MUST FORT|FY THE CANAL
German Expert Points Out Weak
ness OF Our Divided Fleet.
PERIL OF THE PHILIPPINES
Islands Exposed to Japanese
Must Guard Isthmus Against
Land and Sea Attack.

Berlin, Feb. 20.-ColoneI Gaedke. the
well known military critic. discusses in
the "Tageblatt," from a military point
OF view. the fortifcation of the Panama
Canal. He says that the United States
military position in the Pacific is very
unsatisfactory. owing to lack of war;
ships, which are practically concentrated
on the Atlantic. In case of war with
japan, he says. the Philippines would
fall a prey IN a few weeks, and points
out that Pearl Harbor, in Hawaii. could
also easily be captured. Everything de-
pends for the United States. adds the
critic, on the early appearance in the
Pacific Of the powerful Atlantic fleet.
Colonel Gaedke closes by the asser-
tion that II Is to the most pressing in
terest of the United States to fortify the
canal at both ends--above all, the Pacific
outlet-and that the works must also be
made defensible against land attack.
In his opinion the entrance of the
United States into the imperIalistic
world Of politics entails still further
steps, each of which is the necessary
sequence Of the preceding one.

promise offers proposed by New York I'M

been turned over TO Mr.. Wise for decision.
