SECRETARY Lone recently said that
an American navy, manned by Ameri-
cans, was impracticable and he was at
= loss to understand how the report
spread that he would weed the foreign
born seamen who have never become
American citizens out of the navy. In
time of peace the lot of a seaman on
board a man-of-war is not an alluring
one. The pay is Insignificant and it is
q steady grind. The romance of q sea-
mans life is about the last thing dis
cernible when it comes to actualities.
So it is no wonder that native A,neri-
cans do not crowd forward for the
privilege of serving as sesmen.
