SSURAXCBS have gone forward to the Philadelphia Chamber of Com merce that the city Is well protected against an invasion of hostile aircraft. When the startling newt" ot a sub marine Invasion was flashed along our coast nnd the lights were turned out In New York City, some fear was ex piessed for the safety of City Hall and the large munition establishments In tho vicinity of Philadelphia Through members of Congress here the War nnd Navy Departments were consulted, and the result was reassur ing. The Secretary of AVnr explained that the exact plan of protection could not be made public, but that It em braced Boston, Baltimore, New York nnd Washington as well as Philadel phia. The Secretary of the Navy was equally cautious as to the plans ngreed upon by the departments nnd the Allied forces, but Intimated that they weie comprehensive and included n system of patrol upon which the country could tely. In this connection the strategic po sition of Philadelphia Is woith noting. It Is more than tlfty-flve miles inland from the coastline and Is 100 miles from the ocean by way of river and bay. Baltimore and Washington are equally well sheltered. They have a decided advantage In this respect over the more exposed ports of Boston and New York.
