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.
