And her kids blov'd hand lay lightly,

Senator Lodge made a short speech
while the Naval Appropriation bill
was being discussed by the Senate
which is regarded as an official no.
tice to Europe that this Government
ir prepared to fight to maintain the
Monroe Doctrine, if necessary, which
was supplemented by Senator Daniel
with a few remarks, showing that
the maintenance of the Monroe Doc
trine, is the one important question
upon which there is no political di-
vision in the Senate. incidentally
MIR. Lodge served notice on Germany
that no dickering for the possession
of the Danish West Indies would be
tolerated by this government. 1t
was nota jlngo speech, but plain
statement of the situation. Said
Mr.. Lodge: my reason for desiring
more ships and desiring them quick
ly is my belief that the safety of the
u. S. depends upon the strength of
our Navy. We do not need the
Navy for the protection of our in
sular- possession. The danger lies
in our great coast line and in the
defence of the Monroe Doctrine in
this hemisphere. OF the relation
of a stronger Navy to the Isthmian
Canal, Mr.. Lodge said 1--WE are
about to enter upon the construction
of an Isthmian canal, and we must
be the naval masters of the Carri-
bean sea. We must have a more
powerful feet than we have to- day
The safety of the canal depends up
OH the strength of our navy. AL
admit that the canal ought to be
built, and the time is near when
the work will be begun. If we are
to protect tine canal rs well as Oul
coast, we must have a navy proper
tionately strong. hope and belieV,
that we shall have no war, but 1
great feet is the best insurance o
peace However, we would be fool
ish, indeed, if we should close on
eyes to the possibilities of the situa
tion. We could never allow thu
Danish islands to pass into an.
other hands than ours. Any Euro
pean nation which should undertak
to take possession Of those islands
right on the road to the Canal, an
to make them a great naval statioi
would by that very act become a
enemy of ours. We could submi
