ROCKAWAY FORT
WORK IS DELAYED
BY LACK OF LABOR
After Brisk Start Preparation
of New Defense for City
Slows Up.
500 MEN ARE NEEDED.
lO-Inch Rifles and o-lnch Guns
TO Command Ambrose
Channel Approach.

While the newest fort TO defend
New York is expected 20 he finished
within three weeks. the laborers on
they are doing to-day to complete
the work in that time. The fort oc-
cupies . tract OF land on the penin-
sula called Rockaway Point. which
stretches westward for six miles from
Rockaw9y Park. the last station on
the Long Island Railroad. In this
place II ~ proposed to put at least
two 1G-inch rines and four s-inch
guns from West Point.
This fort will command the APP
proach to Ambrose Channel. which is
the short cut for big ships from Sandy
Hook to the Narrows. Experts say
that to-day "a hostile dreadnought
could lie five miles east OF Sandy
Hook and shell all Brooklyn and all
New York south of Fourteenth Street.
When the new fort is completed its
batteries will far outrange any naval
batteries that can be sent against
them. The rifles. on disappearing car
riages. as well as the 4-inch guns. can
be elevated at an angle OF 45 degrees.
while ships guns can be elevated only
10 degrees above the horizontal.
The work Of preparing the emplace-
ments for the guns Is going on to o-day
at much reduced speed. OF the $50
laborers on the job yesterday less
than half are now at work. The alb
tentees say that II they keep on in
rain and cold they will be so crippled
with colds and rheumatism that they
will be good for little during the next
two weeks.
Contractor William d. Reilly of
Cedarhurst. who is undertaking to
have the emplacements dug and the
concrete bases prepared for the guns
among the sand dunes. is hustling to
get waterproof laborers-and having
very little success.
Six hundred men will be needed TO
finish the work within tho three
weeks contemplated by the plans OF
the War Department, and where they
are TO como from, with the Connect
cut ammunition factories calling
away laborers by offering double and
triple pay. neither the army officers
nor tho contractor know.
Forty horse-trucks and two motor
trucks hauled bluestone from the
Long Island Railroad to the fort
yesterday. but now only twenty of
the horse trucks are working. When

IF BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush your kidneys occasion
ally if you eat meat
regularly.

No man or woman who cats meat
regularly can make mistake by
flushing the kidneys occasionally,
says well-known authority. Meat
forms uric acid which clogs the kid
ney pores so they slugGishly filter or
strain only part of the waste and
poisons from the blood, then you get
sick. Nearly all rheumatism, head
aches, liver trouble, nervousness, con-
stipaton, dizziness, sleeplessness,
bladder disorders come from sluggish
kidneys.
The moment you feel dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or if
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage, or at
tended by a sensation of scalding, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and take Il
teaspoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for a few days and your
liver will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia
and has been used for generations to
flush clogged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity, also to neutraliZe
the acids in urine so 1t no longer
causes irritation, thus causing blad-
der disorders.
Jad salts is inexpensive and can
not injure: makes a delightful effer-
vescent lithia- water drink which all
regular meat eaters should take now
and then to keep the kidneys clean
and the blood pure, thereby avoiding
serious kidney complications.-Adv

Success depends largely on per

Government to Make Concen.
trated Effort to Develop
Resources Immediately.
BY OMER X. BENEDICT.
tWorll staff CoIrespondent)

WASHINGTON, March 26.-With
increasing needs of the United States
navy of crude oil for fuel, concerted
effort on behalf of the navy depart
ment and the interior department will
be put forth at the coming session of
congress to develop the country's oil
lands which were withdrawn from
public entry by executive order of the
president in 1903.
With the three-year program
mapped out by the navy department
ending December /. 1921, completed,
the navy will require 6,721.0 barrels
of crude oil annually. These figures
are based on the program already
being put into effect and do not in
clude the increase incident to increase
in the navy, which will necessarily fol-
low in the preparedness program
which will no doubt be adopted at the
coming session. 1t is estimated by the
navy department that in case of war
four times that amount of crude will
be needed, and it no doubt will exceed
that in large quantities.
Feared High Prices.
Four years ago the navy depart
ment fearing a high price or short
age in supply of crude, wrote the in
terror department for information re-
garding the availability of obtaining
large quantities Of oil, and what the

because fires do not foul and fireroom
force does not become exhausted.
CD FleXibility in regard To increase
and decrease of speed without loss OF
fuel water and time.
Ch) Greater safety of the vessel
from submarine attack because of
more permissible subdivisions of ship.
Absolutely Necessary.
Illustrating the above advantages. 1t
may be stated that the scouts de-
struycrs and battle cruisers authorized
by the last naval appropriation act
could not be built if coal were used
as fuel
In view of the great advantages of
view of the fact that this country pro-
duces annually more than two-thirds
of the worlds supply of petroleum,
and upon assurances of the depart
ment of interior as to the oil con-
tents of the naval petroleum reserves
in 1913 the navy definitely adopted
the policy of building none other than
burning vessels.
\mouut Needed Increasing
In eleven months in 1916 the navy
used S42. .432 barrels of crude oil as
fuel In the twelve months of the year
previous it used for the same purposes
only 52l, 1892 barrels. AS stated above,
nearly seven million barrels will be
used by 1921. if there are no addi-
tional increases in ships and no war.
1t can be seen how these figures nat
urally will increase, as no coal burning
navy vessels are contemplated in the
navy program outlined so far for sew
cral years.
The fact that congress is slow of
action, and the pendcncy of private
claims affecting the petroleum re-
serves, and the prospects of war, with
the additional demand for crude by
foreign warning nations, the shutting
down of the Roumanian fields and un-
certainty of the Tampico field, surely
the oil situation looks very bright, and
the outlook from an oklahoma view
point should be very encouraging
looking toward an upward trend of
prices

Scarcity of undevelopcd farming
