Coast Defense and Field Artillery Def
cient In Men and Material.
Washington, Dec. 17.-"Both the coast
and the field artillery are badly def
cient in both personnel and material.
Neither is in even approximately prop
er condition for instruction in time Of
peace, much less in condition for rea-
sonably efficient service in war. and
the time necessary to put either in the
latter condition is not matter of days
or weeks, but of years"
Brigadier General Arthur Murray,
chief of artillery, thus sums up the
condition of his arm of the service in
his annual report. He says it cannot
be too strongly urged that appropriate
legislation be obtained.
The total cost of the present system
of coast defense to Feb. 27 last was
2,750,S53, and the estimated cost to
complete the defense, including esti-
mates for ammunition and cost of sites.
is $50,ST9, ,339 The three elements Of
defense which viii secure the greatest
measure of public safety at the least
cost, General Murray says, are the
completion of the installation of the
approved system of range and position
finding for all guns and mortars
mounted. the providing Of necessary
searchights for harbor defense and the
completion of ihe submarine mine
equipment Of all fortified harbors,
The proper defense of insular ports
and the entrances TO the Panama canal,
it is estimated, will cost SIS, ,S95.

AnticerlcaI Demonstration In Rome
Alarms Authorities.
Rome, Dec III. Thousands of demon
Btrators friendly to France and of anti
Vatican tendencies gathered in the pi-
azza adjoining the Farnese palace, the
seat of the French embassy, in an en-
deavor to express their pleasure at
Frances action toward the church of
Rome.
The whole garrison of the city was
employed to face the demonstrants ard
protect the Vatican, which is sur
rounded by cavalry. Bridges leading
to the apostolic palace are barred by
troops.
All the streets leading to the Farnese
palace are protected by soldiers with
fixed bayonets.
The demonstrators, led by dozen
Radical Socialists and Republican
members of the chamber Of deputies,
including Prince Borghese, after vain
" attempting TO break the Gordon, pro-
yided themselves with candles and
formed into a mock procession, inton-
ing the miselere as an indication of

A commission of the demonstrators
was received by NJ. Barrere, the
French ambassador, who expressed his
appreciation for the sympathy of the
Roman people
The government endeavored by all
means to prevent the demonstration.
The stand that the government is TAX
ing is that, although Italy is friendly
to France, she does not wish to take
sides in the dispute, especially when
her relations with the church are bet
ter now than they have been since

Pearson Carson of Trenton always

he carries a large sum of money.
Carson, with others, was on the stage
when just outside Of Yardyille three
passengers presented themselves. Two
miles farther on one Of the new pas
sengers, Edward Bannon, called the
stage drivers attention to one of the
traces. 1t was wrongly adjusted "I'll
get down and fix it." said Bannon.
While he was on the ground his two

to the horses heads, while the two
others, standing close to the drivers
seat, poked the business ends of two
huge revolvers into the stage and said,

The hands of the passengers went
up promptly. Then the leader of the
three highwaymen compelled the driver.

the passengers to follow his example.
