WHEN BLOWS MUST COME.
Secretary McAdOO Speaks Q
the Naval War College.

NEWPORT, r. l., June 13.-The COM
mencement exercises of the United States
Naval War College, on Harbor Island.
opened in the college hall at 10 o'clock this
forenoon. Assistant Secretary Of the Navy
McAdoo delivered the opening address. His
speech was in part as follows:
TT seems an anomalous thing that at a
season of such profound peace We should
meet here today to inaugurate the study Of
war as a profession. 1 presume there will
be glowing optimists who will criticise your
labors and fail to appreciate their value.
Trite and commonplace as are the hack
neyed expressions used by those who depre-
cate the horrors of war. yet the thing itself
Is and must be in many Of its features saw
age. barbaric and repellant. Sharing the
love for peace which grows slowly with
our advancing civilization. 1 yet cannot
blind myself to the fact that we are very
far indeed from an age In which force Is
not the handmaiden Of civilization itself.
There are wrongs deeper than the wounds
Of war and indignities more awful than its
horrors. So long as the contending ele-
ments of good and evil exist. so long as
right and wrong struggle for supremacy,
so long as iron prejudice defends injustice
so long as the strong Cypress the weak and
moral right cannot restrain the cruel hands
of prevailing might. 80 long the sword will
be still powerful and controlling in the fate
II am not here to eulogize the navy Of
the United States. Its proud record Is
complete answer to its btterest critic. 1t
was exceedingly At, however. that a school
for the study, both theoretically and prac-
tically, Of the art Of naval architecture
should have been founded contemporary
with the national effort to rebuild our
navy. Nothing could be more fit than to
inaugurate here the most profound and
exacting study Of naval tactics and STRAIT
egy for 1t must be confessed that the sum
OF our actual knowledge is as yet small.
Our Achilles heel Is at the waters
edge. A million men on shore could not
prevent the tremendous and certain de-
struction which would be wrought by the
explosion Of a monster shell filled with
high explosives In one of our cities. fired
from the great guns of a battleship lying
safely beyond the range Of our nearest
fort. Five hundred men on q battleship,
well handled by a master Of his art, might
save from destruction that which a hun
dred thousand men on shore could not re-
store. And while our country is possessed
of vast material resources, especially in
the great valley of the Mississippi, still in
the very nature of things. our store houses
are upon the seaboards. and this will con-
tinue as long as the great oceans are the
free highways of all people"
Secretary McAdoo concluded with q
graceful tribute to the officers Of the school
and expressed the hope that some new and
valuable features might be added each
year to the work.

the Interior that Secretary Smith Will send
to Congress a letter which he recently
received from Commissioner Lamoreux OF

posed amendment to the pending sundry

ditions under supervision Of the director

appropriation OF $2OO,OOO for the making of
Topographic surveys under direction Of the
geological survey and $4,000 for the sur
vey Of private land claims. to be made
