STIRLING QUESTIONED ON OUR
PREPAREDNESS TO Defend CANAL

Washington, Dec. 15.-Preparednes
of the United States to defend the
Panama canal in case of war was the
subject of a series of questions put
to Commander Stirling, commanding
the Atlantic fleets submarine hotilla,
at today's hearing before the House
naval affairs committee. The COM
mander expressed the opinion that in
addition to the navy a large mobile
army would be required to protect
the canal to keep it open.
rs our naval force prepared to give
us control of the canal against navy
of the size of Germanys?" asked Rep.
Farr of Pennsylvania.
Not very we'll prepared" the Off
Ger replied, after some hesitation.
Commander Stirling pointed out that
lack of a base would handicap the
operations of any hostile navy against
the canal. The nearest foreign base.
he said, was Jamaica, a British pos
session.
Questioned about the Pacific coast,
he declared be thought both coasts
of the United States were equally safe,
as long as the canal could be kept
open for passage of the fleet.
do you think the Pacific coast is as

agement of commercial interests and
for the benefit of those so associated.
The advantages of active cooperation
come in the lower prices paid for ar
ticles used in the home and on the
farm and for the increased price re-
ceived by selling the product of the
farm directly to the consumer.
THE transportation question is Of
vital Importance to the farmer, and
so far as the getting of products of
the farm to the customer is concern
ed, it begins at the farmers front gate.
Therefore, better roads are necessary
in the developing of Names undeval-
oped resources The Grange has an
important part to play in the work OF
improving our roads.
The obtaining of intelligent and
competent help upon the farm is
problem which must be solved. Electro
cal power must be made the servant
of the farmer in performing the work
formerly delegated to and performed
by hand labor.

the nations on the Atlantic side. AL

Francisco is fortified and so is San

The commanders testimony as sub
marine commander that the battleship
was the prime factor in naval defence
attracted earnest interest from the COM
mittee He said that he believed the ul-
innate development of the battleship
would be of more offensive rather than
defensive type. that it would shed part
of its armor to facilitate speed. The I'LL
innate development, he thought. would
lead, to a type Of a submarine of 1000
tons, an armored 2S-knot sea-going ves-
sci to accompany the battleships where
they go as a terror to the enemy's battle
ships.
Describing the condition OF the IS sub
marines under his orders, Commander
Stirling said he could get all into active
commission on comparatively short no.

to have the Arizona state prohibition
law declared invalid were filed today
in the United States district court. In
functions were asked to prevent the
dry amendment going into effect Jan.
