To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If we leave undone those things that should be done, where our dereliction is greatest the punishment will be the most severe. Jf an enemy should have undisputed possession of the locks at either end of the Canal for a few hours only our water- way across the continents could be placed out of com- mission for the war and our naval strength in -either ocean could only be augmented after the long" iournc\ around the Horn. Whether one of the coasts in a republic such as ours could or would prevent... in time of war a transfer of its naval protection by way of the Horn to the other coast, especially if a mysterious appearance of an enemy's cruiser or two were reported at times, you can guess as well as I. We all remember, however, the number of phantom Spanish Fleets that continued and continued to appear off many places on our eastern coast in the Spanish-American War, until Ccvera was actually located in Santiago Harbor, and we all remember the force brought to bear to have each city especially guarded.
