So far as Seamen are concern
ed the American navy is weak
and Congress must soon make
provision for the mum Der of new
vessels nearing completion.
The total at present is 2, III Of
fcers and 1921 men. To this
must be added, however, to af-
ford and adequate idea of the
fighting force of navy, the
Marine Corps whichis composed
of 222 officers and 7,4O7 men.
There is, of course, constant
pressure exerted by certain of
fcers whose forte is in the line
of naval construction, in favor Of
increasing the navy itself but.the
President and the leaders in
Congress are of the opinion that
navy which shall remain at
about the present strength SO
far as numb ers and tonnage are
concerned, but which shall be
steadily moderniz9d and always
trained to the highest possible
state of efficiency will afford as
effective means OF. defense as is
necessary to the safety of the
country.

Notes From Washington.

At moment when all eyes are
fixed upon a great naval struggle
in another hemisphere it will be
interesting to look to our own
naval strength. When Senator
Hale announced in the senate
that the time had come for con-
gress to curtail the building up
of the navy and to settle upon
the de finite policy which should
hereafter be pursued, he placed
the amount which would be
necessary to appropriate annual
ly "to make good the ravages of
time at from SO, 100000 to SIS, :
: 900, 90 a year. This would fur
nish about one new battieship a
year and, in those years when it
was deemed wiser TO construct
smaller vessels, several cruisers,
or scout cruisers. 1t would also
allow for the construction Of a
mum Der of GOLFERS or other small
vessel. At that time, naval
officers protested that the senat-
or had placed the amount too low,
that it should have lbeen not less
than $20.oOo,00O year and they
supposed that the president
would support them in their in
tention. Now, however, they
have learned that Mr.. Hale con-
suited the president before be
announced his proposed policy
to>the senate and that President
Roose welt is prepared to accept
for the remainder of his term a
naval program which will allow
for the construction of a single
battleship each year, although it
Is not Ger tain out unaG the HfeSl-
dent will urge that no year pass
without one new battleship being
authorized. 1t is believed, how
ever, that the lighter class of
vessels need not be built and
keptin mission continuously,
as they can be provided on short
notice. M oreover, it the Mer-
chant Marine Commission S re-
port IS acted upon by the next
congress there WILDE construct
ed for the merchant service a
number of passenger and freight
vessels which will be entitled to
subsidies and which must be
held atthe disposal of the govern
ment in time of war.

While the American navy may
look small when placed beside
that of Great Britain. it must be
remen bered that Great Britain
and its possessions spread all
over the world and that in tie
event Of war Great Britain would
have the utmost difficulty, even
with it's great navy, in protecting
all Gifts insular possessions. It
has always been the policy of
Great Britain to keep it's navy
equal in power to any two Of the
European powers, although tax
ing into consideration the num-
Der of obsolete vessels on the
British list it is nov, doubtful il
her naval strength equals that
of France and Germany, com

the woman was addicted to strong drink
and that when on debauches neglected
her baby, which oftentimes went for
hours at time without attention.
When Mrs. St. CLAIR would recover
from tn. effects Of her debauches, she
for time would be really repentant,
promising the women of Troutdale that
she would meyer drink again. But she
failed to keep her promises, and the
