No Danger to Panama Canal
from Earthquakes Feared

WASHINGTON. Oct 25.-Little
danger, if any, to the Panama canal
exists from earthquakes, in the opin-
ion of Rev. f. A. Tondorf, of George
town University, a recognized au-
thority on seismology.
In a statement today he takes ex-
ceptions to the alarmist views of
certain scientists. He cannot see that
the conformation of the earth at
Panama can lead to the conclusion
that earth commissions are to be
feared
81 do not believe there is any pos
sible danger to the canal from earth
quakes," said DR.. Tondorf. 81 base
this conclusion mainly on the past
history of the 1sthmus of Panama.
which shows that it is free from
earthquakes. There have been seri-
Gus disturbances in the Pacific to the
south of Panama and in certain of
the islands of that ocean, but there
is nothing to indicate that Panama
itself is subject to earthquakes"

PARIS, Oct. 25.-Exchanges of

eral European powers possessing
large economic interests in Mexico
with the object of defining common
policies there, especially a joint atti-

desirable
The initiative in the matter is I'M

We expect now to estab-

the hundredth of a second, and, as a
part of this result, the longitude of
Washington as related to Paris.
France Will later send missions to
the other principal nations with the
object of establishing a similar accu-

work is accomplished, the world will
receive time signals from the Eiffel

deductions that they are the same

told that upon their cooperation de-

trot party down in Cuero. Texas.
It happened this way: The "trot,"
set for November 1921, is to be so
mammoth a frolic that hundreds of
natives with fine Thanksgiving birds
are going to swarm Cuero from all
the countryside. Accordingly the war
department is asked to loan four hun
dred or five hundred army cots, upon
which out trotted trotters could rest
between trots and on which overfed
Thanksgiving celebrants likewise
might find repose. The matter is un-
der consideration.
