citizen or subject OF any one of the
progressive nations is about as good
as another in war. The Germans know
this. They are familiar with the rec
ords Of British target practice. Com
pairing these with their own, they have
the cold fact of relative merit which
brushes away all sentimental consid-
erations in their practical minds. Thus
for the German feet to undertake bat
tie means that they will have, say,
$50 guns of great caliber against 400
for the British.
And these great guns decide the mas
terry of the sea-these giants in their
armored turrets on the surface of the
sea. The destroyers which play around
them like cavalry outriders on the
watch for submarines, the light cruis-
ers on blockade and patrol duty, the
scouts, the hydroplanes, the trawlers
sweeping for mines and the mine lay
ing ships-all are but the attendants on
the great fighting ships whose guns

machinery and how to teach the en-
| listed men to handle it
You may make your infantry in six
months, but no one thinks that you can
make a turret crew of a battleship in
six months. The bluejackets whom
you see occasionally about the streets
of coast towns on leave, though they
seem care free and easy going sons of
the sea, must be as expert In their
departments on board a man-of-war as
watchmakers or tile layers or plumb
ers at their trades.
The greatest battleships have at most
only twelve twelve-inch guns or ten

tually in commission. Upon their guns
depends the fate of the nation in naval
battle. Any absence of skill, any loss
OF self command on the part of any
one member of gun crew when shells
are beating the armor of the ship also
may decide the action.
DIeduHduSuIS must not only nave
the most expert service, but there must
be enough of these experts. We must
not run out of these skilled mechanics
in time of war. Ships without men
are as helpless as men without ships.
We have not even enough men in
active service to do the navy's work.
We have to lay ships up for the want
OF men to man them.
Not Enough Officers on Our Ships.
And what of officers? The men come
and go, but the commissioned officers
make the navy a permanent profess
sion no less than a lawyer makes the
law or an engineer engineering or a
physician the practice of medicine. No
profession is more exacting in the
knowledge required or in the study
necessary to keep up to date. They
begin at their profession young, the
very day as boys they enter Annapolis;
they keep hard at 1t. Naval officers
can no more be improvised on short
notice in time of war than surgeons or
lawyers.
AS the British navy has long term

can beat anything except ships Of
equal power into the sea.
There may be some doubt before a
war which army will win, but there
can be little doubt as to which navy
will win as between two of equal eff.

tutions that have to weather a finan-
cial storm.
Our Target Practice Too Sparina.
In material our battleshIps are as
good If not better than any In the
world. We have held to the impor-
lance OF gurA power, but when it comes
to battle practice we have not had
enough under modern conditions with
full charges, because somebody thinks
full charges are too expensive.
Our fleet should not spare ammuni.
ton. The little extra that it costs to
have proper practice Is small beside
the cost of dreadnaught and the pay
OF its officers and crew. Both the
German and British navies are al
ways at the business of preparing for
battle - maneuverlng and training
which is the only reason for their ex-
stence. Again and again this lesson
must be repeated. Give our navy the
same opportunity as the British and
German to be efficient.
And what about 1.-THE man behind
the gun?' We talked lot about him
during the Spanish war. He is the
human factor which must make all
the material, from electric training
gear and powder hoists, from range
finding to gunfire, work smoothly.

to ball In the Clouds. All the Clouds
sent the invitation to all the Fairies,
so that every single Cloud was all
ready dressed up and feeling very soft
and fluffy and happy-which are the
feelings the Clouds love best
1t was rather late in the afternoon
when the dance was to commence, but
all the Fairies were there right on
time. They went up to the Clouds
on the little Breezes which are the
Children of Mr. South Wind. The
Breezes carried them along so gently
and so smoothly that they hardly
knew they were going up in the Air.
Well first. they went to the highest
Cloud of all and began the dance.
The Cloud was dressed in a beautiful
gray and silver dress with lovely Law
ender touches here and there Tor the
ornaments.
And then when the Fairies had
danced for quite time up in this
Cloud, they went down to the next
Cloud, and so on through all the
Clouds that were up in the sky that
afternoon.
The Clouds were wearing the most
beautiful of gowns and how the
Fairies did admire them There were

bright red, scarlet, and pale, pale pink,
and OF course many exquisite silver
gowns, for the Clouds love silver.
And what fun it was for the Fair
les to drop lightly from Cloud to
Cloud and have dance at each stop
ping place.
And after they had danced a long
time. the Clouds began to get darker
and some very sleepy ones even went
away entirely.
But the ones who stayed I'D late
that night changed their gowns for
the evening-Just like grown-up Ladies'
often do. They wore silver and black |
and looked very splendid with the rays
from Mr.. Moon making their gowns
look quite dazzling.
For, of course, Mr.. Moon had to he
at the evening ball, and he grinned
and beamed with happiness.
