 They waited till the enemy ships should try to force the passage and come within range, that they might make those two hours two hours of unspeakable destruction that should glorify their death with the fiery splen- dor of bursting ships.
 The eE1enY did not try to force the passage. While they saved their ann intuition these defenses were fearful gladiators to approach. None could come within reach of their steel hands and live.
 But the gladiators were gladiators fearful only in front. Steel gauntleted, armored with steel breastplates and shinplates, nightly visored-so they faced the sea. In the back they were naked

Anoth- CT hourt And still it came.
 The sun was overhead. Suddenly into the naked back of the defenses poured fire and steel that hammered and beat and tore through them. Un- der 1t through flame and smoke and flying dirt appeared shining rows of bayonets. With yelp 10000 men poured in. Army and naval officers, both American and foreign, believe that 5000 men would be more than sufficient to take such works if they are manned only by their coast artn- lery companies and undefended by a mobile army.]
 And through the United States, smit- ing it into the durnbness of despair, went the news that the great Narra- gansett defenses had fallen and that the enemy fleet was entering the har- bor. America had lost Narra gansett bay, with all it's defenses, great guns and government stations, in less than

 From the aeroplane fell a silver ball It glittered in the br1ghtening sum- splendid. ''Hit!' went the message to the turret and the crew there en- braced and cheered
 It had hit the outer earthworks of the defenses- It had plunged down with a shock that stunned men in mortar pits and gun supplements far away.

two weeks after the declaration of war!
 Before the news of Nafraganeett's fall was an hour old the cities Of the United States, including many towns so obscure that few Americans ever had heard their names, had subscribed enough money to raise and equip an army twice over and keep it in the field for months. But the country that was so efficient, so intrepid, so re sourceful, was facing a disaster now. that it could not conjure away with all the money and men that ever were.
 Money, the magician, was futile now. It could not stamp it's golden foot and make gun factories and ammunition works spring from the empty ground. It could not send to the army in Con- necticut cannon that did not exist or cartridges tAat had not been made.
 An order had gone out from the American headquarters that morning. an ominous warning that, given in bat tie, would have indicated surely the beginning Of the end. It was:
 tIT IS OF THE UTMOST IMPOR- TANCE THAT NO AMMUNITION BE EXPENDED WITHOUT UR GENT NEED. COMPANY COM. 3MANDERS WILL ENFORCE THIS ORDER VIGOROUSLY"
 While the futile dollars were being flung to the government for new ar mics the army that was already in the field was counting it's small arms and artillery ammunition, knowing that it l did not possess enough for two days battle.
 1 From ocean to ocean men with naked 1 hands were crowding to enlist The generous nation that never yet had de l nied a need when the need was made apparent, was as generous with it's lives as with it's dollars. For two and three blocks around the recruiting stations of regular army and militia the streets were packed with men. They hac come from work and pleasure. They had come home from far places They had dropped shovels and tennis rack l cts, pens and picks. They stood shoui der to shoulder in fine stuffs and II rags, made equal by one loyal purpose And they were as futile as the dollars One million men, 1t was computed afterward, had offered themselves il America in that one day. But ther were no weapons for them Tner were not enough rifles. There were n uniforms. There were no tents. Tner were no shoes. <

the coast defense to the commandant. Though the impact. had. shaken the works and the yerS earth, though the blast from the explosion of its charge had twisted three inch iron bars within the works and bent the steel doors of casemates. it had done no harm to the 'defenses. So well had they been built by the engineers that the rending ex- plosion left crater for only a moment. The earth rippled down and closed it. The steel and concrete facing under heath beld true.
 The enemy had the range. Ship after ship passed ele entrance, delivered it's single shet, proceeded ard returned to follow in the circling line. These were the most modern Dreadnoughts, firing from sixteen inch guns. Their shells tore the earth entertainments away in tons and flung dirt high in air and sent it down to bury everything in it's way under mounds But all their fire and all their havoc was in vain unless they could hit gun. And the guns were protected by steel armor and concrete and earth piled on earth.
 To hit gun was to attempt to hit a bullseye only a few feet square at a range of eleven miles, farther than men can see.
 Still the bornbardment went on, un- deterred. More aeroplanes scared over the defenses now. far out of reach from shots, and circled and signaled. The fire grew. The ships were not hes itating now to wear out the rif1ing of their guns. They meant to give the defenders no rest.
 They were trying for prize that was worth all the guns in their turrets. They knew that inside of the works there could not be more than few thousand men, if that much. They knew that all the coast artillery forces of the United States combined mum bered only ITO companies and that these ITO companies had twenty seven harbor defense systems to guard Ever if the United States had stripped its other defenses to the utmost, there could not be a sufa acient force in these that were now being attacked.
 So they poured fire on fire and shot on shot It was onesided duel, fol their great guns outranged the four. teen inch guns of the defenses The men in there fired only occasionally when their observers and range finders l and p1otters perceived an opportunity There was another reason for thefl slow fire besides the inability to reach Those perfect defenses, those perfect products of engineering science, those results of millions on millions of ex penditure, contained only enough am 1 intuition for two hours of firing!
