we have eleven first and second class navy

All the same this pre-eminence In navy yards
b.a cost Uncle Sam a pretty penny since he
began to acquire such holdings more than a
century ago The sites for some of our navy
wards and naval stations (also coaling sta

yood hard cash for most OF them and in the

that was but drop in the bucket compared
to the expense of equippng and maintaining
