II there was any idea In German
councils that the action Of the United
States government would be paralyzed
by the presence In this country Of a
large population of German origin 1t
must have been dispelled by the hearty
assurances Of loyalty from the Ger
n-Americans which followed the
presidents note on the Lusitania case.
Nobody here had any doubt where the
people Of German birth or descent
would stand in any case where the
United States was concerned But
there has been miscomprehension in
Berlin regarding the loyalty Of Great
Britain's subjects in Ireland, India and
the colonies. and It is possible that
there was miscomprehension regard
ing the attitude Of those OF our citi-
zens to whom Germany is the father
land. There can be as little doubt
now in Berlin as there is in Washing

At the beginning Of the war In Eu-
rope the United States navy ranked
third among the great ones OF the
world, Great Britain being far to the
front and Germany second At that
time we had thirty first class battle
ships, with a displacement OF 49s,932
tons, and Germany had thirty-fve
ships OF the first class with a displace-
ment Of 522,5T0 tons. The total num-
Der OF vessels OF all classes In service
in the German navy at that time, ex-
Guiding ships of 1900 tons or less, was
246, and I'm our navy 153, the differ
ence being mainly in the far greater
number Of small cruisers and destroy
ers owned by the Germans. We had
a few more submarines then than they
and have added three new battleships.
II will be seen that in first class bat
tleships. which form the primary stand
ard of comparison between navies,
there IS not much difference between
our navy and that Of Germany in num-
Der and size of ships. Our largest ships
carry heavier and more powerful guns
than those OF the largest German ships,
but are not so fast This lack Of speed
Is one of the chief causes Of criticism

THE TRAMP STEAMER
By George Fitch

tramp steamer is the only kind of
 a tramp for which a use has been found so far. Like other tramps. it has home. but never goes there. But un like other tramps it is always working and it's nose is seldom painted. Tramp steamers do not have gilt and white cabins and are not infested with mil
 lionaires and chorus girls returning from Europe on their frugal vacations. They are plain, awkward boats, IS rat in the bows as a canal boat, and if a vacuum cleaner were turned on them after a trip they would pan out more dirt than a Vermont farm has But in their homely, diffident way they carry the ocean commerce of the world and enable the frugal housewife of Amer ica to buy English needles, because they come a cent pound cheaper. The ocean liner travels back and forth be- tween two ports, untn she mas worn furrow in the map. But the tramp steamer blows slowly through the wa ter from Liverpool to Melbourne and thence to Roratonga, Shanghai. Una laska, Papeete, Reykjavik. Delagoa, Matanzas Terra del Fuego Tsuruga, I-ibau and other freckles on the map, which can only be found by a good ge- ography scholar. Tramp steamers have carried enough wheat to Europe during the last year to feed 50,000.00O people That shows the foolishness of their name. If they were real tramps they would not be carrying food. They would be panhandling it from port to port
 There are many thousands of tramp steamers in the world. Some of them are small and some are big enough to carry the crops of a whole county in one cargo. But practically none of them fly the United States flag. Thisi is because the steamer which flies the United States flag has to pay it's crew American wages and feed them civil ized food. After the crew of an ordin- ary tramp steamer get over a three months trip they sometimes go out and become real hoboes for the sheer lux ury of it.
 Some people think the age of adven- ture will he over when the last war ceases. But so long as men can nurse rickety old steamers with rheumatic engines and weak backs through win ter gales on the five oceans and row blthely to shore 956 miles by pedome- ter in an open boat with one days board in her locker, when the said rickety steamer has Hoped to the bot tom, there will be some variety in life left for those who can't bear comfort and safety
