AN INLAND NAVY.
Secretary Herbert Has a Plan to Make tn
Navy in the Interior.

Secretary Herbert Has Plan to Make the
Navy in the Interior.
WAsHINGTON, Nov. S8-In connection
with the strong presentation by Secretary
Herbert Of the necessity for the pro
curement of a mum Der of new torpedo
boats, a proposition has been made 70
him whereby the navy may be made very
popular in the vast interior of the
L nited States, WI ere 1t Is now al
most unknown, and. more impor-
tant still, the navy may hold At
its disposal large force of
trained sailors, particularly expert in
the torpedo services. which there is now
no adequate opportunity to develop.
The plan in briet is for the govern
ment to build large mum Der of torpedo
boats and to lend toe states naval milf
tia, to be used at any point on the river.
lake or even canal, where water may be
found TO navigate the M There are very
few states where the smaller boats of
this kind may not find some
water to navigate, and with the
inducements of the free use of such
craft It is not doubted that naval militia
men will be forthcoming in states where
there Is no other means Of drilling them.
Competent engineers and ordinance
officers would be detailed to instruct the
militia IN the use of these boats and the
men would be tree to avail themselves Of
them for drill and even excursions. with
the understanding that they should en-
pIoy no outside help, but would perform
every Office on the boat themselves. steer
ing, firing aud running the engines
It has already been esta blished that
the smaller torpedo boats can be moved
from point to point quickly by rail. SO
that in case of war a great number Of
these Indispensable craft could be con-
centrated at any threatened point on our
coast all manned by crews thoroughly
familiar with their boats and experts ia
pedo drill, constituting an adjunct of
almost inestimable value.
One Of the strongest features Of the
plan, which of course would require
sanction, is shat owing 10
cheapness Of the small torpedo boats az
compared with q full-sized war ship, the
very moderate appropriation. not more
than would be required TO build one
battle ship would procure fifty Of the
torpedo boats.
