Read ing was unchanged but showed marked f1rmness later. U. $. Steel yielded a fraction but soon recovered, while the prominent munitions were again under pressure with the zinc issues and marine preferred Mex jeans were in moderate demand but the movement elsewhere was variable.
 Wall Street Closing-Rallies aver aging a point in representative stocks followed the publication of the gov ernment crop report in the final hour. The closing was heavy.

War College Chief Says
Deepened Canal Would
Add TO DefenSeS
POINTS TO WEAKNESS
OF SUSSEX SHORE

WASHINGTON. Jan. 17.-Brigadier
General NJ. NJ. Macomb. chief Of the
War College. recently sent a report TO
the Senate, in which Secretary of War
Garrison and General Tasker II. Bliss,
acting Chief OF STAFF, concurrod set
ting forth the military advantages Of
the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal.
This report pointed out that Lewes,
Del is now undefended and is a weak
spot which the attacking feet in the
war maneuvers easily passed and
reached Philadelphia.
General Macombs report said in
part:
1T is believed that the canal has
some value as it exists today as an
obstacle to the advance of "a hostile
expedition landing on the west bank
Of Delaware Bay ana advancing
against Wilmington and Philadelphia.
The fine, undefended harbor at Lewes.
Del. makes such a landing a prob
ability The canal especially at the
locks. is so narrow. only twenty-four
feet a. the locks. as to form an OBJ
stacle not very formidable.
THE canal is too small for the pass
lgc OF submarines or other naval
craft that would be used for prevent
ing the landing OF troops from hostile
transports and too small and OBJ
structed by locks for rapid transport
Of troops and material from one bay
10 the other
"a canal such as proposed would al
low the whole force Of submarines,
etc. 10 be held in one OF the two bays
and with equal efficiency in either.
Without the canal the force Of sub
marines. etc. must be divided between
the two bays. and TO reinforce by the
outside. a distance OF more than 200
miles. as against about fifteen miles
by the canal.
"A canal along this line and one
from Delaware Bay to New York har-
Dor would make a landing Of hostile
troops almost impossible between
Narragansett Bay and Chesapeake
Bay. and the construction OF this canal
is an important step toward the ac-
complishment Of this result
"As an obstacle and a part Of the
land defense OF Wilmington and Phil
adelphia a canal suited for CONNER
cial and naval purposes would be OF
great importance Defended by a few
troops and small gunboats. such an
obstacle would hardly be crossed. and
it is not believed that II would be at

In this connection il is interesting to
note that claims regarding lack of water
