Santa barbara, Cal, Jan. 17.--Radi-
cal reorganization of the navy should
be undertaken at once, in the opinion
of Rear Admiral McCalla, The pre-
paration, or rather, the lack of pre-
paration of this country for possible
war, is a matter he believes that de-
mands early and serious consideration
"Other nations have made mistakes
in building warships," said the admir-
al today and with a navy depart
ment under a civilian secretary, a de-
partment with eight different bureaus
and civilian secretaries, ruinous mis-
takes are only what is to be expected.
Building and organizing a navy
is a business in which experience is
essential 1t would be no more fool
fsh to put a lawyer or a doctor in
charge of a great railroad than it $
to put civilian at the head of the
navy.
Besides an adequate navy, for
which our people have begun to show
an appreciation, it is highly import
ant to have at least the skeleton Of
an army
Now we have not officers enough
to train or command a large for.c or
arms enough to equip them in case Of
a disaster to the fleet we would he
helpless in repelling an invasion This
was made painfully apparent in The
Spanish war, but the lesson has not
been learned.
More guns are needed at impoItan!
points along the coast and the forti-
fications should be extended and
strengthened But first of all, in ma
tional defense is the fleet, and almost
equally important, the skeleton Of an
army that may be called upon ati

BIG VESSEL ASHORE.
Heavy Seas Prevent Lfesavers Rem.
derins Assistance.

New York, May 1.-The great four
masted German ship Peter Rickmers,
which left New York Thursday for
Rangoon loaded with case oil, was
driven ashore on the south coast of
Long Island in a terrific gale. A tre-
mendous sea was pounding on the
beach and amid the binding rain
squalls which swept across the ocean
only the fiaring rockets sent up from
the deck of the stranded vessel in
appeal for assistance gave information
of the disaster. From the shore the
outline of the ships rigging could be
dimly discerned by the flare of the
rockets, but the vessel lay far beyond
the reach of the, Lyle gun used by
the lifesaving crews TO throw a line
to a wrecked vessel. Intellectual ef-
forts were made by the lifesavers to
launch their boat in a terrific sea and
when the attempt was abandoned the
lifesaving patrols burned Coston sig
mails through the night to assure the
seamen that help would come as soon
as possible.
The Rickmers was loaded with IT,.
900 cases of oil from the Standard Oil
company, worth $SO,e00 The vessel
is valued at 100000. She carries a
crew of thirty or thirty-five men.
