UNCLE SANS NAVY NOW RANKS FOURTH

Bank Notes." periodical issued by the U.
s. Bank Note Co., of indianapolis Indiana, has
interesting instructive article in its May issue
navy followB:
"A few years ago the United States navy rank
ed second among the navies of the world. Then
Germany forced into third place. Within the
past few months, France has showed US out and
down to fourth place. What Will be the next move?
In matter of tonnage, navy ranks fourth;
in actual battle, may rank even lower. Here is
the reason: All battleships laid down previous to
1909 are obsolete far taking part in general
engagement is concerned, for in that year Great
Britain launched the world first superdreadnought
The battleships we built previous to 1909 could do
nothing against frstline ships built since then.
Their armor is lighter Their guns outranged.
They be used scouts the cruisers
of other nations travel faster. Their only use
would be commerce raiders to fight patrolling
Fquadrons.
Year after year Congress has disregarded the
arnngs of War College. The General Board in
1903 laid down plans for the building of capital
ships each year along with the necessary auxiliary
ships to balance the fleet. This plan would have
given fleet of fortyeight dreadnoughts in 1918.
The copper era and Morenci leader. [volume] (Clifton, Ariz.) 1911-1929, 1915-05-21

The general Boards plans have been changed by
Congress; the plans if carried out would find
us with % dreadnoughts, 127 destroyers "a fast
scouting cruisers, mine ships and Al submarines.
What do we actually possess?-15 dreadnoughts, 8
Anticipated scout cruisers, ships and 81 sub
marines.
The navy departments splendid direct publicity
campaign for is doing the could
be expected and Secretary Daniels says enlistments
up full legal quota, other experts declare
the need of $4,000 men. Three pew battleships
the Oklahoma Nevada and Pennsylvania will
take their places with the fleet within year. each
requiring 1000 Several of battleshps had
no target practice in 1914; has had it.
The Germans recently lost the Bluecher
cruiser, in the North Sea- it running away,
it's speed only % knots and its pursuers made
26 knots. The cruisers of other Powers could
easily overtake and sink cruisers.
We have not enough fast cruisers; they are
intensely essential, for otherwise would know
nothing of the whereabouts of the enemy's ships
Thirty-two of older battleships with guns of
equal lesser power than the Idaho out-ranged
by faster foreign ships. They would be sunk before
they got near enough for their shells to strike the
enemy.
Our frstline fighting ships are unsurpassed, and
have only few such ships, and to send them
against fleet like Great Britains or Germany's
would be suicide. No battleship on earth can sink
three four similar ships in engagement
Uncle Sam is building the greatest sea-go
ing submarines in the world; they could go to
England and return their power; they will
have ten torpedo tubes and remain under water
seventy-two hours without rising for air.
Thomas A. Edison has come out strong for a
bigger navy for the United States He figures that
should build, at once, two hundred coast defense
and forty sea-going submarines. Mr. Edison further
says should get busy and build up our fleet to
eighty dreadnoughts.
No matter how much the United States expands
world power in commerce from on, she
cannot hold that trade unless she has powerful
navy for police protection.
Wouldn't it be cheap Insurance.?
No one is going to attack because we have
big navy. - -
Some probably will because we have not
big navy will not imply aggression; it will i'm
ply defense; aggression would be entirely up to. u.s.
and you sure the people of the United States
would be against it. ~.

tract was let by the Board of Supervisors in Janu

The editor of the Journal KNOWS. and was
told by members of the Board of Supervisors why
that paper was not awarded the contract for the
public advertising in 1915.
The brief and simple.
The Journal was not the LOWEST bidder.
Sec. 1866 of The Revised Statutes OF Arizona,
1913, plainly reads follows:
In the publications of all notices, proclamatons,
proceedings of Boards and all other notices for pub
LEGATION in the various counties of this state the
type used in such publication shall not be larger
than the body type of the paper in which such
notices, proclamations, etc., are published"
The body type used by the Journal in 1914 for
printing legal notices is known, in printers par
lance as 10 point type. The body type used by
the Era for printing similar notices, and which is
being used on the 1915 advertising contract is
known as point type smaller type, by approx
mately rs per cent. .' s' -
