What Prominent Pebble
Say About Roosevelt.

idealistic and WIN practical polit-
ical success, HS was popular, not
because he catefNl to popular pre-
judices, but because he appealed
by his deeds, even mofa than bv>
his words, to the best that is in
every man. My personal indebt-
edness to him for wise cousel, ms
piring spirit, and affectionate
friendship cannot adequately Sx
press.
ABRAM I. ELKUS:
In the death Of Colonel Roose+
velt the nation loses one who has
rendered great and efficient nu-
bile service, and who has by his
work elevated public service TO
high degree. He not only served
America and its people, but he did
similar work for the whole of h'l-
manity. His greatest characteristic
was his boundless energy, which
at times led him into errors but
which accomplished great aims.
HENRY FAIRF IELD OSBORN:
Colonel Roosevelt was one of my
dearest friends. | had known him
since he was boy. In addition to
that, his death is a great professio-
nal loss, much more than the world
may realize at once, because his
political career so overshadowed
all other phases Of his activity. M
tural history was really his great
gift. 1t was his first love as d boy,
and he turned to it again his late
years. 1t was as well his favorite
Idiversion.-(To be continued.

the focilities of the canal dry-dock
and shops were available for re-
pair work, with probable saving
of time and cost. The force of
men orgenized for normal condi-
tions was small for the increased
volume of work, and recruitment
of additional men from the States
was difficult on account of the
demand for men in the shipbuild-
ing trades. In many instances
overtime work was necessary and
the employees responded without
complaint. Extensive repairs on
the cruiser squadron of the Pacific
feet was completed and repair
work and alterations were per-
formed from time to time on 90
vessels of the United States Navy
and so vessels of the Shipping
Board. Damaged interned Ger
man ships from other ports were
brought to Panama and repaired

SON:
| regard the death Of Colonel
Roosevelt as am irreparable loss.
During the war he devoted all his
time and all his energies to help
ing the people in Europe and the
American soldiers. He fairly brea-
,thed patriotism and his whole life
was devoted to the cause, / do not
think any call was made upon him
for war relief that he did not
heed. | recall that I was lunching
with him a the Harvard Club just
after the death Of his son and a
friend came by and condoled with
him. Colonel Roosevelt's reply, in
perfect sincerity was: Haven't |
splendid sons? One has ust died
for his country and two are in the
hospital think Colonel Roose.-
velt's efforts sapped his strength
and caused his death in his coun-
try's cause ust as much as ifa he
were shot in battle.
DIR. LYMAN ABBOTT:
The greatest service which Mr..
Roosevelt rendered to the country
was that by his public utterances
and still more by the spirit which
he put into public administration
he raised the whole standard o!
honesty and purity in American
political life. He did this largely
because he proved by his extraord-

Panama Canal Kept Safe all Through
War Period by Close Watch or Aliens,
Says Governor in Report.

The War Department authorizes
the following statement:
IN a special report to the Secre-
tary Of War. Col. Chester Hard
ing, United States Army, Govern
or 1of the Panama Canal Zone,
tells Of the measures taken to safe
guard the canal during the period
of hostilities.
The vigorous measures taken at
the time Of the breaking off of
diplomatic relations with Ger
many is believed to have prevent
ed enemy agents from effecting
injury to the canal.
All Aliens Closely Watched.
A list of all aliens was compiled
and with the assistance of the Pa
mama authorities these were close
ly watched until they were intern
ed. Passengers and members OF
crews of ships transiting the canal
who where of German citizenship
were removed from the vessels be-
fore entering the canal and tran
sported under guard over the rail
road to reboard the vessels after
their transit of the canal. The
operating tunnels of the locks and
spillways, the electrical generat-
ing stations at Gatun and Mira
flores, the radio stations, dry
docks, and shops, bridges, piers,
dynamite magazines, water reser-
yoirs, and, in general essential ca
nal properties liable to damage,
were guarded by the Canal Zone

service and later were used as

Aided By Civil authorities.
In all measures taken to safe
guard the Canal, active coopera-
ton was extended to the Canal
authorities by the Panama civil
authorities. AS the result Col.
Harding is able to report that the
Canal was operated and maintain
ed during the period of the war
without mishap or delay to YES
sells using its facilities; that no
acts of injury or destruction were
committed against the Canal or
any of it's structures that there
Ihas been no strikes or other signi-
ficant labor troubles and that
throughout the period of the war
| the Canal and Panama Railroad
employees in general maintained
a highly patriotic attitude and
showed by every means within
their power their willingness and
desire to support the Nation.
Their contributions to Red Cross
funds and to other organizations
under Government auspices for
! welfare work for the benefit OF
| troops, and in particular the gene
rous subscriptions to the various
Liberty Bond issues, were highly
commendable.
Contribution by Employees.
| Their contributions and sub
scriptions to these several activi-
ties were as follows:
Liberty bond issue, first loan. $326,9OO
Liberty bond issue, End. loan. 549.S5O

More than three and one-half
million tons of war materials,
! such as nitrates, explosives, tung
sten, wolfram, iodine, and. borax,
were carried through the canal
j and many. allied and United
States ships were refused and pas
sed through the canal.

way.
AS TO the electrical disturbances,
there IS no reason TO expect any OF
these. either. George Ellery Hale, di-
rector Of the Nj. Wilson Observatory,
an eminent American investigator Of the
subject. has not yet found any relation
between planetary motions and sun
spots, which are mainly electrical.
Therefore, we may very safely say that
the situation on December Il will be no
exception TO this rule.
There Is absolutely no scientific
foundation for predicting any OF the
other phenomena such as riots, which
have been described as possibilities. We
can rest assured that our lives Will re-
main untroubled on December i7 by
anything which could be traced 10 the
