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. It Philadelphia were di

today'.' Being inland, but not too re
