Our Navy Is Still
Very Much Too Small
BY Rear Admiral RoBLEY D. EVANS. u. s. N.

FEW years ago there wasn't much Of an American navy to
talk about. In the last few months, though, l have had the
honor to command a squadron which would be a credit to
any maritime power, a squadron which testifes to an awak-
ening interest in our navy AND THE NECESSITY FOR ITS
INCREASE.
Men who are taxpayers and men who do the legislating think their
task is over when they give us the ships. We must have the officers
to command them and the sailors to man them. This feet of mine
hasn't half the officers who would be absolutely necessary in case Of
war AND WE ARE SHY OF MEN TOO.
remember when the fleet was lying off Cienfuegos. We expected
to fight, and the navy department expected us to fight. The depart
ment must have thought a whole lot of us were going to be killed, for
it sent down a shipload of recruits to take the places of the dead men.
+ got thirty of them on my ship. They were all assigned to duty and
told where to report.
I was s~cramblng up to the bridge as fast as 1 could, for an attack by
torpedo boats is a rather tcklish proposition, when I felt some one
pluck me by the sleeve. I turned around, and it was one of the re-
cruits. He hailed from Detroit, 1 remember.

SHOULD HAVE NO LENIENCY.

No leniency should have been
shown the election officials in New
brunswick for their negligence in
the election of 1904. All pleas of ig-
norance is bosh. They knew that
they were DISTINGUISHING over 500
American citizens who had as good
a right to vote as anyone and that
is enough to send them to prison,
No matter what the dispute may have
been, the people should have been
allowed to vote and the fighting
could have been done afterward. The
frequent delays in hearing the case
and the fact that the crime was COM
mitted over a year ago should have
nothing to do with it. 1t was a das-
tardly piece of work and the perpe-
traitors of it, who were insignificant
enough to let petty party politics in
terfere with American citizenship,
should have been made to suffer.
Never before has such a thing oc-
Cured in this state and such an ex-
ample should have been made
to insure it never happening again.
If it is overlooked this time, who can
tell what will be done next? The cit
izen's rights must be protected at all
costs and the man who hampers with
them must suffer.

against IIanceS
They have been spoken of as entangling alliances, and our people
are supposed not to like such entangements; but I own that in my
opinion the time for holding these opinions SEEMS TO HAVE
PASSED BY.
Other nations are grouping themselves together; other nations are
also arming themselves to the teeth, and in these days the shock of
war comes with much greater suddenness and rapidity than it did In
the days of our forefathers.
I venture to say that in these times no nation which intends to
take its part in the affairs of the civilized world can venture to stand
entirely alone. That is, l believe, a kind of old maidish policy which
has passed entirely out of date.

solitary and aloof policy let them consider for a moment our naval

OTHER COUNTRIES and the burden which our present taxation
already imposes upon our shoulders.
They should then ask themselves whether, if we are indeed strong
enough to stand absolutely and entirely by ourselves, they are pre-
pared to submit to the sacrifices which that policy would entail
