FACTS ABOUT THE NAVY.
One-Fourfh of United States Fleet
Practically Worthless.

One-Fourth of United States Fleet
Practically Worthless.
The statement is widely printed that
the United States is now the second
naval power of the world" This as
sertion may please patriotic pride.
The difficulty is hat it Is not strictly
true.
q Any real comparison OF naval
strength must primarily rest. not on
the total number of vessels built or
building. nor on the entire tonnage of
such craft. 1t depends on the ships
which are effective judged by exacting
modern standards Thus within the
next three years England will have
seventeen armorclads of the Dread
nought or "super-Dreadnought" type.
Germany will have thirteen. This
country will have ten.
The bulk Of the German navy Is
composed Of ships constructed at a
later date than our own. The kaiser's
feet has comparatively few vessels
that will need to be sent to the scrap
heap In the near future. Not fewer
than one-fourth-possibly o%ne-third-
of the large naval craft under the
American flag are regarded by compe-
tent observers as practically worthless
for fighting purposes to-day Most OF
them we're excellent when they were
built. But marine architecture ncves
with gigantic strides in the twentieth
century. 1t Is believed that n float
ing fortress like the lately launched
Florida could whip three or four OF
our older battleships.
1t is the very big and very powerful
ship that counts. This republic is
gradually creating a respectable array
of these It's proportionate yank Is
far higher than 1t vas even half a
dozen years ago. But there is small
use or sense in boastful proclamations
which do not accord with the facts.
