Wants a Foot Loose Navy.

"For the protection of our coast we
need Notifications, not merely to pro-
tect the salient points Of our posses
sions, but SO that the navy can be foot
loose. A year ago, at the time it was
announced that the feet was to go
abroad, there were a certain number
Of newspapers especially in my own
city Of New York, that raised clam
orous protest against it. 1t took at
one time the form of a mistaken proph-
ecy to the effect that the fleet would
not be allowed to go around the world,
and one of the reasons alleged was
that to let it go around the world
would leave New York defenseless in
the event Of war.
"The theory evidently was that the
feet, or. a portion Of it, would be used
especially to protect New York and
other cities in the event Of war. If
| war comes at any time in the future,
that administration under which it
comes will indeed be guilty of folly il

to search out and destroy the enemy's

can justify the fleets existence, and
that function cannot exist in the case
of such a ridiculous feet as the fleet
would be if it were only possible to
use it for coast defense purposes.
"In any question of national policy,
when statesmen, when the people be-
hind the political leaders, embark on

New Way Of Wearing Jewels.

New Way Of Wearing Jewels.
Many women give up their inventive
powers to the devising Of new ways
to make the money fly. The latest
method Of wearing jewels means fresh
purchases Of opals, moonstones, anne
thysts or even diamonds, says the New
York Press. They serve the novel pur-
pose Of holding long gloves in place
against the shoulder. To be just right
a set should consist of four small jew
els and one large one. The smaller
ones are to attach the gloves to the
shoulder and to fasten the bodice in
front and back. The great one is for
the belt Such a set was worn by Miss
Isabel May at dance. The gift Was
from her aunt Lady Lillian Bagot.
The gems were opals in Miss Mays
case.

Big Navy Best For Peace.

eff we have a coast defense navy
only, we had better at once turn over
the Panama canal to some stronger
and braver nation, which would not
limit itself merely to a coast defense
navy and could protect it. If we
should limit ourselves merely to a
navy that would confne us to defensive
war-war certain in the end to be un-
successful-it would be well at once to
give up Hawaii, to give up Porto Rico,
to give up Alaska and to say that we
had no more interest in Cuba than the
smallest outside powers.
'sIf we intend to claim to be a great
nation, then we must fit ourselves SO
that we may be ready at need to make
good that claim. That can only be
done by building up and maintaining
at the highest point Of efficiency the
United States navy.
"There is curious corollary to what
l am just saying. If we really make
good the claim, the chances are in
finitesimal that it will ever be ,neces-
sary to do so. The real chance for
war for this nation comes only it we
combine a policy which disregards the
interests or feelings Of others with q
policy Of helplessness to hold our own
] if our right to do as we wish is chai-
y lenged. If, on the other hand, we are
ready in very fact to hold our own, the
chance becomes infinitesimaI that we
will be called upon to do SO.

sion, If we aband the Monroe doc
trine, if we handed over to some Other
/ power the Panama canal, 1t would still

We cannot help playing great

easily help playing that part well, and
to be great people and make great
failure is as unattractive picture as
history affords. It is not open to us to
decide whether or not the career that
we lead shall be important. It has
got to be important. All we can de-
eide is as to whether our success shall
be great or our failure great. We are
sure to make either great failure or
a great success.

Inviting Certain Disaster.

cit is a defensible policy. But a
wholly indefensible policy would be
consistently to work for the assump-
ton of responsibilities without making
any provision for meeting the de
mands necessarily entailed by those
responsibilities. To be rich, aggres-
sive and unarmed is to invite certain
disaster and humiliation.
1--WE have taken the Philippines, but
If we had not taken them not a parh-
Gle of difference would be made as re-
CARDS the needs Of our naval policies.
There has been division among this
people as to taking the Philippines.
There has been no division on the
Monroe doctrine; no division on build
ing, maintaining, policing and defend
Ing the Panama canal; no division about
Hawaii and Porto Rico; no division
about keeping Alaska, which, though
on the continent, Is just as much sep
arated as If it was an island; no di-
vision about asserting our superior
right to defend and protect Cuba. Not
one Of the courses of action thus out
lined can be followed out excepting
with a first class navy.
'The Monroe doctrine was in danger
of falling not merely into disuse, but
into contempt, until we began to build
up our navy. The Monroe doctrine
won't be observed by foreign nations
with sufficient strength to disregard It,
when once it becomes their interest to
disregard 1t, unless we have a navy
/ sufficient to make our assertion of the
doctrine good. The Monroe doctrine
unbacked by navy Is an empty boast,
and there exist but few more con-
i temptible characters, individual or ma
, tional, than the man or nation who
boasts and when the boast is chal-
lenged fails to make good.

Dancer In "Hittinq Soft"

'sNo fight was ever won yet except
by hitting, and the one unforgivable
offense in any man is to hit soft. That
applies to the nation, and those who
advocate coast defense navy are
advocating that we shall adopt as a
national principle the principle Of hit
ting soft.
III hope with all my heart that never
will this nation of ours hit unless it
cannot possibly be helped. believe
that the nation should scrupulously
refrain from wronging or insulting
another nation; that it should put UP
with a good deal in the way of mis-
conduct on the part of others before
going to war. But when this nation
does have to go to war such war will
only be exsusabIe if the nation in
tends to hammer its opponent until
that opponent quits fighting.

the enemy and "hammering

welt was the central figure at the Naval
War college in Newport the other day
in the most notable conference Of
American naval officers ever called to-
gether to consult and discuss in a
broad, general way the features Of fu-
ture battleships. The president spoke
publicly for more than half an hour,
and the conference went into executive
session for an hour.
During this session the president
took leading part in the discussion.
He argued as layman, he explained.
and did not attempt to give advice to
professional men. He impressed upon
the officers, however, that it was given
to them to keep the American navy
abreast of the times and to make 1t
the hard hitting, efficient fighting
force which he believes to be guar
antee against the possibility Of war.
Mr.. Roosevelt characterized the navy
as the cheapest form Of safety fnsur-
ance policy the nation could secure.
The president in his address said:
admiral, Mr.. Secretary, Gentle
men-There are only a few things
that I desire to say today to the con-
ference, and what have to say really
is said less to the officers present than
to the great bulk of my fellow coun-
trymen outside could not speak to
you technically. can speak to my
fellow countrymen, who are deeply In
terested in the American navy, but
who sometimes tend to be misled as
to the kind of navy we should have
and as to what the navy can and
ought to do.
''For instance, there are always GER
tain numbers Of well meaning, amia-
BILE individuals, coupled with others
! not quite 80 well meaning, who advo-
cate merely coast defense navy.
Such advocacy illustrates habit Of
mind as old as human nature Itself

something and not to do it.

"It is absolutely necessary that it
we claim for ourselves the right to
choose who shall come here we shall
be in trim to uphold that right if any
power challenges it, and it cannot be
upheld by words, it cannot be upheld
by a coast defense navy. 1t can be
upheld only by the possession Of an
efficient fighting navy, navy able to
preserve the honor and the interest Of
the United States, not by inviting at
tack on our shores and then seeing it
we cannot repel 1t, but by taking such
action as shall guarantee us against
our shores being attacked.
cat the present day the Monroe doc
trine Is unchallenged, and the people
abroad who used to sneer at it now
say it is a pretty good doctrine after
all, useful doctrine, on the whole, for
the peace Of the world. What has
produced that change? Words? Not
a bit Of 1t. Diplomacy? Only in SO
far as diplomacy rested on the sub
stantial basis Of potential force. The
voyage Of the sixteen battleships

strait Of Magellan, from Hampton
Roads to Puget sound-that was the

ever been afforded as to the reality OF
