forts on the Delaware river. The Sen
ators each expressed the opinion that
the War Department would not allow

an unprotected condition.
Il certainly shall use all the influence

temptation, but If IL has. you may de-
mend upon the Delaware delegation ex-
erting all the influence 1t has to prevent
such action. There has been much
talk about dismantling forts. The con-
tention is that the war being over, We
can get along with a good deal less of
the kind of protection which forts af-

that the Delaware forts We're built, or
