Secretary Taft will not recommend
the change this year, but it IS said by
military men that the tendency Is for
the navy to take charge OF coast ar
tillery and haTbor mines. The plan
is favored by naval and marine ofIt-
GERS who believe the defense from
oversee attack would be thereby ia
cilitated in case of war. 1t also finds
some favor in army circles, OWNS to
the shortage of men for coast defense
which now exists and seems likely to
continue.
The idea of having the coast de-
Tense manned by marines has been
before the government for some
years. 1t has been frequently point
ed ,out that in case of war perfect
cooperation between vessels defeno
ing the ports and coast artillery de-
Tense would be facilitated by placing
the navy in charge of coast defenses.
Laying of harbor mines is also advo-
Gated as coming under the navy's
jurisdiction. The question has been
before congress and has found adVo-
Gates from time to time, but without
legisEat tive action. 1t is believed by
many that the time is now ripe fer
the radical change.
