In equipping the Panama fortifica-
lions with the most powerful gun in
existence the board of Notifications
has well defined plan in view. There
is no doubt in the opinion of military
authorities that with 14-inch guns
coast defenses are more than an equal
to battleships with guns of the same
caliber.
What is sought by the war depart
ment and the joint board is to equip
the Notifications with such powerful
guns that the enemy's fleet can be
kept so far from the canal that it
cannot drop shells or pro1ectiles into
the waterway. A large projectile fred
over the Notifications dropped into
one Of the locks OF dams might close
up the canal for year or so. The
forces on the canal must not only keep
the enemy from reducing the fortifca-
lions but from doing damage to the
waterway, .,-.,-,.~.

WASHINGTON.- there has
w been distinct revival here of in
terest in banking and currency legisla-
ton. There are at least three reasons
for this, which may be enumerated as
follows:
1. The announcement that an organ
izat1on to be known as the National
Citizens league is being formed to ad-
vocate some sort of federal reserve as
sociation.
20 The organization In New York
city of the National City company
with capital stock of 100000 as an
adjunct of the National City bank, and
Tor the purpose Of acquiring and hold

3. The movement on the part of the
1nsurgent Republicans in the senate,
and supported by some of the Demo
Gratis. to compel the national monetary
commission to close it's affairs and re-
port to congress not later than Jan
uary 1, 1912
The activities mentioned would in
dictate that banking and currency leg
islation will become live topic in the
autumn, and probably will receive
much attention at the next long ses-
sion of congress. It is not believed,
however. there will be any legislation
soon. The prevailing view is that it
will take congress several years to de-
eide what 1t wishes to do about the
creation Of a national reserve asso-

Plans for the Canal Fortifications

GIBRALTAR may be robbed Of the
VI distinction Of being the most i'm
pregnable fortress in the world If the
plans of the fertilization board in the
Panama canal zone are adopted. As
preliminary, looking toward this end
the war department has ordered the
16-inch gun now stored at Sandy Hook
proving ground to the canal zone
Although the gun was constructed ten
years ago, no more powerful weapon
has been produced in the world. It's
range is beyond 16 miles and its pro.
tectiles. aero-torpedoes, weigh 2,4O0
pounds, and could easily destroy a
battleship before it reached a point
near enough to do damage to the canal

way. Later on more guns Of this cal
tber win be placed there.
Super-dreadnaughts, according to the
calculations Of ordinance experts, can
be sunk easily by the 16-inch gun at
distances of 16 miles from the mouth
of the canal. This is not the limit of
the range Of the great gun, but it is
about as far as hits" can be made,
even with the aid of range finders,
which are to be installed in the forti-
fcations.
The projectile of the gun is virtually
an aero-torpedo. It will weigh 2,40O
pounds and will carry about $50 pounds
of high explosives. There is not the
least doubt that even at an extreme
range Of Is or 16 miles the projectile
will penetrate the heaviest armor plate

Among the most frequent requests
that go to the United States senate
are those asking some prominent
member to give money to charity or
CARNATIONS, hospitals and other phi

gravely; "but Judging from the num-

,/cOWCRESS y

THE special session of congress
] came to an end with many inves-
legations unfinished, leaving many of
the committees that were conducting
inquiries to report next winter.
When the senate voted to conduct a
second investigation into the election
of Senator Lorimer, the expectation
was that the inquiry could be finished
in time for report from the commit
tee at the special session, but the best
this committee hopes for is to be pre-
pared to make its report when con-
gress reassembles on the first Mon
day in December. The assumption is
that, whatever the report of the COM
mittee may be. the senate will desire
to discuss 1t at great length.

business men, merchants, manufactur-
