At TER SOME
z CENTURIES
Gorgas Says Tropics VIII
\ Ultimately Be Fit for
4 White Residents.
BY Associated Rrasa.

New York, June I3.-Colonel Will
liam G. Gorgas, L. S. A, federal COM
missioner in charge of the sanitation
in the Panama canal zone, addressing
the graduating class or the Cornell
University Medical College here,
prophesied that gradually within the
next two or three centuries, tropical
countries, which offer a much greater
return for mans labor than do the
temperate zones, will be settled by the
white races, and that again the cen
ters OF wealth, civilization and popu-
lation will be in the tropics, as they
were in the dawn of mans history,
rather than in the temperate zones
as at present"
Colonel Gorgas bases his opinion
on the sanitary achievements since
the military occupation of Cuba in
1898 and the canal zone since the
American occupation liz May. 1904.
The last case of yellow fever. he
said, in the canal zone occurred in
December 1905. which was only about
sixteen months later. He described
the war of annihilation waged against
the yellow fever mosquito and the
malaria mosquito, and continuing, he
said:
I'VE have not had any fever in
more than a year and we believe that
in the towns of Panama and Colon
the yellow fever mosquito has been
so reduced in numbers, in fact. al
most exterminated, that yellow fever
would not spread If introduced. Ma.
1aria has been so controlled that the
sick rate of our total force in the
month of April, 1907, was less than Il
per 1000"
