All nations have about come to
the conclusion that the battleship
is to be the fighting instrument of
the future. This type of warship is
a combination of the monitor, the
gunboat and the unprotected crui-
ser. 1t is a combination of the
heaviest possible guns, heaviest
possible armor and the greatest pos
sible speed and steaming radius. In
eight years the modern battleship
has developed almost as rapidly
and radically as the automobile.
Some of the foreign nations, and
one of them is Japan. are said to

ENTIRE FIGHTING FLEET MUST
BE REBUILT WITHIN SIX
YEARS - MAMMOTH NEW
TYPE OF WARSHiP HAS THE
CALL.
BY ellison Gardner.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 81.
The United States must build an
entirely new navy within the next
six years. The present fighting
feet must be put out of commits
sion and a new one substituted,
composed of up TO date warships.
This. it is learned on excellent
authority. is the real opinion of
President Roosevelt and of Secre-
tary Chas. ]. Bonaparte.
The fighting feet consists today
of II vessels, nearly all of which
are out Of date, or rapidly becom-
ing so. Unfortunately 10 of these
II vessels are of the monitor type.
II is recognized by all experts that
the limitations of the monitor, with
its low freeboard, its limited steam
Ing radius, and its few guns, cause
ct to be quite outclassed by the
modern battleship. The other sew
en- vessels of the fighting feet are
four first class and one second
class battleships and two armored
cruisers.
Astonishing as 1t may seem these
b--ttleships are now universally con-
ceded to be small and slow.
No Security Felt.
From the cautiously worded rec
concentrations of the last presiden-
tial message It was assumed by
many people that the administra-
ton regarded the present naval
strength as sufficient. How far this
assumption is from the truth is seen
from the urgent recommendation
made to the house committee on ma
val affairs by Secretary Bonaparte
ir person. He confided his opinion
that the time has come for congress
to authorize the construction Of II
vessels of the largest and most per.
feet kind for the fighting feet, with
such vessels of a smaller and sup

build a modern battleship, and as
the new craft must be ready with.
in six years to replace the old, it Is
evident that what is not authorized
at this session of congress will
have to be by the next.
While no official admissions have
been made, there is a feeling that
under existing conditions. with the
few vessels that can be spared from
the Atlantic fleets, there is practic-
ally nothing left to make any real
resistance If trouble should come
with Japan or with any of the ma
tons maintaining considerable
fleets in oriental waters.
