NAVY NOT STARVED.
Congress Has Been liberal With
Appropriations.
Figures Show That Republican Ad.
ministratiors SqUanhered Money
Designed for the ,UpbuiIding
of the Country's4 Fleets.

Our neighbor the Sun, has Joined
with the World in expressing healthy
curiosity to know what has become OF
all the immense sums of money that
the American people have spent on
the navy during the past 16 years.
The World has repeatedly called at
tention to the discpncerting fact that
our naval expenditures exceed those
of Germany and austria combined. yet
Admiral Fiske has testified that it
would take five years to get the Ameri-
can navy into state Of efficiency
equal to that of the>German navy.
The Sun has taken the trouble to
compile the naval appropriations OF
the United States and Germany for
the last 16 years. 1t finds that the
total appropriations for the American
navy during that time aggregate ST..
645,000,18 The total appropriations
for the German navy during these 16
years are only $1,237, s15, $50. Since
the Spanish-American war the Ameri.
can people have spent 100000. 900
more on their navy than the Germans
have spent, and now we are told by
naval experts that our navy is inferior
in all respects to the German navy.
tits plain that congress has not
starved the navy. No other navy, ex-
cept the British, has received such
generous appropriations. 1t is equally
plain that the American people have
not had dollars worth of navy for a
dollars worth OF expenditure.
The present controversy gets us no.

ships IN place of two, the unstinted
abuse Of Secretary Daniels and the at
tempt t. play party politics with the
national defense. The secret of our
naval inferiority is obviously in its or
ganizahon, and until that Is remedied
there will be no remedy.
For years the army organization was
VIGOROUSLY antiquated. Nothing was
done about 1t until 1t broke down dur
ing the Spanish war and the
whole country screamed for a victim,
which it found in Secretary Alger.
Then Elihu Root was allowed to frame
a~bill that gave the country a modern
army organization. Must we wait I'M

POPULAR PLAY HOUSE
The Loyal Theatre Here Ranks with Best

The Loyal Theatre, in this village ranks
with the best motion picture house in the

fact Manager Harto certainly deserves
much credit for the securing of the pictures

late his efforts in your behalf and show that
appreciation by supporting his play house.
