American Navy
| Not a Bluff
AS STATED IN RECENT SPEECH
At CINCINNATI.
SHOULD WAR EVER COME
Our Navy Would Give Good Account
of Itself, Says Admiral Dewey
Phases of the Navy Discussed.

Washington, Oct 7.--Defending. with
Characteristic vigor the American
navy, Admiral George Dewey asserted
today that not only is our navy not
bluff" but that he is confident that IL
would give a good account OF itself
should war ever come.
An Unfortunate Expression.
The admirals remarks were called
forth by statement attributed TO for
mer Representative Lands OF Indiana,
who in a recent speech at Cincinnati.
o.. in advocating ship subsidy. is re-
ported to have said that those Amer
leans who are informed consider our
navy a 'bluff.'" The expression was
characterized by Admiral Dewey az
IAN unfortunate one"
No War Clouds Gathering.
Declaring thar he saw no war clouds
gathering on the horizon, Admiral
Dewey discussed several phases OF the
navy He expressed himself as heart
lily in favor OF ship subsidy legislation,
and made a strong plea for the contin-
ued upbuilding OF the navy. He said
that long time ago he used to think
the German ships were being built for
US. But ] do not now" he added. %
Ship Subsidy Wanted.
Referring to the remark attributed
to Mr.. Lands, Admiral Dewey said
that, OF course what the former meant
was that the navy would be compare
lively useless in time OF war without
necessary auxiliaries drawn from the
merchant marine. The admiral con-
tlnued: 'IIe wants a subsidy for cur
ships OF commerce. and so do L.
The admiral expressed the belief
that subsidy legislation could be Sc
cured were II not for the use OF the
word subsidy which, he said. many
people did not like because they
thought IL meant to give something for
nothing.
Merchant Marine Needed.
"Fut the American navy Is not quite
so helpless as one might imagine from
Mr.. Lands remarks" said the adnni-
raj We have Is colliers and several
transports already in the service or
course this would not be enough in
time OF war. and I hope that We will
continue to add TO that number II
we were to have a war we could pur-
chase as many ships as we might need.
would OF course, be a great deal bet
ter il we had them already"
The admiral declared that the Unit
ed States needed a merchant marine,
not only for the Value Il rniEht possess
as furnishing auxiliaries 10 the navy
hut TO carry the American Gag In the
marts Of the world. >t"r
But" said the admiral there vii,
be no war. And so ,onE or. we 70
ahead steadily and moderately IN add
ing to our navy. replacing the older
ships with the most modern type, thus
keeping our. navy. abreast OF the world.
no one will ever be able 10 say like
Mr. Lands, that other nations 40 not
regard the American navy seriously"
