sells in the naval service now as there
were when the United States entered
the war. Every battleship and cruiser
that was in reserve has been fully
manned and commissioned. Many
hundreds Of vessels and fast motor
craft have been surveyed, taken over
and converted into patrol boats. Many
vessels have been completed since the
war began by hurried construction.
More than $50 merchant vessels have
been armed with naval guns and sup
piled with naval crews and officers.
The American feet has been provid-
ed with supplies and ammunition and
made ready for action for any demand
that might be made upon it.
In addition to getting ready the fleet
existing, the navy department is also
carrying out the largest ship construc-
ton program in the history of any ma
ton. 1t has now in process of con
struction ISL vessels, extending from
uperdreadnoughts 10 submarine
chasers. The total cost to those under
construction at present is estimated at
more than $l,150,0 900
To Lead in Destr0yers.
Arrangements were recently made
for completing q very large number of
destroyers in addition to the many al
ready under construction, and these
when finished will give US the largest
number of destroyers of any navy in
the world. These destroyers are in
dispensable for warfare against sub
marines and for protecting our COM
merce and destroying the commerce
of our enemies. Formerly it took 20
months 10 construct destroyers. Ar
rangements are now made for these
to be constructed within ten months.
The feet, In order TO be kept in re-
pair and ready at all times, has re-
quired large construction at the var
ious navy yards, including dry docks,
wharves, warehouses, piers, barracks,
etc. all of which are being rapidly
provided. An aircraft factory is being
built and the navy department is sup
plying itself fully with the aircraft so
much needed.
The navy has been In continual
training since war was declared, and
the records made by officers and men
have been exceedingly fine and most
gratifying. a large fleet of destroyers
has been sent TO aid our allies in
Europe, and the largely decreased loss
in shipping from submarines attests
to their efficient and successful work.
! have read the reports from our navy
in foreign waters. and these show ac-
complishments of which we should in
deed be proud The navy has the re-
sponsibility of safely transporting our
trops to France and this has been sue
cessfully done.
Spirit of Men the Best.
The health, spirit and enthusiasm of
the navy, both in men and officers. are
fine. When it is remembered that
when this war started the navy was
short about 1000 officers from its then
authorized strength. and that the list
Of officers could not be largely in
creased by graduates from the naval
academy. and that most of the new
officers and men had to be taken from
civil life, drilled and made efficient
and acquainted with their new work,
| 1t seems to me the accomplishments

GY SENATOR CLAUDE T.. SWANSON
3i Virginia, Ranking Majority Member
Of Senate Committee on Naval Affairs.
Congress and the administration are
both deserving Of great credit for the
rapid improvement, increase and efic-
iency Of the navy During the years
IN which Wilson has been president
congress has appropriated more than
S2.200 900 600 for naval purposes,
which exceeds the total appropFia
tions for naval purposes from the be
ginning Of the new navy in 1888 up to
3le Wilson administration by more
han S250,000.000. BY the warm and
earnest cooperation Of congress and
the administration the United States
when its present program is completed
will have easily the second largest
navy in the world. For the fiscal year
ending June 30, 1918, congress has APP
propriated $l604,O00, 100000 and au
;horized contracts for $27l ,00Q 900
During the last two years the appro-
priations by the United States for
naval purposes have far exceeded
those OF any other nation for the same
length of time, either in peace or war.
New Navy Created.
The legislation for the increase of
the navy in material ard personnel and
changing and reforming its manage
ment has practically created an en-
tirely new navy. It's increase in efic-
iency has been as marked rs its in
crease In size. Workmanship and the
records Of officers and men have daily
improved and their efficiency in every
respect become greater. I am salts
fled that If an opportunity presents
itself the American navy will give a
splendid account OF itself OF which the
country will be proud. Congress has
. been most generous in responding TO
the demands of the navy for appro-
priations and increases, and the Sc
curity OF the navy has wisely, efficient
iy and promptly used the resources
placed at his disposal. / have kept in
close touch with the navy department,
especially since the declaration of war,
and Secretary Daniels has proven him
self most capable administrator and
efficient secretary of the navy 1t is
gratifying to know the amount that
has been accomplished in so short a
time.
The navy and marine corps have
been increased until they now consti-
tute force OF more than quarter Of
million men. Since the declaration
of the war the navy by volunteer en-
listments has been increased from Ca
600 TO more than $4,000. In addition
TO these there are in the naval reserve
10000 men, In the national naval vol
unteers IA 800 men. in the hospital
corps $500 men, and about 5000 men
in the coast guards. There are now
about $4,000 commissioned and war
rant officers in the navy and reserve.
The marine corps has grown since the
declaration OF war from 49, 600 to more
than $4,000 by volunteer enlistments.
To raise, train and officer this largely
increased force was indeed a great
undertaking. and the department is
deserving OF commentator for the
promptnsss and efficiency with which
II has been done.
There are three times as many ves-

