Seward Wants to Protect Pacific Coast

The Seward Chamber of Commerce has started a campaign for military prepared ness in Alaska The executive board Is making every effort to show the admins tration the great advantages of putting the Northland on a war basis and the necessity of doing so. In wires addressed to President Wilson, and in communications to the sec retary of the navy and the secretary of war, it is urged that immediate steps be taken and that work commence at once to put Resurrection bay in shape for coaling station The Chamber of Commerce wants the work to start at this time, so that everything will be ln readiness the minute coal can be landed at the waters edge. A reservaticn of 350 acres has been set aside for naval uses, and on this site the people of Seward would like to see the navy yard built. The President was asked to make provision as soon as possible for the fortl- fcation of the entrance of Resurrection bay. The bay has been declared to be 8 natural fortifcation by experts, and it would take but small force to make it as i'm pregnable as the DardanelIes, they say. The Chamber of Commerce declares that fleet of submarines operating from Seward as 8 base could protect the entire coast of Alaska and the Pacific coast with greater ease than from any other point. It is cer- tain, the executive board declares, that the coast of Alaska could be better protected by submarines operating from Seward than from any other point. It is also stated that Alaska is the richest possession of the United States and that it is the only one that Is practically defenseless
