THE NATIONAL DEFENSE
 ON THE PACIFIC COAST

From Army and Navy Life.
 It is undoubtedly assumed by 99 per cent of our citizens who give the matter any consideration whatever, that the coast defences of the United States are in a high state of perfection. This Is far from being the case, and it has been so stated repeatedly by officers Jof the War Department in their annual freports, and before the Military and Appropriation Committees of Congress. .sAs an officer has put 1t.
 We are in the samef state that man would be who, havngfs2, 900 to buy an out fit of personal clothing. had bought doz- ems of hats, coats, vests, shirts shoes, etc.-in short, many things-but had found when all his money was spent that he was short of socks, collars and trousers We have rlenty of harbors fortified ; we have manufactured hundreds of guns art.carniages, and built hundreds of bat teres as fine as any in the world; but there is no fort or harbor in the Unlted States where the defences are complete where all the necessary power houses searchlights, fire-control stations and sub marine material have been supplied, and without which the system will be fail- ure. The whole is like a football team without a center rush and no quarterpack like trolley system without a power house, and with the track laid only at intervals
 The records eloquently illustrate the reason for this-the indifference of the people in time of peace and their hyster- ical activity during war, and for a very brief time subsequent thereto. By an act of March 3, 1895, Congress authorized Q joint board of Army and Navy ofhcers ansi cfvilians-known as the Endicott Board-to draw up a plan for the defence &afA plans of this board have formed the pa- sis of all subsequent appropriations by Congress. President Roosevelt convened a new board on January 15. 190o-known as the Taft Board--to revise the plans or the Endicott Board. The report Of the Taft Board, while not yet formally ap- proved by Congress- will form the basis
