COD CANAL rs
OPENED TO TRAFFIC

an interior line Of defense is greater
today than ever before.
Besides enhancing the security OF
this country's eastern seaboard. the
canal eliminates for commercial. ship
ping the highly dangerous passage
around Cape Cod between Boston and
New York. The way around the Cape,
with its fogs and windstorms, its
shoals and sunken reefs. is one of
the most treacherous sea lanes in the
world frequented by heavy traffic. 1t
Is estimated that at least 1000 ves-
sells have been wrecked in Vineyard
Sound. without the Cape. and in the
Nantucket shoals region between
1913 and 1913, sos of which were a
total loss. About 700 fishermen have
lost their lives here owing to the fact
that the long arm Of the cape pre-
vented them from reaching haven
in sudden sorns. Cape Cod has been
called The Graveyard OF Ships
THE canal is wider and deeper
than de Lessep's original canal at
Suez. 1t has modern up-to-date
channel, comparable in dimensions to
the ones at Kiel and Manchester. II
crosses near the shoulder Of the cape
where the Pilgrim fathers of more
than ten generations ago decided that
such a canal should be constructed.
George Washington recommended the
building of sea level waterway here
and it has been put forward at FREE
quent intervals. II Massachusetts,
had acted during the era Of canal
building, when New York built the
Erie, and Virginia the Chesapeake
canal. she might have wrested the
marine supremacy from the Hudson
at cost trivial compared to the mon
ey spent upon the two formal canals.
1.-The Cape Cod canal shortens the
distance between Boston and New
York. and other southern ports by
seventy miles. This will mean
large saving on q very large coastal
trafic. It will. further, save a deal
Of needless loss In lives and in prop
erty. Humanity demanded canal
at Cape Cod; commerce needed it;
perseverance, pluck, and financial
ability have finished it-ready for a
tributary and existing tonnage great
er than that Of Suez and over twice
that estimated for Panama"

COCKTAILS TO CONSIDER
BURKE'S NEGOTIATIONS
Garrison Orders Alleged Acceptance
of Gratuities Probed by
aCanal Builder"

Secretary OF War Garrison yesterday
directed that the entire case against John
Burke. manager of the commissary de-
partment of the Panama Railroad, whose
relations with certain firms with which
he had business dealings as railroad
official have been under Investigation for
three months, be turned over to Col
Goethals for such action as he may think
advisable.
Burke has been charged with accepting
gratuities from certain firms from which
he purchased supplies to be sold to Canal
Zone employees through the commissary.
These charges he denies. The government
has not lost anything either way.
u Col. Cocktails decides that sufficient
evidence has been gathered to constitute
a proof of the charges, he will bring such
legal action as is deemed possible. Burke
is not a government employee, according
to the general opinion of law officers, and
therefore can only be proceeded against
civilly.

'WARBY U. S. EXPERTS
ON fever EPlDEMICS


In an effort. to stamp out typhoid fever
among passengers and crews OF SHIPS
plying the Great Lakes, the Public
Health service has decided to require that
all such vessels engaged In interstate
trafiic install water publication plants be-
fore the lake season opens This spring.
This is the result OF an exhaustive In
vestigation recently conducted by Past
Assistant Surg Hugh De vallin. follow
ing number Of serious typhoid epidemics
among passengers of lake steamers. The
regulation will be promulgated within
the next few days.
When careful examination Of water
supplies at points Of call for lake steam
ers failed to disclose the source Of typhoid
epidemics on ships. the health service in
vestigators commenced to test various
waters OF the lakes used by ships to re-
plenish their water tanks. They dis
covered that none Of this water was safe
because Of varying currents, strong land
breezes and the sewage from passing
ships.
The health service regulation will set a
standard of purity for all water on board
ship. except that to be used for the boil
ers of steamships and for cleaning pur-
poses The standard will require GER
tain degree of freedom from ordinary
bacteria and the complete absence OF GER
tain bacteria. 1t will be recommended
that each ship be equipped with a small
distilling plant. although the selection OF
means will not be dictated by the health
service.
The decision of the health service fol-
lowed the report by DIR. De Vallin of a re-
cent epidemic among 800 Passengers Of the
steamer Rochester. which had been char
tered for the Perry Centennial Celebra-
ton at Put-in-Bay. Ohio. OF these 800
nassanvers all from Rhode Island near
ly all suffered from severe intestinal dis
eases. forty were stricken with typhoid
fever. and six died. This proved to be-
one of a number of similar epidemics. and
the regulation proposed Is the remedy de-
termined upon by the health service.
