A GREAT INDusTRlAL EPIC.

How does the Panama Canal i'm
press me? 1t impresses me that this
is not the digging OF ditch, or the
building of railroad trackage ten
times across the Isthmus. 1t is the
implanting of civilization. Its
parts are great flights in engineer
ing and sanitation; bold experiments
in government, organization, eduea-
ton, and in social cohesion. Il is
conquest, to which are contributed all
the elements of a good human so
eiety.
The building of the Panama Canal
and the conquest of the Zone are
concrete results of great feats in i'm
agination. We are told that the
great poets are gone and that the
best expression of the poetic impulse
is passing away. Yet l am convinced
that of all epochs this is essentially
the most poetic; but we do not yet
recognize the poetry of it. Here IN
this great enterprise are imagination
prophecy. and better than ALL full
fllment. It may not set itself di-
rectly to the music of words, al
though this will come But even
before it comes, the action. the
rhythm of work, the stupendous leap
of the imagination, the grasp of the
future. the bonding of the peoples Of
the earth, are the elements OF a
greater poem than yet has been
written.
l like to think of this enterprise,
and all other enterprises that real
/ ize great prophecies, as constructive
poetry. The mere putting of it into
words is a mere secondary and real
ly minor matter. Poetry may take
other forms than that OF words II
I is not essential that all poetry be
written: it may be builded All
good work well done is essentially
poetic to the sensitive mind; and
when the work is the rhythm of fifty
thousand souls striking in unison, the
poem is majestic.
The striking of the rivet,
The purr of drill,
The crash OF a steam shovel,
The plunge of a dredge,
The breaking of a furrow,
/ The scooping of a channel,
The roll of the mill,
The silence intent of men at
work,
/ The talk of men going TO their hon
Is
These are all the notes of great
/ symphony.
Nothing is finer than to see the
adding of line upon line that makes
bridge poem.
Here on the Isthmus has been a
paradise lost; we are seeing the
miracle of a paradise regained. 1t is
gained not by angels and supermen,
not by dark forces that we invoke
from the unseen, but by men and
women in the flesh who have the
/ light of the future in their eyes.
Here, at the Isthmus, is to be the
| crossing of the currents, economic,
chronological. political, military.

PHILADELPHIA FREE
 FROM MARTIAL LAW TEE FEAR OF A GENERAL
 STRIKE Does Not Especially Worry Mayor Of City of Brotherly Love.

Philadelphia. March l.-With the withdrawal today of the last detach- ment of state police. and the dis charge from strike service "f the
 Fencibles. the city gave up the last evidence of martial law that has last ed since the car strike began seven days ago. To Till the place of the state troopers. a special cavalry force was organized by the city authorities. Un-
 til late hour not an act of disorder had been reported.
 Interest centered today on the ef- forts to induce the transit company to listen to proposals for arbitration. After a special meeting of the board
 of directors of the company it was again announced that there would be no arbitration. C. O. Pratt. the lead CT of the strikers. however. says he still hopes for a satisfactory settle ment of the strike before the sympa- thetic strike on Saturday. Declaring it to be better for the nembers of the Ministerial associa tion to preach order and peace to their parishioners than to adopt res olutions favoring arbitration. Mayor Reyburn reiterated his opposition to submitting the differences of the com pany and strikers to outside parties The mayor said that while he was the representative of the city. the board Of directors of the company need not necessarily follow the instructions eiv- en by the council because that body did not elect him.
 Do you mean those seven UT eight directors who are opposed to arbitra- tion?''
 T certainly do mean that. The- will never consent to arbitration and I agree with them. These men will not permit the 1000 loyal emp yes who stood by the company ir a crisis. to be punched
 But will not such an attitude force the threatened general strike?"
 T don't know. but if it is coming it will have to come. I don't know any
 way 10 stop it
 At midnight six shots were fired directly opposite the office of Mayor Reyburn by some one who rode in an automobile. X detective gave chase in taxicab. but the automobile Nes- capped. Reyburn said: We will get the people who did it."
