the new army measure, which was
yesterday submitted to the house. A
total of 134 of these anti-aircraft guns
are provided for in the bill, and they
will be placed at seacoast defenses of
the United States. In addition many
have been provided for the Panama

but also to repel aircraft sent out
from these ships which could destroy

equipped with the anti-aircraft guns.
It is understood that rifles of a
larger calibre and a much longer
range viii be placed at the forts and
those continued in use will be remod-

Movable 16-inch howitZers and
rifles of the same calibre are to be
mounted on railroad cars, that they
may be shifted from one part of the
country to another in the event they
are ever required to aid in repelling
an enemy.

or more batteries at some point on
Santa Rosa Island, opposite the city
so that enemy ships could not shell

man consul at Baltimore, with the
issue of an American passport to
Horst Won der Goltz, confessed Ger
man spy, under the name of Bridgman
Taylor, has reached point where the
next step is to lay the facts before a
federal grand jury.
The story told to department Of JUS
tice officials by Won der Goltz at New

jury action. In his statement Won der
Goltz is quoted as saying he went to
Baltimore with letter from Captain
Won Papen, the former German mill
tary attache here, requesting the con-
sui to aid Won Der Goltz in any way
he could. Won der Goltz has told the
agents he discussed with Luderitz the
plans of obtaining fraudulently an

been corroborated by the prisoner
Tucker, arrested three weeks ago at
Ell Paso, and now held at Ellis Island.
Tucker, it is asserted, was familiar
with Won der Goltz's plans to obtain
an American passport, and has cor
roborated Won der Goltz's story in its
essentials.

COAST DEFENSES OF
AMERICA WILL BE
GREATEST IN WORLD
Largest Rifles and Mortar
Batteries Known Will
Be Installed.
By Associated PRESS.

Wash lgton, April 6.-The third
great cement of the national pre-
parsf Jess program was today brought
into the house. It is the largest for
LITIGATION bill ever reported, and the
first of four annual measures under

imately $100,0OO,000 for increasing

rior to any in the world, and to sup
ply an ample store of reserve am
munition for the guns.
Included in the bin are provisions
for mounting sixteen-inch direct fire
rifles to guard New York, Boston, San
Francisco and other great cities from
long range naval bombardment. Pro-
vision is also made for mounting IL
inch rifles now in reserve so they will
have a range of more than 10000
yards, or Is sea miles. No ship could
live within that distance of the guns.
GIANT MORTAR BATTERIES.
The plan will add 16-inch mortar
batteries to the present 12-inch en-
placements because Of the Increased
armor protection Of modern battle
ships. In addition it provides for 16-
inch mobile howitzers and 14-inch
guns on railroad cars to defend points
not protected BY established forts.
In approving the bill, the commit
tee accepted almost without alteration
the proposals of the war department
and the officers who have studied the
subject of coast defenses for years.
The bill carries appropriations Of
SIS, 305, 123 and additional authorize
tions to reach a total of S34,299, $50
