try and for the training Of its young
men. The coast artillery is an integral
and important part Of the army. In
case OF war the coast artillery will not
only keep the enemy ships fr'm enter

cities, but by assisting the rest of our
army will keep the enemy from land
ing on our shores. In performing this
duty 1t will fight the heavily armed
