STRENGTH OF GIBRALTAR.
Its Overwhelming Effect Upon an
American TOurIHt.


There is no doubt that Gibraltar is,
| from the nature of its location, the
strongest fortified spot on EARTH" said
recently returned tourist, but the
English officers who are on duty there
seem impressed with the idea that
there is some weak spot about the
place and that some American may
discover it, They have very uonsensi-
cal rules and regulations governing the
fortification. and one of them is that
no American can be admitted To the
fortified places, though they are al
lowed 10 wander all around the outsids
as long as they care to.
Il do not think rhe combined guns of
the rest of the world. all working to-
gether and for y hours each day, Sun
days and public holidays included. fol
one year, could seriously interfere with
Gibraltar beyond cutting off the mail
communication. The walls are solid
rock quarter of a mile thick. and
such a thing as doing any damage in
military sense would be simply nom
sense. Gibraltar could resist any at
tack, and the conditions there are such
that the attacking party would neces-
Sarily have To be exposed in making
its attack. This exposure would have
to be within range Of the guns of the
fort, even if they are 90 years out Of
date. Consequently they would be
nearly as effective as modern guns,
for with all that is claimed for modern
warfare there probably never will be
any fighting done when the opposing
parties are out of sight of each other.
while all this is admitted by mill
tary men of all countries. il seems
funny that there should be anything
of a secret or hidden character about
Gibraltar that Americans should not
be allowed to inspect as freely as the
people of other countries are. Eng
land may he whipped some time in the
history of the world. but the defeat
will not take place at Gibraltar, l as

genuine interest in his well being
Provision is very wisely being made
for the future in the matter of manning
the warships with well drilled and eff

direction is the construction of the
new home at Coaster island in New
port harbor, for naval apprentices, the
contract for which has just been let by

which must be completed within the
next five months. represents the latest

With the great growth in the navy
during the last year or two the problem
of securing ordinary seamen of the right
sort has been pressing one, and the
naval authorities have redoubled their
efforts to put into training large num-
bers of boys for sea careers. securing
them at an age when they most easily
learn and are most readily induced to
adopt a naval life. This plan is pre-
ferred by the department. except where
there is urgent and immediate need for
