FEDERATION OF
VOMEN'S CLUBS

The Georgia Federation of Women 5
Clubs was organized at Atlanta in 1896
and admitted into the G. F. w. c. June,
1897. The president of this federation
is Mrs. Zeno l. Fitzpatrick, of Thom-
asville. The presidents have been
Mrs. Rebecca L. Lowe, Mrs. J. Lind
say Johnson, Mrs. A. o. Granger, Mrs.
James Jackson, Mrs. M. A. Lipscomb,
Mrs. H. NJ. Willett, Mrs. H. C White
and the present incumbent, Mrs.
Fitzpatrick.
1t is a wonderful organization, and
it was a task to bring it up to its
present efficiency. The labor of the
president is immense. There are two
hundred clubs to supervise, which en-
brace twenty thousand women. 1t was
like weaving a garment, stitch by
stitch, to build up this immense asso-
ciation. 1t required patience and in
telligence and endurance.
But Georgia is blessed with women
who possess the qualities to work
without ceasing. And this work en-
braces a broad field. Service" is the
watchword of the federation. 1t can
be thus summed up:
"To honor God, to benefit mankind,
To serve with lowly gifts the little
needs

SOME NAVAL PRINCIPLES

If the duty of a navy be merely
 to prevent the actual invasion of its
 countrys coasts. a great mistake has
 been made by Great Britain and
 France and other countries in spend
 ing sc much money on their navies
 and in giving so much attention to the education and training. of their
 officers and enlisted men. To pre-
 vent actual invasion would be com
 paratively an easy task. one that could be performed by rows of forts along the coast supplemented by mines and submarines If that Is the only kind of defense required, navies are hardly needed. The army in each country could man the forts and operate the mines and a special corps of the army could even oper- ate the submarines. which eff their only office is to prevent actual in vasiOn) need hardly leave the three
 mile limit that skirts the coasts. II the people of any country do not care to have dealings outside; if the ma . tion is willing to be in a position of man who is Sate so long as he stays in the house. but is afraid to go outdoors. the problem of national defense is easy.
 But if the people desire to prevent interference with what our constitu- tion calls the general welfare" the problem becomes exceedingly complex 1 and exceedingly grave-mOre com plex and grave than any other prob lem that they have. If they desire | that their ships shall be free to sail l the seas, and their citizens to carry | on business and travel in other lands, and if they desire that their mer- l chants shall be able to export their
 wares and their farmers their grain, also that the people shall be able to 1 import the things they wish from | foreign countries, then they must be able to exert actual physical force on the ocean at any point where vessels carrying their exports and imports may be threatened. Naval ships are ! the only means for doing this. Rear Admiral Fiske, in North American
 Review. et ~ -

GIGANTIC GUNS
 ON MOTOR TRUCKS
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

LNCPdOilSdH "A LcdScu NTcl
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 11-Gigantic guns mounted on motor trucks or railway cars probably will be added to the country's coast defense sys- tenn as a result of experiments now being made by army ordnance eX perts. It was learned today that a scheme is geing worked out con templating the establishment of mo- bile batteries to protect stretches of coast line not commanded by the permanent Qualifications built or to be recommended. Part of the $S0, 900, 900 expenditure for coast defenses included in the administration pro gram may be devoted to this work. The European war has demonstrated that high power guns can be used as mobile weapons, such guns as the German 42 centimetre howitzer having revolutionized land warfare by the easy reduction of forts believed inn pregnable. It is proposed to adapt this lesson to American coast de- fense by linking up permanent works with well ballasted wagon roads or railways paralleling the coast line so that the heavy guns could be rushed to any threatened point not protected by the present harbor defenses.
