A BIGGER NAVY.

one domestic result OF European war
will be evident in renewed ana re-em-
phasized activity on the part of big
navy advocates in the United States.
IL is already announced that the
necessity Of creating n larger navy for
the adequate protection of the United
States from foreign attack will be
borne in upon congress at the next
regular session from many quarters.
As a result of the lessons of prepared
ness for war which are being taught
10 those willing 10 learn by the great
war in the eastern hemisphere, one of
the most notable discussions OF the
policies OF American defense is, there
fore, destined TO take place when con-
gress next approaches army and navy
appropriation bills.
Advocates Of a larger navy are pre-
pairing to urge appropriations for the
construction of twelve new dread
noughts. When it is remembered that
the last congressional debate centered
upon discussion as TO whether our nav
.al program should embrace the con-
struction If but two dreadnoughts per
year, it can be seen at a glance what n
tremendous revolution in policies is
bound To be proposed.
The Chicago Tribune is sponsor for
the declaration that there is good
reason 10 believe that the general
board Of the navy department will ad-
wise the secretary of the navy that
not less than six first-class battle
ships, sixteen destroyers and eight
submarines be added 10 the sea forces
Of the nation forthwith"
The American navy was formerly
second in strength 10 that Of Great
Britain only. Now it has refrigerated
TO third place-the Germany navy
forging TO second place. France is but
a lap behind the United States. II
the policy inaugurated by the pres
ent congressional control continues.
the United States will soon be in the
fourth rank Of sea powers.
The great National Navy League
which is planning a vast educational
campaign 10 demonstrate 10 the people
llldl the effectiveness VI american Dbl-
icies absolutely depends upon a strong
navy and which will undoubtedly
stand sponsor for a twelve battleship
program-will call attention to these
particular features in the situation as
emphasizing the necessity for this in
creased naval American power:
First: The Monroe Doctrine,
particularly in its relation to the
West Indies and lands north Of the
Amazon. Second: The attitude Of
the United States as 10 possession
or ownership Of strategic alien
harbors and coaling stations.
Third: The neutrality Of the Pan
anna Canal, including the neces-
sary safeguarding incident to the
passage through the canal OF bel
ligerents when other nations are at
war. Fourth: The restriction of
Asatic immigration. Fifth: The
integrity Of China and the open
door Of trade in China. Sixth:
Equal right for American citizens
travelling abroad, regardless Of
blood or religion. Seventh: The
long coast line of continental
United States. with particular CO.
rollary attention to the overseas
colonial possessions of the Unit
ed States.

The record OF Moran certainly con-
tains no item that would indicate he
was made of the championship stun
He began as a professional in 1910,
taking part in IS mills. He knocked
out four rivals, all unknown, and
outpointed others OF equal signifi-
canoe. incidentally. he met Johnson
in four-round exhibition in Pitts
burg and was a toy in the hands OF
the champion. ...
In the winter OF 1901 Moran
boxed two decision bouts with Dunn
my Maxon and AL Palzer in Brook
lyn. He beat Maxon, but Palzer drew
with him. In another Brooklyn bout
Jim Savage, fourth rater, outboxed
Moran. who then went to England
and France in 1912. On the other
side he put away a half dozen or
more of the big fellows. but his op-
ponents without exception were lit
tie better than amateurs. When Mo
ran returned here in the summer of
1912 he made poor showing in a
ten-round affair with Al Kukak. Tom
Kennedy, knocked out by Bombardier
Wells. held Moran to q 1O-round
draw in this city. while clumsy Tony
Ross got verdict over him In 10
rounds in Cleveland. 1t took Moran
10 rounds to stop Harry West. an

rounds. e9lTI Htr

Moran took part in five battle In
1913. In March he stopped AL Nc
,Cluskey in five rounds before local
club. He failed to beat Sailor White
in six rounds in Philadelphia, and
when he faced the late Luther Nc
Carly here in April he was decisive
ly beaten in 10 rounds. Subsequently
Moran knocked out Tim Logan In
four rounds at New Orleans and also
disposed of AL Palzer in seven at a
local club, when it was we'll known
that Palzer's physical condition
should have kept him out Of the ring.
The victory over Palzer formed the
basis for Moran's manager proclaim
ing the Pittsburger as the next
champion, but he was careful to
sidestep match with Gunboat
Smith, Sam Langorf and the other
heavies whose records were such as
to afford pretty good evidence that
they would have little difficulty in
disposing Of a fighter Of Moran's cal
ibre. ..... ... .l Re
In the coming match Johnson will
have the advantage in experience
and weight. Moran is fraction of
an inch taller than the champion and
has the advantage that comes Of
youth. 1t regards to ring generalship
and ability to land knockout blow
there is no comparison between the
Pittsburger and the champion, pro-
viding the latter is in anything like
good condition. II johnson, how

CHAPTER XIII.

There are two things, according to
the saying, which cannot be recalled
the sped arrow and the spoken word.
Whether spoken in anger or in jest,
our winged thoughts will not come
back to us and, where there is nc balm
for the wound we have caused, there
is nothing to do but let it heal.
Bud Hooker was a man of few
words, and slow to speak i'll of anyone,
but some unfamiliar devil had loosened
his tongue and he had told the worst
about Phil. Certainly if a man were
the bravest of the brave, certainly if
he loved his girl more than life itself
he would not be content to hide
above the line and pour out his soul
on note-paper. But to tell it to the
girl-that was an objectionable sin!
Still, now that the damage was done.
there was no use of vain repining, and
after cursing himself intellectually
Bud turned In for the night. Other
days were coming; there were favors
he might do; and perhaps, as the yes
terdays went by, Gracia would forgive
him for his plain speaking. Even to-
morrow, If the rebels came back for
more, he might square himself in ac-
ton and prove that he was not a cow
ard. A coward!
1t had been a long time since any
one had used hat word to him, but
after the way he had knitted dear
Phil" he had to admit he was it. But
dear Phil" 1t was that which had
set him off.
If she knew how many other girls
but Bud put a sudden quietus on that
particular line of thought. AS long as
the world stood and Gracia was in his
sight he swore never to speak Ill of
De Lancey again, and then he went to
sleep.
The men who guarded the casa
grande slept uneasily on the porch,
lying down like dogs on empty sugar
sacks that the women might not lack
bedding inside. Even at that they were
better off, for the house was close and
feverish, with the crying of babies
and the babbling of dreamers, and
mothers moving to and fro.
1t was a hectic night, but Bud slept
it out, and at dawn, after the custom
of his kind. he arose and stamped on
his boots. The moist GOODNESS Of the
morning brought the odor OF wet
g~reasewood and tropic blossoms to his
nostrils as he stepped out to speak
with the guards, and as he stood there
waiting for the full daylight the mas
ter mechanic Joined him.
He was a full-blooded. round-headed

Properly speaking. Del Rey was in
command of the town, but neither the

went by default. While they waited to

post. Let bullets come and go, Don
