more ships for the transportation OF
the products of land and factory to
foreign shores.
Prodigies of marine expansion have
been performed by Germany and ia

of this movement that now Is the time

Is said that the power and wealth of
the nation can be doubled by the ac-
QUESTION of an adequate merchant ma

The organization that will have
charge of spreading the gospel of our
marine expansion is the National Ma

headquarters at Washington. +. III. w.
Ross, for many years a country bank
err, Is president Of the league and has
taken active charge of It's affairs. The
league is absolutely nonpartlsan In
character and does not represent any
interest or party. It's sole purpose is
to educate the people of the nation to
the great need of more ships and
through them to bring home to con
gress the dire necessity for a recodif-
cation of our maritime laws, SO that
the foreign shipping proposition
may be made sufficiently attractive for
American citizens to invest their CAPT
tai, labor and lives therein.

The utter lack Of In efficient Ameri-

brought home to the nation through
the medium of the world wide war nov
raging. While the question Of the urg-
ent need Of American ships to carry
American manufactured goods and
farm products has been agitated for
years, still the average citizen has felt
that the matter was OF no special in

That we have been derelict In our
duty, as a nation, In not providing leg

a great merchant marine is just be-
ginning to be understood by the people.

Through the desire and need for
American supremacy on the high seas

Only Powerful Navy Can Safeguard Us Against Invasion

There is middle course for the United
States. We must play the game as a World
Power and other nations are playing the
game. To get fair play we mus. provide our
selves with the weapons with which they are
providing themselves. II we do not. we shall
be brushed aside with a ruthless hand. and
shall find our commerce circumscribed on every
side by inimicaI spheres of inhuence-dead
lines over which we shall not dare to pass.
1t is necessary for US not only to fortify the
Panama Canal, but also to maintain navy OF
sufficient prowess to enable US to reach that
Canal at all times, and under all conditions,
for it is indispensable that we maintain com.
munication with our defenses there.
Should we become involved in war with
England or Germany. the navy of either being
more powerful than ours, we should be imme-
diately isolated from the Panama Canal zone.
Similarly, Japan could successfully blockade
the Pacific approaches to the Canal.
We have, at enormous expense. cut a great
waterway through the Isthmus and established
a snort route between the AllduIc ana the
Pacific The Canal is our property Other
nations of the world may use it. We generous
ly built it for the worlds welfare. 1t will,
however, be valuable in time of war for the
passage of our warships; in fact, it will be
vital necessity to US. But our ability to it
for that purpose will be entirely dependent
upon the ability of our Navy to keep the sea
clear of enemy's ships at either end.
The war with Spain was very useful, because
it brought the truth home to us that the COM
mand of the American seas is absolutely vital
to US. Immediately following the Spanish War;
we rapidly built up our Navy, until it became
second only to that of England. But we have,
of late years. been slipping back, until now our
Navy occupies third place, with a likelihood Of
soon dropping down to fifth place.
In 1905. England evolved the great modern
dreadnought which was as much of revolu-
ton over existing types of fighting ships as
was Ericsson's Monitor over the fighting ships

FROM THE SHIPPING AGENTS Have Been Replaced by Action of Canal Zone
 Government

Panama, July 15.-(Correspondence of
 the Associated Press )-The publication of offers by the canal authorities to look
 after all matters pertaining to the in
 terests of ships in canal waters and thus
 practically replacing the many shipping
 agents on the isthmus has aroused a
 storm of criticism and resentment among
 the latter Their number has been aug
 mented by the several banking houses
 in Panama and Colon since the Panama
 canal fiduciary officers also are pre-
 pared to look after the tolls payments
 without the intervention of banks and bankers.
 In a pamphlet just issued by the Pan- anna canal for the information of ship pers and containing sailing directions which will enable the ship owners to avoid having agent on the isthmus, it Is specifically declared doing business through an agent on the isthmus never facilitates vessels passage through the canal.
 Quoting from the issue of July ', of the Canal Record. which contained an article on the same subject, 1t is stated: Tn fact the interpretation of a third party in the arrangements for a vessel which Is simply passing through the canal Is liable
 to result in confusion and delay It is then pointed out that the Panama canal
 and the Panama railroad working con- jointly have perfected simple and ade- quate methods for handling all such busi-
 ness as purchasing and delivering stores.
 water, fuel, cables, mail and payment of tolls
 The local bankers object rather heatedly to the statements in the same pamphlet and issue of the Canal Record wherein
 the canal officials declare it is unneces-
 sary to employ local bankers to look after tolls payments. thus saving the small commission that would acrue to
 the bankers. The pamphlet outlines meth ods of making deposit with the various assistant United States treasurers in the
 United States from which tolls can be
 paid, either direct to the collector of the
 Panama canal, through the aid of the Panama railroad.
 With the opening of the canal and the cons equent increase in shipping the canal
 zone ports there has been an increase in the number of steamship agents. The same holds good regarding banks. several
 new ones having been established by both
 foreign and local capital in the terminal
 cities.
