A BIGGER NAVY.

The sentiment in favor of a bigger
navy is becoming stronger. This is due
largely to the fact that we would be
at a great disadvantage if we should be
drawn into the Venezuelan imbroglio.
Comparisons between our navy and
those of Great Britain and Germany
have been freely made since the begin
ming of the Venezuelan trouble. 1t is
admitted of course that the British
navy is much larger than ours, and now
Germany no longer considers that our
navy is worthy of being compared with
hers. Both Great Britain and Germany
are spending vast sums on battleships
and cruisers. Germany is striving to
make her navy as powerful as that of
Great Britain and Great Britain is
striving to maintain her superiority.
Naturally the increasing strength of
the navies of these nations is causing
feeling of uneasiness in this country.
At dinner given in New York on
last Wednesday night Rear Admiral
Lord Charles Beresford of England
said: 'Battleships are cheaper than
war;" Much is expressed in that single
sentence. 1t is true that it conveys no
new thought, but it puts what has been
in mems minds for long time in such
shape that it appeals strongly to the
common sense of the country.
We are now engaged in a commercial
war with other nations and the
need of strong navy may be felt
at is, 8
at this time, with the fleets of three Eu-
ropean Powers threatening one of the
South American states, we do not feel
the need of a stronger navy. 1t is true
of course that battleships and cruisers
cost a great deal of money and the ex-
pense of maintaining a large navy is
large, but even a little war; like the
Spanish-American War, costs more
than would build several navies Of the
size of ours. Assuming that battle
ships prevent wars, the question is this:
Is it not cheaper to build and MAIN
tain powerful navy than to engage In
wars?
Capt. Hobson is out of the navy, and
perhaps he is no longer regarded as an
authority on naval matters, but the
day before his resignation was accepted
he said in an interview that many of
the ships of our navy were absolutely
useless, that our navy was behind the
times and that it was undermined. 1t
has been admitted of course for a long
time that our navy is lacking in men
and officers. but it was not generally
known that it was out of date and that
many of its ships were useless. Capt.
Hobson must be mistaken when he says
that many of our ships are out of date.
1t has been but a few years since we
began to build the new navy. Accord
ing to his view. however. it will take
$l50,000,000 to put our navy OH anything
like an equality with that of Great
Britain or even that of Germany.
Is not this statement of Capt. Hobson
of sufficient Importance to justify an
inquiry by Congress? The people were
under the impression that our navy, for
its size. was without a superior. Its
work in the Spanish American War sur
prised the world. Is it possible that it
is the out-of-date institution which
Capt. Hobson says it is? If it is, the
people would like to know it.

But it takes an expert who has had
years of study on the anatomy of the
eye and reflection of light to give
PERFECT SIGHT and at the same
time relieve all strain from the nerves
and muscles of the eyes. In the seven
months I have been in Savannah I
have tested and fitted glasses to over
1000 people, over half of which was
wearing glasses that did not fit, and
great many with second and third
quality lenses. Does this speak well
for our city? I think not. You do not
run any risk in getting your glasses
from us. You want them right-ex-
actly right. You are secured against
even the possibility of error.
