TRENCHES BREAK
PANAMA CANAL RECORD
_____
WASHINGTON—While the gov
ernment of the United States is la
menting the delay that has been caus
ed by slides in the Panama Canal, of
ficials of the state department have
received through the French embassy
some startling statistics calculating
the amount of soil that has been mov
ed in the work of trench making.
There are about 500 miles of fir t
line trenches all the way from the
NortK.Sea to Switzerland. And there
are five or six lines of trenches on
each side. A total of ten lines or
trenches on the two sides would give
a length of about 5,000 miles ard this,
says the statistician, has involved a
task of excavation twice as great as
that of the Panama ('anal. And it all
has been done by hand labor and with
military shovels, while much of it has
been done under fir<* and by man who
have to work while lying on their
chests.—Ex.

a mystery. One small piece was
found in the alley of the* Valentine
building.
