WASHINGTON. Dec. 11 -A new pro-K'-um
for liicriwolri! the coast iIp'oheo
mid the mobile arms of llio t'nltcd Stnle
to tliclr tn.ixltmim pnidency, nt a cost of
I100.C00.MO, lias ben completed liy the
Wnr Dcimrtment.
The plun was developed after a thor
oukIi ourpy of the present defenses.
Tho proKram has been laid beforo the
Appropriation Committee of tho llouo
for Use In the preparation of thu fortl
flcntlotis appropriation bill.
Philadelphia will be KUjnled by a new
fort it '.euro, Del.
It t .iropoied to mount In the forts
guarding first-class cities U-lnoli bhih
now hold as a reserve Such guns will be
placed on the forts in the Delaware Itlvor.
The plan colls for as Its chief features:
Tho exclusive use or 15-Inch guns In .-(11
riew coast defenses, development of a
scmlmoblle Id-Inch howitzer, to be trans
ported bv r.illro.id or li motor tractors,
nnd to be the greatest arm of modem
times and the nrcumulitlon of reser
ammunition that will allow each gun in
the coast defenses us many rounds as
may be fired during the life of tho gun.
The immediate mounting of SI 12-iiicli
Kiins, now held as a reserve on new
carriages that will give them an In
creased range that will allow them to
stand off any modern battleship, has
been decided upon. These guns are to
be mounted at once to guard tlrst-class
cities, while the lii-lnch guns plan is being
carried out.
PLAN OP EXPBXDITUnUS.
Tho plan contemplates any expendi
ture of more than $M,000,000 cuer a period
o four or five years. Of this amount,
about JTl.O'O.OOO would be spent on de
fenses In the I'nited States proper, $11,
000,000 on defenses ill the insular pos
sessions, and marls $14,000,000 on defenses
for the Puna ma Cunul. A material fac
tor In tho Increased mono demanded Is
tho new plan to build up an ammunition
reserve Ileretofoio the coast defenses
have been provided with ammunition on
tho theoretical basis of two hours con
tinuous firing, and about $16,(HO.OOO of tho
total expenditures on the program will
go to furnishing the guns all the ammu
nition they can shoot. This Increase Is
explained by the Increased olume of
Are at the command of modern warships.
"If this plan Is carried out reasonably
and sanely." said Representative Shlriej,
chairman of the committee which handles
the fortifications bill, today, "the coast
defenses of tho United Stales will be ade
quate to perform the military functions
for which they were created.""
THE ARTILLEItV ARMS.
The War Department Is at work de
veloping three new artillery arms which
ere embraced In tho new plan They ai
the semi-mobile 10-inch howitzers, and
approximated 11-Inch howitzers for use
of the mobile artillerv and tho anti-aircraft
gun
The 16-Inch howluers aie designed to
be shipped ls railroad or by motortruck
and to be fired from specially built em
placements or from special railroad cars.
Where railroad lined run along the bea
eoast it is planned to run from the main
track a series of cuned spurs, from which
the big guns could fire at any seaward
angle in line with the tracks. In this
Mie tremendous recoil of the big guns
outd be taken up not only by recoil
springB, but by allowing the car to roll
backward under the force of the explo
sion. The War Department is now experi
menting along these lines
As an immediate additional protection
for New York and other large cities In
the present seacoast fortifications, pend
ing the building of 15-inch guns and 16
Inch mortars, lMnch guns with an ex
tended angle of elevation and Increased
range will be provided at once. The ex
perts believe that these guns, with their
increased range, will protect our coast
defenses from the most extreme long
range battleship tire.
Wurk wilt be started at once on the
New York defenses, and the 12-liich guns
will be Installed as rapidly as conditions
permit, The complete plans call for new
defenses at New York mounting 10 16.
Inch guns, four of the new 12-Inch guns
and 24 10-inch mortars
A new fortification is planned at Cape '
Jtenr to guard tne entrance to Chesa
peake Bay, and it will be started at once,
according to the program It will mount
four IC-Inch guns and eight 16-Inch mortars.

mined to strike hard and fast nt the Allies
before they can iecelo nn considerable
number of fresl reinforcements.
Ofllclal ndvlces from Ueilli. and Sofia
show that the heaviest fighting for tho
last few dns has centred nround Lake
Dolran and tho Vnrdnr Valley. The
Trench hnve been holding the left end
of the Allies' line, the Urltlsh hnvo been

AL.I,Ii:S' SHORTEN I.INH.
Hy the loss of Glevgell nnd Dolran the
Allies have had to contract nnd shorten
their line. This was not onl neccssan
for strategic purpose, but was compul
sory by reason oT the nature of the
ground across which tho allied retrcut
was conducted. Tho new bnttleiield is
no diffeicnt, to far ns topography is con

mouiitnlnous. sparsely populated nnd

Tho following Central News dispatch

LONDON, Dec. 14.
Hy nn arrangement with the Greek
Government, n clear load lias be-n left
for the British nnd Trench troops, who
hae carried out their retirement from
Serblu across the Greek frontier, to fall
back on Salonlca, which is being organ
ized as a base.
According to a dispatch fiom Athens
to Renter's Telegram Company, King
Constantino in tho course of an audience
granted the members of tho diplomatic
bodv at Athens on Saturday gae per
sonal assurances which are regarded as
satls.aetory.
Another dispatch to Router's, filed In
Athens jesterday. sas.
"As a result of the ngreement between
tho Greek General Staff and the allied
generals the division of the Gieek armv
which has been btultoned at Langaza,
has been withdrawn to Seres, about W
miles northeast of Salonlca. The zone be
tween Salonlca and Dolran Iui3 been left
free for movements of the allied troops.
"The allied military authorities today
took over a portion of the Custom
House at Sanonlia."
A force of W.tXK) Bulgarians and an enual
number of Austro-Germans Is being con
centrated between Monastlr and the
Greek frontier, according to a dispatch
to the Times from Salonlca. This force
Is said to Include a considerable number
of cava.ry troops.
The German ofllclal report of today
Claims that "approximately two English
divisions" were annihilated during the
retirement, but this Is considered heie an
exaggeration. Accounts from Athens and
Salonlca say the retreat was carried out
in an orderly manner and without heavy
losses. By tho destruction of railway
bridges and roads and by the stubborn
rearguard actions the Bulgarians were
kept at a fairly safe distance.
The question now arises whether the
Bulgarians and Austro-Germans Intend
to follow the British and French troops
Into Greece, and what action the Greek
Government will take should they do so ,
patches is that neither the Bulgarians
nor the Turks, who also are reported to
have arrived near the frontier, would be
welcomed in Greece, and that, therefore,
if It Is decided to follow the Entente Al
lies the task will be undertaken by Aus
trlans and Germans,
