u. S. CANAL MENACED
PRESIDENT WILSON URGES PAN
ANA PACT BE RATIFIED.
Blames Aid Of kaiser-Senator Over
man Says 100000 Spies In tho
U. s.

Washington, Feb. 21.-President
Wilson has sent a letter to Chairman
Stone of the senate foreign relations
committee urging action during this
session of congress on the treaty to
indemnify Colombia for the separation
from Panama.
The presidents request is said to
have been based on fear Of complica-
tons that may arise on the Panama
canal If the relations between Germany
and this government result In war.
The president is said to have made 1t
clear that German agents In Colombia
are already active with view TO max
ing trouble for this government along
the canal.
The failure of the senate, through
the opposition OF Republican senators
led bys Senator Lodge, TO ratify the
treaty whereby Colombia was to re-
ceive $l5,0OO,OO0 in payment for the
loss of Panama and the canal rights,
has. 1t Is said, aroused much hostility
to this country among influential per-
sons In Colombia, Of which the German
agents have not been slow TO take ad-
vantage.
Opposing amendments by Senator
Cummins to temper some Of the
stringent provisions Of the espionage
bill pending In the senate, Senator
Overman of North Carolina declared he
had been told there were 100000 spies
In the United States and that 1t was
absolutely essential that drastic laws
he enacted to protect naval stations,
submarine bases and other national de-
| lenses.
| Senator Fall, Republican, Of New
Mexico. argued for stringent laws and
declared that the government Of the
United States was on trial for ETH.
cheney to perpetuate itself.

Blble-quoting Is all the more effec-

how come out of 1t unable to quote a
line from the Bible. And yet they are
sufficiently familiar with 1t to be able
to feel the force of quotation or an
illustration, and the rare individual
who knows his way through the pages
Of the book can easily catch their sym
pathy.
Why should almost universal instruc-
ton in the Bible result in genera
ton that does not know the book? Why
should rote lessons on Hamlet" and
