philadelphia SAFE
FROM NAVAL ATTACK
New Chief Army Engineer
in This District Declares
City Easily Protected
ATLANTIC COAST
IS UNPROTECTED

That Philadelphia is immune from
the attacks of a hostile navy is the
opinion Of Major John G Cakes, Uni
led States Army. who has arrived in
Philadelphia. prepared to take up the
duties Of chief army engineer of this
district. He succeeds Colonel George
A Zion, who was transferred to Co
lumbus. n. NJ.
Major Cakes Immediately attacked
the problems before him, and. after
making the above comment, he made
the observation that the defences at
the mouth of the Delaware River, are
strong enough to prevent any hostile
ships from proceeding up the river.
and even in case they did succeed in
passing the first line Of defense few
sunken craft would prevent their
reaching Philadelphia. The Major
did admit, however. that forces could
be landed at several unprotected
places along the Atlantic coast, and
perhaps carry the forts with land
force
The immediate work of Major Oakes
is that of deepening the channel of
the Delaware River. project which
he is studying with enthusiasm. He
stated that he shortly would discuss
with Major Ellis, of Camden. the furth-
erance Of the present plans. and that
public meeting in all probability
would Immediately follow so that no
time would be lost in pushing the pro-
iect to a finish.
Major Cakes is As years of age and
was graduated from West Point in
1897. His first service with the Fed
eral Government was on the Cape
Nav River. From there he was
assigned TO a position teaching
engineering at Willet's Point, and
was then appointed commander oi
Company B. Battalion of Engl-
neers. which served in the Phil
ippines during the Spanish-America-
war. From 1901 10 1908 Major Oake'
was an instructor at West Point, ant
then was appointed to the genera
engineering staff of the army. He wa
secretary of the Board of Consultini
Engineers for the Panama Canal II
August. 1906, he was appointed 10 thu
Galveston district. and in 1910 TO th'
Second Cincinnati district From Gin
cinnati he was transferred 10 Louis
vile, KY, and from there to his pres
ent position.

And again live them over.

All, Those were glorious days.
When our hearts we're knit as one
And shall never forget them,
Until my journeys done.
How l longed for one more season,
OF heavens refresing dew;
To Join in song and prayer together,
Ere came away from you.
But since it was denied me-
The Master said me- nay;
To other friends He called me,
And bids you for me pray.
So while of old friends all bereft,
In this strange field and new;

When it is we'll with you.
Yes. all to me are strangers,
But Christ is with me STILL
So I'll lean the harder on Him,
And strive to do His will.
When my lone heart is longing,
For some familiar face;
I'll HE me to the fountain,
And seek enduring grace.

And by the cool and placid waters,
In pastures green I'll feed.

that any one need make for the utmost
in automobiling.
And please don't accept this statement
lightly or too skeptically. At least do
yourself justice by checking up the facts.
So let us make you a definite proposition. Go
to the show room of the Paige dealer wheTe
this new car is on exhibition. Ask him to
giUs you a thorough denomination oOsT
any road conditions that you may select
Then, IOhen you return to automobile TouD.
driOe the Paige right up along side any

See for yourself tUhether the Fairfield is lack
ing in any one detail that argues for great
er efficiency, comfort or luxury. See If
any cGT-Gf any price offer more
intrinsic UGlue than the Fairfield at $I375.
If we have overstated our case, you will
know it just the minute that you have
completed such a comparison. If, on
the other hand we are right-and we sin
cerely believe that we are-then you will
have done yourself real service and we
shall both be the gamers.
Surely no proposition could be fairer than
this. Surely no intelligent man can
afford to purchase any car until he has
made an impartial investigation of this
kind.
