TOO FEW GUNNERS
TO MAN RIVER FORTS
Artillery Forces Wholly In
adequate TO Protect City
From An Enemy

The artillery forces at Forts Du-
Pont, Mott and Delaware are wholly
inadequate to man the guns in event
OF hostile forces coming up the Del
aware river, according to an admis-
sion by Major Harry l.. Steele. of the
United States Coast Artillery, in
charge of the Delaware district. in
which the forts are located
Major Steele says there are about
425 men in the three forts There
should be 400 artillerymen. Of the
present detail 225 men are at Fort
DUPONT, about fifteen at Fort Della
ware, which is in the middle of the
river on Pea Patch Island, and the
remainder are at Fort Mott, on the
New Jersey side. below Salem. The
three forts form a triangle with Fort
Della ware the apex upstream.
Major Steele. temporarily in charge
of the district. in the absence of Lieu
tenant-Colonel Daniel Ketcham who
is in Washington, said that in case of
an attack by hostile ships he did not
know whence men could be drawn
He declared practically all the coast
forts were undermined about 80 per
cent. He said nothing could be done
until the complement of men allowed
in the Coast Artillery is increased by
at least 1000 1t would take at least
a year, anyway, TO train these men in
coast artillery work. he explained.
"In case of an attack" said Major
| Steele. there is no fort near where
we could draw men Fort Washing
! ton and Fortress Monroe are both un-
dermanned. The same conditions ex-
ist at New York. We could not use
men from the Philadelphia Navy Yard
because of their unfamilarity with
the work in the forts ] do not know
/ of any time when the complement of
I men at these three forts was lower
\ about two years ago we had ten
\ companies of about 1000 men, sta
toned at the forts. They included the
I Fourth, Thrty-sixth, Eighty-hrst
Forty-ffth. Fifty-ffth, One Hundred
and Twelfth and One Hundred and
Thirty-ninth Companies. The Eighty
first and Forty-fifth Companies were
sent to the canal zone about a yeal
ago and last September the Fifty
iifth Company was sent to the Philip
pines. Recently orders were receiy-
ed for the Fourth and Thirty-sixth
Companies to go TO the Philippines
too. They will leave in July This
e means that the One Hundred and
Twelfth and One Hundred and Thirty
ninth Companies alone will be sta
toned in the district They viii b.

, will be sent from there to man th'
!, two other forts. We should nevel
have less than nine companies in this
> district"
Ohicers at Fort DUPONT say tina
hmore than 5000 men would be re
quired to defend the fort from LANE
attack alone. An effort was mad'
sometime ago to have the Delawar'
Militia made a coast artillery re

fort later on will be about enougl

COfNEKDS Wilson
FOR HIS courage
DR.. Green Says President is
Brave in Trying
Time
LAYS WAR TO
FOUR CAUSES

President Wilson was lauded for
his level-headedness since the out
break of war in Europe and in the
present difficulty with Germany by
DR.. Thomas E. Green. who addressed
about 700 persons last night at the
Chautauqua, on the subject; THE
Bhrden of the Nations" when you
people leave here tonight you should
go to your homes and bow your heads
in prayer. and say a word for the
concentrated common sense of Presi-
dent Wilson in this trying time he
said.
DIR. Green declared the causes Of the
war in Europe were four-fold. First,
he said. was the blood hatred be-
tween the Teuton and Slav and the
Servian hatred for the Germans. Sec
ondly, he declared. Russia Is to blame
for the graphing hand which wanted
Turkey in order that Russia might
have an outlet to the sea. Thirdly,
France wanted to revenge itself
against Germany for the losses sus-
tanned in the war of 1871. The last
cause. the speaker said was jealousy
between Germany and England Tor
naval supremacy. The war on a whole,
DR.. Green said. will make bankrupt
all the nations now engaged in the
struggle.
Prior to the address the Mckinnie
operate Company presented a comic
opera which was enjoyed by the audi
/ ence
DR.. Jesse II. Holmes spoke in the
afternoon on "The Prophets to the
| Churches" which was likewise we'll
delivered and received by the audi
ence.
This evening the Chautauqua will
come to a close. and as a fitting eli
max the speaker will be LaSalle Cor
bell Pickett. wife of General Pickett
of the Pickett Brigade. of Confederate
Army fame. who will speak on
Friends of Yesterday"
This afternoon Or A. e. Turner
will speak on Rebuilding Your
Town" The Strollers' Male Quartet
will be the attraction at both ses-
sions.

tone of resignation to the will of the

where victory crowned their aspira-
