Land Worth Millions of Dollars Washed Away by Atlantic Ocean Battle Waging Between Sea and Land Along Entire Length of America’s East- ern Shore Line, Washington, D, C., Jan. 19,—The washing away sca of land worth millions of dollars on the coast of New Jersey, pointed to re cently in the annual report of the di rector of the U, B, Couast and Geo detic Burvey, draws attention battle waged year in and year between sea and land along the entire length of America's castern line The to the out shore truth is that sea and land have s since the beginning of tim says a bulletin on the same subject issued from the Washington D, C, headquarters of the Nationa Geographie ) “According to the physiographers, these will remain such until the last moun- tain pinnacle has been washed down and ground to sand, and the victori- ous ocean rolly unbroken around the world, But wh er may be the out. come million years in the future, we are now in an era of give and take, Many acres—even square miles of land are lost annually; but com- pensating arcas are built up at other places. Continuing, the bulletin quotes as follows from a communication to the society by John Oliver La Goree scribing the “action” In portions the Atlantic sector where the nevers ending conflict rages most ruriously Waves Un¢ mine ClLffs, “Looking southward ac tern entrance to Nantuck sights Nantucket Island tance.

From Shinnecock Bay to Fire Island, a rampart of sand some 40 miles long has been thrown forward off the real shore line, and the sea, pounding against this in its maddest fury, encounters a buffer that throws it back a helpless and exhausted foe. Moreover, the sea is compelled to surrender captive sands taken up elsewhere, and these are re-equipped and put into the front trenches of the island’'s south shore defenses.
