NEED $4,000 MEN TO
GUARD PANAMA CANAL
GO0tha|s Wants Big Garrison
For Strategic Point.

Washington. - A garrison Of $4,000
men will be necessary to guard the
Panama canal. says Colonel Goethals,
its chief builder. Under present plans
congress would provide for garrison
Of only 5000 men.
"Once we lost control of the sea In
war;" he said, I'VE would have to de
pend upon the garrison of the zone,
We could not expect to get REINFORCE
ments there from the United States.
The locks, the vital portion of the ca,
nal, should be guarded by large
force, and the Atlantic and Pacific
ends of the canal should be garrisoned.
At least $4,000 men would be needed
to properly guard the canal"
His statement that the canal could
hardly be held II the United States
lost control OF the sea aroused much
interest In Washington.

Sir George Turner to Devote

HOPES TO FIND A REMEDY.

10 Victim of Dread Disease Himself and

In Secluson at Exeter.
London. Although Sir George Tur-
ner is afflicted with leproSy as the result
Of his heroic SELF sacrifice in working
among lepers in South Africa. he has
no intention of abandoning his active
work among the sufferers from that
disease, but has decided to devote the
remainder OF his life to lepers.
He has just offered his services to
the mission to lepers in India and the
east. but 1t is felt that there is greater
scope for his work in South Africa,
where he knows all the conditions, and
he will probably return to that field Of
labor. He is full of brave hope that he
may be able to do something more for
his fellow sufferers.
In an interview Sir George said that
his treatment of lepers thus far had
been on the general principles Of max
ing lepers more comfortable and re-
tarding the advance of the disease.
There was great possibility, he
thought, that some remedy might be
found
"Generally speaking" he said, 'peo-
