that is necessary is to renew the old
battleships as they pass out of COM
mission. In consequence he is said to.
be absolutely against building any
more ships, at least for several years.
AS the views of an expert in any
line are generally regarded as super
ior to those of amateurs or casual OBJ
servers, it is only ..atural to view Adj
mlral Dewey's advice as more import
ant than Secretary Bonaparte's ideas.
Admiral Dewey has proved his worth
as a naval officer and fighter. He
has known the need of good vessels
and he has known the satisfaction Of
having ample means for winning a
BATTLE. More. he has won one of the
greatest sea fights of modern history,
and he is well qualified to give advice
along naval lines, better far, no doubt,
than is Secretary Bonaparte, able
enough asa business man, but tyro
in matters of defense and offense.

the morning he struck the mattress.
After keeping up, this gait for a
couple of weeks, there is little wonder
that the prince looked ga little worn"
when he retired to his ship on the last
night of his stay. Not only had be
been on the go all day and half the
night, but he had been lodging dyna-
mite bombs and chasing deserters be-
tween social functions. But he, was
game" Not once did this busy man
complain. American hospitality is
jealous and exacting. When we start
out to spread ourselves" in the enter
tanning line 1t is a strong constitution
that can stand up under it. Prince
Louis showed himself man Of strong
fibre when he went the pace for two
weeks and steamed out of New York
harbor still sitting UP and taking notice
of things. 1t would be interesting to
know some of the things he tells King
Edward when he meets his sovereign.
It is safe to say that the whole thing
will be a dizzy though not unpleasant
dream for the prince for long time
to come.
