DICKENS' GRANDSON KILLED. ' LONDON. Set. It. Mater Cedrie Charles Dickens, grandson of Charles Dickens, was tilled in action la France Uonday. ' Until th close of th last century. our interests In th Caribbean wars more potential than tangible. How ever keen our solicitude for its desti nies may have been, not one of its myriad islanda flew our flag or acknow ledged our protection. The Spanish) war gave us our first territorial foot hold in the American Mediterranean, Porto Rico then became American soil, while Cuba, greatest of all the Carib bean Islands and tho portal to our exposed Gulf coast, was definitely safe guarded from all possibility of foreign) aggression. The Spanish war was, howerver, only1 the prologue to a still more momentous departure. In 1904 we acquired our rights at th Isthmus of Panama andv began the construction sf the grea6rl tnter-ooeanlo canal. It is not too mucVwi' to say that future historians will re-' gard this as one of those few truly ' great events which change th whole current of world-history. We should do our best to banish from our minds the picture of th nineteenth century Caribbean. ' That depressing vision' ot ruined Islands rising from a Istharglo sea has gone to return no mora. We have dug the "Big Ditch" at Panama, -and have thereby transformed tha Caribbean from ft dead-end basin Into the greatest ocean highway- of tha world. The results of this transforma tion are startling la their far reaching Immensity.
