American Defense Society Sends Let- ter to President Yesterday. ‘Washington, Sept. 4.—President Wilson yesterday received a telegram from the American Defense society pledging support to his plan. The telegram follows: “Your Excellency’s call for a defi- nite defence program for submission to congress based upon expert opinion in the army and navy, deserves united endorsement of the country to arouse the public and its representatives in congress to the need of an adequate army and navy as outlined in your statement. We pledge our remitting support.” Inquiries have been addressed by the navy department to manufactur- ers it was announced today, as to the available output of materials needed by the navy in time of war. The official statement says it is a purely routine step. The inquiry is directed mainly to ascertaining the available supply of structural material for ship- building and for ships stores. List- ing available merchant vesels for col- liers and supply ships also has been undertaken. The scove of the investigation is broad, reaching from war munitions ta available transportation lines at sea or ashore. SUBMARINE BASE AT NEW LONDON Government Selects Connecticut Town in Plan For Inner Defense Line Of Underwater Craft. Washington, Sept. 4.:—The first of the American submarine bases con- templated in the plan for an inner defence line of submersibles along all coasts will be located at New Lon- don, Conn. The buildings of the coast guard training school, aban- doned in 1911 will be used to house the men of the submarine fleet de- tailed to that portion of the Atlan- tic coast. The navy department is working out details and the new base probably will be in operation in a very short time. It is planned to give crews of coast defense submarines shore quarters. The ships will run out to sea on daily cruises or on patrol duty during the day and return at night to the base. Eventually it is propased to have similar stations all along the coast. HOLD UP U. 8.
