Army Engineers Satisfied With
Waterway-Defense Plans.
RESULT OF DEEP STUDY
Work Embodies All That Human
Foresight Can Produce.

Power Possessed Under Treaty With
Panama to Fortify the Neigh
boring Islands.

Army engineers are satisfied that the
Panama canal will be made impregnable
notwithstanding adverse European COM
ment upon the sufficiency of the defenses
under construction.
The Notifications on the Pacific side were
planned by the ablest minds in the army
and navy. The joint board. composed of
half a dozen Of the ranking officers Of
both services, first made a careful study
OF the military and naval problems in
volved nearly five years ago. The tenta-
tive plans then laid were placed in the
hands Of experts. including Gen. Crozier,
chief of army ordnance: Col. Goethals,
the canal builder. and himself an army
engineer: Maj. Gen. Arthur Murray, then
chief of the coast artillery, and a num-
Der of able subordinate officers. 1t is he-
Iieved at the War Department that their
work embodies all that human foresight
can produce at this stage.
Nays Efficiency Doubled.
President Roosevelt. President Taft and
the Secretaries of War and Navy in office
since the canal project was undertaken
all are on record as declaring that the

the American navy by enabling it to pass
freely from one side of the continent to
the other in time of war. 1t is true that
a small minority of naval officers felt that
the waterway might also be menace if
it should fall into the hands of an enemy
but the great weight of naval opinion re-
mains unchanged.
There is no fear that the Panama de-
lenses could be attacked successfully
from any of the islands outside of the
present zone A distinctively American
device. the disappearing coast defense
mortars, unknown in practice to Euro
pean critics, will be so placed as to rain
a fire of twelve-inch shells upon the decks
of any fleet that sought shelter behind
the outlying islands.
May Fortify Islands.
But even if that were not sufficient the
United States already has power under
the treaty with Panama to take posses
sion of and fortify Taboga and Taboguilla
islands If they shall become a menace
to the existing Notifications. Article two
of the treaty in exact terms confers upon
the United States the control "of any
other lands and water outside of the zone
which may be necessary and con-
venient for the protection of said
canal.
