SOMETHING TO YOU.

",Tis nothing to me-" the beauty said,
With a careless toss of her pretty head;
'The man is weak if he can't refrain
From the cup you say is fraught with pain
II was something when, in after years,
Her ewes were drenched with burning tears,
And she watched in lonely grief and dread,
And started to hear staggering tread
.''Tis nothing to me-, the mother said;
| have no fear that my boy will tread
In the downward path of sin and shame,
And crush my heart and darken his name"
If was something to her when her only son
From the path of right was early won;
And madly cast in the flowing bowl
A ruined body, sin-wrecked soul.
",Tis nothing to me-" the merchant said,
AS over his ledger he bent his head,
81 am busy today with tare and tret,
have no time for fume and fret"
1t was something to him whenever the wire.
A message came from funeral pyre
drunken conductor had wrecked train,
And his wife and child were among the slain.
"'Tis nothing to me-" the voter said,
The party's loss is my only dread.
Then he gave his vote to the liquor trade
Though hearts were crushed and drunkards made.
It was something to him lin after life;
His daughter became drunkards wife,
And her hungry children cried for bread,
And trembled to hear their fathers tread
It is something for us to idly sleep,
While cohorts of death their vigils keep
To gather the young and thOughtless in,
And grind in midst grist of sin,
IT'S something, yes all, for us to stand
C1asping by faith the SaviOr's hand,
Tolearn to labor, live and fight
On the side of God and unchanging right
Selected.

A certain small Chicago laddie is
quick-witted as initiative, and SO given
to considering himself as quite an

Special Hospitals Needed.

The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
estimates that there are over a mil
lion consumptives in the United
State, of whom probably at least one
third are unable to provide for them
selves the necessary treatment at
home. Most of these cases are men
ace to the health of their families and
associates, and should be in special
hospitals At the present time, how
ever, even if every case were known,
it would not be possible to provide &C
commodations for more than one in
eight or ten. The removal of these
foci of infection demands more and

place untenable for an enemy. Be-
sides that, there is nothing on the
island that hostile feet would want.
The United States might have &C.
CURED Taboga. but we didn't need it"
How strong land force is to be
kept in the zone by the United States
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 it may
be that a small army must be main
tanned in the zone, and it 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 necessitate
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 it's 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

chances that such force would have
of finding sustenance. 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 unom-
cially stated, is that the shores of the
Atlantic ocean, within a good many
| miles of the zonep are impracticable
for landing force because of the ma
ture Of the country; that 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 an army, and the semi-open,
rolling savannas between there and
the canal would give easy access to
the zone.
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 if 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 mixed
commission and the residents moved
away. When the canal is completed
the jungle, much of which has been
cleared out, will be allowed to grow up

powerful defense against an invading
army. The practicable roads through
it are few and far between, the
streams not navigable, and the growth

dense that it is virtually impossible

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
a few men could land, make their way
quietly 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. a@
On the whole, the canal will be quite
adequately protected-provided 1t 10

Culebra, G. 1.-THE strongest de-
ion, is the fact that hostile vessel
must come into 5O0-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 are being built
to guard the entrances"
So spoke Colonel Goethals when /
asked him as to, the vulnerability of
the canal in time of war. Continuing,
he said:
''The naval power Of the nations is
SO 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 of
Is much greater than that of those on
moving vessels. I do not believe the
forts would be attacked from the sea
before the enemy had fought and won
O naval victory"
The forts of which Colonel Goethals
spoke are nearing completion and the
empla cements 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
