E. M. Weaver, Chief of Coast Artillery, Declares Defenses Are Ready, But There Are Not Enough Men to Garrison Them. Hundreds of plain American citizens are writing letters to the War Department every day asking- if it be true that the United States is wholly unprepared to meet a war. is impossible to tell whether all these letters are being answered or not, but if they are the answers hardly can be leassuring to the citizens who write them Take this excerpt from the report of Gen.

E. M. Weaver, chief of coast artillery, and learn from it what sort of a condition this country is in at present to conduct a defensive warfare against attack on coast lines and cities: DEFENSES AWAIT GARRISONS. defenses outside tlie continental L'nited Stites are practically ready tor their garrisons, and when these are pro-Aided theto will remain for home sun detensrs 170 officers and enlisted mt-n. which is about one-third of one relief." "One-third of one relief." This means slmph that when Panama, Hawaii, the Philippines and Porto Uico are protected that there will be leit in the l'nited States just one-third enough coast artillerymen to serve the puns, and when they are tired out "with the manning" there will be not one artilleryman to ko to the relief Congress has fixed the number of coast artillery companies at 170.

with a total force of 701 officers and 19,321 enlisted men. General Weaver says that this number is a "measer requirement lor the defenses of the L'nited States alone." Since the law was passed fixing the strength of the coast artillery, twenty-fie companies hae been withdrawn for service in the Philippines, Hawaii and Panama In the near future it will be necessary to take forty-nine additional companies from the coast defenses of the continental United States for service in the three possessions. Militimen Not Provided. It is said by the War Department officials that it was expected SO per cent of the personnel required for manning the pun and mortal batteries of the continental United States would be supplied bv the organized militia of the coast tftPtes, but this expectation has not bo'-n realized. With e.fry HcouraKcment extended the War Department to the military authentic of the coast States to create coast artillery and to assist in the defenses of their c't'es and harbois, the quota so far supplied is less than half what should be furnished.

It should be known that the sorv of the big suns, mortars and mines is one of hiRh technical requirement m-volvinj; considerable time to train officers and unlisted men eTc'i-ntlv to I'anrtle the armament, laiiKe-flndimr erjuioment. searchlights and the power aT.ct electrical apparatus connected therewith. On the outbieak of thn war "the roast line immediately becomes the threatened line, and thee is then no time available to train volunteers." Congress is to be at the- next possion to nact leg slat'on which will 'nireai- the Coast Artillery Corps by lh- number of offerers and enl'sted either have Lren or must be abstracted from the United States for oer the s-a servn e. and to provide thU hf-reafter whenever new fortification- authorized. prois'in for manni lg them shall be included 'n the Uk Nation which author zes the construction of the fort'ficatluns May Not Be Pleased.

DOUGLAS STORE: Paredness is such an old one to Congress that It may seem almost incred-ble that the House and Senate finally are to wake up to the actual necessities in the case, but there are signals flying that such is the case. Used As Infantrymen. To point up our unpreparedncss a little, let it be said that when the Mexican trouble broke out the coast artillery men from San Francisco and San Diego were mobilized for use as Infantrymen along the Texas border. The coast artillery man is not a trained infantryman, hut at anv rate with a country no bigger than Mexico threatening the United States It was necessary to call on the heavy artillery for foot soldiers for service in the Held. While they ere absent from their posts what would have happened to the cities from whose defense they were withdrawn if an attack had come from the sea? This coast artillery matter forms onl one phase of the unpreparednesa of the United States to defend itself in case anv nation worthy the name chooses to move to attack.

WASHINGTON LVE Capital Victim May Be Rosa Goldberg, Missing From Her Home in New York. Through the photograph and description of a missing girl, published in a New York Hebrew newspaper, Washington pollco todny believe they may have identified tho young woman who committed suicido by inhaling gas in a rooming house at 623 stroet northwest last Tuesday. The missing New York girl, according to tlie Hebrew newspaper, is Kosa Goldberg, eighteen, who disappeared on October 2C from her home, 23 Garrick street On that da sho left her home supposedly to visit a friend living in an other section of the city.

Jier Drotner, who lives at Ivongworth avenue, New York, had her photograph and description put in the paper. The picture of the mlsPlng girl resembles the voung woman who committed suicide here, although the picture in the newspapei. Judging by the style of the clothes, was taken several years ago The only discrepancy In the descriptions Is the age. Al the street house it was said by the landladv and others tbat the suicide was appnrcntl a woman twonty-three or twenty-four years old.
