THE COMMANDING CARD.
CMacon. Ga, News.)

(MacOn, Ga, NeWs.)
So long ago as the sixteenth CEN
fury Sir Walter Raleigh. who sailed
the seas far and wide for England,
had an appreciation OF the worth OF
naval superiority. He declared:
"Whosoever commands the sea
commands the trade; whatsoever
commands the trade of the world
commands the riches of the world,
and, consequently, the world itself"
From the days of Xerxes and
Themistocles navies have decided
the fate of empires, and it is a
profound economic truth, now visi-
bly, demonstrated that command of
the oceans gives what Raleigh fore
saw.
For the advantageous position Of
the allies in the present tremendous
war credit is attributed largely TO
the great British fleet. The Eng
lish navy has not alone bottled up
the German ships of the line-it has
wiped German maritime commerce
