That tlio Suck nnnl figuring so prom inently in tho military operations to which Turkey is n parly, is not the first cnnnl that joined the Red Sen with the Mediterranean, w briefly told in n statement prepared for tho press today by the National Geo graphic Seciety: "From tho morning history, the west linn sought to break into tho east by wny of Suez. Somewhere during tho years 1350-W00 . C, the bgyptians, under Sett I nml Itnmcses II, joined tho Nile by way of Lake Tunsnh totlie Red Sea, thus owning a vatenvay, tho' archetype of the present canal, from tho Mediterran ean, over the Sues Isthmus, to the Orient. This ennnl was choked by sand in the course of ages. Nceho, about GOO H. C, bepm n ennui from ancient Hubastw, nnd Darius llyetas pis, ono hundred years inter, com pleted the work, once more bringing tho lied Sea and tho Kilo together. Although nearly choked up by the be ginning of the Christian era, it was navigable to a degree as late as the Battlo of Aotiuni, and some of Cleo patra's ships escaped this way to the Red Sea. "Trajan restored the cnnnl. It fell into disuse nnd choked up again. Amru, the Islamic conqueror of Egypt, restored it for tho last time in tho 7th century, connecting Cairo with tho Red Sen. Napoleon caused tho old route to bo surveyed, but was forced to drop the project. After him, Mcttornich, the great reaction ary prirao minister of Austria-Hun gary, stimulated a buez commission in 1847. Nothing, however, came of it. "As the world well knows, the Suez canal was built by the man who fail ed to build the. Panama Canal Count Ferdinand deLcsscps. lis original depth was 20 Vi feet, nnd its bottom width 72 feet. It could accommodate ships of 24 7-12 feet, but it was in oKrntiou 11 years, beginning iu 1869 before vessels of such draft sought pnssago. Hy 18890 its depth bad been increased 29,i' fct n"d when tho United States announced its in tention to make n canal 41 feet deep and 300 feet wide at its narrowed bottom point at l'nnnma, tho work nt Suez was extended so as ultimately to give a bottom, width of 134'- feet nnd n depth of 30 1-12 feet. It was .expected that this enlargement would bo complete by next year, but the war hna interrupted operations. "How much larger than tho aver age demands for a canal the Pannma waterway has been made is strikingly shown by a statement from Suez to the effect that only one per cent of the ships scckint; pnssago by that route havo n draft of 28 feet. "In 18S9, ten vcsels passed through the Suez canal. Iu 1912, 5,373 ships steamed through, of 20, 275,120!ct tonnage, and paying for this privilege around 25,000,000. Seven out of every ten of these ships flew tho British flag. Lnglnud has dominated tho cnnnl ever binco the Khedive, in 1875, sold his 17C,602 canal shares for $20,000,000, to the British government. These shnre arc now worth close to .200,000,000. Tho society nlso gave out the fol lowing bhort pen picture of the city of Rhiems, which has suffered so heavily iu tho many wars in whjeh France lias participated. . "Tho touriuts' Ithciins was quiet nnd peaceful, even induhtrinl and .commercial peace and neighborly for bearance seeming to reign theie. The whole nppcnmuco of tho place made its warlike history seem as distant and unreal as the romance of folk lore. Rheims was one of the most sleepy of nil truly prosperous cities. "It preserved with tenacity an air reminiscent of tho middle ages. Its homes were old-stylo, its streets were cobbly, and its young men and women regularly danced iu the open night on the naked sands ami gravel of the parks, ns their forebears had dono under the Louis's. Rheiuw, des pite its more than proper shuro of stirring, tumultuous history nnd the wealth which its commerce and indus try had brought to it, maintained nn attitude of listless reflection upon tho days when the kings of France were crowned with nil manner of proud show iu its wonderful cathe dral, lthcims went into a calmly progressive doe, if there can be Mich a thing, just nfter it witnessed the most thrilling event iu all its history the crowning of Charles VII. pre sided over by deathless Jean of Arc. "This biunll French city has been one of tho restful places of the world between wnrs, but war has awakened it mora often and caused it more of loss and suffering than falls to the lot of most cities. Rheims has lain across the path of many an' enemy's march. It suffered Severely iu the campaign of 1814. In 1870, the Qer- ranus stonncd its defenses, nnd Ger man shells tore their wny into its quaint limestone homes. Todny, Rheuns has been mentioned more often in dispatches toncerning bom bardments than any other part of Europe. The brave old town has been forced to break its rest again nnd to suffer the petinlties of being n for tress, the kev to the Champagne plains which swell unobstructed to Paris. "Rheims is the champagne center of the world. The last thing of which the physical center of Rheims would make one think is that of the clink of champagne glasses and the purl of their sparkling, feathery liquid. Yet, there nrc more than fifty famous wine firms iu the place, and upon its outskirts nrc tho wonderful maze of underground ccllnrs, drilled through chalk formation, where millions of bottles arc ripened every year. "Tho champagne cellars about Rheims nrc second in the interest of most travelers onlv to the city's beau tiful cathedral. During tourist sen son any number of btrangcrs wan der through these underground ways, with their miles of mellowing pleas ure. In this nrticlc of her commerce, Rheims hns done business with all the word. Tho grapes from which the most sparking of drinks is made nrc grown around the city, on its sunny fields and hills and about the Montn gno do Rheims. "Rheims is two hours by express from Paris, 107 miles. It is built on a plain, with hills to the south and southwest. Strong, detuched forts surround it. Its streets nnd boule vards arc broad, and thoy nro border ed by quaint stone nnd stucco homes in pntterns of yesterday. In the cen ter of the town, its chief glory nnd an object of international pilgrimage, stands the Notre Damo dc Rheims cathedral. It is one of the world's very finett specimens of Gothic. Though n product of .tho thirteenth nnd fourteenth centuries, it has never been finished; it still lacks tho towers of the original design."
