Shortly before noon the following
messagra was iriven to Manager
Thatcher, of the Western Union Com
pany, by President Moore, of the expo
sition, addressed to President Wilson:
"That ?anam-Facific International
t
Exposition of 1915 is now ready. Those
to whom the Congress of the United
States, with the approval of the Presi
dent, entrusted the great work of pro
viding this celebration of the comple
tion of the Panama Canal have per
formed their task with all the seal and
devotion of which they were capable.
We offer our respectful homage to you
and through you to the people of the
Nation, and dare to express the hope
that our patriotic endeavors will merit
the commendation of our Government
and the appreciation of mankind.

"CHARLES C MOORE."
Promptly at noon this message from
Mr. Moore, conveying the information
that ceremonies in the grandstand had
concluded was dispatched: "The Presi
dent, Washington. D. C: I have the
honor to announce that the exposition
Is now officially opened. God bless the
people of the United States."
A few seconds after the message was
flashed to President Wilson the return
flash was noted. It had been sent by
President Wilson from the National
Capitol. As the tick was received th
doors of the Palaces of Machinery and
Transportation flew open. The waters
at the Fountain of Energy burst forth
in colors of the rainbow. Whistles

Modern Trench Fighting.
New Republic.
There is an illusion, held with un
common tenacity by the general publid,
that the range and effectiveness of
modern arms tends to keep armies far
apart. On the contrary, there Is more
hand-to-hand fighting today than at
any time since gunpowder was invent
ed. Many weapons long since thought
obsolete have come into use again.
First among these are grenades, of
which there are all kinds, from manu
factured bombs with fuses to soda
water bottles or tin cans filled with
old iron a variety which is practically
as effective. Some of them are car
ried in the hand, some on long poles.
There are also the canister, which Is
nothing but a shell filled with very
small shot, and the trench-mortar,
meant to throw a shell ft short distance
straight up into the air and down into
the enemy's trench. For the last pur
nose I have seen wooden guns used,
but I was never able to find out whether
they worked on the principle of a sling,
of the opinion that an improved type
of trench-mortar would twrn the scale
a spring or an alrgun. I am personally
in the attackers' favor. t
