Construction of the canal proper, except for dredging excavations construction of the east breakwater at Colon, virtually was completed prior to this fiscal year.

On the west side at Culebra the slide showed little activity through the greater part of the year, but in June, 1915, the general movement of the bank was noticeable, and it was estimated that 5,000,000 cubic yards of material were in motion on June 30, 1915, on the west side. It is estimated that about 4,000,000 cubic yards will have to be removed from the east side." How Money Was Spent.

LENIENCY FOR ALIENS Immigration Bureau Impelled by War to Suspend Rules. MANY HERE WITHOUT RIGHT Commissioner General Caminetti Explains in Annual Report Situation Which Necessitates Landing of Immigrants Who Must Ultimately Be Deported- -Smuggling In Chinese, Unprecedented problems with which the Federal bureau of immigration has had to deal as the result of the war in Europe are pictured in the annual report of Commissioner General; Anthony Caminetti, made public yesterday by the Secretary of Labor. Particular. attention is directed to dimculties encountered in enforcing the deportation of undesirable aliens because of the prospect in many cases. of placing them in extreme hazard either on the high seas or after being landed in a foreign port.

Although in the main the policy of protecting aliens proved to be correct and was success. ful, the commissioner general says, one of its results has been to. leave in the United States at the close of the year 1,828 foreigners with no. right to be here and destined ultimately. to de- portation.

Forced to Modify All "It would be impossible," the report continues, "adequately to describe the problems which have confronted the bureau as the result of the unique, situation produced the existence of the European conflict. There has hardly been a phase of the enforcement of the regulations which it has not been necessary to modify, suspend or remodel in its applications. Such propositions as the control of land boundaries, particularly the Canadian border (Canada involved in the war); the handling of alien seamen, especially those employed on vessels of belligerent nations interned in United States ports, and the handling of. aliens of an extremely undesirable type impelled to come to the United States from. belligerent countries because of the very situation arising from the status of their native land, are but a few of the larger problems with which the bureau has been confronted.

Successfully to meet this situation has been no easy. task." Excluding the Undesirables. Urging the necessity for excluding altens on economic grounds, the report tells of the rejection of many Hindu and East Indian laborers who attempted to land at- Pacific ports on the ground that they were likely to become public charges. It refers, too, to-a case pending in the Supreme Court innow volving the right of our government to exclude certain Russians on the ground that they were bound for a 10- cality in the East where it was known that there vas not sufficient demand for laborers to a justify the belief that they would be able to maintain themselves. Expressing the hope that the court will sustain the administrative officers, the report declares that if the officers are not vested with discretion to exclude aliens under such circumstances "the law is not as comprehengive as it should be and much less potent to protect the people of this try than the bureau had always supposed it to be." The commissioner calls attention to various schemes resorted to in smuggling Chinese and other immigrants from the East into the country, and suggests that if there is any doubt about the letter of the law relating to persons admitted as natives, sons of natives, proper amendments should be enacted.

-An appropriation is asked to provide automobiles for patrol. work along the Canadian border, a. decision of the comptroller of the currency having obliged the bureau discontinue the expenditure of money for this pur- pose. Employment Bureau Work. Plans for further development of the bureau's employment bureau work are outlined, one of then phases of the program being an effort to induce many incoming aliens who have been tillers of the soil in their own country to go to farms instead of to congested industrial centers.

An urgent plea for the enactment' of a general immigration law, similar to the Burnett bill vetoed by President Wilson at the last session of Congress on account of its literacy test provision, concludes the commissioner's recommendations for legislation. The proposed law, the report says, represented the result of experience and investigation of half a century, framed to conform to all Supreme Court decisions, and would have improved the law by strengthening, and extending many. of its most important provisions, LEFT-OVER DINNER TO HORSES Xmas Oats and Fodder to Be Given Free Today to Hungry Animals.

Nujol, which is nothing but a very carefully refined white mineral oil, is effective in nine out of ten cases of occasional or periodic constipation. It is also remarkably effective in cases of chronic constipation. However, such cases are not cured in a day or a week, especially when the intestinal tract has been weakened by the constant use of laxatives and cathartics. Nujol is not a drug, but a lubricant.

It softens the intestinal contents and facilitates the processes of normal evacuation. In this way, the relaxed bowel muscles are restored to proper tone, and permanent relief is obtained from a condition which is a constant and ever-increasing menace to your health.
