BREST TO BE US. NAVAL BASE
 IN FIR ANCE
City is Already Laying a Supply of United States Flags and
 Emblems

BREST, May 14.-Brest is laying in a supply of American flags to hang out when the first American warship steams up the "Goulet."
 There is about 10000 acres of har- bor here with from 36 to 50 feet of water and with all the dry docks, na- val repair shops and shipbuliding fac ilities that go with the principal naval port of France
 Entrance is gained thru the "Goulet," a channel about five miles long, 2,000 yards wide and with depth of water from 2 TO 57 feet. It requires nine lighthouses to guide the pilot up this channel after he has dodged the reefs of the Iroise in the offing.
 There is a trade question allied to the proposed use of the sport as an American naval base-the old Brest- Transatlantic project, intended 10 shorten the route between the French and the American coasts. Brest is g miles nearer New York than the nearest English port, Plymouth.
