LAWYERS LEAVE
FOR THE HAGUE

Washington, May Ex-senator Root
with party of learned international
lawyers will leave Washington Friday
for The Hague. Besides the senator,
there will be Chandler Anderson,
George Turner, Samuel J. Elder, James
Brown Scott, Charles B. Warren and
Robert Lansing. They are associated
counsel with Senator Root, charged
with the presentation to a special tri-
bunal, which meets at The Hague, OF
the case of the United states, against
Great Britain in connection with the
New Foundland fisheries.
Based upon a claim by the Gloucester
fishermen of their right under the
treaty of 1913 to take fish and bali
within the territorial waters OF New
Fcundland, the case is really of much
greater international Importance thar
at first.
What really is involved is the righ'
of British colony to curtail the rights
conferred upon a lien by treaty. Il
might easily follow that II The Hague
tribunal should give the right to New
Foundland to restrict rights conferred
by the treaty upon Americans, ther
the ravious American states and foreigi
possessions might do likewise, involv
ing the parent government In serious
| complications. s4

WuI Carry Ten Miles

The 14-inch guns will carry at least 10
miles, therefore, the western entrance of
the canal will be protected with radius
Of 13 or IA miles, a greater distance than
any from which modern battleship can
make effective fight. Gen. Arthur Murray.
| chief of the coast artillery. recently said
| that with one 14-inch gun and an effective
| fire control he could do better work than
with three 10-inch guns without the fire
control The four 14-inch guns are equal,
| therefore, to a battery of u 10-inch guns
| in times of war. and few battleship fleets
now carry anything heavier than 10
| irch guns. and 1t is a large fleet that
| has more than IL of such guns. 1t Will
be seen, therefore, that the western en-
| trance of the canal will be protected
| against any hostile feet that might APP
proach.
But in addition to the guns Of the forts
or the island, the water between these
outposts and the mouth of the canal will
be threaded with lines OF submarine
mines. some to be worked by electricity
| fiom the forts. others which will explode
by contact This system Of submarine
defense will be more elaborate than any
ever devised for the protection of por'
or harbor Two torpedo boats at each en-
trance of the canal will be about the onl,
floating defense that will be constantly
maintained to guard the canal.
On the caribbean sea side, the eastern
side Of the canal. the plans of defens'
will not be so elaborate. The inland fort
will have. In addition to the batteries o
small guns, four of the great H-incl
guns. The system Of submarine defens
J will not be SO elaborate. nor will thu

The inland garrison posts will be locat

termini of the canal and at each of thes
posts will be located a SUFFICIENT numbe

tire length. These men will look 70

When opened to navigation the canal
will bristle with the most modern and

work out. While the plans for the forth
fication of the big ditch can be given
