WASHINGTON. Dec. 17.-Five
years would be required to put the
United States navy in the highest
state Of efficiency to meet hostile
fleet, according to statement TODAY
by Rear Admiral Fiske before the
house naval committee. The admiral,
who Is chief of the bureau OF opera
tions, member OF the general board
and former president OF the naval
institute, said the navy was deficient
IN aircraft, mines, scout cruisers,
torpedo boat destroyers, submarines
and In number of trained officers and
men. and had no mine sweepers.
Members of the committee were
particularly interested in Admiral
F9ske's view as to the possibility OF
foreign aircraft dropping bombs ON
American citiesA He expressed the
opinion that an attacking fleet might
begin sending its airships on bomb
dropping flights over New York from
a range or 500. or 900 miles or the
coast. 1870
One foreign navy, which was not
named, the admiral said. was more ef-
flcient than the American fleet in
gunuery. This he declared, however
was SO only because the American
marksmen had mot been given ade.
quate opportunity for practice. In
apeaking OF the highest stata of eff
ciency." the officer. explained that he
had In mind The state Of q certain
unnamed power. whose officers and

coast was referred to several times

"In concurrence with the report OF

Permit me to state that in addition
the bombardment Of the coast places,
such as Ostend, Nieuport, Zeebrugge

not take place because these places
were fortified which in fact they are
not. but solely because they are de-

Senator Foke Smith wrote to cot

THE UNION MISSION.

Our work is continually growing
stronger all the time, We believe
we can speak of one OF the strongest
bands in our community in a spir-
itual way, and of course we are
prouder to speak of this little work
in that manner than in any other way.
God in His goodness has continued
to pour out His divine blessing upon
this work in very special way since
the very first day of its organlza'
ton.
But. as We could look on every
side, and see so many souls that
we felt would be glad of the privl-
lege to 90 where they could hear
the word of God preached, and such
they were who could not, or would
not. 90 to the churches, we believed
such souls indeed were hungry Tor
the bread of life, and knowing that
our Christ died that they might be
fed. we felt that awful would be our
