"The American Kiel"

a MOTHER far-reaching step was taken with
~ the passage of the rivers and harbors
appropriation bill for the developmnt Of the
Chesapeake Bay region as the greatest naval
and military base in the Western Hemisphere,
II not in the world. And it is easy to see
that this wonderful body Of water and its
estuaries must play even greater part in
the future history OF the country than in past
history.
Already this inland sea is traditionally
ISOLATED with war. There is Yorktown,
sacred in our memory; North Point, of 1872,
where the Star-Spangled Banner was born;
Washington and Richmond, and Hampton
roads of 1S61-5. No single section of the
country Is SO rich in historic interest or about
which much of our career nation
seems to have revolved. Nor 10 there any
section so splendidly circumstanced from
strategic standpoint.
All this mas been recognized again in con-
nection with the present war. AS we have
earlier pointed out, more and more of wars
activities are being centered along the shores
OF this bay and the streams that pour into it.
Two great army cantonments are here; one
for the marine corps. two for naval personnel,
aside from the permanent works at Fortress
Monroe. Cape Henry Norfolk. st. Helena.
Indian Head. Annapolis and Washington. To
this might be added the great plants asso-
ciated with war at Newport News. Hopewell

is about to be taken over by the army for
the removal of the Sandy Hook artillery
proving grounds
And now Congress. through the rivers and
harbors bill. gives reinforcement to all the
plans and projects for the future military use
of the bay by directing that negotiations be
opened for the purchase of the Chesapeake
and Delaware Canal and for the deepening OF
the Norfolk and Curtis Bay channels to forty
feet to facilitate the coaling Of the great
fleets of the country. Authorizations in each
case were based solely upon war necessity
Should the government take possession of
the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal. deepen
Ing it to thirty feet, the. entire micronesia
chain of waterways from Long Island Sound
to Hampton Roads would be opened for the
safe passage OF American men-of-war 1t
would make almost impossible the block
aiding OF our coast. however powerful might
be an enemy's feet. With the ability to
shift safely our craft from mouth of the
Hudson to the mouth of the Delaware or
from the Delaware to the mouth Of the Chesa-
peake. no attacking force could possibly
bottle up our great ports.
These facts go far toward explaining the
policy of the government in concentrating It's
works of war in the territory of the Chesa-
peake Bay. Absolute protection is afforded
them there. They are readily accessible by
rail or by water. and they are within easy
reach Of the raw material centers of the
country.

phenomenal, approximating CT per cent for
the seven months past compared with the

by remarkable expansion in every phase of
