ANCON, Canal one. Dec. iS.--
Stronger Notifications for the Pana-

American military and naval men
here.
Military leaders among the Amer

that some day the Unite states must
fight for the Panama canal. They
argue that commerce Is the root OF
al war and that gradually the world
will waken to the fact that In the
Panama canal the United State holds
the key to the success or failure OF
"a large proportion OF world COM
merce.
President-clect Harding and his
party on their recent visit here saw
tho Notifications OF the Panama
canal and they heard suggestions
that greater Notifications are neces.
sary. They were noncommital. but
II was generally evident that some
of the members, Of the party were
impressed by the need OF more fortt-
cations.
