Rochambeau's Splendid i Sefvice^: A study of parallels serves to establish the fact, seemingly forgotten, that Rochambeau rendered no minor aid, but was the immediate instrument of Providence for the triumph of the sacred cause of freedom, just as Pershing and his army were the final weapons of Foeh to smite the oppressor, writes Margaret B. Downing in the Catholic World. From the military standpoint, then, there can he no controversy over the success with which the commander-in-chief of the French allied army executed the benevolent Intentions of his king, Rochambeau, however, too ofien figures in the American mind solely as a symbol .of the friendship of France, gained through painful, weary efforts of Franklin, Jefferson and other great fathers of the republic. It is full time that he should lie known for the splendid, virile, unusual traits of i character which his contemporaries ' have ever accorded him. He was ever an upright, religious man. He is a figure to fill the canvas, uo matter who takes Ifc-T?urli m-1 1 *? Q^SL~ Pa ttfo ofxOsiA** -^ca-co up the brush to puint him. Washington shows him as the honest colleague and dependable ally from the moment he sot foot on American soil. In his greeting to the commander of the Colonial forces, the French general wrote: "I send you a copy of my Instructions as well, for I feel that i If we are to co-operate usefully 1 inu* have no secrets from my general." In the late days of February. lTSd, when Washington, another Cinclnnatus, was busy with the cares of husbandry about Mount Vernon, and Itocbanibeau, honored by his king, also for the nonce rested on his sword, he wrote that immortal eulogy to his former associate which may be found graven on the statue of the French hero in Jackson square, Washington, "We have been contemporaries and friends in the cause of Liberty and we have lived together as brothers should, in harmonious friendship." There is one splendid saying handed down by the loyal Closen.

IMMENSE SAVING OF TIME AND EXPENSE Most Stupendous Physical Undertaking Ever Accomplished by Human Effort, and Untold Value in Multiplying the Commercial and Military Resources of the United States. "The interchange or some of the largest battleships in the American navy between the Atlantic and Pacific fleets through the Panama Canal shows that the big waterway is functioning along the linos laid down for it when the United States undertook the task of constructing a seaway between the two Americas," says a bulletin just issued from the Washington, D. C., headquarters of the National Geographic society. "When the work of building the canal was undertaken." the bulletin continues,' "no one dreamed what a tremendous amount of material would have to be nftoved to make it a usable waterway such as it is today. "At that time it was figured that the total excavations for the canal proper would he 101.000,000 cubic yards. But by reason of enlargements and slides the task continued to grow until approximately a quarter of a billion cubic yards of material had to be re moved. The rail distance from Union Station, Washington, D. C.. to the Pennsylvania Terminal, New York, is approximately 22S miles. Imagine instead of the roadbed a canal with vertical banks, 45 feet deep and 124 feet wide?deep and wide enough to accommodate the biggest ship that floats and connecting the Nation's metropolis with the country's capital?and you will have a picture of the amount of material that had to be removed to make the great Isthmian highway a complete project. Dirt Dug Would Make 100 Cheops. "Nor dbes this remarkable- comparison include either the excavations by the French in the canal nor those of the Americans for the auxiliary port works, coaling stations, etc. These were vast enough to widen the imaginary Washington-New York shipway to 154 feet. On the bottom of this ditch could be laid eleven standard American railway tracks. "One can get another picture of the immensity of the task by reflecting on the fact that the total spoils which had to be removed to unite the seas, divide the continents, and shorten the sen lines of the world at Panama wore ec|ii:il in volume to more than one hundred pyramids of the dimensions of Cheops, two such pyramids for every mile of the big waterway from deep water in the Atlantic to deep water in the Pacific. "The saving effected by .ships using the canal has more than justified the hopes of the government in undertaking its construction. In prewar days ; the cost of maintaining a freighter in commission was approximately ten cents per net registered ton per day. Thus, a 10.000-ton steamship cost for maintenance, about $1,000 day. Its average speed was about 250 knots a day. On the trip from New York to San Francisco there is a saving of thirtytwo days. With such a ship, this extra I distance would cost, on the basis of prewar prices $23,000. On the basis of present juices it would cost about $50,000. The vessel, by using the canal in prewar days, paying $1.20 per ne! registered ton, $12,000, saved its own v... 491 noft fin the basis of present day p^ccs. the saving I amouhts to nearly $ !(?,000. if. ns is now planned, the coastwise shipping using the canal is exempted from the payment of tolls, a 10,000-ton steamer will save S12.000 every time it passes through the canal, in tolls, and at | least S3S.000 in distance eliminated. Saves Many Thousands of Dollars. "While it looks rather high to think of a 1-3,753-ton ship like the Orga paying $1S,000 for an eight hour trip through the canal yet to choose that route between the east and west coasts of the United States over the Magel- j Ian route, would sa-ve upward of $52,000 on the trip. ' "Another interesting thing about J the toll rates at Panama, is the comparatively low rates at which cargo moves through the canal. A net reg- | istered ton in shipping practice is 100 J cubic feel of cargo space. Now. it happens that most cargo doesn't require so much room, and that for some] commodities three tons can pe put in each net register ton space. For in- j ,.ri(t,,n t!,kos much more room than nitrate. A cargo of the latter has moved through the canal for 37 cents a tun. while a cargo of lumber might cost a dollar a ten. The average rate for bulk cargoes around ?J7 cents a long ton. I "The rate of jl.'jn per. net register- ! od ton. or $12,000 for a 10,000 ton ship ! is no higher than viewed from the | standpoint of cost of operating the canal than when looked at from the angle of knot-money saved. Canal Costs $18,COO 000 a Year in Interest. "The present income from the canal is barely sufficient to pay the mere costs of otM*ra I Ion. with no allowance | whatever for depreciation or interest on the investment. As the canal cost $3t>7.U(io.<ii>o. and as the, government has to pay at least a per cent, for money borrowed today, it will be seen that interest charges alone would amount to $l.s.0(ttl.000 a year. "In other words, if I'nele Sam operated his canal on the basis that the railway companies operate their roads, he would have to make a rate of about $3.00 a net registered ton instead of $1.20., I "Willi Ihr tremendous decline in through study of the best authors. j At seventeen he conintfeneed writing and ! turned out eighteen stories, all re.leete<l | by the editors.
