The way to protect the spires of our

every type of ship. from the jitney
submarine to the superdreadnaught
said Secretary Daniels of the Navy De-
partment, at the tenth annual dinner
given by the Washington Society of
Engineers at Rauscher's last night.
There never vet was an engineer
who was standpatter.' said the Sec
retary. Engineers worship the god of
things as they may be. The engineer
may accomplish all human dreams. We
look for Aladdin's lamp in the science
of the engineer. and we look not in
vain. We thought five years ago war
was men, Today We find out war is
machinery. science and engineering.
The best way, to my mind, that the
navy may be prepared is to summon
the engineering genius at hand to our
help. We should not wait to do in this
country what some powers have had to
do after war came. | wrote to Mr..
Edison. the inventive genius Of Amer
ca, to help us. In responding he told
us to build factories and buy up raw
materials; to have things ready that
We might make munitions, though we
may not use them.
The navy is the right arm of our de-
fense. and it is our duty at all times
to protect our house home.

Organized on War Basis.s, I, ,

1T is one thing to be strong indus
triaily and quite another thing to util-
ize that industrial strength in it's full
ness in war. j. seems to me that Eng
land and Germany are about equal in
dustrially, each one being less stronger
industrially than the United States but
Germany has during the past forty
years organized her industries on a
war basis. She has used her cal, iron
and steel resources as a military weap-
on, and has during the generation past
SO ira ned her people that the nation is
equal : as far developed and as eff
cient when utilizing the resources of
the country for war as for peace
Just in proportion as the United
States exceeds all other nations in
wealth does it become desirable and
even necessary that we should prepare
for defense. We have much to pro-
tect We have the resources and the
means to afford protection, and until
all the powerful nations of the world
agree to disarm it is our plain duty
and the part of wisdom, to be thorough
ly prepared against attack.
Though we be as harmless as doves
and as innocent of offense as a smiling
Korean we are likely some day to
have a rude awakening unless we are
also as wise as serpents. Just as 1t
has taken d long period of years to eff
feet cooperation and organization in
our industries for peace, so will it re-

our people in state of preparedness

Address by W. L. Saunders.

George f. Putnam. commissioner Of
lighthouses, who is president of the So
ciety, was toastmaster. President Put
nam introduced William l.. Saunders,
president of the American Institute of
Mining Engineers. and vice chairman of
the naval consulting board. who said:
1.-The United States is In an impregna bic
position, through organized industry, on
lines of peace. No nation is SO far ad-
vanced The only nations which approach
us are England. Germany and at one
time Belgium. This is shown conspicuous
ly by the fact that the consumption of
coal in the United States is five tons
per capita, while in England. Germany
and Belgium it is about four tons per
capita: France, 1.6 tons per capita Rus
STA tincluding wood), one quarter ton
per capita A country may have very
large mineral product per capita, but
through export its influence in increasing
the per capita wealth of the people,
though manufacturing and other in
dustries. may be lessened but where a
country has large per capita consump-
ton of fuel. most of which. is used in
industries. it follows as a natural inference
that its people, or rather its labor, is
engaged in gainful and productive pdr-
suits. and that the country itself is in
dustrially at high level

First Thought in Defense Plans.

while our first thought in prepar-
ing for defense is one of protection to
American life and property on sea and
land, we should not forget the great
example which this nation has within
it's power to create by maintaining
peace on .;the American continents
through foreedofs arms Let our arms
be props of peace. 1t has been aaaid
that there never was good war or
a bad peace.
What higher motive could a nation
have, actQated as this nation is by the
spirit OF peace and good will than
that ii intends for all time to maintain
the integrity of every foot of territory
on the American continent; that it will
not permit a foreign nation to acquire
territory here, nor will ii permit any
of the nations on this continent to take
the territory of other nations here by
force of arms.
This is what DR.. Triana of the United
States of Colombia characterized in
the recent meeting of the pan-Ameri-
can financial conference as freedom
through democracy-a freedom which
promises peace on more practical and
lasting lines than all the millions suent
at The Hague. 1t is disarmament in it's
true sense.
This will set ar example to the world
which will show that land governed by
the people, with no kings or puteutates
is, in fact, the land of the free and the
Z home of the brave This Is the new
/ freedom, the true freedom"
