GREAT ACTIVITY EVIDENT.
Government Il Rushing Work on Our
Coast Defenses.

Washington, Jan. 13.-New coast
defenses are heing installed and old
ones REINFORCED at Pacific coast points,
Guam, Hawaii and Manila. This work
Of forth Hcation ia being carried forward
swiftly and upon gigantic scale. Coal
depots are being replenished. huge
searchlights installed, harbors mined,
big guns placed and ammunition maya
zineg filled to overlooking.
So quietly has CHS work been going
ON that few outside Of the officials han
ding the work have realized the enorm-
GUS undertaking under way. This work
WAS started last May, and it is expected
that year will see the completion of
the outlined program.
> 1t Is acknowledge that the fortifica-
tions at Manila, Guam, Puget sound
and Honolulu are inefficient and IL Ia at
those points that the greatest work is
being done. San Francisco and other
coast points are declared to be perfectly
equipped to repel attacks.
While not acknowledging any appre-
hension, the administration is rushing
the work with real vigor. 1t was learn
cd from an authoritative source TODAY
that one of the potent factors in determ-
lining the dispatch OF the fleet to the
Pacific was realization of the weak
ness at certain points. The presence OF
the fleet In the Pacific remedies all de-
fects and structural weakness in coast
defense points. As long as it remains
there-it will make up for any short
coming In coast Notifications.
BY the time the feet leaves the Wa
terra OF the Pacific 1t is believed all the
weak points will have been reinforced
and the defenses will be of a modern
and approved type.
Twelve million rounds now enroute
to the Far East furnishes enough am
munition for possible army of 80, 900
men. The normal need OF the army in
The Philippines is about 1000 600
rounds annually. Aside from this there
Is an exceptionally heavy draft Of shells
and tcrpedoes.
