MANY j. S. COAST
FORTS OBSOLETE

: There is an imperative need for i'm
mediate construction of modern coast
fortifications to safeguard American
harbors from future enemy naval
raids.
A very large percentage of Ameri-
can seacoast batteries are now at
least twenty years old, and the re-
cent rapid advance in range ana
power of guns has left many Of the
United States fortifications, obsolete.
This warning from the report of
the chief of engineers of the United
States army is today in the hands Of
Secretary OF War Baker.
The report of the chief engineers
characteries as wrong the former
policy OF the United States in merely
adding to the seacoast defenses with
out revising the elements of the for
tifcations each year to meet modern
conditions.
"The future policy OF the United
States should be based upon the prin-
eiple of replacing each year a GER
tain percentage OF each element of
the defense and to do the work pro-
gressively and at a fairly uniform
annual rate. so that. In general, all
Of our seacoast foreifications will be
fairly up TO date and batteries and
other elements of the defense will
be replaced before they become en-
tirely obsolete the report advises.

Secretary Baker in war times, such
was the pressure of work brought
upon him.
And he will have a regular birthday
cake with candles and white frosting.
(Even war secretaries remember
when they were a little boy some
times) Up to a late hour today the
cook had not decided whether she
should decorate the cake with the full
number OF candles, A, or with two or
three.
Peggy, Betty, and Jack, the three
small children of Secretary and Mrs.
Baker, will be there, each with a
present for their distinguished father.
The gifts will come as a surprise TO
Secretary Baker. as the children have
kept secret the fact that they "re-
membered him."They each have their
own spending money out Of which
they purchased the gift, and they
made their own selection, too = Il
Peggy. Betty and Jack will remem-
Der this birthday evening as they will
be allowed to dine with their parents.
Usually they have dinner at an earlier
hour alone.
Mrs. Baker, who has been i'll for
seven weeks, and is still confined to
bed hopes, she says, to be present at
the party" tonight and will make an
effort to come down stairs.
Secretary Baker has received many
gifts from friends, including pecans
and apples from the farms of old
friends.

music that leads from the tuneful
days of the Verdi OF "Trovatore, f"
through his "Rigoletto" and "AIda"
to the new school of opera that came
with Wagner and his "melos"-musie
which. with the dissonance and distor-
tortion OF today's latest products,
sounds fair and lucid and musical to
modern ears.
