PRAISES WORK AT PANAMA
Must Fortify, Returning Engineer
Declares-COmplete in 1918.

The necessity for complete fertilization Of
the Panama Canal by the United States
seems a self-evident proposition to the
men engaged in digging the big ditch,
according to George Chauncey Ferris. who
returned Yesterday 10 New York from Pan
anna Mr. Ferris has been connected for
several years with the excavation depart
ment as an engineer, and he told yester-
day of the progress of the project in all di-
rections.
We who were down there and saw how
great an undertaking the work was, he
said. wondered that the slightest question
should he raised by any one as to the i'm
portance Of terrifying the entrances to the
canal II seemed nonsense. after all that
tremendous work. to leave IT exposed. and
especially that those great locks should be
left open to destruction. II was felt that
American millions had been spent in the
job and that America should protect it"
Mr.. Ferris spoke enthusiastically Of the
progress Of the work The whole system.
he said, the technical and engineering feat
ures and the social organization called into
being there. is working with all the per-
lection Of smooth running clockwork This
was due. he said, to the personal influence
Of Colonel Goethals. who. although an army
man and strict in discipline. found time 70

He has set Sunday aside for hearing what
his men have TO say. and although relent-
less toward a man who lies 10 him, Mr.
Ferris sai0, he has won the reputation
among them for being absolutely square.
This has been one of the chief things that
have prevented strikes among the men. be
cause II has made them satisfied and they
have come 10 take an individual pride IN
the work
The slides Of earth" Mr. Ferris con
tnued, are now taken Is matters Of rou-
tine-in fact they sometimes facilitate the
work. a. they throw the earth down in the
path of the tracks already laid. and then
il IS merely a matter Of digging into them:
They will not delay the work. which VIII

When IL was nearly time for the o'clock

Croker was the first 10 greet Chief Ken

shook hts temporary successor by the hand
