before they can give the last word III liie u'''s
1T seems hard that such enormous sums must
be outlayed for ships which in ~ years Will oe
scrap without rendering any very good service
unless the nation should become involved IN war
1t is also unfortunate that Il police force OF any
sort is necessary and that fire Insurance pre-
miums must be paid. The only compelling cause
for the construction of these ships is that they
are type which other nations possess, and With
out which the United States will be at a grave
disadvantage If opposed to nation possessing
them.
"As commerce destroyers it is plain that their
spsed and power will enable them to overtake
and destroy anything atoat except battleships.
The raids made by the German cruisers upon the
English coasts show how easily they can slip past
a batteshp fleet and the Emden has proved
what swift cruiser can do against enemy's
commerce until swfter and powerful
cruiser puts an end to its career. If it not
for the English cruisers, which would seek and
cut them down by one, the German battle
cruisers in spite of all the battleships of the Eng
lish navy, would go to and make all kinds of
trouble for the ships bearing to the allies muni-
tions, food supplies and money paid for the manu-
factured articles which the allies in their ships
are sending to the markets of the world because
they have sea control.
THE battle off Jutland most certainly has not
established anything not already known against
to suppose that one could engage battleship at
any range on equal terms. The naval engineers
put all the expensive and powerful machinery in
them; the designers of the hull gave them the
fine lines to keep them at long range from the
backbone of the fleet; and when that speed was
used to take them close to the batteships the in
evitable happened.
"As scouting force to locate the enemy these
swift powerful ships break through a screen and
accomplish what they were intended to do: and
there Is no doubt that the swift wing of a fleet
they will be invaluable In pursuit of an enemy
and in certain other fleet maneuvers. That thew
cannot be successfully opposed to battleships no
more proves that they are unfit for their strategic
functions than the inability Of English battleshps
to overtake the German cruiser fleet proves that
they unable to give and receive blows

The mild, yet satisfying Chester
field blend is not the result of happy
chance. 1t is one of the results of
our many years Of cigarette experience
- of the heavy volume of our purchases
OF cigarette tobacco - Of the prestige
and advantage these enormous pur-
chases give us in securing the choicest
leaf from the tobacco fields Of the world.
Chester6elds are an achievement.

You have been reading here some
rather unusual, almost daring, state
ments about a cigarette. If Chester
tlelds were an untried cigarette - if we
had not been observing their behavior
IN other cities - if we did not KNOW
that they make good with smokers, we
could not afford to make these state
mentS to you over our signature.
But these statements, strong as they
are, can mean little or nothing TO YOU
until you have actually smoked your
first Chesterfield.
You will find that your own dealer
has ChesterfeldS waiting for YOU.
