Alan r. Hawley. the president OF the

Secretary of War Baker yesterday Of
foring the assistance Of the CLUB IN

that the House Committee on Military

proposing to cut down the sli,Ooo,oOo

Yachts and All Motor Craft
Organized for Coast Defence

Privately owned motor boats and
yachts would play an important part
in the defence of the Atlantic coast
in the event of hostilitics. Acting az
scout, patrol, supply, dispatch and Red
Cross boats, they would FIJI the navy's
urgent need for craft Of small size and
light draft
As n defence against submarines
they would also be of value. for they
could be armed with small calibrc
guns.
The fact that the greatest part of
the defence Of the coast Of England
had been carried on by the trawlers
OF the North Sea and by yachts last
summer prompted the Navy Depart
mcnt TO mobilize the small boats of
the Atlantic coast into mosquito fleets.
For a week motor boats owned in
the vicinity Of New York man1uvrcd
with battlcships in Gravesend Bay,

signalling, fleet movements and other
courses which would fit them 20 use
