An Absent -Monded Bridegroom.

Robert Dewar, brother of Lord
William Dewar, the British scientist
who was the first experimenter to
liquefy air, is a remarkably absent
minded man. 1t is said that on one
occasion he left his home early one
morning and repaired to the house
OF friend, in which there was a fine
library to which he mad access. That
afternoon his relatives and friends
searched the neighborhood in vain
for him. At length he was run down
in this library. By his side was a
new suit of clothes.
It's a nice man you are," ironically
said the spokesman.
Whats the matter now?" return
ed Robert irritably.
Your bride and the preacher are
waiting for you this two hours. Don't
you know this is your wedding day,

as its vessels are alreadyslghtly armed

The necessity for large number of
auXiliaries Is apparent when one con-
siders the navy's deficiencies and the
extent of the coastline which must be
protected, The navy is deplorably
short of fast. light cruisers of the type
which both England and Germany have
used 50 successfully, and there are but
40 destroyers fit for service, according
to the United States Navy Year Book
for 1916, Just issued
OF course, all of the available vessels
are not stationed on the Atlantic sea
board; hence, one of the first duties of
the fleet would be to secure the At
lantic and Pacific approaches TO the
Panama Canal in order that a concer-
tration OF the whole fighting force could
be effected rapidly. The canal is vital
link that must not be broken, and it
may be assumed that part of the sub
marine tiotilla will be stationed at both
entrances. Although the canal fortif-
cations are well under way, a tactical
defense is not in itself sufficient par
ticularly on the Atlantic side, where the
chief danger would lie. The routes to
the canal through the Mona Passage,
west of Porto Rico, and by way of St.
Thomas, must be guarded, and so must
the Windward Passage between Cuba
and Haiti. Fortunately, the latter
route is dominated by the United States
naval station at Guantanamo, Cuba,
while both Porto Rico and ST. Thomas
the latter recently acquired-would
serve as useful bases for naval opera
tons in the Caribbean Sea.
Another strategical point that will
not be overlooked is the Straits of
Florida, which unite the Atlantic with
the Gulf of Mexico and the Mississippi
Valley. The United States Navy, like
the British Navy, draws a large part of
its oil supply from Mexican wells. The
British supply is drawn from the Tux.
pam fields. the American from Tampico.
The patrol of the Gulf of Mexico and
the Caribbean would call for a large
number of vessels, but there are other
great areas which demand equal pro-
lection. For instance, there is Chesa-
peake Bay, where great private ship
yards are engaged in building vessels
for the navy and vast quantities of coal
are shipped. Then.there is Delaware
Bay, another danger point. Finally,
there is the great stretch of coast from
Philadelphia to Boston, behind which,
and not very far from the seaboard, lie
the chief industries of the nation. The
deep harbors of Philadelphia, New York
and Boston, are the ones to (Which the

less. This long coastline must be ade-
quately patrolled, while the entrance to

One may ask why it is necessary to
take so MANY precautions. The an

take chances, From sssthe', New York

THE NAVY'S BIG TASK
IN CASE OF WAR

What part will the United States
Navy be called upon to play if we are
finally drawn into war against Ger
many and her allies? 1t has been tree
ly assumed that, because we are un-
prepared to land an army IN Europe,
our role would merely be that of bank
er, armorer and victualer to the Entente
Allies, but such belief is hardly iusti-
fed.
The navy is our first line OF defense.
1t would have a variety of work to do
the moment We changed our status
from a neutral to belligerent nation.
There can be no doubt that the Navy
Department has already make its dis
positions in the event of hostilities.
Surprising that war is a fact and the
United States Navy takes over the pa
troll of the western Atlantic, north and
south. Such move would have an
immediate effect in European waters.
The meat ships from Argentine, the oil
ships from Mexico. the munition car
rlers from our own ports. would come
| under the protection of American war
vessels for at least part of the voyage
to Europe. Most Of the French and
British cruisers-and there is large
number of them steaming along the At
lantlc trade routs-would be released
for service in fighting summaries and
conveying transports, while those that
remain on this station would have the
use of American ports to refit and coal.
A great burden would be taken off
| the shoulders of the allied nafies. Eng
land would no longer have to worry
about the transport Of oil from Mexico
the great fuel reservoir of the Royal
Navy-while American commerce would
under the circumstances move with
greater degree of security along the
ocean highways. Moreover, any Ger
man raiders which succeeded in GLIDING
the North Sea patrol would find their
task of destruction a difficult one if
their enemies were multiplied by the
addition of the American fleet.
In the event of war we shall I'M
doubtedly witness vast expansion of
our auxiliary fleet.
Considerably more than a year ago
the Navy Department took the precau-
ton to order survey of all American
merchantmen which would serve its
purpose in time of war, and the result
of this far-sighted work will be i'm
mediately apparent if call for auxili-
ares is sent out. The Navy Depart
ment also has list of motorboats and
yachts which would form a mosquito
fleet" as it was called in the Spanish
American War, of no mean proportions.
Our fishing industry has just begun to
adopt the steam trawler, and the num-
Der of those vessels under the American
flag is insignificant, but we are fortu-
nate in having different type of craft
which is almost as useful. This is the
seagoing tug-boat, manned by hardy,
resourceful seamen-sailors who could
be depended upon to do the heroic work
that the British fisherman is doing.
The tug boat fleet is large. Moreover,
the Coast Guard fleet. of which the ma
ton has reason to.be proud. would also
be drafted into the naval service, and
