for naval and military preparedness
last night at the tenth annual dinner

Astor Although at present IL seemed
that We were especially favored in that
an ocean separated US from the Euro

definitely the lessons that are 10 be

Nevertheless" he continued. three
fundamental things, so self-evident and
elemental az 10 be automatic. already
stand out. For the first, preparedness:
ships, guns, Notifications, ammunition
and trained men cannot be provided in
day or week or month. Next. a
controlling navy: No one thing stands
out in the present struggle as does the
meaning Of the British navy without
that factor the status abroad to-day
would be vastly different.
FINALLY, self-containedness: The
possession within cur own borders Of
such resources Of material. means Of

where in tho Arctic. though a good
part of his expedition was rescued
from Wrangel Island
Admiral Pearv said that there was
good ground for hope that StefanssOn
had reached land. IN which case his
long previous experience in the Arctic
would enable him to exist for months
and carry on his work
III is too early to give Stefansson up
for lost" declared NPeary. There is
the possibility, Of course. that. like his
ship. the Karluk. he has been carried
away 10 the westward or the north

In that ease his chances are small"
The European war had put damper
