ST. LOUIS, Dec. 10-Let the prowl-

right hand raised, he will never again

but far as the well-known and the
justly celebrated hobble is concerned
that once is over and there will be no
encores. Life, he contends, is short
at best, and why place the neck in
jeopardy?
Policeman Kern was assigned to the
task Of decoying prowler Of the night

one day loved and lost a cook, and,
moving to St. Charles, had set about
kissing all cooks, young, old happy,

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 10
Through the comment of military ex-
merits yesterday upon the statements OF
commemorative A. p. Gardner before
the Economic Club, an enlightening
discussion was obtained of precisely
What the position of New York and
other coast cities would be in case the
United States found itself at war with
Arst-class power.
Undoubtedly the people Of New
York would have good ground for fear
hrt the danger would lie less in a
commandment Of her coast defense or
T., an aerial raid than in land attack.
Nou York is defended by 12-inch coast
aofepse guns and mortars. The guns
nave range of probably 10000 yards.

The mortars theoretically can give

as the guns are concerned, they are
outclassed by the latest types of naval
guns, both in calibre and velocity.
Coast Defense Guns 0utclassed
1t is admitted that the coast defense
guns at New York and at every other
point in continental United States are
outclassed by the guns afloat, and are
out of date. The last revision of coast
defense was mapped out in 1905 and

armament have been made which the

Cape Henry Defenses Weak.

It is the effort of the coast defense
to keep its guns developed in accord
ance with progress in naval armament
The defense in continental United
States is now behind and sooner or
later further development will be nee
essary to bring the guns up to the IA
inch caliber, or possibly to the 16-inch
being developed, at Sandy Hook. The
experience of the battle Of Tshushima
taught military experts that fighting at
maximum ranges is more effective
than might be thought, since it was
shown that much damage can be done
by the explosion of projectiles even
when their force is insufficient to
pierce armor.

Attack By Land Easy.

Military experts seem unanimous in
this opinion, that the navy is the first
defense of the United States, which
must be overcome by the enemy before
any bombardment of the coast cities
could be attempted or before an inva-
sion could be attempted.
The easier and more likely course of
attack, if the navy were disposed of,
would be from land. Instead of enter
ing in the face of fire from the coast
defense guns, the enemy could more
easily effect landing at an unfortified
spot and attack the objective city from
the rear. To prevent this only a mo-
bile army would suffice, and that is
the greatest military need of the Unit
ed States today, in the opinion of most
experts. If the American feet is de-
cisively defeated, they say, it would pc
an easy matter for the enemy to con-
duct rapid invasion of any coast ter
ritory in the United States. With an
invading army established in New
Jersey, New York would have little ep-
portunity of holding out.
