USE ANCIENT FOOD.
Fort San Lorenzo says the Wash-
ington Star for many years one of
the important units in the defenses
of the Isthmus of Panama during
the days of the Spanish occupation
of most of the western hemisphere
is again to serve in the capacity of
defending one of the most important
trade routes of the world the Pana-
ma t'anal.
This time the ancient fortress will
be manned by soldiers of the United
States who will serve modern large
caliber guns with ranges ot' more
than twelve miles. The new fortifi-
cations which in a measure prob-
ably are to replace the ancient ones
will form one of the main defense
links of the great Gatun locks at
the northern end of the canal.
Old Fort San Lorenzo or rather
the ruins thereof stands on a high
bluff at the mouth of the Rio Chag-
res and overlooks the town of the
same name and the shallow harbor
which on numerous occasions shel-
tered the ships of Christopher Co-
lumbus and the Spanish eonquista-
dores who came .er him and de-
\eloped Wie Isthm. s of l'anama into
one of the greatest trade routes in
the world of that time. Acros
was transported that vast amount
of treasure that flowed from the
Americans into the treasury of the
Spanish kings at Madrid. The Kio
(’hagreg was one of the routes across
the isthmus ami for that reason was
defended at its mouth by the im-
portant and heavily garrisoned fort-
ress San Lorenzo.
