Get Through Canal Under Conditions Of
, Warfare. =: -.

The simulated battle between Army,
and Navy forces in the Panama canal
region to test the strategic. possibfli-.
ties OF the waterway were explained
last night by Secretary of War John

through radio station WRC here.
The maneuvers have brought
forth virtually the entire peace-time
strength Of the Navy, supplemented
by strong landing force of marines
and, the 5000 men Of the canal garri-
son. Secretary Weeks sketched the
situation faced by the rival COM
rushing south under orders to pass
through the canal and join the Attain
tic fleet in order to beat off an ex-
pected naval attack on the Atlantic
coast.

held up and prevented from reaching
the Atlantic side of the canal for
.eyen a week, the War Secretary said.

Since its birth, sixty-two years ago,
the Great Northern has played lead

Northwest, its enormous expenditures,
directly aiding the business activity
Of the territory it serves, being but
one of the outstanding evidences of
its good citizenship.
Taxes paid by the Great Northern,
in 1923, tctaled $9,113,2 ,226. Material
and supplies required an additional
expenditure cf $56,662,800. every dol
