Let the nation shed a tear at the grave of this hero of peace.
(Boston Globe, Dec. 8, 1913) SACRIFICED HIS LIFE Fate, seemingly unkind, decreed that Lieutenant- Colonel Gaillard should not live to participate in the 107 final triumphs of American engineering skill on the Isthmus of Panama.
The faithful servant is dead.
The guns will thunder and the bands will play in time to come as the ships of many nations pass in procession from the Atlantic to the Pacific, formally celebrating the marriage ...of the oceans, but he will not be there to witness and enjoy the spectacle.
Literally it is true that he sacrificed his life for his country. ...
We suggest that Culebra Cut might well be re- christened Gaillard Cut to perpetuate the name and the fame of the man who dug it.
(The Buffalo Enquirer, Dec. 14, 1913) The country has had no martyr of exactly the Gaillard kind before. " Culebra" means nothing to this country. It is a name that can be spared. " Gail- lard " means much. It should be placed where the country will ever keep it in mind.
