Our Dependence Upon the Panama
Canal


From Rear Admiral A. T. Mahan's
"The Panama Canal and Sea Power in
the Pacific" in the June Century.
The maintenance of the Panama
canal in effective operation is one of the
large elements in the future develop
ment of sea power in the Pacific. No
other nation has in the canal the sam Q
interest of self preservation that the
United States has Not only is this
true as regards the Panama canal, but
no similar condition of dependence up.
on canal exists anywhere else to near
the same degree. The closest parallel
is Suez, as compared with the Cape of
Good Hope. Suez offers Great Britain
an inside route to her great Austral-
asian colonies, as we'll as to India, but
the existence of the British empire does
not depend upon that route as vitality
as the ability Of our thickly settled
Atlantic coast to come to the aid of the
Pacific depends upon Panama, as COM
pared with Magellan. This necessity
is so urgent as to make the canal, as be-
fore said. essentially part of the coast
line of the United States.

Harry Waller Dies of tuberculosis

At $3.50 o'clock Monday night
the death angel again visited our
city and took from our midst to
its Maker the soul of Harry Wal
Ter. Mr.. Waller had been sick
for many months ard while it has
been known for some time that he
could not possibly get well the
cod was hardly expected so soon.
Realizing the end was not far off
several weeks ago he expressed
his faith in his God and became a
member of the Methodist Church.
Harry Waller was born and
raised in this city. He was a
young man of pleasing address,
quick to make friends and gener-
Gus to a fault. He is survived by
his father and mother, Mr.. and
Mrs. W. H. Waller, of this city
and one brother, Frank Waller of
Lexington. We join the many
friends in extending our SYM
pathy.
