Island Fortifdcations.

so far as the armament for the Ha-
waiian Islands and the Philippines is
concerned, funds have been appropri-
ated for completing all that covered by
existing projects except four twelve
inch mortars to be mounted in fortifi-
cations at the entrance to Manila bay.
Supplemental estimates have been sub
mitted for providing and installing
these mortars.
For the insular possessions and for
the Panama canal fortif1cations the
prescribed allowance of ammunition is
that deemed sufficient to carry the
guns through a two-hour engagement,
together with special provision in some
batteries for land defense needs. APP
proximately Il per cent OF the pre-
scribed allowance has been supplied
for the Hawaiian and Philippine arma-
ment. The estimated cost of that re-
naming to be supplied is approximate
ly $l.200.0o0, of which amount $4,000
is being asked for in current estimates
Approximately IS per cent of the am
rnunition supply needed for all the con-
templated armament of the Panama ca
nal is on hand or under Inanufa cture
The current estimates under the sunday
civil bill provide funds for bringing
the supply up to about SO per cent Of
thar required. The ammunition supply
to date for the foreign possessions has
in general, kept pace with the arma-
ment as installed.

HOPES j. S. WILL INSIST
ON FOOD SHIPPING RIGHT
Germanys Note Delivered by Count
Won Bernstorff to State
Department.

! Germany hopes that the United States
VIII insist on the right to ship food into
. Germany. acting on the suggestion from
| the foreign office in Berlin that such dis
tribution be made under the supervision CT
! consular officers. The official text Of the
note to this effect delivered by Count Won
| Bernstorf to the State Department is as
| follows:
The federal councils decision concern
| ing the seizure of food products, which
England alleges to be the cause OF food
products shipped to Germany being
treated as contr;lb band. bears exclusively
on Wheat. rye. both lnnixed and mixed
with other products.' and also Wheat,
rye. oats and barley flour
THE federal council makes an express
exception in section As of the order.
Section As provides as follows:
The stipuations of this regulation
do not apply to grain or flour imported
from abroad after January 81
Acts to Leave No Doubt.
'Conjunctively with that saving clause
the federal councils order contains pro-
vision under which imported cereals and
fours could be sold exclusively to the
municipalities or certain specially de-
signated organizations by the importers.
Although that provision had for its OBJ
ject simply to throw imported grain and
flour into such channels as supply the
private consumption of civilians and, in
consequence OF that provision. the intent
and purpose of the federal councils or
der which was to protect the civilian pop
ulation from spectators and engrossers
were fully met. it was nevertheless
rescinded SO as to leave no room for
doubt
My government is amenable to any
proposition looking to control by a
special American organization under
the supervision of the American con-
self make proposition in that direc-
ton.
Cities Self-Administrative
The German government further
calls attention to the fact that munich
palitles do not form part of or belong
to the government, but are 'self-ad-
hainistrative bodies which, are elected
by the Inhabitants of the commune in
accordance with fixed rules, and there
fore exclusively represent the private
part Of the population and act as It
directs. Although these principles are
generally known and OBTAIN in the
United States as well as In England
itself, the German government desired
to point out the fact so as to avoid any
further unnecessary delay.
Hence is it absolutely assured that
imported food products viii be con
sumed by the civilian population in
Germany exclusively, and there re-
mains no ground upon which England
can prevent the expectation Of food
products from America to Germany for
the use of civilians.

LONDON NEWSPAPERS
APPROVE GREY REPLY
Times Calls Answer to Shipping Pro-
test Powerful Defense of
British Position.

= LONDON, February 1S.-The reply OF
Sir Edward Grey to the United States
shipping protest is given hearty ap-
proval On an editorial in the Times
which says:
1T is a powerful defense of the Brit
ish position founded upon those argu-
ments of law and fact which appeal
with particular force to American minds
a day when Germany boasts her in
tention to trample all laws and Gus
toms of the sea under her feet"
No Room for Ideals.
Sir Edwards reply, the Post argues
in an editorial, already is antiquated,
because of Winston Spencer Churchills
announcement in parliament Monday of
reprisals proposed against the German
threat of a blockade. The Post well
comes it, however, as proving that Sir
Edward has come to realization that
war cannot be prosecuted successfully
by indulging in ideals.
Let Germany do her worst says
the Post. She has done the allies
cause excellent service. because her
threats have destroyed the declarations
Of London and Paris and persuaded our
sure of our sea power as it was used in
the days of Nelson"
Reply Warmly Approved.
The morning papers unite in express
ing warm approval of the reply of the
foreign secretary. The Daily News
says
Europe is reeling into barbarism.
The fault is not ours, but the position
of the Washington government is none
the easier for that"
The Telegraph says:
Sir Edward Grey exposes the springs
of British policy with a completeness
which we believe will carry conviction
in America. We hitherto have used
the tremendous weapon of sea power
with every reasonable restraint, but by
Germany's illegal and outrageous acts
We stand defeated in our benevolent
intention. and now it only remains for
the allies to announce the exact char
acter of their measures to increase the
economic pressure on the enemy"

Allowances for Guns.

discussing the ammunition supply for
the coast defense guns. Secretary Gar
rison said the allowance is based on a
quantity sufficient to carry through a
two-hour engagement one-half the
total number Of guns mounted, two
hours having been the maximum time
during which any fort is likely to be
actively engaged against a fleet
facture approximately 73 per cent of
the contemplated allowance of am
munition,' continued the Secretary of
War. 1T is estimated that approxi-
mately s4.3SS,000 will be required to
complete the allowance for the guns
provided. OF this amount 100000 is
asked for in the estimates. About So
100000 will be required to complete
the allowance for all the guns COM

Object of Defenses.

TITS important to keep In mind the
object of seacoast fortifcations in Or
der that we may not get into the habit
OF expecting too much of them, or con-
siderins that they have failed in proper
effect if they do not accomplish what
was never properly to be expected Of
them Their object is to SO defend the
places which they are designed to pro-
tect against direct attack by any naval
vessels as to force the enemy to make
a landing either to effect their capture
or reduction. or to accomplish other
important military purpose. They are
not designed to be seif-defensive
against operations undertaken on their
land side, mother are they expected to
prevent the landing of hostile forces at
other places than those controlled by
their guns. from which to conduct a
lzud campaign.
1T would not only be impra cticable
to defend with seacoaSt fortl6cations
all of the possible landing places upon
the coast of the United States, but 1t
has been considered that the country
possesses abundant resources for deal
ing with any force which may set foot
upon its shores, if it sees f1t to organize
them and make them ready for use and

Emphasis was laid by the Secretary
on the fact that no matter how fine the
forts they must occasionally be

He asked the committee for 100000 to
