men NEEDED
FOR COAST
DEFENCE

Washington, Nov. S-Brigadier General
story. chief Of artillery, u. s. A, in his
annual report 20 General Chsffee. the
chief Of stan, dvells upon what he re-
CARDS a the most urgent demands OF the
coast defences. He says that the best
and most economical use of the entire
armament for the coast requires one com
plete relief 10 man each and every ele-
ment Of defence. and adds
1T is inconceivable that congress. after
appropriating millions for national de-
fence would be willing, ~ its attention
were drawn 20 the fact. 10 leave these
defences ineffective for want OF a proper
organization 10 man and conduct them.
ITO secure az the present time" he con-
tinues, the greatest measure OF naval
safety. at the least cost. the entire
torpedo defence OF our harbors should at
once be made complete"
Continuing. Gen Story says: III we
were suddenly confronted by war no
amount OF money could procure sub
marine mines IN time 10 be of service for
our harbor defence"
Even with complete material for torpe-
do defence. the report continues. II Is
practically valueless without a trained
personnel carefully instructed how TO
operate IL and today we are substantially
without such a force.
Gen. Story saws there has been devel-
oped in our coast artillery system OF
fire action. which as far as he can as
certain is not equalled in the world, but
It's accomplishment depends upon the
standard equipment, which il not COM
pletely installed in any OF our harbors.
and he says that they hsve 10 improvise
In many harbors means OF position md
ing in order TO conduct artillery practice.
The poor showing made by the Russian
coast artillery at Port Arthur against
the Japanese feet has caused surprise"
the report recites. but the explanation
IS that the artillery there when the ranges
are 10 600 TO l2-no0 metres does not shoot
at all or shoots without results"
The report adds: 1T would be impos-
sble II we have our position finding
equipment completely Installed, for hos
tile vessels 10 remain 10000 or 1900
metres from our batteries or Pinch guns,
or mortars for two or three hours and not
be destroyed. I regret, however, 10 have
TO say that even at this day most OF
our fortified harbors are not better sup
piled than apparently is Port Arthur.
If a war was to break out we would
not have the trained force required 70
serve our guns effectively. However,
good our guns are. yet one-half OF them
would not be OF much more use than so
many tons OF inert metal"
Gen. Story Is OF the opinion that tho
field artillery falls is batteries short Of
the number tactically needed for the pres
ent infantry and cavalry organizations
and In this connection says:
There Is no first-class power which has
so systematically neglected It's field ar
tillery as the United States"
In his judgment. the experience Of the
Russo-Japanese war shows the foreign
practice OF having about four guns per
1000 men is better than the one proposed
for our service.

FALL RIVER

He said there would be a conference at

Chadwick's interest, but declined to say
who would appear at the conference or
give the hour IL would take place.
George Ryall OF counsel for Herbert d.

COLLEGE LOAN REPAID.
Oberlin. Ohio. Nov. 30.-President Henry
Churchill King OF Oberlin college. re-
ferring today 10 the report that Mrs.
Cassie L. Chadwick had secured a loan
from the college last winter amounting TO
SIS, 600 said:
Mrs. Chadwick does not owe the
college a cent on the loan in question. II
is true that we did make her a loan. but
IL was later taken up by President Beck
with OF the Citizens National bank here.
We loaned the money TO Mrs. Chadwick
on representations made by Secretary and
Treasurer Ira Reynolds ~ the Wade Park
Banking company OF Cleveland, TO the
effect that Mrs. Chadwick had deposited
In that institution United States steel cor
poration stock which in value amounted
10 several times the loan in question.
I'VE made the loan on the assurance
from Mr.. Reynolds that the security was
gilt-edged and absolutely safe. The loan,
together with the interest, was paid when
the note became due.
Some time ago Mrs. Chadwick, through
President Beckwith OF the Citizens Ma
tional bank of Oberln. voluntarily sub
scribed S25o00 TO the endowment fund OF
Oberlin college and gave us her note for
that sum, payable Jan. ! next In view
OF recent developments, however, II Is
probable that the college will not receive
this money"
