PERFECTING OUR COAST DE-
FENSE.
The fortifications appropriation bill
reported to‘the Home seems to guar-
antee that one branch of prepared-
ness, at least. that. of coast defense,
is to be taken care of. Our coast de-
fenses have been declared by experts
to need for less improvement than the
army or navy. Their deficiencies are
few slid obvious.
It is chietly a question of big guns—-
14-inch and 16-inch pieces able to
shoot from 17 to 21 mllesmto protect
our most important harbors. With
them, of course, there must be provid-
I‘ll antinircraft guns, submarine:
mines and big reserves of ammunition. ‘
The most novel item Of this bill is uni
appropriation to purchase the wonder-E
ful invention of John Hays liarnmond,’
L. which directs and explodes torpe-
does by radio control.
The plan calls for the expenditure of!
886,000,000 over a four-year period. For
next year there is to be spent $22,000,-
000, which is $16,000,000 more than last
year's appropriation. it isn't too much
to pay for the protection gained. if
any'additional money can be afforded,
the public would like to see the gOV-
ernment provide a few movable guns,

pean war, capable of~being transported
