Preparedness Prevents War

While Roosevelt kent the peace for seven
md a half years he was constantly advocat-
ing preparedness. not for war but against
war. In those seven years the American
ANY and the American army, small as 1t
was. were brought to the highest point OF
efficiency. Never before in a time of peace
was the country so fit for eventualities.
This record of preparedness is a complete
answer to the n~acifist doctrine that prepar-
edness begets war; that the nation SO pre-
pared Is tempted to try its strength upon
It's neighbors.
What Roosevelt accomplished for peace
while preparing against war is set forth at
a glance by Joseph B. Bishop as follows.
Paste it in your hat:
1902. Arbitration of the European claims
against Venezuela, to which, he forced the
kaiser to consent.
1909. (a) Righteous peace with Turkey.
1903 la) Settlement of the Alaska Bound
airy Question. lb) Righteous peace with
Turkey, with protection Of American lives
and property.
1904. Protection of lives and property OF
Americans in Morocco. (Perdicaris case)
1905. fa) Peace between Japan and Rus
STA. lb) Policy of open door in China res
cued from destruction.
1906. Algeciras Convention, securing
equitable commercial relations between MO
rocco and European nations.
1907. Cruise Of the American battlefield
Ground the world, which restored friendly
relations between the United states and
Japan.

Ho, for the sunny hilltop!

And that is always playtime
When hearts are young and free.
Balloons we'll set aliying
Along the windy crest;
Seel all Of them are bright ones,
And all of them are light ones.
And the wind will do the rest.
Then high they drift, and higher,

And so we follow after,
With jolly songs and laughter
That fit the merry May.

Second Place For the
u. S. Navy

(Thomas +. Logan in Leslie's.)
How the United States navy can be re-es.
tablished in second place among the world
sea powers, was recently explained in a re-
port Of the general board OF the navy, sent
to Representative Butler Of the house naval
affairs committee. The country is equip
red to begin building within six months five
dreadnoughts, five battle cruisers, nine
scout cruisers, twenty-five d~estroyers and
an unlimited number of submarines. If con-
gress should direct that private shipbuild-
ers abandon all private work, a great in
crease in capacity would be possible. If the
government were willing to pay for three
shifts of labor, time of construction would
be cut to one half at an estimated increased
cost of 40 per cent. Determining naval
strength by the standard of displacement
applied to ships already built, the United
States navy reached second place in 1907
and lost it to Germany in 1911. 1t will cost
1904, 012,179 to bring the American navy up
to the lighting strength of the German navy.
Figuring on ships built and authorized, the
American navy was in second place for only
a few months in 1902 The United States
lost second position because it did not build
ships and provide personnel to meet the
%well-known building program OF the nation
now second in strength"
