Rlsley. i The action of the Chamber of Com- i soerce of Cape May County Seashore i Bason, and of the Board of Trade -1 Cape May Ctty. asking for the erection ' ef a fort at Cape May Point, is re- 1 ceivinK more than State-wide attention, i Although the suggestion came ton , late u permit of Its incorporation in I Secretary of War Garrison s prepared-

tees program, there is yet. time for its adoption toy Congress in the general scheme of appropriations for military purposes. If 'this is to be done, howcv< r. it can be accomplished only by an emphatic demand on the part of those most vitally interested that such a fort be erected. As president Luther C. Ogden. of the Cape May Board of Trade, WrJ- ably pointed out in the conferences which our committee had with Congressman Wm. J. Browning of Camden. and J. .Hampton Moore, of Philadelphia. the proper protecfion of the motlth of the Delaware River Is not a local Question. I f a coast defense fortification is to .be erected si Cape May Point, it will be because of the strategic valus of that location, and not bceause such a fortification is needed any more by the people of Cape May City than it is by any Other inhabitants of the great States. Pennsylvania. New Jersey and Delaware. Delaware Bay Is the mouth of the great river upon which these rich and populous states border, and. while Cape May City is to be congratulated upon its situation on the very threshold of such a mighty gateway, it Is absurd in the extreme to assume that the guarding of this portal is any more the business of Cape May people than it Is the business of the people of Wilmington, Qbester. Philadelphia and. Trenton or .any other cities In thesel states. A "Knock" From Delaware. Mr. Ogden's emphasis of these points . showed an almost uncanny foreknowledge of what was likely to occur. Scarcely had the report been sent out that the people of Cape May County were manifesting sufficient patriotism to call for the proper protection of the north side of Delaware Bay thaniihlng* began to happen over -In Delaware. This is indicated by the following dispatch in the Philadelphia North American from Georgetown. Del., under <lauof November 70th • Urging the erection of a fort atHenlopen.

Furthermore, an enemy's fleet of, say. twenty battle cruisers and battle ' ships, would have to attack abredst and not In column formation. They would . probably approach in the form of a crescent, the right wing of which would • probably be almost opposite Cape MayCits.
