Marcel le Broun and Clarence FrancisDEFENSE PROJECTSBetween $5,000,000 and$10,000,000 Involved inLiWar Department Plans.Panama Canal defense projects under general discussion in the War Department, but not as yet put into definite shape fop consideration by Secretary Weeks, probably would represent an outlay of between $5,000,000 and $10,-000,000. That sum expended on the extension of France Field to accommodate a larger air force and upon the installation of modern sixteen-inch guns on the Pacific side. Mr. Weeks said today, probably would take care of the immediate requirements of the canal defenses.Experts Not n Unit.There Is some difference of opinion among the military experts as to where the additional big guns should be placed. One school of military thought, believes they should go on the islands lying off the Pacific entrance to the canal, while the othertakes the view that, the greatest efficiency of the new batteries wouldbe attained if they were installed on the mainland.Secretary Weeks reiterated that the whole question still is to be studied by boards of officers and thatsuch recommendations as the Army boards may make will then be reviewed ly the joint Army-Navy board. Jt appears unlikely that the project will contemplate a cost in excess of $7,000,000, including an expenditure of about $700,000 on France Field.Panama's Request (.ranted,A request from the government of Panama for authority to operate airplanes over the Canal Zone was granted by Secretary Weeks today,subject to regulations to be workedout between the Canal authorities and tlie officials of the Republic of Panama. A conference for that purpose will be held in the near future by Army and Navy commanders In the Canal Zone, canal authorities and Panama officials.The general permission granted by Secretary weeks would permit operation of either commercial or military craft by the Panama government over zone territory, ’ so long as they complied with prescribed requirementsENTERTAIN WITH MUSIC.Woodridge School Juniors AlsoGive Readings and Flower Play.The junior pupils of the Woodridge School presented their fourth annualArleighMaste Payne ; Bern ice Hoi me S.Honorary Degree*. }or of law.
