In very early times silver was used
for ornaments. Spain appears to have
been the chief source from which silver
was obtained by the ancients. 1t is
thought the hills of Palestine may have

When the peace of Europe was broken by the

raval construction called for four drradnoughts and
four battlecruisers for 1917. At that date had
in commission and fighting trim, eight dreadnoughts
and 90 pre-dnadnoughts but no hattIe-cruisers
With our program of construction Carried out, it
would place naval strength in a very fair posi-
tioL as compared with other navics of the world
providing their building program has not l~cn

This would be especially compared with
Japan, whose naval strength in big fighting ma
