CANAL ZONE POLICED
Reiterates His Request to Govern
ment Fofr Two Torpedo
boat Destroyers
By Associated Press
Washington t>. C., Dec. 14.—Colonel
Goethals. governor of the Panama Ca
nal Zone, to-day reiterated his request
that two torpedoboat destroyers be
sent to canal waters to prevent vio
lation of neutrality through the misuse
of wireless and the taking on of sup
plies by belligerent vessels.
Dispatch Kept Secret
Because of the confidential nature
of Colonel Goethals' dispatch. Secre
tary Garrison declined to make it pub
lic. He issued this statement:
'The substance of the dispatch is
that in Colonel Goethal's Judgment the
misuse of radio communications within
canal waters and the prevention of the
misuse of these waters as a base of
supplies require the presence of swift
moving ships of the variety mentioned.
Since the questions involved require
the consideration of the State Depart
ment and the Navy Department as
well as my own, I have taken the mat
ter up with the other departments,
and as soon as the requirements are
fully ascertained proper action will be
taken to meet them."

! The Red Cross division, which will
benefit from the candy sales to-night,
follows the well-known work of the
Red Cross Society throughout the
world, collecting funds to send surgi
cal iind medical aid to all the com
batants and the hospitals, and organ
izing branches for the manufacture of
supplies so desperately needed.
The appeals for aid which have
been cabled to the American Red
Cross by the foreign Red Cross or
ganizations have been frantic and
heart-rending as well as numerous.
They cry eloquently and piteousl.v for
surgical and hospital supplies and for
surgeuns and nurses. We heard of
one hospital where there are 900 men
and not a single garment to give them,
only their own tattered rags. We
heard from a nurse in Servia early in
August, when the war had only begun.
She said there were 10,000 wounded,
1 only a few nurses to tend them, and
, it was not possible to dress the wounds
> more often than once a week. Thev
were short of bandages and every rag
was saved and washed, no matter
what its condition. Anaesthetics were
i exhausted and men were dying daily
from lack of medical supplies.
The flowers were donated by Flor
ists Urennenian and Miller; the candy,
choice homemade varieties, by mem
bers of the Red Cross committee; the
paper bags by C. Studemaker, and
the cups by the Johnson Paper Corn
, pany.

: FOR DISTRIBUTION
Manufacturing Saves Money by
Mailing Catalogs From
Central Point
Attention has been called to St4el
ton's advantages as a distribution point
by a large Indiana wholesale house.
This llrm, manufacturers of .Masonic
uniforms and emblems, shipped by
freight last week 1,500 of its new cata
logs to Joseph Bricker, its local agent.
Bricker then mailed the catalogs by
parcel post through the local post office
to all parts of the Eastern United
States. Steelton, it appears, is the
exact center of a large area covering
the eastern states and just reaching
many of the big eastern cities in the
parcel post zone. By this manner the
company saved several hundred dol
lars in postage.
Postmaster 41. M. Cusaclc has com
pleted arrangements for the Christmas
rush. Two extra wagons will be put in
service next Monday to care for the in
creased earcel post business. No extra
men will be employed, but the regular
carriers will be allowed to work over
time.
Already one of the biggest rushes to
over. During last week there were
about 150 parcel post packages a day
sent from the local office to Austria,
with a few to Italy.
