PACIFIC FLEET
. PASSES SAFELY
THROUGH CANAL
Naval Value of Waterway
Proven Beyond Doubt
Statement of Staff. Chief
Following Performance.

Aboard the U. S. S. New Mexico.
July 26.-(By the Associated Press)
-Four dreadnaughts of the Pacific
feet, the New Mexico, Arkansas,
Texas and New York. were lifted
successfully through the Gatun locks
Friday. This was the first attempt
TO negotiate the waterway with a
feet of dreadnaughts, and today the
warships lie anchored in the fresh
water Of Gatun Lake. IS feet above
sea level. The dreadnaughts will
resume their trip toward the Pa
cihc ocean Saturday, at which time
the Mississippi and Wyoming, now
coaling and oiling at Colon, will
commence the passage of the canal
The old battleships Georgia and
Vermont joined the fleet at. Colon
Friday. After the New Mexico had
oiled at Colon, she swung lazily
into Limon Bay, creeping slowly
through the first cuttings of the
waterway amid dense jungle growth
like some weird amphibian in a pre-
historic swamp.
Nearing the locks the crew flung
landing lines cupboard which quick
ly drew in broad steel cables that
led to the electric mules running
on tracks on each side of the locks.
The whole operation seemed to func-
ton automatically, for not an order
was heard as the dreadnaughts
slipped into the lower locks as easily
as shuttle into sewing machine.
The steel gates astern the flagship
then closed like great jaws and
churning water rose up from via
ducts in the bottom OF the lock while
the New Mexico was lifted as easily
and rapidly as row boat. The flag
ship was then lifted out of the next
two locks in the same fashion, while
crowds standing on top of the con-
crete lock walls threw bananas and
cocoanuts to the ships crew.
Twenty destroyers went through
the canal, passing through the locks
in groups of 10. Captain Twining,
chief of staff, said that the canal had
proved its naval value beyond
doubt, as dreadnaughts may be cas-

Pacific with celebrity and without
trouble, as shown by today's opera
ton. The Pacific feet will leave

History tells us that back in the
early part of the sixteenth century
Ponce de Leon, a Spanish explorer,
after much of wandering and much
of living came to believe that there
must be hidden somewhere among
the imperishable flowers a fountain
Of perpetual youth,
He dedicated, if we remember
rightly, his life to the quest and in
his search discovered what is now
Florida.
Further than this we have forgot
ten our history. In fact, the most
of us have forgotten Ponce de Leon.
He didn't make a very deep impress
sion upon US, because, being gray

our contemporaries, we felt a dub
iety for Ponce's famous fountain.
But we are changed. Quite
changed. Quite. We believe in
Ponce de Leon. We believe in his
fountain. We believe in his eccent
ric quest. We will go further, we
believe that if he didn't find the
fountain of youth George Brandeis
did. We MISUNDERSTANDING have
seen and talked with George Bran
deis.
We met him on the beach at Krug
park, just after he had taken a dip

in the sterilized, sparkling water of
the new swimming pool. And al
though he claimed he had been liv-
ing strenuous life we must confess
he looked younger by years.
His figure was that of an Adonis
and the merry twinkle in his eyes
found only in enthusiastic youth
told lis that he had really found this
wonderful fountain of youth and
that he felt the same enthusiasm and
determination as when a boy-that
he could go forth and conquer the
world.
