the magnitude and success of the work. I wish our people realized what is being done on the isthmus. If a man of intelligence who had never left this country asked me whether I would advise him to make a short trip to Europe, or a trip to the Panama canal, I would, without hesitation, advise him to go to the Panama canal. He would there see in operation the completing of one of the great feats of modern times. Colonel Goethals and the men working under him are rendering a service to this country which can only be paralleled in our past history by some of the services rendered in certain wars.

Six years ago last spring the American government took possession of the isthmus. The first two years were devoted to the sanitation of the isthmus, to assembling the plant and the working force, and providing quarters, food and water supplies. In all these points the success was extraordinary. WILLIAMSBURG WAIFS. 1 THE IMPRESSION IT MADE Also Dilates on Panama Canal, Its Uses and the Necessity of Fortifying It.

Omaha, September 2 Theodore Roosevelt delivered the following address In this city today: In traveling in Europe last spring one thing which especially struck me was the fact that the two feats which made the deepest impression abroad were the cruise of the battle fleet around the world, and the digging of the Panama canal These were the two feats to be credited to the American people during the past decade, which had most profoundly and favorably affected foreign judgment of America during that time. Such judgment depends not in the least upon what people say they can do, but on what they actually do; upon their willingness to meet responsiblities, most parts of the United States. The quarters, food andVater supply are excellent, and the plant the best ever gathered for such a purpose. Active excavation on a large scale did not begin until January, 1907.

Miss Helen Clark, of the Columbia hospital, Wilkinsburg, nurses' school, is spending a two weeks' vacation with her parents on Second street. To the one time member of the Presbyterian Christian Endeavor society and the congregation generally: Your attention is called to the church announcement in this letter. Oscar Zimmerman, of the Juniata Manufacturing company's force, had a narrow escape from losing an arm in the machinery of the plant Wednesday afternoon. Fortunately the warranted us in believing to be possible, nl 1908 and 1909 the monthly average of rock and earth removed was three million cubic yards, notwithstanding the fact that nine months of each year constituted a season of very heavy rainfall. There remains to be excavated about sixty million cubic yards.

If we could keep up the past average of excavation, this should be done in twenty months; but it is impossible to maintain such a ratio as the depth increases; for the output necessarily di meet them. Now, there is no use of a nation claiming to be a great nation unless it is prepared to play a great part. A nation such as ours cannot possibly play a great part in international affairs, cannot expect to be treated as a weight in either the Atlantic or the Pacific, or to have its voice as to the Monroe doctrine, or the management of the Panama canal, heeded, unless It has a strong and thoroughly efficient navy. Within the last decade the American navy has been about trebled in strength, and much more than trebled in efficiency, due to its extraordinary progress in marksmanship and maneuvering. So far from this increase in naval strength representing on our part either a menace of aggression to weaker nations or a menace of war to stronger nations, It has told most powerfully for peace.

Everywhere in Europe the cruise of the battle fleet around fhe world was accepted, not only as an extraordinary feat, reflecting the highest honor other employes were able, to stop his TOWN STATE minishes as the field of operation nar-orws. Still, it is certain that such a rate can be maintained as will enable the workers to finish the excavation considerably in advance of the date fixed for opening 4he canal January 1, 1915. Indeed, I shall be surprised if the canal cannot be opened six months or even a year in advance of the time set.

No nation regarded the cruise as fraught with any menace of hostility fo itself; and yet every nation accepted it as a proof that we were not only desirous ourselves to keep the peace, but able to prevent the peace being broken at our expense.

No cruise in any way approaching it has ever been made by any fleet of any other power; and the best naval opinion abroad had been that no such feat was possible, that Is. that no such cruise as that we ietually made could be undertaken by a fleet of such size without innum-prable breakdowns and accidents.
