For two years and more the INIT
ed States Navy has been the subject
OF discussion as bitter as it is CON
fused. The disputes between pacihst
and militarists, between Democrats
and Republicans. have resulted in a
Babel. and out Of it all have come
preJudices that do not care to both
er with facts.
The people OF the United States
are entitled to the truth and nothing
but the truth What is slanGer and
what is fact? Is the navy as it stands
To-Day, an asset or liability? Is the
navy bill honest and adequate or a
dose OF ''eye wash?" Has Secretary
Daniels 'demoralized:' Is he a
faithful public servant worthy Of
support, or Joke?
One man only has the authority
and possesses the exact knowledge
to answer dispassionately these ques-
tons. That man i, Admiral George
Dewey. He has been in the United
States navy since 1854. serving
through two wars. Since 1908 he
has been head Of the General Board

"The attacks that have been made
upon the navy" he said, are as false
as many Of them are shameful. It is

finest in the world.
at IS true that we have not enough
ships or enough men. But navies are
not built in day. 1t was between
1906 and 1909 that Germany passed
us. and that we commenced to lose
rank as naval power. This is in no
sense a criticism Of administrations.

GOOD EFFECTS OF TROUBLE
Much of the Advancement Of the
World May Be Traced to Those
Pugnaciously Inclined.

Most of us love trouble-that is,
most of the human race. Man cannot
remain contentedly out of trouble for
any length of time, it seems. And If
you doubt the statement, all you have
to do is to remember the numerous In
stances when you were getting along
all right, and then deliberately "butted
into" something that was not your af-
fair.
Take the matter of politics, if you
please. Half of the political troubles
we read about are unnecessary. That
is to say, lot of the people mixed up
in politics are so mixed for no pur-
pose in this world save that they may
make trouble for themselves or some
body else. For it really makes little
difference to the average man who is
elected; indeed the average man takes
an interest in politics not because he
thinks by doing so he can best serve
the public, but because he wants a
fight
OF course all of us like to flatter our
selves that we are doing something for
the nation or the country or a group
of people. But the truth is most of
US are doing nothing of the kind.
But, did you know that most of the
good that has so far resulted to the
world has come from the troublemak-
ers. and not from the peacemakers?-
