ATLANTIC INLAND WATERWAY OF MORE VALUE THAN CANAL PROMINENT PBILADELP'HIAN SATS DANGER TO EASTERN CITIES IN TIME OF WAR COULD BE AVERTED BY CONSTRUCTION OF WATERWAYS— NATIONAL DEFENSE SHOULD HAVE PRECEDENCE OVER OTHER MERITORIOUS PROJECTS. Theodore Justice, Commissioner of Fairmount Park, Philadelphia, is of the opinion that an inland waterway along the Atlantic coast, as a means of national defense, would be of even greater value than the. Panama Canal. "How many of us realise," said Mr. Justice, "that but for the sinking of the battleship Maine, the Panama Canal would to;day not even have been begun 1 When we were suddenly facing < war we found our fleet divided, one part in the Atlantic, the other in the Pacific, and each division liable to being defeated in detail. The long, hazardous trip of the Oregon around Cape Horn was a matter of intense anxiety and aroused the whole nation to the Panama Canal as a means of national defense, so that, in case of need, we could unite all our warships in one mighty fleet and in either ocean. ' In time of war," said Mr. Justice, "our great cities, New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and even Washington, the capital of the nation, might be at the mercy of united European fleets, but this danger would l»e fully averted, if the waterways that now conr.eet New York narbor with the Delaware River and Chesapeake Bay were deepened sufficiently to allow the passage of torpedo boats. This inland waterway would be safe from battleship attack ard would have all the advantages of a short inside line from which offensive warfare might be more safely carried on. The benefits indicated for the section from %Ne# York to Chesapeake Bsy would be vastly extended and multiplied with the completion cf the entire project, giving a protected waterway the whole length of th? Atlantic coast." ^ WHY NOT ADVERTISE T&EM T Cape May has two novelties of which people are rarely informed. One is a $250,000 pasture field on a hotel lawn, and the other an $8,000 swimming pool at the water works. The trolley should fce extended to the latter, and some sort of enclosure erected over it. It ought to be a peach of a swimming pooL
