By mail, out of oily, lit montk la noai I DM It yaar I By olty lie a month Patty MM Seattle's Harbor WHAT Theodore Roosevelt and meant recently when they said that the United States' defenses were mere "paper" defenses is explained in a manner which the whole Pacific Northwest will understand in this common, ordinary routine news-story: "For some time it ha- been apparent to military men that while Ft. Casey could withstand an attack by a fleet, i Could easily be rushed from the rear and its silenced "There are a number of places where a landing could be effected on Whidby island, and the landing force could then march unmolested to the rear of the fort and capture, it, with little or no resistance." In other words, this fort, which the people of the North west have counted on as a sure defense, really is a defense only so long as the nice, obliging enemy will lay out in Sound, in front of its guns, instead of walking up from behind, where no guns are pointed. Preparations are being made now to repair this defect. BUT THE CHARACTER OF OUR COAST DEFENSES AND OUR NAVY. OUR PEACE INSURANCE.

FOR MANY YEARS PAST. IS ACCURATELY INDI CATED BY THIS EXAMPLE OF A "DEFENSE" WHICH ITSELF BADLY NEEDED DEFENDING. The American never will stand for a war of ag gresston. nor will they go to war to protect the fat profits of their indu-trial trade baron- But if they are attaikcd, they will fight their forefathers fought to protect their home-. MEANWHILE THEY DEMAND THAT SUt 11 EXAMPLES OF "DEFENSE" AS FT.

CASEY BK ADDED SUMMARILY TO THE NATIONAL LIST OF INTERESTING ANTIQUES. OCCASIONALLY, the war get us laymen all tangled up. Here ieti. Francis Greene, for in stance, who says: "With regard to the three great Pacific states, with a coast line 1.200 mile- in length, it true (hat the principal harbors are protected by strong. ni'Mlern.

upto-date fortification- etc They Merely Look Strong We've always had admiration for (ien. iirccrc ause of his bravery at Manila, but the Pacific coast line is not 1,200 miles long, but I.hOO, and the protection 'he principal harbors by the present fortifications is an empty dream, as everybody knows who knows anything about those fortifications. And what if all said harbors had the finest fortifications ever conceived of? The cities arc not located in the harhi.t-, but around them, and there's no law requiring the enemy to sail right up to the muzzles of guns in Take, instance, the lay-out at San Diego, whose fortification has just got an appropriation of some 5.V5.000. A hostile mosquito couldn't get by the forts and into the harbor, perhaps. But the forts are so located that a hostile fleet, with modern Runs, could lie a 400-lco' high point and shell the city in safety, and the landing places out of 'each of our fortifications arc plenty.

The same thing is true, in a degree, in respect of the other coast harbor defenses. Without a Pacific fleet our Pacific coast though s-trong, modern and up-to-date, which thev arc not a good deal, arc a matter for derision "the n.an behind the gun" if this is not so. He'll tell you it is so, if he isn't afraid to talk. SEATTLE "DOCTOR" found vertebrae in womin'i back. Then he found hlmeelf In jail.
