Hays (ha Country Has no Good Tor pedo System. Washington, Nov. 30.—Brig. Gen. Story, chief of artillery, in his annual report to Gen. Chaffee, dwells on what he regards as the most urgent de mands of the coast defenses. “To secure at the present time,’’ he continues, “the greatest measure of na tional safety at the last cost, the en tire torpedo defense of our harbors should at once be made complete;” and, he adds; “If we were suddenly confronted by war no amount of money could procure submarine mines in time to be of service for our harbor de fense." The report further says that with complete material for torpedo defense, it is practically valueless without a trained personnel carefully instructed how to operate it, and that to-day we are substantially without a force. Only 400 men can be assigned, he says, for a service requiring about 5,000. Gen. Story says there has been de veloped in our coast artillery a system of fire action, which, as far as he can ascertain, is not equaled in the world, but its accomplishment, he says, de pends upon a standard equipment, which is not completely installed in any of our haibors. “The poor showing made by the Rus sian coast artillery at Port Arthur against the Japanese fleet has caused surprise," the report recites, “but the explanation is that the artillery there, when the ranges are 10,000 to 12,000 metres, does not shoot at all or shoots without results.” The report adds: “It would be impossible, if we have our position finding equipment com pletely installed, for hostile ’vessels to remain 10,000 or 12,000 metres from our batteries of 12-inch guns or mortars for two or three hours and not be de stroyed. I regret, however, to have to say that even at this day most of our fortified hai bors are not better supplied with a position finding equipment than apparently is Port Arthur. * * "If war were to break out we would not have the trained forces required to serve our guns effectively. However, good our guns are,' yet one-half of them would not be of much more use than so many tons of inert metal.*’ FOR KOIIHINU A WOMAN Negro W Sentenced In Macon for Five Yearn, Macon, Nov. 30. — For burglarizing the house of Amelia Camael, a Syrian woman, Lindsay Williams, a negro, was sentenced to the penitentiary for five years by Judge Felton this after noon. Several months ago the woman found the negro ransacking her trunk. She seized the negro, and in the struggle that followed her assailant dropped part of the money he had stolen from her. Later, while peddling her wares, she met the negro, recognized him, promptly pounced upon him and bore him to the ground. Assisted by the police, she then had the negro arrest tr'ed the Recorder’s Court and held for trial in the Superior Court "hew he was to-day found guilty on the charges of burglary. TALK FROM COL.
