we were able to shoot we'll, and have been
shooting better since. Not only the men of
the north, but the of the south, shot we'll dur
ing the Civil war; they shot we'll during the Span
ish war; and we can shoot half dozen times
well today we could during the Spanish war.
Never has the American navy made such rec
ord as it is making today, and never has there been
a navy having record eXcelling the which
navy is making for capacity to hit the
target That is really the whole problem
to hit what you shooting at
We have not in the past built homogeneous
fleets We build surplus Of battleships and then
provide the men to man them, and frequently pro-
vide more than have ships for. We build auxil-
iaries and torpedo boats, il do it at ALL without
any regard to the relation which such craft should
bear to the battleship fleet and while have
built have in construction 20 batleships have
practically means Of furnishing tenders for them

When the battleship feet sent to the Pa

ships to carry coal for it. II it had been found
necessary to send the fleet around the horn in time

could not have furnished American vessels I'M

Very few people realize the deplorable conditions
we are in, as far merchant marine is con-
cerned If had large merchant marine we
could draw from it without having special auxil-

that it makes our present situation almost hope
less.
When the Spanish broke out it was neces-
sary to purchase golfers and Transports One hun
dred and two vessels were bought at cost of some
thing over $17,O00,000, but they cost very large
percentage more than their market value, and more
than twice as much they could have been sold
for If they had been put the market at the ter
mination of the war. In other words we paid out
millions of dollars because we had not provided
ourselves with suitable auxiliares for our battle
ship fleet We should have navy adequate for
our needs; not only adequate in battleships, but
adequate in every other respect

Surgery on Heart

Surgical operations upon the heart have become
more or less Of commonplace in medical history.
Something approximating 100 cases of the sewing
up OF heart wounds are record and the recov-
cries have been considerable when one considers
the highly dangerous character Of such work Hith.
erto however heart surgery has been limited to &C.
cident cases.
In a recent issue of the annals of surgery one of
the workers at the Rockefeller institute for
medical research discusses the possibility of
treating diseased hearts surgically. He has made
numerous experiments animals and believes
that such operations will be successfully performed
on human beings in the future. His tests
have convinced him that the heart can be opened
scraped out Cleaned so to speak, sewed up and
started off on its beating" path again without any
great, at least insuperable, difficulty. BY an in
genious system of side piping and new channeling
he is able temporarily to cut out of the circulation
portions of such important vessels as the descend
ing aorta the largest artery in the body without
killing the animal Among his suggested opera.
tons is one on the coronary arteries of the heart
for the cure OF angina pectoris
This doctor has apparently proved to his own sat
isfacton on animals that successful surgical inter.
Terence with the great vessels and the heart itself
is possibility. 1t is, Of course long step from
these experiments to actual operations on human
beings but there is indication that the latter
feat Will be attempted In the near future The in
tractab1ity OF cardiac affections and their high IA
tally make the proposed surgery a thing OF
great general interest and may justify the extreme
holiness Of the proposal

and white lights, and there Is the electrlc torch
for unofficial messages.
The American navy has been the most sue
cessfu military organization, from Its very lncep
ton which the world has ever seen. That Is
pretty broad statement, but it is absolutely true
There are good reasons for this.
In the early days we were commercial people,
We were natural sailormen. Our people h'eu
along the shores. They made their money III
commercial pursuits The men who commanded
merchant shns were not only good sailors; they
were good merchants, and the foundations Tor
many of the great fortunes OF this country nave
come from that source. In order to protect them-
selves they were obliged to go armed Inelr
ships were armed as were prtVateers In time OF
war The result is that they not only knew naVl
cation. but they knew gunnery, and combined
with these qualities the intelligence which makes
great merchants.
Naturally when those men came into positions
where they commanded men-of-war, they were
eoual to the occasion although they had mad no
naval training AS time went on they acquired
naval training so that in the later wars, in the
aar1v mart of the nineteenth century, they met
every requirement, and in the recent wars the
graduates of the Naval academy have been equal
to every duty which has been imposed upon
them They have made a record OF which every
American citizen should be proud.
The American saiorman has always been efh-
cient They were good men in the time or the
povo,,,tion. competent men in the time of the
war of 1872 They are better men today than they
were in those days. because today 95 per cent OF
them are American citizens, and not man IS
sbinned in the American navy who has not de-
clared his intention to become citizen. Twenty
Ave years ago not more than 80 per cent OF our
n,en-ofwar's men were American citizens
Tho American navy has been successful be-
cause our ships have always been as good ships
az any that were built in the world. Our merchant
men in the Revolutionary times, and down TO
the Civil war were the best merchant ships sail
ing the seas. They were, no doubt, the best
manned. and they made the fastest time. During
the period of wooden ships. when we built men
az war they were of the same general character.
Our men -of-war, gun for gun, were equal to. and
nrobably superior to those OF any other nation.
we have always been able 70 shoot better than
most people Go back to the early times, to the
revolutionary war We lost "a men-ofwar, carry

while the British lost 102 men-of-war. carrying

MAN WAS TOO ENTHUSIASTIC
Noted Horse Trader Would Not lie
About Horses Good Traits-Mere-
Iy Suppressed Truth.

Hank Dobbs was noted as an hon
est" horse trader. He would not lie
about horse. He would merely sup
press the truth. Incidentally, he al
ways beat the customer who dealt
with him. The way he could slur over
the defects and buzz about the vir-
tues of an animal amounted to genius.
Once Hank was trying to sell a
neighbor a horse that had an eye
which was nearly sightless. The neigh
Dor knew Hank would not lie outright
to him, SO he questioned the horse
trader as to the various points of the
brute.
How about his eyesight? Can he
see out of both eyes?"
Sure" said Hank, he's got good
eyes," Here he leaned forward, his
eyes fairly scintillating with sup
pressed honesty. "One eye is particu-
larly good"
Hanks enthusiasm for the truth had
carried him too far. The deal was off.

that is, it might have been necessary
later to have fought that war over

The same relative skill prevailed In
the War of 1912. Our ships of. the
same class were superior to the ships
of our opponents. This statement Is
confirmed when we study the exact
figures. For instance, in the Hornet

five men killed and 81 wounded, out OF
