fences Of the northwest coast Of Ger

Leading naval officers. in order to
bring influence to bear on the depart
menf have used the argument that. al
though the almost impregnable fort
resses at HeIfgoland and CuXhaven
offer great protection TO the mouth Of
the EIbe and TO Hamburg, yet should
a single small foreign vessel succeed In
GLIDING their vigilance Il would be IN
a position TO cause enormous damage,
and able to threaten, II not destroy,
the entrance to the canal which is
strategicalIy Of such great importance
On this account a new fortress has been
constructed at Brunsbuttel, and four
extra guns OF large caliber have been
placed in position along the coast In
the neighborhood.
