages
through for days becauso of atmospher

and at all times of the year
during portions of tho day trans
mission Is Impossible. Professor I'll
pin's Invention, however, Is Intended to
make It possible to use the wireless for
IH hours u day every day In the year.
The Importance of the Invention In
time of war ts Inciilculable.
Came ao an Immigrant.
Tho Invention became known recent
ly when Columbia university nluinnl
gave a testimonial dinner to Professor
Pupln at Dolmonico's. Although the
dinner was arranged primarily for en-
glneeiing graduates, all nluinnl of all
schools wore asked to honor the man
who, as nn Immigrant boy, landed nt
Castle Garden In the fall of 1S74.
Professor Pupln thus singled out by
Columbia to be honored as Its fore
most contributor to science and en
gineering, bus u unbiue place lu Co
lumbia's history. Dr. Cary T. Hutch
inson, In tho Columbia Alumni News,
sketches his life.
Whon the boy landed at the Bat
tery he, wealing a rod for., started up
Hroailway. Nowsboys began to poke
fun at him; there was a tight, which
tho Immigrant won. Ho went back to
the Mattery and was taken as a labor
er to Maryland; there he drove a mule
team. He worked his way hack to New
York, usually serving as u hired man
on farms.
In New York Vr.pln, tho youth, got

reading tho newspapers assiduously.
He attended night school at Cooper
Union, saving hlu money, and by 1870
he had ?!J11 hoarded. Ho took an ex

POINTS OF IDEAL DAIRY COW
Excellent Hints Given Which May
Help Farmer In Selecting Ani
mal for His Herd.
In selecting cows for dairy herds
there nro several essential points to
consider.
The cow should have great stomnch
capacity; avoid u round bodied cow
whose ribs are short, and n llat-ribbed
cow. There should be ample room for
the udder, which should extend well
forward and not hang down. The
Ideal Dairy Cow.
The dairy cow should be deep and
wide from 1 to 2 as this gives her large
capacity for rough feed. The back
from 1 to 4 should be sharp, with little
flesh, when she to In good condition.
She should be well cut up behind so
that the udder can extend well up, as
at 3. Her flank should be well arched,
as at 5, to provide room for a large
udder.
milk veins should be large nnd the
farther they go the better. The udder
3hould be looso and pliable, when
jmpty not Ueshy.
The eyes should be large nnd bright
and project well out from the face.
This Is n strong Indication of tho
nerve forco needed for strong diges
tion nnd large milk secretion.
LACK OF SHELTER FOR COWS
Exposure to Cold Rains Causes Big
Drop In Milk Production Clean
liness Is Important.
,By C. H. ECKLK9. Missouri College ol
Agriculture, j
The dairy cow often suffers tho most
from exposure to the weather before
real winter has begun. After steady
sold comes the cow Is generally
3tabled. Exposure to cold rains is
often more Injurious to tho animal
than the colder but dry weather in
winter.
The dnhy cow Is not like the fat
Jteer, protected from cold by a layer
of fat. As a result, bad weather
causes a big drop In milk production.
So long ns the weather Is dry It Is just
is well to leave the cow outside nights,
out every cold rnln should find her
protected.
It Is not necessary In the cllmntc of
Missouri to go to any great expense
on most farms In order tbnt the barn
moy bo warm. The main thing Is to
"lave tight walls so there is no draft
ir wind, and a good roof. Care should
be taken In arranging the stalls In
the form of n platform of tho right
length and n gutter of sufficient depth
o hold the mnnure. The clennllness
if the milk depends to n considerable
xtent upon having tho barn built so
lie cow will keep herself clean.
ROUBLE WITH CALF SCOURS
I Overfeeding, Sour Milk Palls and Ir
regularity In Feeding are Usu
ally the Causes.
Probably the greatest difficulty with
vhlch the cnlf feeder has to contend Is
scours. Overfeeding, sour milk palls,
cold water and Irregulnrlty In feeding
ore usually the causes, says n writer
In Field. As soon ns signs of scours
ore noticed It Is recommended that the
milk bo reduced to one-half, and that
a teaspoonful of dried blood be added
to tho milk fed. No dried blood that
has not been thoroughly sterilized
should be used. In severe cases of
spoiirs. the nildltlon of ono or two eggs
with the dried blood has been found to
bo very effective. In severe cases, It
is recommended that tho calf be given
ono or two ounces of castor oil In the
morning which is followed In nbout 12
hours by IB drops of laudanum and u
tfospoonful of dried blood.
CLEANLINESS IN DAIRY BARN
wo Hours Should Elapse After Feed
2iq, Bedding or Brushing Before
Milking Is Begun.
deeding, bedding or brushing up
Fjould never tnko place within two
hours before milking. Tho dust rnlsed
by these operations takes a long tlmo
to settle, nnd If theso operations are
conducted shortly before milking, a
very considerable quantity will of ne
cessity find Its way Into tho milk cans
und palls.
For this reason, nlso, uncovered cans
and palls, with or without milk In
them, should never bo left standing In
tho barn, but should bo removed to tho
mjlkhouso whero tho air Is clean.
