Phelan Writes of
Mosquitoes and
Heat in Panama

Walter A Phelan. one Of The
News-Times men who has enlisted
has written a most interesting let
ter from COrozal. Canal Zone PAN
anna, where he is in service with
troop r of the 18th L. 5. cavalry
He says that the heat is intense
and that the slightest exertion is
almost unbearable. while strenuous
drilling under such conditions is
we'll one can imagine easier things
Besides the heat there Is one other
we'll known feature OF Panama
which forces its attention on the
inhabitants, no matter how much
they try 20 repulse IT, New Jersey
is famous for its mosquitoes. but
the fellows in Panama say that If II
has anything on the zone they will
STAY away from New Jersey.
Panama city, the largest city on
the isthmus. is three miles from the
post, COrOzal and the soldiers are
admitted without passes. The
houses are built on funny little
supports. about three feet from the
ground. These supports are set in
a concrete base and each base is
filled with an oil to keep the pois-
onOus reptiles from getting into the
houses. The main streets of the
city are about half as wide as the
streets of South Bend, while the
side streets are well likened to
some OF our paved alleys. Another
curious thing is the fact that traffic
follows to the left instead Of TO the
right.
The government buildings in
Panama city are very fine struc-
lures, while the tenement district,
where the Negroes and the lower
class of Spaniards live, is worse
than anything in the states.
Mr.. Phelan. who is a son of Mr.
and Mrs. Edward Phelan, S13
ILawndale av.. enlisted some time
lago and was detailed for service
in Panama almost Immediately.
