be divided between the Atlantic and
the Pacific, "but our naval armament
should be so provided for that event.
ually we shall have force of battle
ships in each ocean equivalent to. that
which we now have in the Atlantic. :"
Civilization, said Mr.. Meyer, had
harnessed the fighting spirit Unborn in
men and had turned it toward the de-
velopment of science, making it the
greater factor in the extraordinary
human progress and development of
wealth in the past twenty years; but,
he declared, "it is still the same fight
ing spirit, and the fact that it has
been diverted into other channels
should not be permitted to Danish
patriotic sentiments or to welcome
the thought of peace at any price. .
1t was, he said, essential that the
United States should be in position
to demand justice for itself.
On the subject of universal peace,
Mr.. Meyer said that In order to bring
it about there first must be good
understanding among nations and
THAT to bring that understanding re-
quired International acquaintanceshiI
and confidence You, as business
men, fully appreciate the necessity o.
confidence in business relationship!
and you also know that for contin
uous business relationships the con
fidence must be mutually satisfac
tory. So with nations; and in time
as science develops the modes o
transportation and brings the differ
ent nations into closer touch ther,
will come a better appreciation, and
finally, that common understanding
necessary for mutually satisfactor,
international relationships and last
ing peace" It was certain. he de
clared. that large navy, with IL
ships touching at various ports of tn
world. as did the battleship feet
would add enormously in the direc
tion OF that better understanding.

TRIES TO KILL
THOS. B. RICKEY

CARSON CITY, April IA story
has recently gained circulation in
this city that an attempt was made
to kill 7. B. Hickey, the famous ex-
bank president at the Virginia and
Truckee depot about two months
ago. 1t appears that man was sit
ting in one of the hotel busses that
was drawn up at the depot and as
Hickey came along the walk toward
the depot, pulled his revolver to
shoot the banker Just as he was
about to pull the trigger, a boy over
took Hickey with message and
walked along by his side and the
would-be avenger was afraid to fire
the shot for fear of hitting the young
fellow.
1t is said that Honest" Tom is in
daily fear of being assassinated by
depositors of his defunct banks,
many of whom are now penniless. II
is also said that Hickey confided to a
friend that it would be his funeral
to make trip into southern Nevada
where hundreds of depositors had
lost their earnings.

BOSTON, April ia great navy
is the best insurance against the hor-
rors and expenses of war that the
United States can purchase. 1t will
stand for peace, while at the same
time it will be mighty bulwark
against any encroachment upon the
dignity of this government. England
once called her navy wooden walls. ;
Let the United States have ramparts
of steel
Such was the sentiment expressed
tonight by Secretary Meyer. He de-
clared that the cause of peace would
have been advanced eleven years ago
if the United States had possessed
eight additional battleships of the
Oregon or Iowa class. Such ships at
cost of $5O,0O0,000 he implied
might have averted the war with
Spain, which cost more than half
billion dollars.
To-day is the era of peace" said
Mr.. Meyer. Peace societies, inter
national tribunals, and the numerous
conferences that have been held dur.
ing the past few years all emphasize
this fact, and l am one of those who
fully appreciate the value of these
Organizations and assemblies" Yet
he declared, 1t was important that tht
people of the United States should MOI
forget that while such peace societies
were a power, their chief value wa!
as a formative influence, to stimulate
sentiment and crystalline public opin
ion against the horrors Of war. "Th'
really effective and honorable methot
of avoiding war" he contended, "i

session OF an efficient. up-to-date an,

cihc oceans" He spoke OF the ef
hciency of the globe-circling Atlanti
fleet and argued that Il should no
