Warships Will Be Sent
To Panama Canal Zone

Washington, d. C.-President Viii.
son and his cabinet decided Wednesday
to send American warships to the ca.
nal zone to guard against violations OF
neutrality there by belIigerent ships.
Just how many ships, and whether
destroyers or cruisers or battleships
shall be dispatched, will be determined
after full report has been received
from Colonel Goethsls, military Cover
nor of the canal zone, and Captain
Rodman, naval officer at the canal.
Both Secretary Garrison and Secre-
tary Daniels made it clear that the de-
Law in acting on the request of Colonel
Goethals for two destroyers was due
to lack Of information.
Mr.. Garrison explained that the
colonel has sent two messages, one
asking for the destroyers, without
specifying the purpose of thier use.
In reply to a message of inquiry on
the latter point Colonel Goethals ex-
planned that the wireless regulations
were being violated in canal waters,
and referred to the misuse of the canal
zone as base of supplies.
The War department again asked for
specific instances of what had oc-
Cured, but no further information has
been received.
On full explanation of conditions
in the canal zone depends exactly what
sction will be taken and under what
departmental jurisdiction.

BattIeship Oregon to Be
Head of Canal Parade

Washington, d. C.--Not only will
the battleship Oregon lead the navies
of the world through the Panama Ca
nal on the date of formal dedication
next February. but she will carry or
her bridge the President of the United
States.
Thus the opening of the Panama Ca
nal becomes a gala day for the old
warship, which gained such distinction
in the Spanish war. All doubt on this
score is cleared up by Secretary Of the
Navy Daniels in his annual report. In
a paragraph devoted to the opening Of
the Panama Canal, Secretary Daniels
says:
''The great maritime powers Of the
world have been invited, and number
Of them have accepted the invitation,

periments in apple and pear scab con-
troll, win be discussed by Professor
81. S. jackson, plant patholcgist OF the
Oregon station, at the o. A. G. annual
short course. January to so, 1915.
Laboratory and field experiments have
been carried on extensively during the

leaf curl, and California peach blight,
brown rot of prunes and other stone
fruits, gooseberry mildew, and other
gooseberry and currant troubles, mill
dews of grain crops, dealing with both
cause and control, important diseases
Of clover and alfalfa, and the rust Of
pear and quinces--a new Western dis
ease. Professor jackson will also ex-
plain the methods of potato seed pro-
duction with reference to diseases and
disease control.
The growers Of small fruits and bush
fruits will be especially interested in
Professor Barss' treatment, and logan
berry anthracnose and other cane fruit
diseases and some of the common and
destructive diseases of cherries. and
mushroom rot as a disease in fruit
trees, will also be handled by Profess
sor Barss.
Vegetable diseases, such as posato
rot and wilt, including rhizoctonia, po-
tato late blight, and common potato
scab and powdery scab win be dis
cussed by Professor Bailey. Other
vegetable dieases, as of onions, celery,
cabbage and tomatoes, win be treated
from the standpoint Of cause and con-
troll.

forth that be and his government will
regard Intervention at Naeo as q hos
tile and unfriendly act.

General Carranza appeared pertufbed.

those close to him, and, in framing his
reply, IL Is said, he has been careful
not TO let himself remain in any un-
certain light.
General Hill, who is commanding
the constitutionalist forces at Naeo, Is
on the defensive" continued General
Carranza, "and since his back was to
the line It 10 difficult to see how he
could be responsible for the firing in

men have been the attacking party and
therefore II appears reasonably clear
that they, and only they, could have

"As matter Of fact, do not know
that the rights of the American citi-
gems have been violated. Il seems to
me that IL would be well for the State
department to investigate this ques-
tion In order TO FIX tho responsibility.

Paso. where the Maderista forces were
attacking there. In that case those
shot were for the most part the impru-
dent and curious individuals who flock

been spectacular show staged for
their benefit.

Mr.. Bryan talks. that is something the
gravity of which fear be does not
fully appreciate. He says 1t would
not mean an invasion of our territory

eighty. It,would. And, moreover, It
would more certainly be an act against
the constitutionalists who hold the
town and in favor Of the Villaistas,
who would be left free to continue
their operations. It would be simply
tying General Hill's hands and leaving
Maytorena free.
81 sincerely hope that good friend
ship of the American people towards
the Mexican people will prevent the
contamination of Secretary Bryan's
threat"
