where the weaknesses lie and where
improvements may be made. The type
OF vessels that have demonstrated their
worth TO the government are the bat
tieships and the armored, protected and
unprotected cruisers.
Several powerful battleships are on
the ways under CONSTRUCTION. while sew
eral more have been authorized Ap-
propriations amounting TO many mil
lions OF dollars have been made by con-
gress for the purpose OF building more
vessels. These, however. are not sufi-
cient TO put the navy on an equal foot
ing with the more powerful ones OF Eu-
rope. The officers of the construction
board have worked out several plans by
which the increase or the naval force
may he made. and 10 is stated that Sec
rotary OF the Navy Long will request
congress to add $50 1000. 900 TO the amount
already appropriated. This will be used
for the construction of nine vessels 9TH

read a very charming and somewhat
lengthy address. which contained
great deal of f,owery language. The
captain was 1T then and had to re-
ply. He is not an eloquent man at any
time. and he Is extremely shy, but he
had written out graceful speech of &C.
ceptance. and he stepped forward con.
fdently and received the banner.
Ladies'" he began In a Fourth Of
July voice. ladies. we will accept this
nag. Ladies. we--will accept this dae."
Here his color forsook him. He had
forgotten the rest Of his speech. One
trembling hand sought the pocket Of
his blouse. The manuscript was gone.
Ladies'" he began again desperately.
with q gulping kind Of gasp. ''ladieo,
we will accept this fiag-and-anA--and
thanks awfully. don't you know"
And, after all, the impromptu speech
was quite as effective as the addrsa,
he had prepared. but the captain doesn't
like TO talk about It.
