our BIG NEW! NAVY
Senator Perkins, Of California, ADJ
dressed the Senate in Justif-
cation Of Its Cost.
WORlDSSECONDSE
The Formidable Array Of Ships That
VIII Assemble In the Pacific
An unbroken Record
Of Bravery.

| Washington, Feb. Ex-senator Per
kins OF California Friday spoke in thu
senate In justification Of expenditures
for the upbuilding of the American
navy and Of. the policy Of sending the
| fleet into the Pacific ocean. He re
views the achievement Of the navy
and declared that 1t was the most
popular branch Of the government ser
vice.
When the feet now on. It's way to
San Francisco is Joined by the other
effective vessels on the Pacific" he
said, I'VE shall have feet OF IS bat
tleships, eight armored cruisers, 10
protected cruisers, 10 destroyers, five
torpedo boats and two submarines
The battleships and cruisers alone ag-
gregate 423,172 tons, while the other
naval power on the Pacihc-Japan--
has only 374,701 tons In all classes
of vessels. The Pacific feet will be
amply able to protect our interests In
that ocean"
Attention was called to the Tin.
broken record OF bravery which the
navy presents from Its earliest begin
nings, and on the Pacific those who
man the vessels will have the ex-
amples of Commodore Sloat, Admiral
Kimberly and Admiral Dewey for in
spiration. The senator sketched the
growth OF the new navy from 1888 to
the present day when the United
States has become the second sea
power In the world, surprising France
by small margin In the strength of
our fighting force and far outstripping
Germany, Russia and Japan. And this
lead, he said, the United States is
easily able to maintain. BY authoriz-
ing only two more battleships of the
big gun type, this nation would still
lead France by 10000 tons in sea
lighting force.
Reference was made to the change |
In the character of battleships which |
resulted from the lessons Of the naval
engagements during the Russo-Japan-
ese war, which taught the Importance
Of big ships carrying big guns, so that
a greater weight Of metal can be
brought within a shorter battle line.
Hence, all the naval powers are build
ing ships carrying only 12-inch rifles
lor offensive purposes and a compare
lively few small rapid fire guns for
lefense against torpedo boat attack.
"The cost of the vessels OF the new
lavy built, building, or authorized is

ures on account of naval establish
nent since 1883 is $f,244.651 ,O29.p
