Must Protect the Canal.

AS an enemy of the Atlantic is bound
to strike for the Panama canal and
our control of the Caribbean, we must
have thoroughly prepared submarine
and seaplane bases at Guantanamo,
Panama and Colon, and also at Hawaii
and in the Philippines, If we are to de-
fend our Pacific possessions. The mere
fact Of their existence will be prevent
ative, for the enemy will know the
danger that awaits him If he attempts
aggression. Nations do not undertake
war these days without counting their
chances of success.
AS submarine crews cannot be train

sonnel. No seaman's work is so trying
as that of the submarines crew IL
represents an undesirable hardship

gone out from Zeebrugge and Kiel to
spend three weeks in the steel en-
velopes did not know what minute the
sides would have in from the enemy'S
blow and they would all go to the bot

Submarine cruising requires nerves and
loyalty and endurance required by no
other branch of the military service.
Submarine crews cannot be hastily pre-
pared as aviators may. They must be
ready when war comes. So must our
seaplanes and plants for building and
repairing, if we are to have an ade-
quate, well rounded navy.
Whether the future of war is in the
air and under water is something
which only time will decide. In the
meantime the United States must keep
up to date. 1t must not be taken by
surprise by an enemy who has the
latest type of weapons while our own
are archaic.

While the army plane is like the gull
the seaplane or hydroplane is like a

There is no reason why we should

most advanced types with the best

Albany and photograph the defenses
around the town and return to New
York in three hours. On the way the
aviator could count the number of
steamers on the river and learn if
any bodies of troops or guns were NOV
ing along the roads.
AS he would encounter no anti-air-
craft gun fire, since we have no anti
aircraft guns, he could keep low
detail of the positions. The anti-air-
craft guns which move up behind the
lines of all the armies on fast motor
cars, frequently bring down a plane.

thousand yards of any anti-aircraft

than a duck twenty feet away under

and it is difficult for the aviator to do
his work. But it would not be over
our army. He could descend to with

be an open book.
British Were Handicapped.
The want of anti-aircraft guns early
in the war was a great handicap to the
British, for the Germans were enabled
to fly low, spot the location of the guns
and infantry and wireless them to the
German gunners, who Immediately
opened fire. You recall the French Of
fensive in Alsace early in the war
which ran into overwhelming German
forces and was taken by surprise-be-
cause of faulty aerial service. Yet the
French had plenty of first class planes.
Even with plenty, the planes often fail.
chance would we have of detecting the
enemy's movements? Their anti-air-
craft guns would not bother us, as we
would give them no targets.
Every time one visits an aviation
camp at the front he sees some new
style and bigger type of bomb. The
carrying power of the heavy planes
with their double engines and enormous
horsepower has surpassed all practical
expectations. if not those of the fiction
writer's 1o0-pound bomb dropped
from plane, is more than equivalent
to a six-inch shell, because it's case is
thinner, and, therefore, it can carry
more explosive. While the gun may
carry only ten or fifteen thousand yards,
the plane can go fifty or sixty miles
beyond the enemy's lines If it pleases.
A squadron of dozen planes going out
on raid means that all your eggs are
not in one basket, as in the case OF a
Zeppelin. Their fire is quite as accu-
rate: They are in every way more de-
pendable- The war has been entirely
