PANAMA CANAL OPENS
By Frederic J. Haskin
[Continued From Editorial Page]
ment pastures. The commissary de
partment already uses 800 head
monthly, and the demand is steadily
growing.
The Health Department is also busy.
It may be said to have practically
eliminated malaria and yellow fever
from the canal zone, and is now turn
ing; its attention mure particularly to
Bubonic plague. The quarantine, of
course, is a pretty certain guard
against this terrible disease, but the
canal zone is in constant touch with
infected ports by reason of the traf
fic passing through the canal, and the
health officials are determined to take
no chHnces. Hats are the great car
riers of bubonic plague. Hence all
the government buildings have been
made rat proof. But that is not all.
Recently the edict went forth that no
chickens were to be kept within the
limits of the canal zone. There was
a howl of protest from the employes,
many of whom kept a few chickens on
their premises. They loudly asserted
that the anti-chicken proclamation
was a violation of individual rights.
The government was polite, but firm.
It issued a long statement explain
ing that rats were above all fond of
cjiickens, and were invariably found
where chickens were kept. It would
be absurd to risk an epidemic of bu
bonic plague for the sake of a few
eggs and broilers. So now the chick
en has disappeared finally and com
pletely from the Canal Zone.
When Governor Goetlials returned
to the United States not long ago. he
saijl that the defenses of the Canal
Zone made it safe Trom any attack.
With international complications aris
ing both to east and to west of us,
and only one real first-class navy to
defend both coasts, the safety of the
Panama Canal is a most important
consideration. Its coast and harbor
defenses have long been considered
very adequate, but army officers have
asserted 'hat it was far from impreg-
"able by land. More troops, they de
clared to be necessary, and troops have
been pouring into the Canal Zone in
small detachments for nearly a year.
A few weeks ago a squadron of the
Twelfth cavalry reached the canal zone
from Galveston. They arc the first
mounted troops to be stationed at the
canal. The second battalion of the
Fourth Field Artillery .soon followed
them. The canal garrison now in
cludes all of the three main branches
of the service, and is generally con
ceded to be strong enough for its
purpose. Owing to the nature of the
country, and the strong coast defenses,
the taking of the Panama canal by
land would be difficult under any cir
cumstances. There are. however,
stretches of open country, reaching
north and west from the zone over
which an invading army could ad
vance with great rapidity, and troops
are needed to guard these.
