If you see either lady slipping
quietly into a steamship Office
or hear on good authority that
either one Is about to follow her
husband back to their native
land, then you'll know things
are really getting serious.
Incidentally, both of the am
bassadorial wives who have been
left to hug the hearth alone are
unusually handsome and very
popular.
Significantly. today's report OF
Secretary of War Woodring to
the President starts with an op-
timistic note, the efficiency Of
the protective mobilization plan
Of 1888, and, in its conclusion,
swings sharply to peSsimism
when Woodring tells Of the i'm
mediate. peril created by made
quate defenses of the Panama
Canal.
Sudden war would find the
troops in the Panama Canal in
an especially precarious situa-
ton" warns Woodring. "The
defenses of the Panama Canal
must be strengthened. All locks
and dams on the waterway must
be strengthened. The possibility
of sabotage by crews of ships
must be completely eliminated.
We must greatly augment our
air forces and anti-aircraft az
tillery. The Pan anna Canal
must be made impregnable."
It's a certain bet that the
next Congress will give the
Army all it wants for Panama
defense-just as it will appro-
pirate whatever is asked for in
the way of naval expansion and
rearmament.
But there also will be diplo-
matte benefits in Central and
South America to be gained by
the object lessons of making
the Panama Canal q mightier
fortress than it is today.

Of Missouri, a potential Demo

1910.

jority in the face Of Republican

demanded wisdom teeth for the
Neutrality Act, provisions to make
it more mandatory upon the Presi

Men in public life are called
