The rack of war la hers the untold agony
Of seeing woe her hands cannot relieve.
For her, the strain of watching ihote

For some dear voice to soothe their mis

and cling
Like very vultures, she must still smile on.
By her a hundred victories must be won
Health, strength restored through her

That these, her patieuts, may go forth
once more
To brave the fury that the cannons pour.
Should one weak fear against her heart

FRENCH CANAL OPENED
UNDER A MOUNTAIN
Waterway From Marseilles to River
Rhone at Last Complete.
The canal under the mountain be
tween Marseilles, France, and the
river Ithone, constituting one of the
most notable engineering achievements
of modem times, was officially opened
the other day lu Uie presence of a dis
tinguished gathering of members of the
cabinet and other officials.
Hitherto Marseilles, although a great
port of entry for the Mediterranean,
has been walled in from central France
by a mountainous ridge that sweeps
around the northern side of the city.
The canal is chiefly remarkable In that
it pierces this barrier, the waterway
running for five miles in a tunnel un
der a mountain. It thus has the effect
of linking Marseilles with inland cities
such as Lyons, Avignon and Valence
and putting it in touch with the extensive-
inland commerce along the
river Rhone. It will also give Mar
seilles a direct water connection with
Havre and the North sea.
The canal and its tunnel have been
under discussion for nearly a hundred
years, but actual work on them was
not begun until 1904. The length of
the canal is sixty miles, and the five
mile section under the mountain is
seventy-flve feet wide and seventy feet
high, constituting what is declared to
be the largest tunnel Interior In the
world. Barges and vessels up to COO
tons can navigate the canal, which,
like the Kiel canal, it Is believed, will
have strategic value In permitting the
movement of destroyers and small
warcraft between the Mediterranean
and the North sea. The cost of the
work has been about 100,000,000 francs
AEROS GET RADIO SIGNALS.
New Device Enables Aviators to Get
Instructions While In Air.
Guglielmo Marconi has just arrived
in London from Italy with news of im
portant and farreaching wireless de
velopments. He says:
"The new developments make it dif
ficult for the enemy to intercept or tap
messages. The improvements also aj
ply to instruments on aeroplanes and
airships.
"Hitherto aeroplanes have been at a
disadvantage, because white able to
transmit messages, they have been un
able to receive, owing to the noise of
the engine drowning out the wireless
signals. Now we are able to strengthen
the receiving signals sufficiently to en
able messages to be taken."

Fresldent Wilson is said to be nego

West Indies. The pri'-e tentatively
agreed upon is $5,000 ,.m.m .
A treaty between Denmark and the
United States providing for the trans
fer of the three little islands in the
Antilles has been drafted by Srcretary
t-f fc?tate Lansing and Constantin IJrun.
the Danish minister here.
Kxtraordinary measures have been
adopted to guarantee consummation of
the ileal, which twl e before has been
frustrated by the opposition of th Ier-1
man government to acquisition of the
islands by the United States. The plan
is to put through the scheme at once
while (Jerinany is too busy lighting the
allies to interfere. i
The utmost secrecy regarding the
negotiations is being observed, and it is
intended to seek simultaneous rati liga
tion of the treaty by the American
senate and the Danish parliament at a
single sitting. j
If the cession of the islands be ef
fected President Wilson will have bro
ken all records in the last lit'ty years
for the peaceful extension of American
dominion and influence. lie already

Haiti and acquired a powerful influ

the interoceanic canal right of way. ,
Strategic Importance.
The Danish West Indies consist of
the three small islands of St. Croix, St.
Thomas and St. John, aggregating l."s
square miles and possessing a popula
tion of "T.OSti persons, mainly free ne
groes engaged in the cultivation of
sugar cane. 1 he islands, however, are
of strategic importance, particularly in
relation to the Panama canal.
Acquisition of the islands by an
overseas power would be regarded by!
the United State? as a violation of the
Monroe doctrine. This menace will be
removed bv cession of the islands to
the United States.
Seward negotiated the purchase of
the Islands in 1S07 for $7.."MVu n i, but

senate. (Germany once sought to buy

MOUNTAIN TOP BLOWN UP.
Younger Garibaldi Devised Exploit.
Tunnel Dug Underneath.
According to the Milan correspond
ent of the Iondon Chronicle, it was the
younger (laribaldi, now serving as an
officer In the Alpini, who originated
the idea of capturing the summit of
Col di Lana. the lofty mountain bar
ring the Italian advance into the Cor
devole valley in the Dolomites, by tun
neling under it and blowing the whole
top off the mountain, an enterprise
which the Italian troops recently ac
complished. The task began on Christmas day,
the dispatch says, of boring a gallery
2o0 feet long through solid rook. The
tunnel was made large enough for two
men to rush up it abreast to the as
sault after the explosion, and the mlno
charge consisted of ten tons of blast
ing gelatin and dynamite, while the
shaft was closed with a massive shield
of steel armor plate to protect the
shaft and also permit it to be promptly
opened for a charge after the explosion.
The mine was set off at 11:00 the oth
er night and more than 200 Austrians
killed in the explosion, while the posi
tion was swiftly rushed by the Italians.
