in compliance with the secretary's re-
quest for "a program formulated in
the most definite terms, planned for
consistent and progressive develop
ment of this great defensive arm of
the nation"
Details of the boards reply are not
revealed, as subsequently in October
of this year, the secretary asked the
board to prepare "a building program
for the navy that will continue over
a period of five years with an expen-
diture of about $1OO,000,00O each year
for FIVE years on new construction
only" The administration plans for
the construction OF sixteen capital
ships within five years is founded on
the boards answer.

RETROSPECTION
ToNOpAHs FIRST COMMUNITY XMAS TREE, 1901

who made merry on Xmas day, in
Tonopah, 1901. had experienced the
red letter event of their existence.
All of the juvenile element of the
camp participated in the interesting
program which consisted of recita
tons and singing, the only musical
instrument obtainable being an organ.
The following boys and girls took
part Gladys Turner, Anna Ferguson,
Mary McQuillan, Eva Keene, Hazel
Mckenzie, Alice Sparks, Sybi Sparks,
Quinton Sparks the three Gilbert
boys, Eddie Wheece and Harry Nor
gan II any OF these young people
should read this brief article, they
will doubtless indulge the hope that
they would also like to participate,
and perchance some of them may,
in some maner, in the forthcoming
Xmas tree exercises.
Tonopah, during the fourteen years
that have interviewed, has developed
into a mining camp of such magni-
tude as TO win, and justly so, the
admiration and wonder of the civil
lied world It's population has leaped
into the thousands, and its Onward
march of advancement and progress
challenges comparison. But above all
and beyond all. II is gratifying to note.
that the spirit of generosity and sym
patty is just as strong and yirile to-
day, as when Tonopah was first placed
upon the map. And that is the rea-
son, and the only reason, why the
kindly disposed men and women OF
the matchless silver producing camp
proposes to duplicate on December rs
1915, although on a much more pre-
tentious scale. the Community

GENERAL BOARD REPORT
FAVORS STRONG NAVY
"SHoULD BE EQUAL TO THE
MOST POWERFUL OF ANY
OTHER NATION"


WASHINGTON, Dec. %. - The
American navy should be equal to
the most powerful maintained by any
other nation OF the world" not later
than 1925 in the opinion of the navy
general board headed by Admiral
Dewey.
The annual report of the board,
made public tonight, discloses that
this naval policy was formulated by
the body in July last in answer to
the following proposition propounded
by Secretary Daniels when the ad-
ministration reached its decision to
enter upon campaign OF national
preparedness:
what the navy must be in the
future in order to stand upon an
equality with the most efficient and
most practically seryiceable,'
The boards conclusions follow:
"The navy of the United States
should ultimately be equal to the most
powerful maintained by any other ma
ton of the world. 1t should be gradu-
ally increased to this point but such
rate of development year by year,
as may be permitted by the facilities
of the country, but the limit above
defined should be attained not later
than 1925"
