PERsHlNG MAY SUCCEED.
Washington Shocked by News Of the
Death of Funston

Washington. = Maj.-Gen. Funston's
sudden death came as a great shock
to high officials of the army and to
President Wilson. He was one Of the
most distinguished commanders of the
service and one of whom greater
things were expected in the future.
The youngest major general of the
line, vigorous and apparently health
full, he had been counted on by his
superiors for many more years of ac-
tive service.
Maj j.-Gen. Pershing, who has been in
command of the Ell Paso district since
the withdrawal OF the American expe-
dition from Mexico, automatically will
succeed to the duties of commander of
the southern department until an ap-
ipointment has been made. Recently
made major-general, he is the only
officer Of that rank now assigned to
the department.

Panama canal show that the number
of ocean-going ships which made the
transit through the canal in the calen-
dar year 1916 was 2,253. Their aggre-
gate net tonnage was 3.933,S69 tons,
and they carried a total of 4,931, oil
tons Of cargo.
The number of ships was seven per
cent greater than in 1915, but in net
tonnage, tolls and cargo the record
for 1916 was little less than one per
cent less than 1915. The two years
had about the same bulk of traffic, and
both saw the canal closed for a period
Of three and half months.
The tolls collected in 1916 were 49,
677,695.60. which was not equal to the
expenses. The ships in the United
States coastwise trade were slightly
over three per cent of the aggregate
tonnage IN 1916. In 1915 they were
one-fourtn of all the traffic. and in
1914 they were two-fifths.
