WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-President
Roosevelt will have an opportunity
this year to appoint one major gem

will be chief of engineers. Vacancies

eral ]. M. K. Davis, in command of the
Department of the Gulf, leaves the
army service.
The next retirement among general
officers will be that of Major General
Az w. Greeley, formerly chief signal
officer and now in command Of the De-
partment OF Dakota, on March 81.
This will leave vacancy in the grade
of major general and permit the pro-
motion Of brigadier general. with a
consequent cavancy in that grade.
The other brigadier general to re.

STEVENS KNOCKS
PANAMA CANAL
1t Will be a Failure When
Completed.

NEW HAVEN, CONN, March 10
John F. Stevens, vice president of
the New York, New Haven and Tart
ford Company and former chief en-
gineer Of the Panama Canal, has is
sued statement regarding the latter
enterprise in which he prophesies a
failure of the undertaking.
Mr.. Stevens says that the canal
will not help the United States in it's
trade with South America, as prac-
tically all of the inhabitants of the
southern continent are on the east of
the Andes. Mr. Stevens also says
that our commercial returns with
the islands of the Pacific and the
Far East the canal will be of little
value. Our coal and wheat centers
are inland. Their products have to
be started on their way by rail. When
once loaded on cars it would be no
cheaper to ship to the Atlantic and
then ship to the East by the way of
the canal than it would be to send
directly to the ports on our Pacific
coast and then get on board ship.
Furthermore, Mr.. Stevens believes
that our coal supply is fast diminish
ing and that China will be the source
of future coal supply. Siberia, he
says, will be the wheat country of the
future, with India a close second.
Mr.. Stevens maintains that the
Panama canal will not meet expenses
and it will cost more than is expect
ed. 1t will be an advantage to Eu-
ropean countries and not to us. The
date of the finishing of the canal he
fixes as January, 1915.
The idea of the canal being of great
value to us in times of warfare, since
our naval forces can be quickly sent
from one coast to the other, he says,
is absurd. 1t would talks days for
the ships to get around and during
that time hostile shells could have
done their work. Mr.. Stevens believes
that it would be far wiser plan of
defense to put the money that the
canal will cost into a greater navy.
