NEED ARMY TO
GUARD CANAL
25, 900 Men Will be REQUIRED
as Guards, Says
Goethals.

Washington. D. c.. Jan. 2l.-A gar.
rison of $4,000 men will be necessary
to guard the Panama canal, Col
Gosthals, its chief builder, told the
mouse naval affairs committee. Under
present plans. congress would provide
for garrison Of only 5000 men.
Once we lost control Of the sea in
war;" he said. we would have to
depend upon the garrison on the zone,
we could not expect to get reinforce
ments there from the United States.
Should Guard the Locks.
The locks. the vital portion of the
canal. should be guarded by a large
force, and the Atlantic and Pacific
ends Of the canal should be garrison.
ed. AT least $4,000 men would be
needed to properly guard the canal -
Col. Goethals lauded the work done
ny the marines in the Canal Zone, and
urged the retention Of considerable
force of marines there.
HIS statement that the canal could
nardly be held ii the United States
lost control Of the sea aroused much
interest In the committee. and later
IN the day Representative Hobson Of
alabama. urging provision for larg.
er army In the debate on the militarv
appropriation bill, quoted Coi
Goethals at length.
Col. Goethals' testimony was an elo-
quent appeal for additional battle
ships and the acceptance Of Secretary
Meyer's recommendation for the au-
thorization at this session of congress
for three battleships of the first class
If we lost q sea fight ut either en-.
trance to the canal" said Col.
Goethals. "our enemy could land fore.
es. and the canal would be DESTROYED
or taken possession Of. The canal will
cost this country when completed
about 5O0.0OO.OOO."
Col. Goethals was before the com.
mittee to urge the continuance Of the
force OF marines on the Canal Zone.
While he has the necessary workmen,
ne desires that barracks for the ma
force of at least $4,000 men. he said:
The policy Of the government
seems to be opposed to this. and the
force will be reduced TO about s.0OO."

aurochs or the bison by much a word. AS
the authors of these classics were great sports
men and close observers this would support the
theory that both these animals had already then
become quite extinct In western Europe.
In the sixteenth century, when Europe, so far
as art was concerned, had at last been aroused
from it's medieval stupor by the invention OF
printing, and extraordinary demand had
sprung up for pictorial matter illustrating re-
cent exploration of new worlds and the various
forms of the chase there produced quite
number Of pictures of the aurochs by artists,
very few of whom had ever set eyes upon live
wild specimen, though they may have seen cap
tive ones. The artist OF whom positively
know that he had before him at least a stuffed
specimen was the Viennese engraver Augustin
Hrschvogel (born In Nurnberg about 1909, who
illustrated the famous travel book of Baron Her
bernstein, the authority most frequently quoted In
connection with the aurochs. for he was absolute
ly the last intelligent observer who the beast
in it's wild state and left pictorial records Of his
impressions. Herbersten gifted with pres
cent eyes, for he foresaw that the aurochs
doomed to speedy extinction Hence on his sew
eral expeditions to the unknown interior OF Rus

milan in 1868, then on many different occa-
sions as Charles VS. and Ferdinands emissary.
he made notes about 1t, and, what was much more
important, actually brought back with him some
skins and skulls, which he had mounted In his
house in Vienna and from which Hirschvogel

picture of a bison. AS these two portraits
which have been published scores Of times, will
be familiar to all interested in this matter. we
will merely quote the inscriptions placed by Her.
bernstein the two pictures for 1t is a per.
fecty correct differentiation. The picture Of the
bison has the followiSg: IL am Bison. am
called by the Poles Suber, by the Germans
Bisont Damthier, and by the ignorant an

the ignorant a Bison" The inscriptions in the

give the sense In the best form.
Shortly after Herbersten the Flemish painter
Stradanus. who lived and worked for over fifty
years in Florence (from 1853 to 1605). produced
a drawing Of aurochs engaged in a terrific
struggle in where he was matched
against a lion. two wolves and bear This
original drawing is not the least interesting Of
the twenty odd ancient pictures of the aurochs
in the writer's collection. In 1873 the Antwerp
publisher Philip Gale published this and one
