THE AMERICAN NAVY
A Big One as Well as a Good One.
Third in the World in Fighting
Strength

The committee on naval affairs was
surprised when Secretary of the Navy
Morton told ii that, when all the new
ships are in commission, the navy will
cost $7I.000,000 annually for mainten-
ance- Yet if the committeeman had
! kept themselves informed as TO the
number of new ships and the cost of
keeping them afiOat they would have
| been prepared for such an estimate
+ The original expenditure on a vessel
( is but the beginning of a continuing
outlay. With nearly a thousand men
comprising its crew and its great appe-
! tite for coal and other supplies. a bat
tleship is an expensive darling.
1t is time to stop Speaking of the
/ American navy as good but small. 1t
is big as we'll as good. Rapid progress
has been made. Seven years ago. at
the time of the Spanish American war
we had but four first class battleships
the Oregon, the Indiana, the Iowa
and the observation-disclosures one sec
/ Ond class one-the Texas. Now We
have in commission or under cOnstruc-
ships, all of the first class except one
| In 1898 our armored cruisers were but
! twO-the Brooklyn and the New York:
now. in commission or under cOnstruc-
| ton. are twelve. The habit has been
to give battleships and armored cruis-
ers the name of states-to which there
are but two exceptions. Some other
naming system will need TO be devised.
! for only eight state are now unhonored.
Congress is expected to authorize will
reduce the list to six. While the ex-
! pansiOn has been principally In armor-
| ed vessels. the building of cruisers,
gunboats and torpedo boats has not
been neglected.
| In 1898 the United States naval pow
er. on paper was reckoned only equal
10 that of Spain. We were behind
Great Britain, France, Germany, Rus
STA and Italy. With the new ships I'M
der construction completed we will be
close to second. France has twenty
eight first class battleships, but a num-
Der of these are out of date. Germany
has twenty, and although she is stead
lily building. she will hardly catch up.
III fortune in the Far East has reduced
Russia below us. and Italy has drop
ped out of the naval competition. 1t is
not unlikely that the American navy
could meet on equal terms any navy in
the world except that of Great Britain,
no longer considered possible enc
my.
The cost of the new navy, including
maintenance and construction. is now
we'll over $1O0.0OO,O0O annually. Yet
there is no kind of appropriation voted
more popular with the people. There
fingers some of the old prejudice
against a large military establishment.
but millions are cheerfully given for
ships. The instinct Of the people is
wise. The wars of the future-at least
any one in which we may be engaged
will be decided on the sea rather than
on the land. Sea power has already
had great influence in history; it is
destined TO have more.-New York
