RUSH DESTROYERS,
PLEA OF COCKTAILS
Panama Canal Governor Requests
Washington to Send Him Naval
Vessels at Once.
DOES NOT EXPLAIN PURPOSE
1t ts Believed that He Wants War
Craft TO Ala I'm Preserving
Neutrality of Zone and
Waters.

WARRINGTON. Dec. IS-colonel Geo
thals has requested that destroyers be
sent to the canal zone Immediately. It
was learned tonight, but no specific ex-
PLANTATION of the need for naval vessels
there was included in the message. A re-
ply asking for this explanation was sent
at once, but no answer had been received
from Colonel GoethRls at a late hour.
Officials believe the canal governor has
experienced some difficulty In preserving
the complete neutrality of the zone and
Its territorial waters. Many ships be-
longing TO belligerent nations are in the
vicinity and 1t is thought possible Colonel
Goethals has found himself unable to
check use of their wireless plants within
the three-mile limit to convey informa-
tion to warships at sea. With swift naval
vessels TO aid It would be an easier mat
ter to regulate use Of wireless and It was
thought probable tonight that the neoes-
sary destroyers would be dispatched as
soon as Colonel Goethals' explanation is
received.
