In view of the fact that the national
capital was once taken and burned by a
foreign enemy il is r%eassEring to know
that a calamity so humiliating is not
likely to occur again, even in case of
sudden war.
Washington is the best defended city
In the country. A hostile feet could
not now ascend the Potomac, rs was
done in 1914, when President Madison
and his wife were compelled TO make a
hurried escape across the Potomac to
avoid capture by the British.
For military and prudential reasons
little has been allowed TO be made
known concerning the new works and
the heavy ordnance recently installed
below the city, but for some years en-
'Kgineers have been busy at the river
forts. Some very formidable guns are
now in position there. and a system of
torpedo defenses has been perfected
which would render the approach of an
enemy's warships within 12 miles of
Washington practically impossible.
The defensive works are located at
the ''elbow," or turn, of the Potomac
I where old Forts Washington and Sheri-
dan stood, and where at one point the
channel for vessels Of deep draft is but
300 yards wide.
The guns are protected on the water
side by emplaccment walls of stone and
Concrete 40 feet thick, and on the land
side by redoubts for infantry.
The rapidly increasing wealth and
importance Of Washington, the grand
new public buildings and the vast sums
If money and bullion in the treasury
render these protective and defensive
measures a matter CT national impor-
lance End necessity .--Youth's Compan-
