VandaIisI,,-

A good deal of vandalism on the
part of young boys is being in
dulged in. In the upper part OF
town crowd of them last night
took off peoples gates, rocked ped
estrians as they passed along the
streets. and to cap their devilment,
they rolled valuable saw-log be-
longing to MIR. P. @. McDade from
the top of the bank into the river.
This lawlessness on the part of
these young ruffians should be sup
pressed by the police. and little
Investigation in that part of town
will disclose the names of these
young devils.

ok SECRETARY TRACY
Says We are Carving on an 0ffensive
Warfare With Navy
MADE FoB DEFENSIVE WORK
ne believes It 70 ne the Plain Duty of
Congress TO Authorize Immeii-
atc5y CONSTRUCTION OF siS
Arlnored Cruisers.


Washington, May 19.-Ex-Secretary
Of the Navy Tracy of New York. UNI
der whose administration of the navy
department many of the battleships
and cruisers of our navy were project
ed and built, was at the navy depart
ment meeting his old associates and
talking with the officials on the status
of the present war General Tracy
was asked if our ships in their present
active service met the expectations he
had of them when the new navy was
being developed.
eTo judge from Manila, they are
meeting every expectation" said Gem
eral Tracy. %And yet 1 believe 1t to
be the plain duty of congress to au-
thorfze Immediately the construction
of six large armored cruisers of the
most modern type, even larger than
the cruisers New York and Brooklyn
s.These should be ordered in addition
to the ships authorized by the regular
naval appropriation bill. Now that we
are called upon to carry on offensive
warfare, the need of armered cruisers
lis imperative, and the lack of them Is
at present serious handicap.
"Our navy was developed on the
idea of being defensive navy, not an
offensive one.
ut was thought that If we ever had
a war 1t would be with one of the great
/ naval powers, capable of throwing
their vast naval armament against our
shores. To meet this onslaught we
| proceeded on the theory of having a
navy to protect our long stretch OF
coast, and incidentally to scout the
ocean and cause all the damage posi-
| BILE on the commerce which most of the
naval powers possess.
| For that reason we built our battle
ships and our armored cruisers. The
! battleship is essentially for defensive
purposes, as 1t lacks the speed essen
| tial to carry on effective offensive war
fare although of course it is a valuable
adjunct any line of war.
The unarmored cruisers, such as the
Minneapolis and Columbia, were de-
signed mainly as swift scouts. and also
as commerce destroyers.
eve find ourselves now at war with
| a nation which has little commerce to
be destroyed, so that the unarmored
cruiser has little work to accomplish
! in the line of its original purpose as a
commerce destroyer. although valuable
| as an adjunct in any line.
I'm short we are carrying on what
was not expected, an offensive instead
of defensive war, and as a result we
ought to have the ships capable of ex-
ecuting offensive warfare.
."The armored cruisers New York
and Brooklyn are fine ships of their
type and are exactly fitted for this line
| of offensive work.
They combine the features of heavy
armor and protected decks of an iron
clad together with the speed of a
cruiser. But what we need is more OF
them. The strength of the Spanish
squadron now in southern waters lies
in the fact that it has this type OF
armored cruisers with speed and pro
tective armor, suitable for offensive
| work.

Another thing, the man Yho
uses this definition seems 10 be
Ignorant of the fact that that char
acteristic is law-given character
istic. Why can you melt a gold
dollar without loss? Because you
can coin it without charge.
If you charge FIVE cents for con-
verting a piece of gold bullion in
to gold coin and you melt it, you
lose Ave cents because you have to
pay that to get it back into the
form it was before. The men who
talk about the melting-pot test
seem not to understand that gold
can be melted without loss simply
because the law suys you can coin
it again without charge.
Why, these people who talk
about the melting pot test ignore
the fact that the law discriminates
between gold and silver.
Let me give you the law as ap-
piled to this subject. The law
says, in substance, if a man puts
gold and silver in his house and
his house burns and the gold and
silver are melted. he can take the
gold to the mint and have it re-
coined into just as many dollars as
it made before, and that, too, with
out charge, but he must take the
silver to somebody who wants 10
use it to make spoons out of; he
can't have it coined at all. That
is the law.
Don't you see that this difference
of treatments has some effect? And
yet the advocate of the gold stand
ard will talk learnedly about "the
melting-pot test" and never refer
to the difference in the treatment
of the metals by law.
Then you will find people who
say that they could make a great
deal of money under free coinage,
buying silver at so cents, coming
it to hundred and making the
differences would only permit them
to make money.
Now put the question to your
self. IF we had law under which
you could take your silver to the
mint and have it coined into mon
ey at certain fixed price, would
you sell that silver to .omebody
else and LET him make the profit?
WHY. of course not.

the growing wheat on many farms.
Nothing like this deluge was ever

No NEW DETERMINATIONS
VIII BE Permitted to Join Army Under
the Volunteer Act

VIII Be Permitted to Join Army Under
the Volunteer Act.
Washington, May ia number of
applications have been received at the
adjutant generals office for copies OF
muster rolls with which to form the
nucleus of national guard organize
lions in the various states to take the
places of commands absorbed by the
recruiting In the volunteer army.
These applications come from per-
sons whose intentions the department
officials say may be all right, but who
apparently fail to comprehend the pro-
vision in the volunteer act bearing on
the subject of the admission of new or
CARNATIONS of the volunteers shall be
so recruited as to maintain them as
near to their maximum strength as the
president may deem necessary, and no
new organization is to be accepted into
service from any state, unless the or
CARNATIONS already In service are
as near to their maximum strength of
officers and enlisted men as the pres
ident decides shall be the case.
This provision, 1t is explained, is in
tended to prevent condition of affairs
similar to that which existed in the
war of the rebellion, when the veteran
regiments, depleted by active service
on the battlefield, were not recruited
again to their full strength. but new
regiments were constantly added to
the army.
This latter practice was reprehenst-
Bile in that it thrust raw and undis-
cipIined men forward into new organ
izations, instead of recruiting them to
the older and established veteran reg
iments.
1t is pointed out that few. If any. of
the regiments of the volunteer army
are recruited to their maximum
strength, and that if additional volun-
teers are called for they would be used
first of all to bring these regiments
up to the legal number provided by
law. Many of the regiments contain
less than 1000 men, whereas their
maximum strength is in the case OF
the infantry over 1900 men.
Another bad feature of the admis-
sion into the volunteer army OF the
new organizations is that it results In
a proportion of officers to soldiers
much larger than is contemplated by
law, which will not occur If the men
are recruited into the older regiments
