WAR SECRETARY WANTS
UP-TO-DATE FLYING MACHINES
Also Asks For Expenditure Of $1e,546,
$40 To Fortify Panama Canal.

WASHINGTON, Dec. l0.-As might
have been expected, after his personal
flights in aeroplanes in France, Score
tary Dickinson comes out in his an
nual report with a strong Endorsement
Of the flying machine and with rec
concentration TO congress for an APP
preparation TO provide .he signal
corps with a reasonable number or
the better type Of machine for instruc-
ton purposes and field work.
The secretary calls attention 10 the
fact that the entrance TO Chesapeake
bay, one OF the most important points
strategically on the Atlantic seacoast.
is wholly unfortified. not single gun
being mounted to defend the channel
between Cape Charles and Cape Hen
ry. AT another important point-the
eastern entrance TO Long Island sound
additional guns are needed.
Except for these instances. so far as
guns are concerned. the sea coast de-
lenses at all home ports are. in sat
isfactory state, but much remains TO
be done in providing such auxiliarles
as searchlights and in developing the
fire control system, which will require
about 100000 OF expenditures.
Congress Is asked to authorize an
expenditure of $19,546,S43 for the for
tification of the termini OF the Pana-
ma canal, including the construction
of posts for the permanent garrison.
and $7,000,000 OF this sum should be
made available Immediately to COM
plete the project within three years.
The additional sum Of $2,00O.000 Is
also wanted Immediately to be APP
piled toward the creation of naval
establishment in the canal zone as
necessary part OF the defense OF
the canal
The secretary notes with gratifica-
ton a reduction by 30.6 per cent in
the number of assertions last year
compared with the preceding year.
Altogether there were 3.464 de-
sertions, or a percentage OF 1856 of
the strength OF the army, which was
less than any fiscal year since 1899.
This is believed to be the result of
the effort made by the department in
the direction Of prompt and vigorous
pursuit OF deserter by means prac-
tically certain to result In his appre-
hension and subsequent punishment
as a military convict.
The death rate in the army last
year was the lowest that has occur.
