General Sibcrt was the builder Of
the famous Gatun dam In the Panama
canal and he has accomplished many
other notable engineering feats, not
ably the solving OF the food problem
in east China, the reconstruction OF
the Philippine railways and the re-
building OF the Pacific coast defenses
There has hardly been river Inn

which he has not been connected.
General Sibert is native OF Ala

was captain OF engineers In the

In building the Gatun locks he was
made brigadier general in 1915 by
the president. His promotion to tho
rank of major general came last June
in recognition of his work on the Pa

when the cigars were lighted, I asked
the poet and dreamer opposite me what
he thought would be the status of mo-
