Magnitude of Our Navy Today.
There may not be much poetry, but
certainly there is a world of truth in
the verse:
| God and our sailors we alike adore,
In time Of danger-not before:
The danger past both are alike re-
Quilted.
Gods forgot, the sailor sighted"
At all events the world tragedy of
recent months has profoundly inn
pressed every thinking man and wo-
man with the fact that the navy is
the greatest Institution a country pos
sesses. Its well-being. its safety, its
whole life depends upon it. And with
a keen realization of this fact has
come a natural desire among Ameri-
cans as to the efficiency of our navy
at this moment. 1t is therefore time
ly indeed for Lyman H. Howe to pre-
sent just at this time the most i'm
portant film review Of the United
States navy today that has ever been
secured of any navy.
