PANAMA AND
AMERICA ON
BEST OF TERMS

Philadelphia, Pa, Oct. 3.-Dr. Leo
S. Rowe, of the University of Pennsyl-
vania, one of the representatives of
the United States on the international
claims committee, established under
the treaty of 1908 with the Republic
of Panama, returned here from Pana-
ma last night. In statement on the
work of the committee, he said:
The decision of the United States
to acquire title to all the lands in
the canal zone involved much more
than the appropriation of large
amount of property. The policy
adopted by the government of the
United States was not only to ac-
quire title to all of the land in the
canal zone, but also to depopulate the
zone.
"In other words, the thousands of
small farmers who had for many
years cultivated small tracts of pub
lie land as a means of livelihood
were to be driven from their homes.
This involved the necessity of passing
on a great number of claims for dam
ages.
1T is a source of great satisfaction
that practically all the decisions Of
the committee we're reached by unan;-
nous agreement. The closest possible
cooperation existed between the
Panamanian and the American COM
missioners.
After discussing the results Of the
work on the canal, DR.. Rowe cot

States are irretrievably bound to.

"The relationship is a peculiar and
exceptional one and is being watched
with close interest throughout Latin
America. The extent to which we
show unselfishness in our relations
with the Republic of Panama will
furnish the standards by which our
professions of unselfishness toward
other Latin-American countries Will

CANAL NOT INJURED
BY THE EARTHQUAKE
NO DAMAGE TO THE
STRUCTURES OF WATERWAY
DAMAGE IN INTERIOR CITIES
OF PANAMA

Panama, Oct. absolutely no DAM
age was done to the structures of
the Panama canal by the earthquake
which occurred in the canal zone be-
tween II and ~ O'Clock last night
The official statement, issued to-
day concerning the earthquake shows
the first tremor was not noticeable, ex
cept on the seismograph at the An
con observatory. 1t occurred at 1:40
yesterday afternoon. The next and
greatest shock was that felt at 11:25
last night. Between then and 5:1S this
morning eleven other tremors were
recorded. The violence of the vibra
ton at 1125 last night was so great
that it threw the pen off the paper
OF the seismographt and consequently
an exact record of it's duration was
not obtainable. The consensus OF
opinion is that it lasted from 20 to %
seconds.
Instruments at the observatory
showed that the common point of orr
gin of the shocks was somewhere
north of Colon in the Caribbean sea.
The Gatun dam and the canal locks
sustained absolutely no injury.
An early investigation of the condi-
ton of the buildings at Panama
showed that more damage had been
done than it had been at first be-

III several concrete buildings. This
condition was particularly noticeable
in Twelfth street, near Santa Anna
Plaza.
Three hours after the earthquake
one of the South American cables
broke about $50 miles north of Pana-
ma This may have been the result
of the shocks, or it may have been
merely a coincidence.
The earthquake appears to have
been of a submarine character.
The only serious damage to BULL
ings in the city of Panama was the
shaking down of some of the plaster
and fresco interiors of the famous
flat-arched Santo Domingo church.

PLAY TO win, SAYS CHRISTIE
NATHEWSON, But PLAY FAIR

In the October number of Boys Life
Christy Mathewson, the PEERLESS
pitcher of the Giants and idol of ev-
cry American youth, who follows bas2-
ball, has an article we'll worth re-
producing.
Matty says he is afraid that too
often the average boy-and the ag-
erage man, too-plays the game just
to win, and declares that "the big
thing is not to win; the big thing S
to do your best and doing your best
means getting into the game with
your whole heart No matter what the
game is, play it for all there is ii
you and all there is in the game"
The great pitcher advises the bow
first to know himself-to know his
physical and mental self-to know his
own weak points and develop the n
to the full. This, he says, will take
practice, practice, and more practice,
for in athletics especially, practic :
makes perfect"

YOUR arms and legs" says Matty. y

Know how to throw, to catch, to bat,
to run bases, to punt, to kick goals
anything required by the game-but
know also how to think straight about

game with your arms and legs and
brains, too, you get out of it the most
fun and the most benefit. There
are disasters in sport, but boys who
use their brains as we'll as their arms
and legs usually escape them"
Mathewson tells the boy that
whether he loses or wins in his game
he should try always to win every
body's respect, so that people will say:
He's a fine fellow-he's square" He
advises the boy to play the game ev
erywhere-in school, on the diamond,
on the gridiron, in the gym, on the
track.
Playing the game means playing it
clean, with all your heart and mind
If you do that you will get real joy
