Mr.. Salisbury of Delaware
Would Provide Boats With
Place of Safety

Washington, February 26.-The
example of the German fleet riding
safely at anchor in the Kiel camel
harbor and picking its own time for
combat, was cited today by Senator
Salisbury of Delaware as his reason
for demanding that forty nine miles Of
defensive canals be dug il this coun-
try. The two waterways he pro-
poses, one OF fifteen miles from
Chesapeake to Delaware Bay and one
from Trenton, N. j., across to Rari-
dan Bay, would provide an inner har-
Dor from the Virginia Capes to Mar
agansett Bay. These defensive pro-
jects, in the opinion of military ex-
perts, would be equivalent to large
army as defensive factor
Concentrate in Safety.
They would enable the American
navy to concentrate in safety and
forceta foe to keep two fleets, each of
strength equal to that Of the United
States feet, at both the Virginia
Capes and off New York harbor, if
it attempted blockade. Such canal
would serve, like a giant moat, as a
vast line of defense against land
forces, which might attempt to in
wade the region in which most of the
munitions plants and manufacturing
concerns of the nation are located
The time of greatest danger will be
Just at the close Of the European
war" said Senator Salisbury today
The nations will be at the height OF
their military bower. What kind OF
navy and coast defenses we have in
1925 is not ene-te tenth so important as
what we have in 1918. 's''3
Cost of Canal. "
The Chesapeake and Delaware
canal, twenty-five feet deep, would
cost but s12 900, 600, which is less than
we pay for battleship Yet it woulo
double the effectiveness of our At
lantic feet. Besides being a most
valuable means of defense, this canal
would save commercial shipping hun
dreds OF thousands of dollars a year
Ships ito reach Baltimore would not
need to round the treacherous Vir-
GINA eapes, not to mention the great
saving in distance that would be eff
fected. Most naval and transporta-
ton men with whom / have talked
cannot explain why so obviously a
meritorfoGs public Improvement has

Superior Wis, February 26.-Fred
Mailer, superintendent of; the Great
Northern ore docks, is authority for
the statement that an aeroplane was
seen lowering over the ore docks.
The matter is being Investigated !.
The Great Northern ore docks have
been shipping ore to the United
States Steel corporations, mills,
which have been manufacturing sup
plies for the allies, and it is believed
that the appearance of the aeroplane
has something to do with ethat. Some
think bombs are likely to be dropped
on the. ore docks Threatening let
tiers have been received bgr the Off
Gals of the steel corporation that
dire things would happen if the con-
Germ did not cease taking and filling
war orders for the allies. Similar
threats have been received by the
Dupont Powder company. ,.r
