cent circumstances of diplomatic
maneuvering in foreign capitals, to
brOach the peace subject.

cials are expecting reopening of the
discussion Of peace. Carefully guard
ed inquiries are expected as the first

FOR NATIONS PREPAREDNESS

time my argument on the military
side Of the question fell on deaf
ears. thought it my duty to ex-
plain frankly and FULLY the sItu-
alton as saw IL.
The country is to be congratu-
lated that public opinion has be-
come awakened at last to the ne
cesslty of seriously considering
the problem of defence and. in
consequence. II would seem that
the prospects of congressional
action are brighter than ever be-
fore
without going into the details
of the cost of construction of the
proposed canal. or explaining az
length the many commercial ad-
vantages which would accrue
therefrom. everybody must per-
ceive at a glance that the defence
of the Delaware would be i'm
measurably strengthened if the
vessels OF the United States in
the Chesapeake waters could pass
through a canal to assist In re-
pelling attacks made on the Del
aware bay. In time OF war il
could easily happen that ocean
communication between these
two important estuaries might be
interrupted. either by reason OF
the absence of our own feet In
other waters or because of some
naval disaster In either con-
tingency any hostile expedition
operating either on the line OF
the Delaware or on that OF the
Chesapeake could be met by the
combined forces OF submarines
and other naval vessels assigned
TO the local defence Of each Of
these great bays, which would b
quite impossible If no cana
! were in existence.
When Congress meets the cit'
zens generally of the states VIII
are specially interested bc'
upon economic grounds and a.
patriotic reasons, as we'll az the

durable. But the crepe surface is
prettier than a plain surface. The
crepes come in alf colors and are
used for .negligees in fancy shades
and for afternoon, evening and home
gowns.
