attention to the need
of additional destroyers and golfers,
and above all, Of the four battleships.
1t Is desirable to complete as soon as
possible a squadron of eight battle
ships of the best existing type. The
North Dakota, Delaware, Florida and
Utah will form the first division Of this
squadron. The four vessels proposed
will form the second division. 1t will
be an Improvement on the first, the
ships being of the heavy, single cali
Der, all big gun type. The president
most earnestly recommends that the
general board be by law turned into a
general staff. There is literally no ex-
cuse for continuing the present bureau
organization Of the navy. The navy
should be treated as a purely military
organization, and everything should be
subOrdinated to the one object Of Sc
curing military efficiency.
Nothing better for the navy from
every standpoint has ever occurred
than the cruise Of the battle fleet
around the world. The Improvement
Of the ships in every way has been ex-
traordinary, and they have gained far
more experience in battle tactics than
they would have gained If they stayed
in Atlantic waters. The American
people have cause for profound graft
tude, both in view Of the excellent
condition Of the fleet as shown by this
cruise, and in view Of the improve
ment the cruise has worked in this
already high condition.

the three months advertising requir-
cd t. precede the bestowal of eros
ses upon the defendants of veterans.
Rule l. Sec. 2. The oldest living
lineal defendant of veterans who have
not received cross may secure it,
provided that notices for three con-
sccntive months be published in the
city and county newspapers calling
upon veterans to send in certificates
for crosses. If, at the expiration of
three months no veterans have ap-
piled, the bestowal of crosses upon
defendants and widows may begin.
The chapter urges the veterans to
be prompt in sending in their certi-
ficates for two reasons. First of all,
because it is the purpose of the
chapter to honor every veteran with
a cross and, second, to give to such
defendants as described in the rule
above, the opportunity to secure their
crosses.
