SHORE STATIONS THE GREAT NEED
 ON THE COASTS
Americans Have No Real ization to the Great Danger and Menace
 of Defense.

NEW YORK, Dec. 22.-The lack of adequate naval stations as q weakness in the naval establishment. of the United States, which. it was declared. gives our strategistS just cause fer concern" was discussed here by Rear Admirals Bradley A. Fiske and John R. Edwards. both retired. berore the meeting of the American Society of Mechanical En- glneer3.
 They spoke after the reading of a paper by Prof. W. L. Cathcart, of Philadelphia, a naval consulting en- gineer. dealing with the deficiencies of the land end of the countrys raval affairs. Both the Rear Ad- miral5 indorsed what Prof. Cathcart said, Rear Admiral Edwards declar- ing that if there were no other ways to get money to build up the snore stations he would cut out one capital ship from the appropria- ton" in order to do so.
 South of Hatteras you haven't crane that will lift a gun out of nrret of a battle ship said Rear Admiral Edwards, and it is a fact that there is not 8 place along the coast south of that cape where a battle ship would go for repairs in case of crippling in action. But Charleston. s. C., would make splen- did base. We need a base at Charles ton and one in the gulf to protect the Panama Canal The great men, ace to this country is the condition of our shore stations. A base at Charleston would make an enemy ex- tend his line of operations 500 or 500 miles, which would take dozen more capital bottle ships"
 Rear Admiral Fiske said that the American people do not realize their danger any more than does a babe on a railroad track" He said 1t was the duty of the mechanical engineers to point out to their fel- low citizens what cur country must do or perish
 In his paper Prof. cathcart said that several of the American naval stations in their defenseless state could be seized with ease if the American fleet were first defeated As to the stations on this coast he said they all lie within an airline distance of 500 miles, although our Atlantic and gulf coast lines are more than 5000 miles long. If an enemy should gain possession of the 500 miles of coast our dreGdnought' would be hopeless unless the fleet could flee to the Bay of Panama since the yards at Charleston, Pen sacola and New Orleans are equipp ed for small craft only.
