But this does not begin to tell the story Of the big things the Wilson ad- mlnlstratlon has done to increase the navy. For the first ume in the history of the republic, a chief macistrate went before congress and advocated the new policy of a continuing con- sruCtive program instead of the au- thorization year by year. As a result of President Wilson's policy, approved by congress- a wide departure has been made and, by the authorization of three-year program, the Wilson administration has authorized in addi- tton to the 121 ships enumerated above, the construction of ninety more ships, including six ireadnaughts, two battle cruisers, six scout cruisers. thirty-seven submarines and thirty torpedo boat de strOyers
 Presidents Program Popular.
 No such program has ever before been suggested by a president, and it passed congress by a majority so large as to show that in his resolve we "should be strong upon the sea-" President Wilson had the support of the overwhelming majority of the American people of all parties. h. deed, the presidents continuing pro-
 
 lar that both the democratic and re- publican conventions specifically de- mandad it's adoption by congress- It was his appeal to the people, and their monster human and written petitions Of endorsement, which secured the big naval building program.
 A Contrast.
 The total amount for the cOnstruc- tiOn of new ships authorized by the Wilson administration is $655,289.- S06. The total during Taft's admins tration was $127.747,113. That is to say, Wilson in a little over three years has secured auth hOrizations more than three times as much to increase the navy as did both Roosevelt and Taft in their eight years. If his two predeces- sOrs had shown half as much interest in strengthening the navy as Wilson has shown, it would not be necessary now, in a period of high cost of con- structiOn, to make such large proVi- sion es the siXty-third and sixty-fOurth congresses have been forced to au- tEorize in order to make up for the

WHAT WILSON ADMINISTRATION
 HAS DONE ID BUILD UP NAVY

and increase the then standard eff 1 ciency of the navy it did not seem l necessary, however, that the navy | should-at least in the immediate fu- 1 ture-be increased beyond the pres l ent number of units," and he advocat- ed adding "a single battleship to our navy each year, Tn his 1907 mes sage President Roosevelt wrote to 1 congress: T do not ask that we con- tinue to increase our navy. I merely ask that it be maintained at it's pres ent strength." At that time the gen. eral board was insisting upon two to three new batt1eships each year, but their recommendation was carefully pigeOn-holed and not permitted to reach the public. Never until the Will son administration was the recom mendation of the general board given to the public. "I never saw it, waC the statement of the two ranking members of the naval affairs commit tee of the house, when, in 1913, 1 printed the general boards report as an appendix to my report. And yet, though successive republican admins trations had kept it as a sealed book, while I gave it circulation, certain critics declare I have suppressed re- ports If former administrations had done as much for the increase of the navy year by year as the Wilson ad- ministration did during it's first two years, the American navy would not have dropped from second to third place.
 When Wilson was inaugurated the navy was short of ships, short of men, short of officers, short of munitions, short of air craft, and behind in tar get pra ctice.
 Target Practice.
 It was good tip to 1909 at the short ranges then used, but had fallen off "between 1909 and 1913," to quote Captain Sims, an expert in target practice. Admiral Fletcher says the recent practices were held at ranges of from 16, ,OO0 to 18,000 yards, which are the longest ranges at which firing has occurred in the present European war, and "it is believed that scores recorded are higher than ever before in the open sea-" Captain Sims says that the last target practice "came up about 40 per cent" Captain Plunkett, director of target practice, says, "The records of the fall of 1915 indicate that we are advancing by leaps and
  including the commando chief of the Atlantic fleet, give like testimO Ony, and the determination to make still greater improvement shows the splen- did spirit that animates the navy. I do not claim any credit for this ex- cept that I have sought the leadership 0f the best equipped experts and giv- 7n them every opportunity and en- | for practice and prac- 1 ice, and still more practice.
 Fighting Craft
 What has the Wilson administration lone for this chief need? Three naval ! pills have passed. In the first two pills appropriations were made for l i've dreadnaughts, as against three | n the last two years of Taft's admin l stration. There were like increases | n destrOyers and submarines. The | following is comparative table | showing the number of the various ,lasses of vessels for which appropria- ions were made during the Roosevelt, I Taft and Wilson administrations:
