I FRANCE AND THE
PANAMA CANAL
' New York, Jan. 12 Claude Casl-mir-Perier,
son of a former president
;'of France, who has been In this coun
Ji.lry for three months, will leave New
f York in a few days to visit the prin
cipal ports of the United States. He
,t has been commissioned to make In-
vestigatlons to determine what ef
1 feet the opening of the Panama ca
Lj nal will produce In regard to the
i i trade of France.
j i AI. Caslmir Perier will visit Galvos-
ton, New Orleans Mobllo, San Diego,
I San Pedro, San Francisco, Tacomn,
j Portland, Seattle, Vancouver, pie ca-
nal zone and the West Indies.
i "Whether Franco can operate
Of through tho canal will depend, of
4. course, n the canal lolls and the cost
rocoal," he said,
n "If there is a canal charge, of say
I $1 a ton, I believe that a good share
Aof the foreign trade will be driven
away. I think it is of the utmost Im
Iportance that this question of tolls be
,F settled at once. The opening' of the
!, canal means u development of trade
t and the steamship lines cannqt bhild
vessels to meet this condition until
they know the canal charges and so
Ji can figure on tho cost of operation."

As soon as tho Italian warships en- 11
countered the Turkish gunboats, a i1 t I
short distance out of the Bay of Ku- , Jm
nalda, they sent shots across their -fll
bows and called on them to surren- 111
lender The Turkish vesels gave no JM
sign of compliance and tho Ita!lau3 -J ffl
immediately opened a terrific fire, jgffl
throwing In a hail of sheila from their llfm
broadsides. ' 7

and did not strike the Italian ves- " j II
