COLONEL BUSY ON SPEECH
To Invade Providence, Taft's
Stronghold, on Friday.
(By Telegraph to The Tribune. ]

oyster Bay, Aug. 12.-Between tennis,
rowing and horseback riding Colonel
Roosevelt Is preparing a speech that he
will deliver on Friday night in Providence,
capital OF the stronghold state of Presi-
dent Taft. The final drafts of the speech
and another that he will make at Point
of Pines near Boston on Saturday will
probably be finished Wednesday night.
Tomorrow Mr.. Roosevelt will drive dull
care away by going into Cold Spring Har-
Dor with Mrs. Roosevelt and the entire
family for an all-day picnic.
Rumors of various kinds have been cir
culating that Senator Dixon and George
w. Perkins. general manager of the New
York Roosevelt headquarters, were COM
ing out TO oyster Bay for an important
conference. Colonel Roosevelt said to-day
that he had had no callers and didn't ex-
pect any. He appeared to have no idea
OF the proximity of either Senator Dixon
or Mr.. Perkins.
Matters appear TO be at sort of stand
still In the Roosevelt camp just now. The
new party candidate has shown himself
unwilling to take up Issue directly with
GoNeTnor Niisoh oi 'hc iattei speech OF
acceptance, and he appears to be willing
TO leave President Taft and Charles ID.
Iiilles go unmolested
Colonel Roosevelt does not care TO be
drawn into controversies. This has been
evident since the Progressive convention
at Chicago. On one or two occasions
he has indicated his unwillingness TO dis
cuss timely topics. Some questions he
has declined to answer on the ground
that fhe did not desire TO comment on
trivialities,

MORE BAT LESH|PS
ASKED BY MEYER
Secretary of Navy in His
Report Suggests Exten-
sive Changes in Navy.
National News Association

WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The an
nual report of the Secretary of the
Navy. George Won l.. Meyer, just
made public here, suggested extensive
changes in the administration of the
Navy Department.; reported the effici-
ency of Uncle Sans battieships to be
higher than that maintained last year,
and recommended a provision for the
building of four battleships, two cruis-
ers, sixteen torpedo boat destroyers,
and number of auxiliary vessels at
the present session of Congress.
Secretary of the Navy Meyer stated
that the augmentation of the present
naval force was necessity to the per
petuation Of the peaceful relations of
the United States with the powers of
the world. He discounted the asser-
tons of enemies of a large navy that
the opening of the Panama Canal
would double the navy" characterize
ing such proposition as erroneous.
The completion of the canal, he said,
would simply enable the squadron on
one side of the North American con-
tinent to steam to the help of the
squadron on the other side in less
time than heretofore.
He stated that, with an immense
coastline, and with the whole of South
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1912-12-06

and Central America to separate the
east from the west coast, this country
needs fleet double the size of a coun-
try whose coast-line is continuous.
The secretary's report stated that a
total of forty-one battleships, with a
proportional number of other fighting
and auxiliary vessels, was necessary
in it's relations with other world pow
ers.
Wars a Certainty.
In commenting upon this subject
Secretary Meyer said:
I'm times of peace it is pointed out
that there will be no more wars, but
history shows that wars come at times
with little or no warning There is
then, no time left to build battleships
and it is impossible to buy them. Con
gress should provide the uxiliaries,
destroyers, etc, that go with the bat
tleship fleet. But when war comes the
auxiliaries will not go out and sink
the battleship fleets. Only battleships
can do this work.
Now a days only so-called dread
naughts and battle cruisers are con
sidered in estimating naval strength
These are called capital ships, and in
a few years, if the powers do not in.
crease their present programs and
if Congress authorizes only two CAPT
tai ships every year, the United States
will have dropped from second to
fourth on the list.
"A total of Al battleships. together
with other auxiliary fighting vessels
Is the least that will place this coun-
try on safe basis in its relations with
other world powers. This number
should be reached as soon as practica.
BILE and then the fleet should be kept
up to it's standard strength by replac.
ing obsolete vessels with new ones
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1912-12-06

by uniform yearly replacement pro-
gram.
No person of intelligence who has
studied international politics can be
blind to the fact that the possession
of great wealth, resources. and popu-
lation does not carry with it immu-
nifty from attack should a nations in
terest clash with those of another bet
ter prepared"
Needs Advisers.
The Secretary reported that he was
thoroughly convinced after a trial ex-
tending over three years that efficient
administration of the navy can not be
accomplished by a secretary without
some sort of a board of council made
up of expert advisers. He renewed his
recommendation of last year that the
council of four aides he had establish
ed to help him in his work be legalized
by Congress.
In making this recommendation he
said:
THE usefulness of these aides in Sc
curing economical results and good
administration in the Navy Depart
ment is beyond question. The present
organization of the Navy Department
can be best judged by the satisfactory
conditions existing today, for the bus
mess of the navy is not being conduct
ed with a minimum expenditure while
maintaining the highest efficiency OF
the fleet"
The report advocated the establish.
ment of a council of national defense
to act as an Intermediary organiza-
ton looking toward the coordination
of Congress, the army and the navy.
In regard to this council, the Secre-
tary said:
What the navy is striving for is to
get the highest possible efficiency and
preparedness for war To have effici-
ency there must be a definite policy =;
The Richmond palladium and sun-telegram. [volume] (Richmond, Ind.) 1907-1939, 1912-12-06

must be cooperation between the ma
tional legislative body and the admin
istrators of the army and navy. The
proposed council of national defen-
Sc should be made up of two cabinet
officers, four senators, four congress
men two army officers and two navy
officers. 1t would seem that this coun-
Gil would tend toward and result in a
better understanding and in a definite
policy"

occurred. The game this fall seems I'M
usually scarce and hunters have been
less numerous. and with the decreas-
ed number OF sportsmen the chances
for accidents have also been proper
tionately reduced.
