the British merchant service on the At
iantic and other seas that can be taken
by that government for warlillc pur-
poses. The Inman liners, the City OF
Paris and the City of New York, came
under the arrangement which was
made when they were building. The
United States government, SO far MS is
known, has not yet contracted with the
Toledo ~ Ann Arbor company to use
the latters boats in the remote contin-
gency of hostilitics, but the navy de-
partment sent naval officers to INSPECT
them with view to their being utilized
IN case of war. They were built at the
yards of the Craig Shipbuilding COM
pany, of Toledo, o.
John Craig, the founder and present
head of the Craig Shipbuilding COM
pany, was born in New York city in
1858 at the breaking out of the late
rebellion he was engaged to rcfit num-
Der of schooners and steamers from
merchant men to gunboats. After car
rying on business near Detroit he re-
moved to Toledo and equipped his
yards with an improved and complete
plant for the construction of iron and
steel vessels.
The firm has done much work for the
government of the United States.
Lieut.. Godfrey L. Garden reports that
any one of the boats can be converted
IN all respects into harbor defense
ram, and with rapd-fre battery well
protected by steel shields can Justly be
expected to silence any craft the British
are able to send through the Welland
or st. Lawrence river canals. The new
vessels have displacement of $3.50
tons; they are 2G7 feet in length, with
beam of So feet. They have three
screws, one on each quarter and the
third in the bow. The engines arc what
are known as the horizontal compound
type Which will develop a speed of four
teen knots per hour.
The adaptability of the new vessels
for ramming purposes will be best I'M
derstood when it is known that the hull
construction is of oak up to two feet
above the water line. At the water
line there has been provided belt of
iron extending all around the vessel
and having uniform width of six feet
throughout.
Extending aft from the bow for q
distance of fifteen feet is n solid and
massive backing of oak A steel cord
runs round the vessel nipping together
the oak backing. Every few feet this
steel cord is connected with steel ties

many years the single iron sidcwhecl
steamer Michigan, which now rates
0S5 tons, and carries four howitzers.
Now let us see what Great Britain has.
There are the two gunboats Constance
and Curlew, launched this year, and
which have just gone into winter quar-
ters A third gunboat, the Petrol,
launched on Owen sound during the
month of November last, will not be com
missioned before the opening of spring
navigation. She is now at the yards of
her builders, at Owen Sound, and will
receive her battery during the present
winter. The British will keep the Con-
stance and Curlcw in commission
throughout the winter. Both ships will
bc ready for active service at any mo-
ment. The Petrol when commissioned
will also remain continuously in service.
This is the first time in tho history of
Great Britain's control Of Canada that
three modern highly efficient gunboats
have been deemed necessary for the
protection of Canadas lake frontier.
There was much secrecy surrounding
the construction of the ships, and care
was taken to avoid their inspection by
outsiders. 1t would appear that Great
Britain's policy is that of n general de-
fcnse of the Canadian frontier and is
the direct outcome of the growing an
neXation feeling, both in Canada and
In the United States.
For military purposes England must
hold Canada Mt all hazards. It Cives
her doclSyard at Esquimault, her only
naval station on the eastern side of the
Pacific, and it enables her to send
troops to India and her other Asiatic
possessions by the Canadian Pacific
railroad through her own territory.
The armament of the Petrol is evil
IDENTIFY meant for aggressive purposes.
She will carry in her battery one
47-inch Observation-Disclosures rapid-fre
supplemented by battery of 6-pounder
Maxim ordenfeldt guns. The 47-inch
inch rife throws projectilc weighing
As pounds distance of five miles at a
rate of fire of 25 shots per minute, The
6-poundcr Observation-Disclosures gun can
throw 45 shots per minute and can
pierce finch steel plates ut range Of
100 yards. The other boats have similar
batteries. Thus, in the event Of n war
with the United States, cities like
Chicago, Milwaukee and Cleveland
would be at the mercy of Great Britain
and we should be practically powerless.
To oppose the immense British fleet
which could be brought into the lakes
the United States has the three revenue
cutters, johnson, Fessenden and Perry,
and the very weak war vessel Michi-
gan. The situation would indeed be
very serious were it not for the happy
thought of Mr. j. M. Ashley, Jr., the

vice president of the Toledo, Ann Arbor
& North Michigan railway, who con-
ceived the plan Of building gigantic
ferryboats for his road. which boats
can be converted into warships at
twenty-four hours notice Two of
them have already been launched
They are of great strength and carry
twenty-four freight cars each from
Kcwaunee, Wis, to Frankfort, Mich,
across Lake Michigan, distance of
sixty miles, without breaking bulk
This route is operated by several COM
panies, including the Green Bay, Wi
mona & st. Paul, the Grand Trunk, the
Delaware, Lacllawanna e. Western and
the owners of the boats, the Toledo &
Ann Arbor company. These companies
are in very close relation with each
other, and for traffic purposes it is prac-
tically one line.

hundred tons of coal is the capacity of
the coal bunkers, sufficient for sixty
days continuous steaming without re-
coaling. Gun ports can be marked off and
cut through for the mounting of broad
side rifles. The battery of these YES
sels-they are all called cam Arbor,"
numbered one, two and so on-cau be
made up by as heavy ordnance rifles as
the navy department may desire This
cannot be said of other vessels on the
lakes, rs their decks are too light to
bear the heavy guns. The naval author
tiles have long been of opinion that a
few fast gunboats, armed with rapid
fire guns, can play havoc with the lake
shipping and the lake ports.
England's ability to send large feet
into the lakes has been Il matter of dis
cusslon and consideration in Washing
ton for some years. The building of the
boats described goes long way toward
the settlement of the problem of
efficient defense on the part of the
United States
The new British revenue cutters, in
the opinion of the United States naval
experts, constitute n naval force, and it
bchooves the United States to be watch
full.
Hon. j. NJ. Ashley, the president of
the Toledo t& Ann Arbor railroad, was
member of five congresses, from 1853
to 1858, was governor of Montana in
1869 and was also lieutenant governor
of Ohio. 1t was his son j. NJ. Ashley,
Jr., the vice president of the road, who
planned the construction of the boats.
1t was decidedly original and bold
idea to build n vessel capable of carry
ing heavily-laden freight cars across
the lakes in the stormiest weather, and
to have the boat of such strength and
character that she would be easily con-
vertible into warship. 1t was by no
means an afterthought on the part of
the junior Ashley. Long before the
first boat was launched he stated that
the Ann Arbof No. 1 could be used as n
lighting vessel, and naval experts
have confirmed Mr.. Ashlcy's judg-
ment. Thus, with this gcntlcman's
forcthought and patriotism, Uncle Sam
may feel secure on the lake border. as
with these car ferry boats the United
States will have the nucleus of n suit
able feet of vessels, which, had they
been intended exclusively for war pur-
poses, could not have been better de-
signed to resist any aggression on the
part of Great britain on the lakes.

Under the 1917 treaty the naval de-
tense to be maintained on the great
lakes is limited to one war vessel for
Great Britain and one for the United
States. Great Britain has never found
it necessary to maintain her single
warship owing to her ability ut any
time to run fifty or more gunboats into
the lakes from the ocean by way of the
Canadian canals.

on the lakes is now and has been for
