NAVY AMPLE FOR ANY EMERGENCY

NAVY AMPLE FOR ANY EMERGENCY
savsy,t liaieulss tho Views Of A'a'rabls
Augustus ?. Gardner and Upha|ds Daniels
How absurd is thissilly clamor
of our danger! Itcan come from
only two classes-those afflicted
with imbecility of mind, or those
prompted by depravity ofmorals.
Here We are the most powerful
and the most opulent nation in
the world, courted by all the other
nations of the world OF the first
or second class. And yet We are
gravely told that unless we arm
to the teeth our day of destruc-
ton is at hand. l can see how
the steel trust, that wishes to sell
armor plate for ships, and the
powder trust, that hopes to sell
munitions for guns, favor an i'm
perial navy, but tits curious that
q disinteested man like Gardner
should get in a swivet over it.
Let US see. Some years ago
England, the most powerful ma
ton in the world, was at WARMTH
a beggarly little people in South
Africa called the Beers. 1t took
England two years with hermas.
terry OF the seas-it took England
two years to land 25O,OO0 SOL
diers in South Africa. Now it
has been developed in that de-
plorable war over yonder that
the Canadian contingent is as
good fighters as any of them
Germans, English, French or BEL
gians. Those Canadians had o
training of some eight months
taken as they were from civil
walk. -.
1t would take even England
with her immense shipping, naval
and mercantile, a year to land
1000, 900 men on ourshores and
by that,time we could have g.
OOO, 900 as good soldiers as the
world ever nav u ariyst -siiern.
And it would take Germany or
France two or three years to land
j 900, 900 on our shores. Nay,
Germany could not land 1,OOO,-
600 hostile forces on our shores
in q century. She has not. got
tie transports, and in time of
peace England will never have
the soldiers. So we ore perfectly
safe from both. AS for Japan,
that people have got too much
sense to arouse the anger OF the
American people to desperation.
Besides, where would Japan get
the money?
Before long all the great ma
tions OF Europe will have had all
the fighting they want. 1t isnot
unlikely that the war will last
another year, or two. Certainly
it will if it is fought to a finish
till one side or the other is COM
pletely exhausted and helpless. as
our South was in 1865 and as
France was in 1871. Allof them
will be tired OF war and even the
victor will be powerless to harm
us even if disposed to do so, for
by.tbe time they could destroy
our navy and land 100000
men on ourshores we would have
the finest and biggest in the
world to meet them and welcome
them with bloody hands to hos
pitable graves, as Tom Corwin
said. % y,
England's navy has been vastly
superior to ours for q century.
Relatively We are stronger now
than at any period during the
century. During our civil war
there were many English states.
