first English dreadnought was pnt IN commission
American-drawn plans for two such vessels, tentar
lively called the Feasible and the Possible, re-
posed in dusty pigeonholes in the navy depart
ment at Washington. They were resurrected
later in the light of developments abroad.
Thirty-fve sea-going .battleships and dread
Notwithstanding with the Indiana, Massachu-
sets and Oregon group, laid down in 1891, and in
York and Texas, yet unborn-may be said to con-
stitute the main line OF Uncle Sans sea fight
ers.
The other battleship groups and types, in
chronological succession are 2, Iowa; 3, Kear-
sarge and Kentucky; 4, Alabama, Illinois, Wis
ccnsin. Maine, Missouri and Ohio; S, Virginia,
Rhode Island. New Jersey, Georgia. Nebraska,
Kansas, Connecticut, Louisiana, Vermont, New
Hampshire. Minnesota, Mississippi and Idaho
After these. beginning in 1906 with the near
dreadnoughts South Carolina and Michigan. come
the present dreadnought series: North Dakota
Delaware. Florida, Utah, Wyoming, Arkansas,
Texas and New York.
In the meantime, as demonstrated in the mind

marines have practically proved the battleships
Vulnerable, therefore outclassed and obsolescent-
These maneuvers may be said to have borne out
the prediction of a plank in the Proposed Plat
form for the American Party, published in 1907:
I'VE desire that the American navy shall be
the most powerful and efficient in the world; but
we consider that new inventions have displaced
or are about to displace the battlesh1p, cruiser,
torpedo-boat and monitor, and therefore hesitate

fighting craft"
Conservative statesmen in the United States
senate have denounced the vast appropriations
for armored ships-sums estimated in the aggre-
gate at more than 10,OOO,O Oo-as a bad invest
ment. They have stigmatized the United States
navy as "a lot of old tubs, more dangerous to
those on the inside than to those without"
Even in England the day of the dreadnought is
beginning to decline, while the submarine-to say
nothing of the war aeropIane-is yet in infancy.
AT this rate, ere long, our congress may hear
the cry of the armed-peace advocates changing
to Millions for development of the diving-boat;
not one cent more for dreadnoughts!"
The naval men themselves are not slow to read
the signs CT coming change.
1t may be only a question Of a very few years
when the general adoption of a 14-inch gun capa-
BILE of shooting with accuracy at a distance Of
fifteen miles will revolutionize naval warfare.
Such a gun is now IN process of try1ng-out, and
II 1T proves a success it will make all the coast
defenses of today practically useless.
There is no doubt" declares Rear Admiral
Francis 7. Bowles, u. S. N, retired, that a fleet
equipped with the new 14inch gun OF the latest
type could raze New York or any other seaport
In less than an hour. 1t seems to me that the
answer to this problem of coast defense is made

sey-are out of the front line now. Some OF them
participated in the recent theoretical coast ma
neuyers against New York and Boston, but they
were technically sunk" by the submarines and
torpedo boats.
For an example of rapid tobogganing Tito
desuetude, look at the three stately protected
cruisers st. Louis, Charleston and Milwaukee,
which cost about $500, 900 apiece when they
were built in 1902. Even then. certain Dick Dead
eyes of the navy declared that this type was OBJ
sOlete before the cruiser triplels went into COM
mission. b. that as it may, at the present day
these Sill, 900, 900 worth of cruiers are generally
regarded as three white elephants which the navy
is bothered to know what to do with.
The monitors stand for a picturesque but ex-
pensive fad, dating from the infancy days OF IRON
clads in the Civil war of fifty years ago. when
Ericsson's small "cheesebox on a raft in Hamp-
ton Roads put the Confederate Merrimac out OF
business and saved the nation. If it were net for
past performances prestige there would not be
ten million dollars worth of monitors rusting in
the rivers today. Four of these curios, which
have been within a decade reomdeled into single
turret coast defenders, are the Cheyenne, once
the Wyoming, the Ozark. formerly the Arkansas,
and the Tallahassee and the Tonopah, which useds
to be respectively the Florida and the Nevada.
When a special class craft is tried out. such,
for example, as the Vesuvius dynamite gunboat OF
nearly twenty years ago, she soon either goes to
the lumber attic herself or else puts some other
type in the obsolete class. In either case. Uncle
Sans scrap-heap grows larger and more miscei-
laneous.
Such is the universal law of naval evolution.
England. France and Germany are In this same
naval junk business on a vast scale. and Italy
and Austria in a smaller way.
The excuse IS the general one of modern mill
sm- competitive war preparation is the
price of peace. From the financial viewpoint of
the taxpayer the high cost of peace is about the
same as that of active hostilitles.
At any rate. the most recent practical lessons
of var are applied with marvellous results of
progress to the worlds navies, and in no country
is this more strikingly exemplifed than in the
United States.

authority. has shown in illustration of the de-
velopment of gunnery since the Spanish war

at Manila Bay. and the Raleigh, also of the Ma
Mia squadron, was under command of Capt. JO-
seph B. Coghlan of "Hoch der Kaiser fame. The
Olympia is at the Naval Academy, the Brooklyn
at the Philadelphia yard and the Raleigh at
Mare Island.
The armored cruiser Brooklyn, built at Phil
adelphia in 1855, is the largest of the vessels
named. She is of 9,215 tons displacement, and
was completed at a cost of So, 067, 915. The next
largest of the four vessels is the Saratoga Eek
New York;, an armored cruiser OF $500 tons dis
placement, built at Philadelphia in 1891 and cost
Ing almost as much as the Brooklyn. The Olym-
pia is a second-class cruiser, built at San Fran

cruiser. built at Norfolk at about the same time.
Both are of the protected type.
Some of the big armorclads are but recently

state name might be given to one of the new

Therefore the metal is equivalent to

the invisibility is obtained. So that
there viii be no recurring shade

the airship will always take the color

1t was doubtless owing to Uncle Sans reputa-
ton for unsentimentality in regard to superannu-
ated war vessels that general credence was given
to a recent rumor that Turkey proposed to pur-
chase from the United States the four armored
cruisers Olympic. Saratoga. Brooklyn and Raleigh.
This rumor was promptly denied from Washing

Otherwise the idea was not so very far removed
from possibility.
