Washington, Dec. 10.—An unassuming
wihte-haired man stepped into the of-
fice of the chief of staff of the United
States army a few days ago. With less
formality than accompanies the assign-
ment of a policeman to a new beat.

Brig.-Gen. Hugh Li. Scott assumed the
most important military position of the
nation.
It is a fitting testimonial to a life-
time of hard work. Sine Gen. Scott was
graduated from West Point in 1879 he
has been one of the busiest military
men in the nation.
He entered . the cavalry. In those
days a mounted soldier spent four-
fifths of his time in frontier service.
Scott was an exception. He spent an
his time there.
He campaigned avrainst the Blackfeet,
the Sioux and several other tribes of
the northwest. He fought them so well
that the Indians began to admire him.
He turned that admiration into a deep-
er regard, and perhaps more than any
one man, Gen. Scott brought about
tranquil conditions on the Indian fron-

Amsterdam, Dec. 10.—No better illus-
tration can be given of the far-sight-
edness and thoroughness of the Ger-
man military machine than the elab-
orate rebuilding operations in course
of completion at Liege. In the com-
paratively short time since its forts
were wrecked by the invaders’ artil-
lery, Liege has been rebuilt into a mod-
el German fortress, and is to be used
as an object lesson for students in the
German military schools. It is built
as though the Germans expect to stay.'
All the Belgian forts have been re-
paired, with a single exception; much
of the old artillery has been replaced
with Krupp fortress cannon of the lat-
est type, and even the landscape has
been remodelled with a view to de-
fense. All the newest ideas of Ger-
man and Austrian military experts
have been embodied in the placing of
ordnance, in the erection of ramparts,
in trenches, observation places, high-
way mines, secondary batteries, and
block houses.
There is an intricate system of con-

London, Dec. 9.—Major Gen. Desmond
O’Callaghan, of the royal artillery, has
been investigating a number of alarm-
ist reports which have had wide cir-
culation in England, to the effect that
German ordnance agents have for
years past been preparing for the Ger-
man invasion of England by secretly
placing in factory foundations, tennis
courts, and residences, deep concrete
foundations, suitable for use with the
heaviest German siege artillery. These
concrete foundations, according to ru-
mor, were always discovered in posi-
tions “commanding” London, or Edin-
burgh, or Dublin. “All bosh,” says Gen.
O’Callaghan, who is inclined to be a
trifle annoyed at having to waste his
time on “such nonsense.” His report to
the public says in part:
“I have had the pleasure for the past
few weeks of assisting Scotland Yard
in the inspection of concrete platforms,
and appraising their danger from a
military point of view. Since the dis-
covery of an alleged gun-platform at
Willesden, reports of similar prepara-
tions for the bombardment of London
have been received from all quarters.
To sum up my investigations, there is
no reason to suppose that the floors or
roofs of any factories, or tennis courts,
constitute in any way a danger to the
public.
“Lawn tennis grounds in all direc-
tions have been reported and their tre-
mendous solidity vouched for by ner-
vous communities, but all turn out on-
examination to be of usual type, six
inches and not six feet thick.
“It would be a waste of energy and
ammunition for the enemy to bring
over to England howitzers of the
weight and unwieldiness of his 42 cen-
timeter howitzers, which are the only
ones requiring a concrete platform.
Any of the smaller and more portable
howitzers, which are fired off their
wheels, would very much better serve
his purposes.”
One of the factories reported to the
police as suspiciously well-constructed,
is owned by an American firm. Gen.
O’Callaghan mentions it as an example
It was reported by nervous neighbors
as “an alien company with a German
manager, employing exclusively Ger-
man workmen; has concrete floor six
feet thick; roof is flat resting on con-
crete arches nearly four feet thick; oc-
cupies commanding position; could be
made into powerful fort.” Says Gen.
O’Callaghan in his report:
“In company with an inspector I vis-
ited the factory. I was received by a
pleasant-spoken American. He showed
me a list of share-holders. There were
Wood retired as chief of staff, then
went to Washington as asistant to Gen.
Wotherspoon. Upon the latter’s re-
tirement he became chief.
When Col. Roosevelt was president
he wanted to promote Scott, then a
major, to be brigadier general, a rank
he attained only under President Wil-
son. The appointment was blocked in
the senate, which occasioned Col.
Roosevelt’s remark that it appeared
that “army officers could only win pro-
motion by senility.”

ern end of the canal. They are
equipped with every appliance for rap-
id work. The bulk of the freight
traffic to be handled on the new wa-
terway will be grain, though there will
be enormous quantities of coal and
other bulk freight destined for upper'
lake ports. According to the liberal
Canadian regulations, the canal will be
free to all vessels using it. It will
be of great benefit to the United States
as well as to the Dominion of Canada.

