home, will be used for defense of the

This was stated on high authority
today at the war department where it
was also made known without censor

OF stripping coast defenses.
Such Of the coast defense guns as
were taken, however, were of calibers
not especially valuable for coast
work.
AS a result Of these removals and
because of the experiences Of the var
ious armies with respect to large call
rer guns, It was said that 1t would un.
dolbtedly be necessary to obtain some
larger ca1iber guns to use in the

AS to the utilization OF railway ar.
Ftii1ery, IT was pointed iusrt THAT Amerf

scarcely possible now to prevent a
foe from landing on our shores. Lons
range railway artillery could drive an
enemy snip out or range at q given
point, but not enough guns could be

stated.
