PANAMA is SAFE.
Colonel Gorgas says 1t Has Average
Immunity From Sickness.

Washington, Dec. 1s.-The report OF
Colonel w. c. Gorgas. chief sanitary
officer of the Panama canal zone, for
October shows three cases of yellow
fever during the month, which he says
indicates the early disappearance Of
the disease. Only one case was an en-
ploye of the commission.
Colonel Gorgas states that Panama
has often been free from yellow feeVr
but the only disappearance was when
they had no non-immunes to contract
it. During October he says they had all
the natural conditions favorable for
yellow fever; a larger number of non
immunes probably than had ever be-
fore been on the isthmus, with a wet
and hot month.
The American force reached its max
in1Irn about $4,000, of which mum Der
about 1000 are non-immunes, among
whom was only one case of yellow fever
and not a single death. The report
says that with $4,000 men there the
sick rate is 81 per thousand.
Colonel Gorgas points out that when
the sanitary improvement in progress
including street paving in Panama and
Colon WaterWorks in Panama, Colon
and along the line and comfortably
screened buildings for the employees at
all these points are completed, the
health conditions will be still further
improved, but states that he is in
clined to think that the sanitary ques-
ton of Panama has been settled, as has
been shown. he adds, by the fact that a.
force of laborers as large as there ever
will be. can work on the 1sthmus with
out suffering from yellow fever and
that general health of the same force
can be kept as good as if they were
digging a canal in a healthy part of the
TTDifad States nrODer.

gan. AS a tackler there is no better
man on the gridiron today. Further
more. when playing the backfeld on
defense when a fake kick is attempted
and the runner is going around the
end, Eckersau starts so quickly from
his position after he sees that no kick
is coming that even though the runner
gets by the end he meets Eckersall al
most at once. In the Michigan game
what apparently looked like a sure
thing for Garrels after he circled Chi
cago's end turned out to be only a
three yard gain, because EckersalI had
come up so rapidly and tackled him
so clearly that he barely got around
the end-in fact, it almost seems a
pity that with this speed and ability
EckersaI could not be used more on
the end in defensive work. He is one
of the most accurate passers, if not
the most accurate, in the country to-
day. and Chicago's game requires a
number of intricate passes which must
be unusually well DONE