“thought Indian.” A half dozen
main points of the outlying defenses.
Great attention has been paid to the
use of villages and forests for con-
cealing fortifications. The trenches
are flat with the ground so as to be
visible only from above, and are pro-
tected with concealed barbwire entan-
glements. The trenches are drained
and partially covered for protection
against rain and snow, while the width
is ample enough to allow carriage of
stores and ammunition without inter-
fering with the troops.
A considerable part of the hard la-
bor involved in completing the trench-
es is done with a “military traction
trench digger,” which cuts a furrow
about three feet wide and three feet
deep.
Most of the old Belgian forts have
been entirely remodelled, some have
been raised, some lowered, with a view
to greater efficiency of shell fire or
to increasing the sweep of country
which their guns can command. There
are several batteries cleverly con-
structed to attract aeroplane or cav-
alry attack.
The town is dull and quiet. All
shops and cafes are required to close
at 8 o’clock in the evening. Newspap-
ers are at a heavy premium.

“Then I will come some day and
bring the chief priest, the prime min-
ister and all the cabinet,”, the sultan
replied. He fulfilled his promise, ar-
riving in New York only a few months
after Col. Scott, who is known in Sulu
as “Father of all the Moros.”
If anyone doubts the versatility or
Gen. Scott, the wide range of his as-
signments ought to prove it. From
the governorship of the piratical, half-'
savage Moros he took up the chancel-
lorship of a technical university—West
Point. He was there a few years gov-
erning the college and figuring niuch
in society. His next station was col-
onel of the Third cavalry on the Mexi-
can border, when it looked certain that
Uncle Sam was heading for war.

tribes adopted him. Hugh L. Scott dis-
appeared, to the Indian mind. and
“Mole Tequop," which means “He talks
with his hands,” took his place. The
young cavalry captain was more pro-
ficient in sign talk than Indians them- |
selves. His monographs on that phase
of Indian life, and also on many eth-
er phases, are the highest authority
known.
Scott was a major when the Span-
ish-American war began. He went to
Cuba, becoming at the close of the war
adjutant to Maj. Gen. Wood, military
governor of Cuba.
Col. Scott left Cuba to command the
most trying post in the army at that
time, the governorship of Sulu. His
success there ranks him as one of the
greatest of colonial governors. It is
said that when he was ordered from

The Welland Canal, the history of
which dates back to the early years
of the 19th century, is one of the old-
est and most important of the artificial
waterways of Canada. It has been of
great service as a channel of communi-
cation between Lakes Erie and On-
tario and in the regulation of railway
freight rates. It is located west of the
Niagara river in Ontario, and follows
a line from the village of Port Col-
borne, on Lake Erie, to Port Dalhousie,
on Lake Ontario, a distance of 25 miles.
This old canal has 25 locks, each 270
feet in length, with 14 feet of water
on the sills, and at the time of its
completion was capable of carrying the
largest vessels then doing business on
the Great Lakes. Few of the regular
freight boats of today can use it, and
for this reason the Canadian govern-
ment recently constructed at Port Col-
borne a grain elevator of 2,000,000
bushels capacity to transship grain
from the larger to the smaller vessels.
When the new canal is in operation
this economic waste in transshipment
will be obviated, and cargoes of grain i
and other heavy freight will be able I
to pass from the extreme limits of the
Great Lakes either way.
DETAILS OF CONSTRUCTION.
The new Welland Ship Canal, on
which construction is now under way,
will have a length of 25 miles. Ac-
cording to the Monetary Times, of To-
ronto, its width at the bottom will be
200 feet and at the water line 310 feet,
the depth on the sills being 30 feet.
There will be seven locks, each 800
feet in length. Each will have a lift of
46% feet, making a total lift of 325%
feet. By way of comparison it may be
noted that the length of the Canadian
lock at the Sault Ste. Marie Canal is
800 feet and of the American lock 900
feet.
On the Panama and Sault Ste. Marie
canals the lock gates miter, but on the
new Welland Canal the gates will be
of the single-leaf pattern, only one
gate being required at each end of the
lock. The lower gates will be 85 feet
high, 90 feet long, and 10 feet thick.
These gates will be of structural steel,
and the thickness of 10 feet will pro-
vide a driveway for automobiles and
other vehicles, as well as room for per-
sons on foot. Each of these gates will
weigh 1100 tons. The Panama Canal
gates weigh 750 tons each. The Wel-
land Canal gates will not stand square-
ly across the channel, but will slant
into the opposite wall, the length of
the gate being 3 feet more than the
width of the canal. The submerged
portion of the gate will serve as a !
floating chamber and will relieve the '
