THE AMERICAN NAVY

Loyal Americans felt thrill OF
pride course through their veins
when the news of the Wyoming's
launching was flashed over the land.
The newest addition to the navy Of
the United States is a vessel which
takes front rank as naval war ma
chine. 1t marks the latest step in
naval architecture and efficiency.
During July mighty fleet will he
assembled in Cap Cod Bay. Twer,-
ty-one battle ships, monsters of the
deep will be there for the maneuy-
crs. 1t is estimated tina, MOI less
than fifty warships, topedo boats and
submarines will he ordered to take
part. Never IN history has there
been e better opportunity for OBJ

another tomorrow, experts in naval
bodybuilding will be employed by
] England, Germany France and the
remaining nations to float vesaels
that will eclipse our Wyomings. In
turn the United States can be de-
pended upon to go the Others one
better and thus the game of see-saw
goes on indefinitely, first one power
and then another being credited
I with the finest navy. It is indeed
true as the Chicago Tribune says,
Americans now have a navy they

have q still more powerful one in

Wausau has been called by it's
loyal citizens, 'Wausau Beautiful, .
so persistently and so continuously
that | am afraid there has settled
over it's population a sort of self
satisfied condition that is really dan
gerous to the future development of
Wausau's real possibilities as a beau

opportunities of making Wausau a
more beautiful city than 1t is, is be-
yond dispute. Indeed our mistakes

our narrow streets are painfully ap-

now ready to anticipate Wausau as
a city.
We are really in danger Of losing
out title 'Wausau Beautiful" to our
sister city Grand Rapids, for we I'M

Improvement League appointed a
committee to visit Grand Rapids to
find out what they were doing and
how they were doing it. We were
well repaid for our visit, for we
found Grand Rapids doing things in
a systematic fashion that really as
