Colonel Gorgs.s came to Panama
in 1903. when the isthmuS was over
run with pestilcnce CT every sort
Yellow fever was rampant and peSSi-
mistS said the canal couldn't be fin
ished on account of disease.
Gorgas got busy at once in his
fight on the pestilence. He cleaned
up the Panaman towns, severed,
tagged and drained them, and then
he went at the marshes with oils and
poisons of various sorts and killed
off the mosquito. Today Panama is
mosquito1ess, and it's one of the
healthiest places on earth. All be-
cause of GorgaS.
His work here is nearly finished.
He leaves the canal in a few months
to go to the mines of the Rand, South
Africa, by permission of Uncle Sam,
to investigate the pneumonia scourge
that kills the Kaffir workmen in the
mines of the Rand, as the yellow fever
killed the canal diggerS of other days.
No one who knows what Gorgas has
done here doubts that he will succeed.

to work out the problem The possi-
bility that within the next few days a
definite announcement will be made by
the Huerta government of the result
of the election last Sunday is having
the effect of postponing action by the
United States.
While the election has been repudi-
ated here the actual formahties of pro-
claiming the result may have some
bearing on the situa tion for while this
government has already refused to
countenance the result foreign govern
ments have not taken any position and
it is felt in many quarters that the
United States should await formal ac-
rion by the authorities in Mexico City
before putting on record it's objections.
President Wilson is carefully consid-
ering suggestions from his advisors
and it was said today that the plan
might not be ready until next week s
ca binet meeting.

SOME ROW AT YALE,
Students Dissatisfied With Coach of
Crew-Want Another

New Haven, Oct. 3O.-Referring to
the defeat of the Yale crew at Prince
ton last Saturday the Yale Daily
News today makes a vigorous demand
for a new coaching system. 1t de-
clares that the loss of the race to the
Tigers has produced a torrent of crit
icism that proves complete distrust in
the present system; that the rowing
authorities perceive the imperative
need of a competent coach; that the
present coaches admit their failure and
that the graduate rowing committee
must forsake sentimentality and find
somebody who can save Yale crews
from jests and insults
The undergraduate body is agreed.
the News says, that 1.-The difficult
English stroke as taught by youthful
amateur coaches, has failed" and the
undergraduates are not alone in this
belief. The English stroke was
brought here by AverilI Hartman, son
of the late E. H. Hartman.
1.-THE rowing authorities" continues
the News realize how imperative is a
competent coach who can teach a
stroke which does not require a life
of galley shaving"
