the capital sum which inevitably would
have to be expended should. the work
of organization be postponed until after
war is in being.
Every intelligent. physically able
man who knows how to operate a

servist Every bright lad who has

of the reserve have in mind. 1 am not
talking of the naval militia of the
states. That is quite a separate and
potentially useful organization, main
tanned by the several states The re-
serve I now speak of is distinctly
federal reserve.
In the civilian branches of the gov
ernment are number of disassociated
organizations that should become part
of the naval reserve. Notable among
them is the revenue cutter service of
the Treasury Department. In all our
wars many of the revenue cutters, with
their personnel, have been taken over
into the navy as part of the fleet, and
invariably they have given a splendid
account of themselves. Highly trained.
always active, the revenue cutter Of
ficers and men are a great naval asset.
THE lighthouse service in the De-
partment Of Commerce, with its fleet
of lighthouse tenders, ofhcered and
manned by skillful men; the bureau of
navigation in the Department of Com
merce, with its force of wireless in
spectors and it's control over wireless
operations in time of peace; the bureau
of fisheries in the Department OF Com
merce, with its small fleet of vessels
with trained men in charge: the coast
and seodetic survey, with Its consid
erable fleet and its trained personnel:
the life-saving service In the Treasury
Department, with its force Of brave
and wonderfully able surf boatmen-
all these make up the nucleus of a
magnificent reserve for the navy.
with the exception of the revenue
cutter service. all of these organiza-
tions are maintained absolutely with
out thought of the usefulness of their
personnel for naval purposes in time
of war.
That is what mean when 1 say that
in the scheme Of national defense there
should be correlation Of the several
departments and bureaus of the gov
ernment which may contribute to the
nations defensive strength.
I'm and out of the government serv-
ice are thousands Of other skilled spe-
cialists who might we'll be enrolled In
a naval reserve, such, for example, as
men who understand the military use
of electricity. who are familiar with
the handling of explosives, who are exc
pert telegraph operators or signalmen

And as he stood there he talked of
war, of preparations for war, and the

preservation of the national ideals. He

who believes in war: nor yet as one
