panama Canal Will Not
Double Navy's Efficiency"

MOBILE, Ala, Oct 2s.-Conceding
the vast benefits that will accrue to
commerce through the opening of the
Panama canal Secretary Daniels told
the delegates to the Southern CONNER
cial congress last night that it would
not double the efficiency Of the navy
He admitted that it would give great
help to the mobility OF the fleets.
Now that the canal is nearing COM
pletion," said the secretary, "and the
day is near at hand when ships will
sail from San Francisco to the Carib-
bean in about 240 hours, as against
SPA hours it took the Oregon to sail
around Cape Horn, we are told that
the building of the canal demands
twice as large a navy as formerly and
that control of the canal demands
large standing army on the isthmus.
Secretary Daniels continued: AS 8
almost all other things the truth Hes
between two extravagant assertions
The canal will not double the effect
iveness of our navy, but it will greatly
increase its ability to defend every
part of the coast on the Pacific, as
well as on the Atlantic"

sOA PAULo, Oct. 2s.-what con-

Theodore Roosevelt addressed him.
self to this question last night in a
speech on Character and ciyiliza-
ton" delivered In the government
university here
1.-THE sum of those qualities, dis
tinct from the purely intellectual
qualities, which are essential to moral
efficiency" was Colonel Roosevelt's
definition of character. Resolution,
courage, energy, power of self-con-
troll combined with fearlessness IN
taking the initiative and assuming
responsibility; a just regard for the
rights Of others, together with I'M
f1inching determination to succeed,
no matter what obstacles and bar
riers have to be beaten down. There
Is, moreover, one quality too often
wholly lacking in men of high in
tellectual ability, without which real
character cannot exist; namely. the
fundamental gift OF common sense"
Character, Colonel Roosevelt said,

lect- Intellect is a useful servant
but an evil master unless itself mas
tered by character. This is true
Of individuals and In larger sense
true of nations. American republics.
north and south, have shown In the
past, again and again, curious for
getfulness Of this precept. A re-
public could prosper although ths
average man were not brilliant: a
republic could not prosper II its av-
erage man became inf1rm of mind
and soul, If he feared hard labor, IL
he sought TO rise by ways that rep
resent wrong to his weaker brethren.
I'VE citizens of the various COM
monwealths of the new world are
engaged In a double task" Colonel
Roosevelt said. I'VE are endeavoring
to retain without loss the cultural
civilization inherited through our
forefathers who came hither from the
old world. We are also endeavoring
SO to develop and adapt this old
world civilization as to purge 1t Of
whatever of evil is mixed with the
good therein. to bring forth new good
and to fit and adjust 1t to the pecu-
liar needs and opportunities yielded
by the Western hemisphere Both
sides OF the task present grave diff
ficulties.

Skill of Captain Saves
Liner Teut0nic from
Crash With Iceberg

NEW YORK, Oct 2s.-Cable adj
vices received here today report the
narrow escape by the steamer Teu-
tonic from possible disaster in a COLI
sion at sea with a giant iceberg, Oc-
tober q, three days out from Quebec,
bound for Liverpool.
Fog enveloped the Teutonic and she
was proceeding slowly. Previously
she had been warned of icebergs In
the steamer track, and her lookout
kept constantly on the watch.
About $3.50 p. m. the officer at the
forecastle head rushed TO the bridge
and reported ice ahead. Captain
James instantly signaled' the engines
astern and threw his helm hard to
port. The Teutonic answered her
helm perfectly, just as an enormous
berg doomed out Of the fog. The YES
sci missed the ice mountain only by
few yards.
The Teutonic arrived OF Liverpool
| tonight. Her 400 passengers drew up
and signed testimonial to the skill
fu1ness of Captain James in averting
calamity like that of the Titanic

Briefest Play Has Three
Acts; Two Lines in Each

NEW YORK, Oct. 2s.-Mrs. August
Belmont made her reappearance on
the stage of the Music School Settle
ment last night as the reader of a
play submitted in the contest being
held by the Educational Dramatic
League, OF which she is president
The play had three acts of two lines
each, and the reader explained that
she chose 1t because of its brevity and
naivete.
1t is based on the origin of the
American flag. The first act, as Mrs.
Belmont explained. was a CONVERSE
ton between American soldiers and
army officers. 1t was:
Soldiers to Officers-"Say, do you
know we amt got no flag"
Officers-Yes, amt it f1erce7
