1--WE NEED SHIPS; WE HAVE
NOT GOT THEM"

The United States, this great
people for whom we speak and
act, should be ready as never
before to serve itself and to
eerve mankind; ready with it's
resources, it's energies, it's forces
of production and its means of
distribution. We are
not ready to mobilize our re-
sources at once. We arc not
prepared to use them imme-
diately and at their best, with
out delay and without waste.
To speak plainly, we have
grossly erred in tho way in
which We have stunted and him
dered tho development of our
merchant marine, and now, when
we need ships, we have not got
them.

A SENATOR'S QUESTION.
what the Battle of Lake Champaign

Last year Congress aided the cclobra-
ton Of tn" centenary of the battle of Lake

This year there Is to Ice the centennial

Macponough, hv his achievement thcr.
did more to save the American cause from
utter ruin than was accomplished by any
other act of the war.
MacDonourh's victory established COM
pletolY our superiority on the inland wa e.
ters superiority which Wellington de-
clarcd was requisite to succc ssful land op-
eratlons. "If We cannot" establish this
superiority, he wrote in reply TO re-
quest that ne take command. Il shall do
but little good in America: and / shall go
there only to prove the truth of Provost :
defense and to sign peace which might
as well be signed now"
MacDonough's victory saved us not
only from defeat but probably from ma
tional disruption for Massachusetts, was
on the brink of secession
In spite Of the Importance of MacDon-
oughs victory, when it was proposed in
the Senate the other day to appropria te
$l25 eo0 for suitable memorial Of this
critical event several senators objected
on the plea of economy though not sue
cessfully and one of them asked the fol-
lowing remarkable question; Are we
likely to lose the results of the victory
Of Lake Champlain by not erecting this
monument"
The fun force Of this incident viii only

thor of this question was the senator from
