! MORE EFFICIENT

Definite System Now Being
Worked Out by the Coast

~ NE Of the first acts Of President
Wilson if this country is called
~ upon to prepare itself to meet
the possible attack Of a first
class power will be to bring the coast
artillery arm of the national defense
up to the very top notch Of efficiency
AS a matter Of fact, this work is al
ready under way, and all one has to
do in order to realize that this is so is
to read the reports of the chief Of the
coast artillery corps and those Of spe-
cial boards and others to whom is in
trusted the working out of a definite
and reliable system Of defense for
Americas long seacoast lines, the plans
embodying not only the manning and
armament of the great Notifications,
but also the land supports Of those for
tifications, says the New York Times.

great ports could be mined within
twenty -four hours after the declaration
Of war. The scheme Of mine defense
has been carefully worked out for near
ly all the great seaports, and those
which have yet to be included within
the approved plan of mine defense will
shortly be provided for. It can be
stated without violating any conf
dence that among the cities the mine
defenses of which are already worked
out and ready to be placed in opera
ton are those of Portland, Me-; Ports
mouth, N. H.; Boston, New York, Phil
adelphia, Norfolk, Charleston. New

How Guns Are Manned.

Now word as to the proper man
ming of the great guns and mortars
that form the backbone of the coast
defense Of this country. As already
stated; the hope Of the war department
has been to half man these guns and
mortars with regulars and to depend
upon the national guard coast artillery
organizations for the personnel that
would be required to bring the man
ming Of them up to the maximum
strength needed. But the hopes Of the
war department have not been realized
in either instance, and the national
guard, instead Of being able to furnish
the one-half personnel expected Of it.,
cannot even furnish one-fourth the
quota desired. .s.=-..
There are in the coast artillery de-
tachments few positions that could
be filed by men with little training,
such as for instance, ammunition de-
tachments, the details of which the or.
binary citizen could master in a few

last winter the plans were laid for
the taking of Constantinople as the
means of breaking Germany and
Austria from their Moslem alliance.
The preparations of centuries have
had their effect in checking the diff
fcult operations. but the resources
of the world are behind the present
attack.
The scholars of the modern world
are watching the progress toward
the famous city with the greatest of
interest. The buried treasures of
centuries are believed to be again
available when the city falls. For
when the scholars of the early days
fed into Eastern Eusope and set up
our modern civilization, they left
behind them storehouses still un-
touched. The belief that the Turks
have not destroyed the ancient libra
ries lends hope to the opening up
of vast treasures OF knowledge.

ed States Government concerning
Germany's submarine warfare.

the principles of the London decla-
ration, He places the American
Government on the defensive to an
swer for 'the criminal light-minded-
ness" which allowed its citizens to
sail on a steamer carrying ammuni-
tion and exposed to the attack Of
German submarines.

Roman Empire crumbled before the
invading hosts of barbarians from
the north and east and the inroads
of the Turks from Asia.
When Mohammed took the city
462 years ago, cannon were still in
the experimental stage. Moham-
med had a cannon made to the d.
ameter Of two and one-half feet, and
used stone balls. He had 10000
men, while the Christian force had
been depleted to 5000. The Turk
fish feet consisted of $40 vessels.
The Christians were short of gun
powder, and every repulse they in
fiicted on the Turks brought nearer
the day of their own downfall.
Battering rams, cannon and H.
guild fire were used constantly in
the attack upon the half-ruined
forts. and at one time the Turks
sent forward wooden turret on
rollers which was destroyed. A
Christian squadron of only FIVE ships
repulsed the Turks in desperate
naval engagement. though Moham-
med himself. sitting on his horse on
the beach. yelled reproaches to his
sailors and even spurred his horse
into the sea.
Mohammed conceived the despe-
rate operation of carrying his ships
overland from the Bosporus into the
harbor. In one night the Turkish
fleet was thus transferred. The OF
toman cannon demolished the Greek
forts in forty days. and the final as
sault began ON the morning of May

hero. A pitiless sack ofthe city be-

dares to hope for a friendly recep-
ton of the German note in the Unit
ed States, but he expresses the be-
lief that in the end the American
Government will, as in the case of
Great Britain's similar negative re-
ply to an American protest, subject
the German answer to much consid-
Grafton.
In conclusion Capt. Persius says
Time will pass and the opportunity
will be given for cooler considera-
ton of the Lusitania case. The
cries of horror over American wom-
en- and children will die down, and
/ hope the views of peaceful neutral
persons will gain the upper hand. 4"
