Warships and Universities
By CHARLES j. B~oNAPARrE. Secretary of the Navy

BY CHARLES, j. BoNAPARTE. Secretary O the Navy I
~ TX men out of every 10000 population in the United States
WHN are bound to naval service in the event Of war, while in Eng
~ land the proportion is a little more than 40 to 10000, and
IN FRANCE Al to 10000. The cost Of the American navy
in the last fiscal year was $11O,SS9713 or about $1.33 for each in
habitant; that of England was $1,000, 500, or a trife more than 81
for each inhabitant, and France $70O00,OOO, or NEARLY $1.8O
PER INHABITANT.
An error I would note was recently expressed by a hostile newspa-
per when it referred to what it called "the vast treasure being ex-
pended upon a great navy" The good that this treasure might do if
devoted to the uses of peace is NCALCULABLE. Not infrequently
the same sentiment takes the form of talk to the effect that the cost
of a battleship would endow a university. A big nation without uni
versiies is not a great nation nowadays, and a big nation without bat
teships is STILL LESS of a great nation.

Not being able to speak English very well she could not make the station was. So he called George Johnson, a colored man, and asked him to go to MT Carter s near by and see if he could ma shelter for the woman, which MT Johnson did. Then MT Bronson, the agent, locked up the station and went away. When MT Johnson returned, he found two Italian men, Andrew Jandrew and Pasquala Savonia by name, had been talking with her and persuaded her to go to their home, which was in the park near the sta ton, telling her they had families there and she could stay over night and as MT Johnson was not able to find place for her, she went with them and he started down the road toward John Todd's. When he had from the woman and turning around started for the park to see what was the matter was and by running across lots and through the brook, was soon where they were and found the two men had knocked the woman down and had robbed her of her purse con- ta1n1ng about S5, and were trying to assault her. MT Johnson succeeded in freeing the woman and took her to J. D. Pages house, where he found shelter for her until her friends in Bethel, who had become anxious about her, telephoned to Arthur Todd and had him look her up. They sent though badly bruised and battered in the arms by the men, she was able to be taken to Bethel, where she was cared for by her friends, but was con- nty Sheriff Banks and Constable Hen ry Duncan were summoned and with a posse of men in West Redding went to the house in the park where the Italians were stopping, but were un- able at first to gain admittance. Fin ally the sheriff broke in the door and succeeded in gaining an entrance and with the help of the men with him was able to arrest the two men who had com mmitted the assault and by 2 o'clock in the morning had them se- curely lodged in jail. On Monday the two men were brought before Judge John M. Nickerson, who found them guilty on two of three counts and bound them over. Jandrew was put under $500 bonds and Savonia under 5000 bonds. Not being able to fur nish the bonds, they were taken to the Danbury jail to await trial at the May term of the Superior court.
