Nearly thousand years ago today a
party of English churchmen found the
grave of st. Swithin. who had then been
dead hundred years. They excavated
the grave and were ready to remove the
remains to another and more hitting
resting place for the patron saint OF
Winchester Cathedral.
A terrific storm. accompanied by
thunder and lightning. broke suddenly
and drenched the burial party. And
with the characteristic superstition OF
that day, the storm was interpreted
as a miracle-a protest from st. Swith-
in, whose dying request was violated
when his remains were removed.
This request was that he be buried
not in a church. but outside in "a vile
and unworthy place."
Following the thundershower on that
day there came others, and tradition
tells us that Il rained for 40 days and
40 nights. The story has been handed
down from generation to generation for
949 years. and today Washingtonians
iocularly predict the weather for the
next 40 days. basing their forecasts on
the legend of St Swithin.

PARIS, July lathe French Navy,
having recently been granted full con-
troll of coast defense. is studying a
project which will abolish all forts and
Notifications, even in close proximity
to important harbors. and substitute a
completely mobile system. which is de-
clared both cheaper and more effective.
As all authorities agree on the neces-
sity for the mobility of troops and light
artillery, the problem really concerns
only the employment of 10, IA and l6
inch guns, which, indeed. are precisely
the weapons best adapted to meet the
attack of a powerful modern feet
An enemy feet 1t is pointed out,

or covering the landing of troops, has
the choice of the point of attack. II
heavy batteries are fixed permanently.
they are easily located and can either
be avoided altogether by attacking
somewhere else or can be subjected to
strong and accurate bombardment.
Under the proposed new system IN
coastal regions where for any reason an
attack or landing is considered possible
some special roads and railroads would
be built and series of camoufiaged en-
placements prepared, with invisible OBJ
servation posts. telephone and radio
connections and few captive balloons
able to see well beyond the horizon.
The heavy batteries themselves, both
tractor drawn and mounted on railway
cars, would swiftly and secretly concen-
trate and would open fire on the enemy
feet by surprise with full strength.
Whenever q battery was located. 1t
could change its position. II the fleet
moved, the batteries also could move.
Under this plan, it Is declared, mobile
batteries can fulfill all the functions of
forts and fixed batteries Furthermore,
In case there Is no danger to the coast,
as in the last war. heavy coast defense
batteries can be transferred to the front.
