made whereby all the guns which do
not train fore and aft or nearly so, can
be quickly and conveniently dismount-
ed, housed and secured, so as to leave
the ships side practically clear.
There viii be a sufficient number of
electric power hoists direct from the
magazines to the battery decks to fur
nish an ample supply of ammunition to
all the guns of the main and secondary
batteries; also suitable means for sup
plying the guns in the tops. The rate
of supply Of ammunition for the 6-inch
guns will be not less than six complete
rounds to each gun per minute. The
rate of supply of ammunition for the
14-pOunder guns will be not less than 10
rounds to each gun per minute. The

and guns. The cruisers have the fol-
lowing dimensions: Length. 500 feet;
breadth, 20 feet; draft. 261a feet. The
cost limit is S4.OOO.OO0 each.
These ships will have an aggregate
tonnage greater than the tonnage of all
vessels of all kinds in the naval estab-
Hshment a decade ago. They win cost
the government about ST. 100000 when
they are ready for commission. The
cruisers viii be practically twice as big
and powerful as the New York and
Brooklyn, which figured In the fight
off Santiago. Every armored cruiser
will be fitted as a flagship and will
have accommodations for 800 officers
and men. The speed must be at least
% knots an hour. The battleships will
. be the most powerful ever projected
although the Navy Department is con
sidering plans for a ship of 1000 tons

in condition to cope with powerful
and well-drilled force had long been
known to the naval authorities of this
country, but the trouble had been to
persuade Congress to make the appro-
priation necessary TO carry out the
plans that had been devised.
When the war came, however, econ
omy in this particular branch Of the
service was no longer possible. and
when the war had ended the people
had learned such a lesson that they
were willing to spend money in the
improvement of their armOred vessels.
They had learned that great battles are
often fought on the sea. and that to win
these battles good men are not all that
are needed. Good ships must be pro-
vided. and the country is now working
to provide these ships just as quickly
as possible.
When the fact is considered that it
was but a few years ago that this coun-
try was actually inferior to China in
it's strength on the seas, the wonderful
progress that we have made to the
third place in rank among naval powers
may be better appreciated, and the fact
that our navy is so new means that
1t is practically up-to-date. and this
alone is a great advantage in time of
conflict. There is no reason, therefore,

believe that with our sea fighting serv.

This is our present share in the
worlds activity in the building of war
ships. The remarkable activity dis
played by other powers in this line Of
enterprise is ominous. 1t is incumbent
upon us to be prepared for what may
come out of this feverish desire to ac-
1uire formidable sea fighters.
At the present time Great Britain is
building four first-class battleships'
three first-class armOred cruisers and
other ships to the number of two, with
many others projected. Since the COM
mencement of last year she has launch
ed 10 new vessels and is now contem-
plating building a number of subma-
rlne boats and "a other vessels of war.
Russia is building no less than p new
war vessels. During the year Russia
has launched three battleships, two of
which were built in this country.
Five first-class battleships are being
built by Germany. two cruisers, an ar
mored cruiser and a number of torpedo
BOAT destroyers. France has laid down
. a 12,OO0-ton armored cruiser, after hav-
ing launched three already during the
\ year, as well as a number of torpedo
I boat destroyers and submarine boats.
The American NAVY.
The American building program in
cludes six armored cruisers. Three of
these will be sheathed and will consti-
tute a most formidable part of our
navy The cruisers will be named re
spectively the Nebraska, California
Maryland, Colorado, West Virginia an6
South Dakota. The displacement of the
sheathed vessels will be 1880 tons
and that of the unsheathed cruisers
1900 tons.
