MUST FORT|FY OUR COASTS
The President Thinks Our Wealth
May Lead to Naval Attack.
GUNS AT CANAL ENTRANCES
Millions Of Dollars Are, Needed I
Carry Out the Recommenda-
tions Made.

President Roosevelt sent a message
to Congress accompanying plans for
coast defense prepared by Joint
board of army and navy officers In
which he emphasized the necessity
for further defenses and reviews the
history of the defensive works In this
country.
The President calls especial atten-
tiOn TO the recommendation of the
board that the entrance to Chesa-
peake Bay be added 10 the list of
places In the United States TO be de-
Tended. He says the insular posses
siOns cannot be neglected If the Unit
ed States desires to hold them.
Defensos are recommended for Ma
nilla Bay, Pearl Harbor, Guatanamo
Gaum, San Juan and Honolulu be-
cause Of their strategic locations, al
so for entrances to the Panama ca
nal. The message says:
The necessity for n complete and
adequate system of coast defense Is
greater to-day than 20 years ago, for
the increased wealth of the country
offers more tempting inducements tc
attack and a hostile fleet can reach
our coast In q much shorter period
of time The fact that we now have q
navy does not in any wise diminish
the importance of coast dcfenscs; on
the contrary. that fact emphasizes
their value and the necessity for theil
construction.
