Culebra, C.'Z.-"The strongest de-
Tense Of the Panama canal, in my opin.
ion, is the fact that a hostile vessel
must come into a 500-foot channel long
before it is within striking distance Of
the vital points of the canal, the locks,
and in doing so must pass within easy
range of the forts that r being built
to guard the entrances"
So spoke Colonel Goethals when i
asked him as to the ~vulnerability Of
the canal in time of war. Continuing,
he said:
1.-THE naval power Of the nations is
80 nicely balanced now that no one
of them would be willing to risk the
destruction Of a single battleship By
attacking those forts, which will be
equipped with powerful guns, and d.
course the accuracy Of guns on shore
is much greater than that Of those ON
moving vessels. ! do not believe the
forts would be attacked from the sea
before the enemy had fought and won
a naval victory"
The forts Of which Colonel Goethals
spoke are nearing completion and the
emplacements for many of the heavy
guns already have been constructed.
No one not officially connected with
the work is permitted to approach
them, but / venture to say that in case
OF urgent necessity the guns could be
hurried down to the isthmus and
mounted ready for emergency service
within a very short time.

How strong a land force is to be

I believe has not yet been determined.
1t is generally admitted that the great
est danger to the canal in time OF war
lies in attacks by forces that might
have,succeeded in landing on the 18TH
mus. As a defense against this 1t may
be that a small army must be main
tanned in the zone. and 1t has been sug-
gested that the towns of Empire and
Culebra, instead of being destroyed
because they are on the wrong side"
OF the canal, be utilized as quarters for
the soldiers. This would h~ecessitate
connecting them with the other side Of
the canal, where the Panama railroad
has been relocated, by ferry, bridge or
tunnel. No decision on this matter has
been reached yet by the authorities.
Meanwhile the army has not been
%neglecting its part Of the defensive
work. For some time the Tenth in
fantry has been encamped in the zone
and its men, in small detachments,
have been hiking" all over that part
of the isthmus. The possibilities Of
landing a hostile force on the shores
Of both the Atlantic and the Pacific
have been Investigated, and also the

Lesson From the Past.

The agent of the accident insur-
ance company had tackled Noah.
According to your own story, un-
cle," he said, you are going to be
af1oat in a short time in a ship built
on dry land, without any motive pow
er, and YOU don't know a thing
about sailing a vessel, anyhow. You
can't tell what may happen to you.
Don't you think you'd better take out
some accident insurance."
Young man." said Noah, "Tve lived
no be 600 years old and I'll be still
alive when you and your insurance
company have persisted from the face
Of the earth. VIII you please step on
the gangplank? You're in the way of
the animals that are trying to come
aboard"
: Noah, as we learn from the records,
was no victim Of misplaced conf
dence, either. He fingered $50 years
after this incident.

chances that such a force would have
Of finding sustennnce. Then little
groups of soldiers have been started
from various possible landing places
with instructions to make their way
as swiftly as possible to given points
along the canal, mapping the country
they traverse, in order to determine
what an enemy could do.
The result Of this work Of investfga-
ton SO far, briefly and wholly unofi-
cially stated, is that the shores of the
Atlantic ocean, within a good many
miles Of the zone, are impracticable
for a landing force because of the ma
ture Of the country; that a landing
could be made easily on the Pacific
side some distance west of the zone,
but between there and the canal the
jungle is SO dense as to be virtually
impossible; that the dangerous dis
trict is that lying Immediately EAST of
the zone on the Pacific side. On the
last mentioned shores an enemy could
well land ar army, and the semi-open,
rolling savannas between there and
the canal would give easy access to
the zone. al
The army officers on the isthmus
make no secret Of the fact that their
investigations are being carried on
mainly with the Japanese in mind.
How those islanders could land there
and what they could do IL they did
land are the problems engaging the
attention Of Colonel Greene and his
men Of the Tenth.
One defensive measure that has
been adopted is the clearing out Of
practically all Inhabitants from the
zone. except at the ends Of the canal
and In several of the larger towns,
which, as I have said. may be kept as
quarters for the soldiers. All holdings
of land are being valued by a mixed
commission and the residents moved
away. When the canal Is completed
the jungle, much OF which has been
cleared out. win be allowed to grow up
again, for the experience Of centuries
has shown that that jungle itself is a
powerful defense against an invading
army. The practicable roads through
it r few and far between, the
streams not navigable, and the growth
of trees, brush and great vines 80
dense that 1t is virtually impossible
for a body Of men, to say nothing Of
cannon and supply wagons. A rapid
dash through the jungle would be en-
tirely out Of the question, and when
the zone is deserted all food supplies
will have disappeared.
Some fear has been expressed that
few men could land. make their way
to the canal and blow up the
locks. But It seems unlikely that they
could get ashore and transport to- the
canal. undetected, enough explosives
TO do any great damage.
On the whole, the canal viii be quite
