ministration of the naval department.
The absence of any provision for armored
vessels. either battleships of cruisers, has
attracted special attention, but the ex-
PLANTATION is to be found in the statement
that the secretary thinks it would be I'M
wise to build any more fighting vessels
so long as there are not officers enough
for those already built. 1t is intimated,
however, that in his annual report he will
express his willingness to favor appro-
priations for battleships am armored
cruisers If congress will adequately in
crease the force of officers and men.
The naval ANNALS of the other great
nations have appeared and they present
some striking comparisons as to how the
names Of these nations will stand in
1906.
The following comparisons refer only to
battleships and cruisers.
Three years hence Great Britain, it is
estimated, will have 81 battleships and
20 cruisers co armored); France, 80 bat
tleships and Is cruisers (23 armored); Rus
STA, % battleships and 10 cruisers 6 ar
mored); and the United States, 20 battle
ships and sixteen cruisers QS armoreO;
while the United States stands fourth
on the list in point Of numbers it is third
in point of total tonnage, and 1t is fully
equal in proportion as to armor and arma-
ment
We have not kept up with other nations
in personnel. The British navy has q
total of 1l6.5OO men; the French. 1O5,OOO
the italian, less than three-fifths the
size Of ours. 56.OO0;, and the German, Co.
900; while we have about 5000.
1t will be absurd to build more ships
unless congress shall provide promptly
for an increase of men, as we have by
no means a sufficient force to run the
ships we have already. Secretary Moody
has taken a wise. course in calling atten-
ton to disproportion between vessels and
men before making estimates for more
fighting vessels.

SECRETARY MooDY's ESTIMATES

The new secretary Of the navy, ex-Con-
gresham Moody. of Massachusetts,, has
put forth the first estimates for his de-
partment that have yet come from him
and they call for a much smaller amount
than was expected.
These estimates are for the fiscal year
Of 10000
The total amount for all naval pur-
poses is $50. $4,000. We have lately been
proceeding with naval construction at
such a great rate that IT is rather sur
prising to find only $4,000 is required by
the secretary for new ships and these are
for training purposes. The estimates for
equipment are very liberal. including
over Sl50OO,OO0 for machinery, armor,
armament and target practice ammuni-
ton.
The pay estimate for the navy is $1,000,
600. and the remaining estimates for
bureaus. public works, navy yards.
docks, supplies, the marine corps, etc,
amount to S29.OOO,OO0.
Secretary Moody has made a great re-
duction below the estimates to which we
had grown accustomed The country is
encouraged to expect that there will be
no extravaganza under the present ad-
