dals, flew away with it. and dropped it
ON the lap of Prince Tsammeticus, who

subject to arrest, a British cruiser
boldly and promptly levels her guns
and without warrant prevents the

Why? Does Great Britain presume
on American friendship to such an ex-
tent that she believes our government
will not ever resent an unwarranted
outrage on our flag If committed in
British interests?
And does this hypothesis fit, as it
would actually seem to, since no ex-
PLANTATION of the outrage has been
asked by Washington, or vouchsafed
by London?
1t should be remembered that the
seizure of American merchantmen on

A GREAT AMERICAN NAVY

The board of naval construction has
agreed upon the plans for three bat
tleships Of fourteen thousand tons each,
the greatest modern warships ever
built, to cost $1,000, 900 apiece, and to
be named respectively the Georgia, the
New Jersey and the Pennsylvania.
These great floating forts are but
the finishing touches of a proposed
batch of new vessels of all types which
when completed will place Uncle Sam
close to the front of the worlds great
est naval powers.
This is well. Our tremendous coast
line requires a great navy for its proper
protection, and even those most strong
ly opposed to militarism and the en-
largement of our standing army to i'm
perial proportions will not object to the
proposed increase of our strength on
the seas.
Our new navy has amply demonstrate
ed its usefulness, and it is a matter for
congratulation that the work begun a
decade ago by Secretary Whitney
should be carried to completion.
