PANAMA CANAL WELL GUARDED, OFFICIALS SAY Army, Navy Deny Charges of Publisher, Tell of Defenses. Bv I nitrrl /'rru WASHINGTON, Dec. 21 -The Army and Navy today rushed to the defense of the Panama Canal. High officials of both services declared the Army and Navy can and twill defend the ranal in all emergencies, whether in time of war or Os pear* This was the answer to assertions bv Net-on Rounsevell, publisher of The Panama American, that "twenty men, willing to risk their lives for tfteir country, could blast the Panama Canal n pieces in 12 hours and block the channel for months." H'Kh Army and Navy officials, while displaying keen interest in Mr ftounseveli s statements, believed he htd over-estimated the possibilities of an attack and under-esti-mated. the measures taken for prolee >n of the big ditch " Neithe; George H. L)ern, Secretary of War. nor Claude A. Swanson. Secretary of the Navy, would comment for publication on Mr. Rounsevells statements for fear of being drawn into a public controversy, but they indicated they were not in accord with all of his statements. Mr. Dern said every precaution is being taken against isolated attempts bv "cranks” to put the canal out of commission, even temporarily. Army officials said it would lx* ph vsicallv impossible to prevent one such person, carrying a small amount, of high explosive, to slip through the line of guards and. possibly, do real damage to one of the canal locks. Army engineers said that, to put the canal out of commission, evsn temporarily, it would be necessary to destroy simultaneously the gates of both the east and west bound channels of a single lock. The type of sabotage against which they said it would be almost impossible to guard would be the passage through the canal, from opposite ends, of two vessels heavily laden with mine explosives, to lx* detonated almost simultaneously when these two vessels pass each other In the locks. Another serious damage, according to army engineers, is possible from hostile aircraft. Hostile aviators willing to sacrifice their lives, might get close enough to the canal to dive at the locks with a plane loaded with explosives, and might well succeed in putting the locks out of commission temporarily, they said. To guard against such a possibility the War Department has planned the erection of steel "nets" over each lock of the canal as soon as funds for the purpose are available. Officials hpre believed the greatest danger to the canal is the possibility of damage to Gattin Dam. Recognizing this danger. War Department officials of the Panama Canal Government have placed extra strong guards around the structure, it was stated. HELP OLD SANTA—CLOTHE-A-CHILI)

X-RAY SEEN AS CURE IN SLEEPING SICKNESS Trial on Mire Indicates Treatment May Prove Successful. Bv f ail' and I’re ** NEW YORK, Dec. 21.—The Xray as a treatment of sleeping sickness was viewed with hope by medical science today. Dr. Samuel A. Goldberg told scientists he had obtained favorable results with X-ray experiments on

white mice tnnoculated with the same sleeping sickness virus that caused many deaths in St. Louis last year. Experimenting at the Newark <N. J.) Presbyterian Hospital, Dr. Goldberg and assistants apparently cured 20 out of 40 mice subjected to the mysterious disease. The other 20 lived longer than 40 mice given the virus but not treated with Xray. All the untreated mice died. He reported the experiments to the society for experimental biology and medicine, meeting at Willard Parker Hospital.
