AMERICAN NAVY HAS
TWICE NUMBER SHIPS
IT HAD BEFORE WAR
DestrOyers Represent Back
bone OF Increase, Says
Admiral Taylor.

Washington, Nov. 22.--July, 1920,
the American navy will have more than
twice the number of ships it had be.
fore the outbreak of the war, Admiral
Taylor, chief of naval construction, told
the house naval affairs committee to-
day
This is inclusive of about $50 wooden
submarine ehasers, which the navy ex-
poets to sell other governments or to
put out of commission.
Destroyers represent the backbone Of
the increase, Taylor said. There are
now 100 Of these in commission and 240
more will be added in the next eighteen
monthes, making this countrys de.
stroyer force nearly equal to that of
Britain.
Idaho Commissioned.
One new dreadnaught, the Idaho, will
be commissioned in about month
Taylor said. Two more, the Tennessee
and the California, are rapidly ap.
preaching completion and an addition
al two will be done before the sum
mer Of 1920. There will be no new
scout cruisers until late in 1920.
Twenty-nine more submarines viii be
completed before the middle of 1920,
giving this country 35 to 40 more an
derwater craft tban in 1916, Taylor
said. Fifty mine sweepers which will
likely be converted into gunboats, 100
Eagle boats and 2J tugs make. up The
rest Of the great increase, revelation
of which today astonished even mem.

kept in close touch with naval affairs

task that's given him and push it
through to completion, and do the job
up IN great shape, too. Since he's Joined
the army every man Jack of us has had
ms Just opportunity to kick and kick
hard, and it's only natural to add that
each and every one of us has never let
that opportunity go slipping by the door
or our tent unheckoned But like the
haoit of growing mustaches, that period
Of grumbling and kicking and finding fault
should be short We must remember that
in the army particularly, the worth of
man is judged often, not by the good
deeds he does but more by the grumbling
he INDUCES on. Grumbling is merely an
indulgence anyway and in the army it
is more or less of an improbable indulg-
ence. a man grumbles because it's the
easiest thing to do and the harder he
grumbles the more good he thinks he's do
ing himself.
But when everything's going wrong and
it's 'off this detail and onto that one"
and snap into it, hustle up" and nobody
worth While seems to know that you're
working your head off and have bene all
day-when it's like, that, fellows, then's
when we've got to have the CUTS to buckle
down and get under and prove at least
to ourselves that it takes more than this
rotten bad luck we think we've had so far
to make us say quits"
When we went into this game we
hadn't the slightest idea what was ahead
of us. We We're told that we could work
at our trades and that we'd be tickling
pretty French girls under the chin and
slipping Paris wine in a rconth or so. Now
we know differently. Tne only ones who
are working at their trades are the
Jacks-of-al Trades. and it's still whole
lot further to the Boulevarde de Grande
than it is to he Boul Mich, and there's
nothing like furIoughs in sight, nothing
but work, work, work, loads of it, but
again, are we downhearted? No-ooo!
Most emphatically we are not We may
be disguised now and then but Wen get
over it and Wen show whoever wants to
be shown that Company e men are made
of the right stuff; men who have not only
the ability but the willingness to accept

his success in finally breaking into the

CO D HAS NEW
BUGLER

Through a change taking effect this
week Company D loses its popular COM
mander, Capt. J. E. Tompkins, who has
been relieved for service elsewhere
Capt. Thompkins is succeeded by First
lieut.. L. NJ. Hanson.
Musician E. L. Sullivan literally has
string on a new bugler. "Sully'' was
seen leading him by a rope out to the
woods for practice. The dawg was lusty
lungs. You ought to hear him blow"
says "Sully." 1t is expected that the
buglers may have to put bay window
in their tent for the hound to bay
through.
Now that the company has moved back
