normal growth. The money required
has got to be supplied and the changes
in question are inevitable. 1t is propos-
ed, to begin with, that the number of
officers shall be considerably increased.
There are to be lS rear admirals, where
as now there are only seven. OF cap
tains there are to be 20 instead of 45;
there are TO be 112 commanders instead
of SO; of Lieutenant commanders there
are to be 10 instead Of "a The num-
Der of lieutenants is to be increased from
$50 to 800, and there are to be $50 jun
ior lieutenants and ensigns instead of
the 1876 now ON the list.
This arrangement is not only going
TO swell the number of our sea fighters,
but is designed to bring into the navy
higher class of men. Already the change
has begun. The new recruits for the
navy, something like 8, 900 in number,
which have recently been secured, are
pronounced TO be the finest body Of men
ever taken into the American navy at
one time.
So we can fearlessly compare our Jack
Tars, man for man, with those of the
kaiser's navy. The German man-o'-
wars man is brave and fine sailor, but
we modestly submit that he is not the
equal in intelligence of the Yankee tar.
In the first place the American navy
has traditions, and though the general
public in this country is woefully igno-
rant Of the fact the American sailor re-
CARDS himself as the custodian of the
glorv Of Decatur, Paul Jones and Far
ragut. From the time he joins it the
sailor Of the American navy feels that
tre service to which he belongs has
been one which for over 100 years has
been victorious This gives him conf
dence, pride in his vocation, a stimulus
to deeds Of daring and conscientious
desire to learn as thoroughly as he can
the details of his profession.
The German navy has no such tradi-
tions and the enlisted man in the Ger
man navy is not TO be compared for
knowledge of his profession with the
American sailor. The world is just now
filled with the praise of "the man be-
hind the gun" in the American navy.
After all, the real object of firing off
gun is to hit something, and as gun
ners the Americans are certainly far
ahead Of the Germans Germany has no
schools for the training of her officers
and men which can compare with the

THANKED GEN. SHAFTER,
Catholic Total Abstinence Union Pleased
With His stand Against Liquor
Selling In the Army.

Boston, Aug. 13.-The last session OF
the national convention Of the Catholic
Total Abstinence union was held yes
terday in Fanueil hall. The first bust
ness was the adoption of a resolution
thanking General Shafter for the stand
he had taken against the use and sale
Of intoxicating liquors in canteens in
the army at Santiago and for his re
fusal to permit cargoes of beer from thu
United States to be landed there.
1t was voted to hold the next national
convention at Chicago on the second
Wednesday in August, 1899.
The election of officers for the ensu
ing year resulted as follows:
President, Bishop Tieruey of Hart
ford; first vice president, j. Washing,
ton Logue, Washington; second vice
president, Walter j. Gibbons, Chicago
third vice president, Mrs. Leonora M
Lake, st. Louis; treasurer, Rev, ID. +

listed men ahoat, and the number is to
be increased TO $4,000 before another
year has passed. AS for Germany, last
April she credited herself with 21, S35
lpen.
But our navy Is not to be allowed to
Shrink to its former size. Not only are
the 25, 900 men to be retained, but ar
rangements have been made for keeping
the foreoastles Of our greater navy filled
with good men from now on.
Under the new peace arrangement, in
addition to the 20, 900 enlisted men,
there will be 2, 900 boys under instruc-
tion, who are expected to occupy the
places Of petty officers, such as gunners'
mates, quartermasters. boatswains'
mates, carpenters mates, etc. Thus IS
will be seen that the navy of the imme-
diats future is to be enormously stronger
numerically and otherwise than the
navy Of few months ago 1t is but one
of many symptoms which show that
Uncle Sam is preparing to take a seri-
GUS part in the control Of the worlds
affairs.
Not only have all these matters been
fgured out in detail by the navy de-
partment, but there is every reason TO
suppose that congress at its next session
will enact into legislation various
changes which are necessary TO the evo-
luton OF the service along the lines Of
