forts which will be equipped with powerful guns and of course the accuracy of guns on shore Is much greater than that of those on I do not believe the moving vessels forts would be attacked from the sea before the enemy had fought’and won a naval victory” The forts of which Colonel Goethals spoke are nearing completion and the for many of the heavy emplacements guns already have been constructed
