Not q Word Of Specd,

Yet. unless | am very much mistaken
the secretary says not one word about
the all important question of the speed
or rather lack OF speed. OF our fighting
ships
The question Of our readiness for war
with an efficient enemy is worth discuss
INK at some length The esecrctaIys
mere assertion that our ships We're in q
position to make a brave showing
against the Mexican navy and the south
west wind AZ Vera Cruz will not stand
for one momen; against the positive
views as to our unreadiness for war
expressed by Commander Yarneu and
Admiral Fiske. Chief of Operations ot
the fleet.
Some OF the particular assertions
which have heretofore made and
which the Secretary entirely leaves an
answered are these
II invite your attention to the fact
that on the LIST OF July. 1914 before
the European war broke out. our navy
had fallen to fourth place, according 10
our own official figures. At that tim.
the warship tonnage Of Germany. built
and building. had grown to over one
million three hundred thousand tons.
while ours was less than nine hundred
thousand tons
meanwhile the wafship tonnage of
Great Britain. built and building. was
half a million tons larger than that OF
Germany and the United States com
bincd. Even France was little ahead
of us.
at is the opinion OF those best able
to judge that our navy IN totally made
qua'e for our defence.
AS to submarines. Admiral Nreeland
test fled that We need one hundred sub
marines for harbor defence alone. II
you reckon the FL, which is at the bot
tum II the sea, and If you reckon all
the submarines which are in the scrap
heap and those which ought to be IN
the scrap heap. and IL you reckon all
the submarines which are building, yop
will find that We have Just tifty-nlne.
\ sorry lot they are. many OF them at
least.
"One Of the most significant state
ments which ! have called again and
again 20 the attention OF the powers
that be II Admiral Fiske's testimony
that it would take five years TO ge, the
United States navy in condition to feht
an efficient foreign foe.
III by any chance you still continue
war he explains that much to hi sur
shortage OF officers and men In his own
feet.
Have you been able to fathom tho
reason why Congress continues to re-
fuse to build these fast drea.. nousht
cruisers which all the rest of the worlq
is building; Is il merely because 4
dreadnought cruiser costs six millions
Of dollars more than dreadnought? ?"

WRESTLING BOUTS

Brysn's Champion wrsssisrs Captured
One Contest and Dropped
the Other.

The airdome accommodated q very
good crowd at the double-bill wrest-
ling match last night In which the
Bryan contingent won and lost The
hrst bout. between Braswell Of this
city and Fsnnin Of Rockdale. was one
Of the cleanest and most evenly
matched bouts ever seen in Bryan.
Fannin gained the isrst and only fall
with a head scissors and arm hold
after loh minutes Of fast wrestling.
Each bout was scheduled for an hour
Of wrestling. and the remaining 1914
minutes of the hour were wrestled
without q fall. Braswell seemed to
have the edge on his opponent In
strength. bat the latter had what
science II required TO make mp the
difference. Time after time Braswell
would have his opponent in a tight
corner only to lose his hold by Fannin
working on the edge OF the mat or
would nounce out Of the hole. In the
last few minutes OF the match Bras
well gained what seemed to the spec
tators a fair fall. but the referee was
unable to get to where he could see
Fannin's shoulders before he broke
the hold and squirmed out OF danger.
The strickland-Smith match result.
ed In q fall for each. but Smith suf-
fered an injured shoulder and forfeit.
ed the third fall TO Strickland. claim
ing he was unable to 20 on the mat
again. Strickland was again pitted
against a man several pounds heavier
than he. Smith weighing l5i and
Strickland only 1874. but the match
was whirlwind from gong to gong
The FIRST fall was gained by strick
land In sis minutes with a body scis
sors and arm hold. secured Just after
Smith had broken a similar hold. Tho
second fall was won by Smith In
minutes with a half-nelson assisted
by his superior weight. In gaininI
this fall Smith hurt his shoulder ans
forfeited the match 10 Strickland.
Both matches were good. clear
bouts and the spectators were easil,
given their moneys worth.
Much enthusiasm was manifested
and the Bryan boys we're given heart,
support.
