GEN. WOOD FAvORS GARRISON
ING PANAMA CANAL FORTS.

Washington, Dec. 1S-Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood, chief of staff of
the army, in his annual report
makes some recommendations for
the garrisoning of the Pan
ANA Canal forts. He says it is
necessary to provide garrisons to pro-
tect the canal and insure its neutrali-
ty and for that he recommends twelve
companies of coast artillery, four reg
iments of infantry, at full strength,
on battalion of field artillery. one
squadron of cavalry AID some auxiliary
troops.
IN recommending the short term en-
hstments, Che General says the argu-
ment that men would not return to
the cOlors in the time of war is IAN
unwarrantable reflection of the pa
triotism of men who have served the
tolors and returned to private life"

export, its total for the year. over
half billion dollars exceeding the COM
bined value of the two great classes

which made the highest record in the
history of the import trade. Exports
and manufactures exported also make
their highest record. reaching approx
imately l billion dollars in the calen-

for the year, based upon 10 months
record already compiled, are: Ex-

one-half entered free of duty.
Considering the great groups of ar

terials, from ASP million to 442 mil
