CAPTAIN MAHAN ON COAST DE-
FENCE.

AS a phiosophic historian of naval
achievements, Captain Mahan has fully
established the right to speak with high
authOrity.As an exponent of strategy
he has frequently laid himself open to
criticism In regard to questions of
coast defence it is rot too much to say
that his admirable books disclose an
evident want of grasp, easily explained
by concentration of thought upon
purely naval operations For this rea-
son it is, unfortunately, possible to
quote him in support of views practi-
cally differing and to utilize the hon
ored name of the author of the 'Influ-
ence of Sea Power on History" to dark
en- counsels,
In the interesting article which you
published on the LIST inst, there are
passages which are capable of an inter-
probation distinctly injurious to the
policy of Great Britain. "A navy"
stated Captain Mahan, lis essentially
an offensive and not defensive organ
ization," and this opinion is reiterated
without any qualification This state
mcnt IS unqucstionably correct in re-
gard to the function of fleets at sea-
In regard to the broader question of the
national policy of great nations like the
United States and Great Britain it is
dangerously misleading. For them as
for all powers whose territories are sep
arated by sea from those of possible
enemies, navy is primarily a defensive
force. A fleet, acting Extensively at sea,
protects the coast line and the maritime
communications of the country to
which it belongs, and thus enables Of
fensive operations, which must be mill
tary, to be carried into effect. In a hap
pier mood, Captain Mahan, the hstori-
an, revealed to us the real reason of
wonderful march from the
coast of Spain to Italy, and in an elo-
quent passage which clings to the