PUBLICITY

While the matter Of publicity or no
publicity in the affairs Of government
relating to the war, is engaging the
attention Of many, and various views
are held, there is one side Of the pub
licity question that should not be lost
sight of-the financial side Of local
public affairs.
Il is an unfortunate fact that the
laws of the various states are very
incomplete in this vital matter. Also
it is unfortunate that what statutes
are in existence are in many instances
dead letters.
The very essence Of popular gov
eminent is that the ultimate power
is such government rests in the
people. Public officials are in truth
but servants, and responsible directly
to the people who place them in o.
fee, hence the public is entitled to
and should have q full knowledge Of
their every public action.
But this knowledge can not be haG
without an efficient system of public
ity. Mere access to public records, oil
knowledge gained by word Of mouth
will not answer. Nothing like q cor
rect knowledge of the financial condi'
ton of any public office can be gain
ed by these means.
There are but two causes that con-
tribute to derelictiOn in public office
ignorance and croOkedness. Some
times these are hard to distinguish
one from the other. In either case
however, publicity is the only agency
that will effectually protect the pub
lie. This the ignorana but honest Of
fetal will welcome. It is only the
crook who opposes it.
Every state in the union should

THE ELDERLY MANS INNING

II this war does nothing more for
this country, it will be almost worth
its cost when it shall have altered the
national view of the elderly man in
business.
For years past the business world
has clamored for "young blood" In
almost every line gray hairs have
been tabooed, though they might
adorn heads filled with the wisdom
of Solomon. At every turn one has
been met by youngsters scarce out Of
college, in positions Of the highest
honor and trust-positions that
should have had the attention that
only age and experience could bring
to them.
One potent cause for this state of
affairs has been the strenuous pace
at which business has been going for
the past few decades. Along with
this has gone the idea that the elder
" man could not stand that pace
forgetting that in order to accomplish
the maximum of achievement it was
not necessary for him to maintain the
pace, as his skill and experience, born
of long practice, counted for more
than the dash and fire of his younger
competitor.
This state of affairs has been car
ried to an extreme, and the really
capable men of the country have been
| in numberless instances displaced by
youngsters with very little to recon-
mend them save their "dash."
But the tide has turned. With the
calling of the younger men to the
colors, the managers Of the business
world are being compelled to have re-
Icourse to the despised gray hairs.
We repeat, that II the war shall
bring no other benefit than to restore
to US a just appreciation Of age and
experience-of course we have no
reference to the dotard-it will have
been almost worth the cost.

HOW TEACHERS MAY HELP

Teachers in the public schools Of
certain city in this country have
set q precedent that should be fol-
lowed generally. They have unani-
mously agreed to contribute their ser
vices for one month Of the present
term free, in order to lengthen the
term.
This IL in u state where the public
funds are not sufficient to warrant
the desired length Of school term,
and there are many states wherein
the concession would not be neces-
sary. Still the concession would be a
splendid display Of patriotism, even
there.
The school teachers of our country
stand in the most responsible position
in public life. They are very close
to the young and growing mind Of the
youth, and their attitude on any ques-
ton of the hour is sure to have pro-
found influence in shaping the views
of those under their charge. II they
display the proper degree Of patriot
ism and self-sacrifice, there will be u
ready response from the young.
If every teacher in the country
would decide to make a patriotic do
nation Of a portion Of his or her sal
airy to some department Of the ma
tons war activities, where the same
is not needed by the schools, in order
to secure a full term, they would set
before our young people an example
that could not fail to bear great and
lasting fruit.
