MIMIC U.S.A. WAR
IX PANAMA ZONE. j AX.I. ARMS ENGAGED. c CANAL PROVES WXNERABX.E. XEYV YORK, January 25. The correspondent of the "New York Times" at Colon states that the Board of Xaval and Army Umpires following four clays' manoeuvres off the Panama Canal, in which the Atlantic and Pacific 1 fleets were divided into so-called enemy ' and defending armadas, decided that the 1 canal is extremely vulnerable to attack, f and unless 30,000,000d0l is provided for defences the United States would be I unable to save this important thoroughfare from destruction by an chewy Tower in time of war. The manoeuvres, which were the most ■extensive in American history, took the forni of a mimic war, in which the army and land defences, the air forces, anil every branch ot the navy participated. The Board indicates that the battle- ') ship demonstrated" its active usefulness ■ in 'the manoeuvres, and fast deetroyers, ' submarines, and aeroplanes proved indispensable. The important unit of modern ! sea power remains indisputably' the ' battleship.—(A. and X.Z. Cable.)"
