Our Navy Should
Be Recognized.

Santa Barbara. Cal, Jan. T-Radial
re- reorganization Of the navy should be
undertaken at once in the opinion OF
Rear Admiral McCalla as expressed to-
day in an interview. The lack Of pre-
paration of this country for possible
war should demand early and serious
consideration. he said, and lie con-
tinued:
"Other nations have made mistakes
in building warships, and with a navy
department under q civilian secretary,
4 department with eight different bu-
reaus ard civilian secretaries. ruinous
mistakes are only what might De ex-
pected. Building and organizing 4 navy
requires experience. 1t would be no
more foolish to put q lawyer or g doc
tor in charge of a great railroad than
it is to put civilian at the mead Of
the navy.
Besides an adequate navy. for which
our people have begun to show an APP
probation, it is highly important TO
have at least the skeleton OF an army.
Now, we have not officers enough
to train or command n large force or
arms enough to equip it; and, III case
of disaster to the fleet, We should
be helpless in repelling an invasion.
This was made painfully apparent in
the Spanish war. but the lesson has
not been learned"
