FOR A DEEPER CHANNEL.

The recommendation Of the war department
that $2,1 100000 be spent in constructing a
twenty-five foot channel through the Staten
Island sound is received with the greatest
qualification in this section. There is no water
way in the country that deserves Improvement
more than the waters between Staten Island
and the New Jersey shore.
Twenty-Five feet through Staten Island
sound, however, cannot be used to its greatest
advantage unless there is a deepening of the
channel up Raritan bay, from Sandy Hook to
this port. With a thirty foot channel across
the bay and a twenty-five foot channel on up
the sound, the boom for this immediate section
cannot be over-estimated. It is to be hoped
that congress will act favorably on the recon-
.mendation of the war department, regarding
the channel for the Staten Island sound, and
that a thirty foot channel in Raritan bay will
soon follow. The improvements in this Sec
ton warrant such an expenditure on the part
of the government, and the people are asking
only what is due them when they urge such
an appropriation.
Perth Amboy evening news., 1912-12-16
GUNBOATS AND BATTLESHIPS.

Some criticism is being made of the adj
ministration at Washington for sending a
battleship to Santo Domingo, because of a
little disturbance that has broken out there.
1t is pointed out that the country needs more
gunboats to look after our interests in the
various harbors of the West Indies and South
America; that it is foolish to send a battle
ship on such an insignificant errand.
1t is interesting to note, however, that in
the Mediterranean, where a great war has
been in progress between the Balkan states
and Turkey, and where many American citiz-
ems have been in peril, the great United States
has been represented most of the time merely
by a little gunboat, the Americans there de-
pending almost entirely on foreign troops
for protection. Here is where not only one,
but several battleships could nave been of
great service in properly representing this
in such a crisis. But it seems that
this is where a gunboat has been stationed,
and at such a little place as Santo Domingo,
only a gunboat is necessary, a battle
ship is dispatched. 1t looks as if there should
be some kind of an organization in the gov
department to balance things up a
little better than this.
