much the same as they do now, but
everything else was different Succeed

and then the space-annihilating electrical
wire, with Its later voice transmission,
and incandescent lightning, and lastly the
bicycle and the automobile. Next thing
no doubt, will be The flying machine.
This will be known as the electrical
age, The X-ray age, the coal oil age or
the radium age, or maybe the appendicitis
age. 1t Is almost impossible to keep
abreast these times, to keep up with the

We have heard very little since that time

Importance of navy to our country has
been concealed. The United States has a
very large coast line to defend. No ma
ton or group of nations in the world
could make any progress on land against
an army that could be raised in a very
short time in the United States. Our
protection, therefore, must necessarily,
in the future, be accorded to our navy.
Now that guns can throw shells from
twelve to fifteen miles, it is well to con-
slider that Notifications however formid-
able, could not protect our coast cities
against hostile navy. We must rely
upon our navy to keep any hostile navy
from approaching near enough to any Of
our coast cities to injure or destroy them
by long ranged guns.-Newton Republic
