DEFENDS c. ". j. PLAN
FOR COAST ARTILLERY
Admiral Stockton Says It Is Every
Mans Duty to Serve
His Country.

mo one desires an orgy of blood; no
one desires the engendering of hatreds.
but any one with spark of manliness
and patriotism will desire to defend
his country"
I In those words does Rear Admiral
Charles Herbert Stockton, U. S. N. re-
tired, president of George Washington
University, defend the university's plan
to have company of coast artillery
formed there. This plan was recently
criticised by Rexford L. Holmes, an
alumnus of the institution.
II am surprised" says Admiral Stock
ton. ito find a man, and presumably
la young man. who does not sympathize
with the movement for the formation
of a company of coast artillery for the
purpose of defense of the approaches
to Washington The statement of the
should appeal to every right-minded,
thinking American citizen.
No Safeguard From Attack.
"The fact that our country does not
want to go to war-and I think it can
be said that our country wants to
steer clear of all strife-will not pre-
serve it from attack, and consequently,
without regard to our feelings as to
war, we must be prepared for the de-
fense of our country. our property and
ourselves. The present European war
has involved more than one country
that entered the conflict with extreme
reluctance. To make practical de-
fense of a country we do not want to
find ourselves depending upon raw re-
cruits who have no knowledge either
of how to take care of themselves in
camp or to handle the weapons neces-
sary for defense.
