COAST ARTILLERY

WASHINGTON, Dec. with all OF

United States scacoast defenses by tfe
Endicott board twenty-sevcn years ago
nearing completion, the army faces
serious problem in the TACK OF artillery

situation was brought TO the attention
of the war department today in the
annual report of Brigadier General Z.
NJ. Weaver, chief OF coast artillery,
He reported that his corps had less
than one-fourth OF one relief available
for permanent duty in the batteries,
and the organized militia was not pre-.
pared to furnish its required quota OF
reserves.
All of the Notifications planned by
the Endicott board have been com
posed batteries at Cape Henry to de-
fend Chesapeake bay and San Pedro,
Cal, the port OF Los Angeles, which
has been added to the ports to be de-
Tended.
Appropriations already have been
made for these projects.
For the home ports Of the United
States General Weaver said there now
remains to perfect in the gun defense
only the completion of the supply OF
ammunition and the extension OF the
StanQQTQ llTC EuHlIOl VteA
searchlights; and these are being sup
piled at satisfactory rate.
The corps is at present short AIT oftl'
GERS and 1880 enlisted men of the
strength required to man the defenses:
To add to the difficulty, he pointed
out, heavy drafts must be made upon
the corps to man the oversee defenses,
and after they have been provided for;
there will remain but $40 officers and
1867 regular coast artillery troops for
the service Of the gun batteries of the
continental United States,
The last report shows, General
Weaver added, that the militia coast
artillery available is composed Of only
1877 companies, 46S officars and 7243
enlisted men, and ne recommended
therefore that the states be urged to
provide their due proportion OF coast
artillery troops, and that congress be
asked to provide the necessary number
of troops to man the defenses.
Special firing with mortars, the re-
port said, has demonstrated that q di-
rector of fire several miles from bat
terry can obtain very accurate results.
General Weaver remarked that this
fact opened up new field in the ap-
plicatiou of such fire to cover remote
water areas and the landward approaches
to coast forts.

EARNEST PLEA
MADE FOR MEN
AND VESSELS
Captain E. P. Bertholf, Com
mandant of Revenue Cutter
Service, Reports to Secre-
tary of Treasury.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7.-An earnest
plea that congress have more regard
for the needs of the revenue cutter
service and that it provide more vessels
to render aid on the high sens. tho
great lakes and the Ohio and Missis-
sippi rivers, was made to Secretary Nc"
Adoo today by Captain E. P. Bertholf,
commandant Of the service,
Captain Bertholf set forth in detail
some of the things done by the service
In the last fiscal year in saving lives
and property endangered by shipwreck
and disaster. By it's efforts, he re-
ported, 327 lives were saved, 27oo per-
sons on board vessels in distress were
assisted, and vessels valued at $1O,6OI,-
71O were assisted In time of need. In
the year officers Of the service boarded
and examined papers Of 25,079 ships
and dealt with $40 violations of the
laws. The cutters removed or destroyed
thirty-one derelicts and recovered ana
returned to owners others valued at
$4,000.
Cost Is Very Small.
All this was done for S2,471 ,562,
about $4,000 less than congress appro-
priated, although twenty-five cruising
cutters and eighteen harbor vessels
were employed, Figured on monetary
basis, the service saved about $4.3O for
every dollar expended
The report urges the replacing Oh tne
cutters Perry, Woodbury., MannaS.ah
and Winona, with modern vessels esu-
mated to cost about S925,00O In all.
The Perry was lost in Berlng sea IN
1910. The Woodbury. is a veteran or
forty-nine years, the Manhattan OF
forty wears and the Winona of twenty"
three years service.
The proposed successor to the Perry
would be used in southern CallfornIa
waters, the heir to the Winona would
cruise in the Gulf Of Mexico, and the
Manhattan S place would be taken In
New York harbor by the , fourth neM st;SI
ship. Many other old vessels are SUI
useful, but need expensive repairs to
increase their efficiency.
Vacancies Untitled.
The point is made by the command
ant that the service is In critical SIT
uation regarding the recruiting OF It's
commissioned personnel. Seven vacan-
cies exist which cannot at present be
filled. Congress is urged to authorize
seven additional cadet ships in 1918,
and to make permanent authorization
in the following year for twenty one
cadets and cadet engineers.
Captain Bertholf commends the pro-
posed consolidation Of the revenue cut
ter and life-saving service into the
coast guard, declaring that 1t would
result in increased efficiency. He rec
ommends the establishment Of supply
depot in Alaska, preferably at Dutch
Harbor, stating that it would mean an
annual saving in coal expenses alone
Of about $4,000.
Only through strict economy and IN
many instances reductions in crews and
restriction of operations, says the re-
port, was the service able TO get along
on the appropriation given last year,
CIT is therefore earnestly requested, -
