TO GUARD CANAL


WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. IL
Secretaries Bryan, Garrison and Dan
iels will today decide whether to send
four torpedo boat destroyers to Pan
anna to aid in enforcing neutrality, in
response to Governor Goethals' re-
quest.
Officials declare that the establish
ment of a naval patron to enforce the
shipping and neutrality laws is being
considered as a result of the COM
parative isolation of the lsthmus and
the activity Of European belligerent
warships in adjacent waters. Prob
ably the action recommended by Goe-
thals will be taktn eventually.
