LARGER NAVY NEEDED.
Appropriation For Four New Baiileships
Strongly Recommended.

II was hoped The Hague conference
might deal with the question of the
Limitation of ornaments, but even be-
fore 1t had assembled informal in
quiries had developed that ns regards
naval armamcutS, the only ones In
which this country had any interest, 1t
was hopeless to try 10 devise any plan
for which there was the slightest pos
slhilty Of securing the assent Of the
nations gathered ut The Hague. No
plan was even proposed which would
have had the assent Of more than one
first class power outside Of the United
States. The only plan that seemed ut
all feasible, that of limiting the size
of battlcships, met with no favor ut
all. 1t Is evident, therefore, that II Is
folly for this nation to base any hope
of securing peace on any international
agreement as to the limitation of arma-
mcnts, Such being the fact, 1t would
be most unwise for us to stop the up
building of our navy. TO build one
battcShip Of the best and most ad'
vanCcd type year would barely keep
our fleet up to its present force. This
is not enough. In my Judgment, we
should this year provide for four bat
tleships. But 1t Is idle to build battle
ships unless In addition to providing
the men and the means for thorough
training we provide the auNiiaries for
them, unless we provide docks, the
coaling stations, the GOLFERS and supply

NAVAL PERSONNEL.
Promotion Of Officers by Strict Seniority
Not Good Principle.

I bespeak the most liberal treatment
for the officers and enlisted men of
the navy. At Is true of them, as like
wise of the officers and enlisted men
of the army, that they form body
whose interests should he close to the
heart of every good American. In
return the most rigid performance of
duty should be eXacted from them.
The reward should be ample when
they do their best and nothing less
than their best should he tolerated. 1t
is idle to hope for the best results
when the men in the senior grades
come to those grades late in life and
serve too short time In them. Up to
the rank of lieutenant commander pro
motion In the navy should he as now,
by seniority. subject, however, to such
rigid tests as would eliminate the un.

grade of command rank-tho UNFIT
should be eliminated In such manner
that only the Conspicuously 1T would
remain, and sea service should be a
principal test of fitness. Those who
are passed by should after a certain
length of service in their respective
grades he retired. OF n given number
of men 1t may well be that almost all
would make good lieutenants and
most of them good lieutenant com
manders, while only minority will
be fit to be captains and but three or
four to be asimirals. Those who OBJ

mere seniority should reflect upon the
elementary fact that no business In
private life could be successfully man,
