Gen. COe Modifies
Mitchell Testimony

Washington, D. G. $50 - Re-
called by the prosecution, Major Gen.
eral Frank w. Coe, chief of coast ar
tillery, Tuesday, modified before the
Mitchell court martial his previous
testimony that 10000 anti-aircraft
guns could not protect an area as large
as the city of Washington from air
attack.
He at first refused to alter the
meaning of,what he had said, explain
ing that although snti-aircraft guns
could protect certain parts they
could not protect the area as a whole
Under hammering by the prosecution
however, he conceded finally that $1O,-
600 guns Sin perfectly clear weather
would be an effective defense. He in
sisted that the number would not be
sufficinet in cloudy weather or at
night.

WORK URGES u. S.
TO RECLAIM LAND
Conservation and Revital-
lied Farming Urgent
Questions.
DEGREES IDLE LAW

Washington, D. CT -Conser-
walton of natural resources and re-
claiming of land lost to agriculture
were defined as the "two real ques-
tions vital to the supremacy of the
nation" by Secretary Work in an adj
dress opening conference on re-
clamation and colonization of idle is
lands.
"We must begin again, in the east,
as did our forefathers," he said, mot
to conquer the land, wreak living
from it and abondon it, but to restore
it" Reclamation from now on, the
secretary believes, should include the
recapture and restoration of lost soil
fertility asserting "that When the lime
is extracted from the soil and depos-
tied in mems arteries, the end of that
community is in sight"
Mr.. Work emphasized the import
ance of reclamation of idle land in
the east.
Irrigated agriculture is a speciality
to which eastern farmers are not at
tracted, the secretary said, adding that
reclamation is a national problem
and should be so treated"
Social and economic phases Of the
question also were discussed, the secre-
tary declaring that an economic strain
was increased between the Pacific
coast and the rest of the country.
"Home production and home con-
sumption will soon demand intensivs
study by our economists" he as,
serted.
1t is the intention of the interior
department, he said, to use the $780,
600 appropriated, by congress for the
study of settlement Of idle lands in
a comprehensive way rather than in
promoting local colonization schemes.
