at the beginning of the present admin
istration would be complete, but with
out them the United States navy, as
Secretary Roosevelt says in his above
quoted remark, would be inferior to
foreign ships, though nominally their
equal.
The Daschiel device. about which
there has been so much talk, consists
of mechanism, partly electric, by
which the guns are loaded and fired
automatically with startling rapidity.
By the movement Of a lever which is
pulled by the arm the gun is loaded
and discharged. 1t takes two men to
operate it; one to feed it and the other
to move it.
At each motion of the arm the gun
is fired by an electric battery; and so
quickly is it done that it can be loaded
and fired five times before the first
shot has reached it's destination.
This is for use in close engagement
and is what is known as a secondary
battery All the warships have PIT
mitive battery. but to be ready LOT
modern work they must also have thlS
secondary battery. The gun that Is
used carries a cartridge OF five or SIX
inches. These guns make admirable
coast" defense guns around the SIDES
of a warship, and if it is sufhclently
equipped with them there is no reason
why battle ship should not be able to
plough it's way through any hostile
fleet, discharging it's secondary battery
of rapid firing guns right and left and
ahead of it.
1t was stated that this device was an
invention of Secretary Long, and that
the talented secretary had also invent
ed other devices for remodelling war
ships and making them better for
modern purposes, but when asked
about this the secretary replied:
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt is
taking the most vigorous steps toward
bringing the navy where 1t sould be.
He now takes the point that we have
sufficient number of warships TO
meet. without embarrassment, any
navy that could conveniently be sent to
these shores. His embarrassment over
the Philadelphia as compared with the
Jauanese cruiser Naniwa has been
legsened by view of the new magnifi-
cent cruisers which met his eye on his
last tour of inspection.
An idea Of the cruisers as rated by
Secretary Roosevelt can be had from
this official document, sent by his rep

all the stunning effect Of the four dol

in the wear and tear. 1t will go to
pieces sooner than the expensive
brand. But as most women like to get
fresh gowns every two seasons it an

In using cheap materials be sure
that YOU select fancy designs A mod
iste on the Rue de la Paix showed me
some dresses that did not cost any
thing like the expensive sums asked
in the high-priced shops. Yet they
were every whit as pretty. They were
extensively made, silk lined and ele-
gantly finished. In making up cheap
material do not economic on lining

Secretary Long and Assistant Sec
rotary Roosevelt are busy these days
trying to make modern navy out of
a few new battleshIps and great
many old ones. Both gentlemen be-
lieve that in time of peace it is best
to prepare for war. And they are
making their aids do ''step lively
at the work of getting ready The old
adage, Never trouble trouble till
trouble troubles you" may be all well
enough for landlubbers, but it is far
too old-fashioned for the Secretary OF
the Navy and his vigorous assistants.
In report issued by the Assistant
Secretary of the Navy and published
in this newspaper, MIR. Roosevelt
says:
1T is better by far to have smaller
number of ships first class and equal to
any foreign ships as regards their
batteries rather than have a large
number of ships really inferior TO
foreign ships that are nominally their
equals.
THE real fighting efficiency of ships
like the Raleigh, Cincinnati, Marble
head, Montgomery and Olympia COM
pared with foreign vessels of the same
nominal class stands high, while the
reverse is the case Of ships like the
Baltimore, San Francisco and York
town.

had lost a ship like either of these
