In other words, he declared that nc
power would try 10 take the canal
until 1t had first won sea fight
with our navy, and obtained control
OF the sea. lie Is OF the opinion
that 1T would be highly impractic-
able for an enemy to attempt to
land force of troops from trans
ports under cover of battleship fire.
Even If the enemy had defeated our
naval forces. he declared 1t would
always be at serious disadvantage
IN going against the land fortified
tions, and seeking 10 place its sol
diers on shore from transports.
In addition to the land batteries
Colonel Cocktails plan would b. to
maintain at each approach to the
anal an ample aotilla Of small tor
pcd0 craft. such as destroyers and
submarines. These little vessels
would be ample within the radius of
their action to keep off hostile
lieet. Moreover, even II the enemy
should gain control Of the sea at
one end OF the canal, these torpedo
craft could easily hurry through the
anal from the other side and be a
means of serious embarrassment TO
Ia strong hostile feet In fact, un-
til such a fleet Of torpedo craft were
destroyed and put out Of action II
would NOT be possible for an enemy
to land its forces at either entrance
to the waterway.
Colonel Goethals also further
laborated upon his proposition to
lspopulate the canal zone of all per-
ons save military force and the
actual force required to maintain
md operate the canal.

STRONG BATTERIES NEEDED

Washington, Feb. ls.-The prob
lem Of defending the Panama Canal
in the event of war with foreign
power is one which Colonel George
W Goefhals. the chief engineer and
constructor of the marvellous water
way, has recently taken up for dis
cussion with the committee Of Con-
gress
If the United States were a mill
itary nation, Colonel Goethals be-
iieyes that we should maintain upon
the Canal Zona n force of at least
% 900 men. He would keep them
there at all times, and adopt the
principle that those men should be
so thoroughly trained that there
would be absolut aly no duty tina,
would devolve upon them in time o:
war that they would not have had
in time OF peace. But inasmuch as
the strength OF our military force
must be determined and based upon
our present military policy. it will
probably hot he possible to station
en- the isthmus for the defense OF
the canal more than eight thousand
men. including soldiers and marines.
With that number 1t Is the opinion
Of Colonel Goethals. who has made
a most careful study of the problem.
that we will be able TO ward off any
attack which might be made by the
force of an enemy attempting to
land troops from ships of war.
Must Win Sea FIGHT First,
In this connection Colonel Gotah-
ais told the committee Of Congress
that he did not think any naval
commander would attempt to land a
force in excess Of five or six thou
sand men from battleships alone.
