United States in a discussion of the
naval increase bill on the floor of the
Senate declared that in the past ten
years the American navy had outstrip-
ped every country in the world but Eng
land in the race for superiority. He
held UP the statistics of the different
navies Of the world and pointed out the
amount of worthless tonnage and arma-
ment which helped 20 swell their ap-

anyone to contravert the statement that
this country had lately passed France
in point o. naval efficiency and was
second only to Great Britain.
