force that could render invasion possl- ble-that is, the enemy's fleet. In other words, it defends by taking the oiten- sive. It's purpose is defensive though its methods are offensive, It acts on the principle enunciated by Farragut-'the more you hurt the enemy the less like ly he is to hurt you" But navy can hurt badly-that Is, 1t can achieve the decisive ends of war-on it's own ele- ment alone. It is as i'll qualified to at- tack coasts as it is directly to defend them, Indirectly it can defend them completely by acting on a vigorous or fensive against the organized naval forces of it's adversary, directly It can defend them only inadequately and can attack them hardly at all. For oVersea operations of any moment agalnst nos tile territory the cooperation or the naval and military arms IS essential, and when that business is on hand the army becomes the offensive force prop erly so called, but only on the condition that the navy has first discharged it's defensve function to the full by estab- fishing it's command of the sea and thereby securing the communication of the army.
 It is certain, on the one hand that well-equipped forts will rarely be at tackled and never overcome by ships alone, but this is no argument for pass i've and sedentary coast defense, be- cause it is equally certain, on the other hand, that no forts, however well equipped, will prevent invasion or in ment by an enemy who has established an assured command of the sea and possesses military force adequate to the undertaking. Hence the question of the sufficiency or insufficiency of coast for tifications cannot be profltably or even
 intelligently discussed in the abstract
 and without regard to the postulate or datum of sea supremacy. This is the
 great truth which Golden clearly dis cerned more than generation ago, and
 which Captain Mahan seems in some degree to have missed in spite of the eX- periences of the late war For this country at any rate, the problem can | only be stated, as Golden almost alone
 among his contemporaries had all the insight to perceive, in the terms pro- pounded by "Navalis''; Tt is essential that our navy should be able to take the offensive on the sea; if it cannot do so, we perish as great nation. Given 1 this condition, what probable demands can be made upon passive coast an
 swer." The history of the late war sup plies the same answer for the United 1 States. Cuba could never have been
 freed nor Spain defeated if the navy of the United States had been unable to 1 take the offensive on the sea- Captain 1 Mahan has done us the honor of cuot- i ing with approval our statement that
 'the moment Admiral Cervera's fleet | was destroyed the war was practically ! at and end" Surely if the naval force ] of the United States was equal to the ! destruction of Admiral Cervera's fleet | it was fortiori more than equal to the l protection of it's own coasts.-The Lon- l don Times.
