Army and Navy Board Now Studying the Atlantic and Gulf Sections
 for Stations.
PACIFIC COAST LEFT OUT
Chain of Coast Patrol Bases To Be Extended as Rapidly as It
 Is Possible

WASHINGTON, March 2G. - A joint army.navy board is studying the Atlantic and Gulf coasts pre- paratory to the establishment oi eight aernonautic stations. which, be- sides having two dirigibles and six or eight aeroplanes each for aerial patrol work. probably will serve as bases for the new 11O.foot coast scout boats. of which the navy will order more than a hundred in a few days
 Sixteen dirigibles and a sufficient number of seaplanes have been con tracted for and officers and men for the service are being selected to be sent to the station at Pensa' cola, Fla, for training A school dirigible for the station is almost ready for delivery,
 The eight stations will be distri buted along the coasts to cover strategic areas to be determined by the board. Each will require six officers and 40 men.
 The only station site selected defi' niteIy is that at Coco Solo, near Colon. Canal Zone, for which an appropriation of $1,OOO.000 to es' tabRsh joint aviation and sub. marine base was asked of the last Congress. The project is expected to carry at the coming special ses' sion. Money for the other stations will be asked at that time, but the Department has emergency approp' riations sufficient to begin the work,
 Stations for the Pacific coast are not being prepared, although the chain of coast patrol bases will be extended along the entire coast line as rapidly as machines can be obtained and men trained.
 The immediate plans require the training within the next four months of 30 officers and $50 men at Pen sacola in handling dirigibles. Crews for the seaplanes are under train ing. but their number must be in. creased largely witout delay.
 In providing boats to aid in the task of guarding the coasts, navy experts prefer a standard type 1SO' foot steel boat for patrol and sub marine chasing work, but in the interest of speedy construction has determined on the 11O-footers with wooden hulls, so that builders of wooden boats may share in the work. Later orders win be placed for small submarine chasers, ranging from 90 to S5 feet long.

FLEET IS REGISTERED
 IN NEW YORK
Power Yachts and Smaller Craft Will Be Used To Chase German
 Submarines

NEW YORK. March 26.-Vessels of virtually every type are being registered in New York for use as protective fleet, many as submar. inc chasers. There are in the Unit ed States 1920 power yachts, rang ing from 30 to 15O feet. British of. ricers say that while high speed boats are particularly suitable for scouting and other coast defense purposes, the speed with which their engines are driven causes the pro. pellers to make so much onise that the submarines detectors give warning. Slow boats are more sue cessful as chasers.

cells were a little larger, and the pris-
oners were allowed only one hours

prison. The food given them was not
bad, but the close confinement was
very trying, especially to Lieutenant
