Father Of the New Navy"

William e. Chandler was proud of the
title, Gather of the New Navy" He
had earned it, and knew its value. He
never lost interest in the work he had
inaugurated, but followed, and assisted,
all developments of it under other ad-
ministrators. While in the Senate he
supported and helped secure appropria-
tons for increasing the eountry's sea
power, and did missionary work in
bringing others to his point of view.

situation all along as he himself saw
the country's needs, we should today be
- strong on the water as the emergency
demands.
