NEED MODERN
COAST Defense
TO GUARD U, S.
Report From chief of Engineers
Now in Hands Of Secretary
McAdoo.
TO ADD TO FORTS EACH YEAR
Overhead Cover on Seacoast Gun En-
placements Must BE Strengthened
to Guard Against Long Rsnge
Fire and Airp!ane Bombs.

Washington, Dec. 4.--There is sn
imperative need for immediate con-
struction OF modern coast Notifications
TO safeguard American harbors from
future enemy naval raids.
A very large percentage of American
seacoast batteries are now at least 20
years old, and the recent rapid advance
In range and power OF guns has left
many OF these Notifications obsolete.
Report Given 20 Baker.
This warning from the chief OF EN-
gineers Of the United States army L.
today in the hands of Secretary Of War
Baker. The report characterizes as
wrong the former policy of merely add
Ing to the seacoast defenses without
revising the elements Of the fortifica-
tons each year to meet modern condi-
lions.
'Trhe future policy of the United
States" the report advises, should be
based upon the principle Of replacing
each year q certain percentage Of each
element of the defense and to do the
work progressively and at fairly uni
form annual rate, so that in general all
Of our seacoast Notifications will be
fairly up to date and batteries and
other elements Of the anse will be
replaced before they become entirely
obsolete"
Boards Recommendation.
The engineer department., TO meet
new elements Of warfare that have
been perfected during the world war,
makes these recommendations:
Overhead cover on seacOast gun
eTnplacements must be strengthened
to guard against the plunging shots Of
very long-range fire and against air.
craft bombing attacks.
2--The increase In the rapidity OF
the fire OF new guns should be met by
changes such as may be possible in our
ammunition service, so as to increase
the rapidity of fire of the American
seacoast guns.
3-The increase In the expenditure
OF ammunition in the newer guns
should be provided for by increasing
our magazine space and BY firing our
seacoast guns only with such charges
as will increase the accuracy life Of
the gun.
1.-The development of portable
mounts for large modern guns should
be followed in seacoast defense by In
stalling some OF our seacoast guns
upon porfabfe mounts moving on rail-
road tracks, and certain Of the new
types of fire SHOULD be adopted In the
handling Of seacoast guns.

Head of Firm.

Milwaukee, Dec. 4-That Milwau-

rife grenades for the allied and Amer
lean soldiers was the statement OF
Stephen f. Briggs, president of the
Briggs-Sratton company, speaking at
the Rotary club luncheon at the Mill
waukee Athletic club. Mr.. Briggs
gave a talk. ON the manufacture of rife
grenadeS, demonstrating with draw
ings the process of manufacture. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Briggs, the grenade
manufactured in this city is patterned
after the French grenade and is a VIZ
tai necessity in close combat. He
stated that rifle grenades were used
where the distance was too close for
the artillery. He stated that although
their manufacture was generally be-!
lfeved dangerous the Milwaukee cons
Germ had not had one serious injury
resulting to its employees. In speak
ing OF the number of grenades manu-
featured here and the time taken in
their manufacture, Mr.. Briggs said:
1.-The daily output of our plants is a.
600. We have made over 100000 since
we were given our first contract. The
average grenades cost the govern
ment about so cents apiece. During
his description of the process Of manu-
featuring grenades Mr.. Briggs dem
onstrated the explosiveness of various
powders by igniting small particles
and exploding others, He told the Ro-
tarians to have no fear while he was
giving his experiments, yet they show
ed nervousness when he applied a
light TO some 7. n. T. However, as
he told them, this powder is not ignit-
able and when it failed to explode a
sigh of relief was heard.
