power That there are men who can be brought
into the service and who will be credit to
themselves and their country is indisputable
There is that class who may be enlisted as ap-
prentices and receive training during their mi
norfty Another class consists of those who have
passed beyond the age Of apprentices, the
young men from the interior, who would be
most satisfactory element because Of their nat
urally good character. But 1t takes time to
train such men. A plan has been outlined by
some navy officers to accomplish this very
thing. 1t is proposed to establish great train
ing station in the region of the Great Lakes,
and this would do much toward providing
trained crews for the national fleet. From that
section of the country the government recruited
nearly four thousand sailors for the Spanish
war, men OF Skill courage and discipline. 1t Is
also proposed to put into commission one of the
ships having sail power, with authority to en-
list and train men for the service. There are
various sections of the country where recruit
ing could be done for training, and such re-
cruts would represent the best qualities of
American physical manhood, hardy, well sea-
soned, loyal and efficient sailors, the highest
Ideals OF Americanism.

ENLISTED FORCE OF THE NAVY.

The Naval Appropriation bill in the form
in which it WAS enacted. provides that three
thousand additional men may be recruited
upon the passage of this act" 1t needs no argu-
ment 10 provo the necessity for a larger enlisted
force I'm the navy TO maintain the efficiency or
the national defences for the experience has
been that the force insufficient when
new vessel was ready for commission that
either the crews of other vessels had TO be de-
pleted or one or more of the older vessels had
10 be laid up. This was not only because the
complement allowed by law was too low to
commission the ships, hut also because the legal
authorized strength fell below the ratio for
some reason. For instance. the official records
show that there has been an annua! average or
1856 desertions and with enlisted force Of
approximately $4,000 men the loss thus present
ed became matter of serious concern In ad-
dition TO this there is q natural waste Of 5000
a year because of death, physical disability, IN
aptitude bad conduct and dishonorable dis
charge. Another loss is by the expiration OF
terms OF enlistment, which, under the four
year basis, from January /. 1903, to July 1,
1904. will be . ,5SS- The question as to who
would take the places Of those honorably dis
charged has been discussed In naval circles
with much seriousness, for IL Is the experience
that while In time Of war all, or nearly all, of
these men would re-enliSt, not more than 25
per cent Of them will re-en.st In time of peace.

TIE AMERICAN RAILWAY SYSTEM.

The report Of Colonel II. A. Yorke. chief In
specting officer Of railways to the British BOARD
of Trade, on American roads and methods Is
in the main, an impartial and intelligent docn-
ment If in every respect other competent
judges do not fully agree with him 1t must be
confessed that he has recognized most OF the
merits to which ardent partisans OF this coun-
try lay claim. Upon few points Will there De
serious disagreement with his conclusions.
There may be some hesitation, for instance, IN
accepting the opinion that the best OF American
roadbeds not so we'll constructed as the
best of those in the United Kingdom but if the
average on each side of the Atlantic be taken
as the basis of comparison perhaps the United
States will appear at a slight disadvantage after
all. 1t will be observed that Colonel Yorke pro-
nounces American locomotives unsuited to Eng
Ifsh roads, not, apparently, because they consume
too much fuel or are not well built, but because
they are too heavy for English bridges. With
that opinion, certainly, no one can find any
fault although it raises the question why stouter
structures are not adopted, as they have been
extensively In America Of late years. What
Colonel Yorke says about the excellence
of the American freight car whee! and the su-
perior personnel Of the operative force OF Amer
lean railways will certainly not provoke con-
troversy here.
In estimating the correctness of his Judgment
Of American signalling systems, one should dis
tinguish between mechanism and methods
Possibly there is yet too greGt variety OF both
in this country, which has an enormously
greater extent and fully ten times as much
track. 1t Is undeniable, too, that the disci-
pline Is not so strict In the United States as
In England. Engineers are punished less Sc
verely here than there for running past sig
| nals There be no question that, in pro-
portion to the number Of miles operated there
Is less mortality from accident in England than
In this country. Just what Is the best remedy
is not clear but the fact cannot be denied. IT,
however, Colonel Yorke means to indicate that
the apparatus employed for signalling In Amer
lea is inferior he will dnd few experts in agree
ment with him. In fact America prides her
self on the excellence Of this and believes that
it ought to be employed more extensively In
Europe. Like the automatic coupler, the air.
brake, dining car and several ether yankee
notions" 1t seems destined to enjoy increased
popularity abroad.
I Colonel Yorke's commendation of urban
transportation systems in the large cities Of this
country is as gratifying as it is true. London
owes much to American initiative, capital and
ingenuity for the splendid development Of mod
eru traction methods In that city. One Of these
