the revolution. In 1872 America was
at the high tide of her commercial
prosperity, the number OF vessels fly.
ling the American flag in foreign wa
tiers was greater than in 1912. In the
war of 1912 our navy took or destroyed
1860 vessels from the british-an al
most unbelievable number.
At the beginning of the civil war our
fleet was at low point N efficiency
and numbers, but vessels were hastily
built and armed ships entered upon

in the successful outcome of the war.
At the end of the war the United

Mrs. Tanning then spoke Of the I'M
prepared condition of this country at
the beginning of the present war and
told of the enormous accomplishment
which has been achieved notwlth-
standing the red tape which has re-
tarded the work. One interesting
thing she told was that Admiral Mahan
head of the war board, wrote number
of years ago book, "The Influence of
Sea Power Upon History" which is
said to have caused the kaiser to SER
iously consider the navy as an I'M
portant factor in war. Germany had
always relied upon her army, but
Kaiser Wilhelm in twenty years made
the German navy second in power and
first in efficiency and all because a
Yankee seaman wrote a book.

have increased from 800 commissioned
ships to 1000, besides the 100 interned
German ships. Secretary Daniels rer

Our Navy is Subject,


Mrs. w. G. Blood gave a history of
the events which inspired Oliver Wen
dali Holmes to write "Old Ironsides,"
and read the poem. Mrs. G. Lloyd Nor
man gave description Of the no gun
battle ships which are destined to rev.
olutionize sea warfare Mrs. G. W.
Tanning read an interesting and very
instructive paper on Our Navy She
gave sketch of the history of the or
lganization OF the u. S. navy in ITS.
She enumerated the different types of
vessels which were first built in
America and designed by American
genius. She said, 1.-THE first war ship
TO move under steam was the Ameri-
can ship Demologos, sometimes called
Fulton, the first built in 1913; the
first electric torpedos were American:
the first submarine to do effective war
work was American; the first turret
ship, the Monitor, was American: the
hrst warship to use a screw propeller
was the Princeton, an American: the
naval telescope-sight was American.
The American battleship today is the
finest and most powerful vessel of her
class in the world. The American sea
man and gunner have always excelled
No ships have been better handled
than the American; no naval battles
have been better or more skillfully and
daringly fought than have ours; no
exploits in history surpass those OF
John Paul Jones, John Barry Edward
Preble, Stephen Decater Oliver Haz-
ard, Perry, Hobson and others. Ameri-
ca has failed, however. in the oper-
ations, and in handling the navy as a
whole we have not excelled, although
no better individual fleet leaders ap-
pear in history than David Glasgow,
Farragut and George Dewey. We have
failed to have carefully outlined
naval policy"
She spoke of the complexity of
fleet which includes many kinds of
vessels, as dreadnoughts. battle cruis-
ers,. destroyers, submarines, GOLFERS,
tenders, hospital ships, scouts, supply
ships, etc. These diverse vessels are
by various ranks of commits
toned officers, pay corps, medical
corps, marine corps, and many others.
While the United States has never had
a strong navy yet she has won on the
sea in every war she has engaged in.
In the revolutionary war 500 British
vessels were captured, the Yankee
cruisers making captures in the Eng
fish harbors.

A Real Tempest.

The intelligence reaches this
office that few of the alleged
prominent citizens of Holbrook
held an indignation meeting last
Tuesday, directed at the head of
the child-like and bland editor,
and the Winslow Mail, because
our last issue contained an edi-
torial to the effect that the yell
low streaked slackers of the
county had all organized to de-
feat County Attorney Larson, a
democratic candidate. We un-
derstand they "resolooted" to
take up with the state council of
defense the matter of having the
Wlnslow Mail suppressed as an
enemy of good government, and
if that fails they will ask the
postofice department to deny the
postal service to the paper.
For the information of these
over enthusiastic misguided citi-
zens the editor will be excused
for personal illusions. The edi-
tor has two sons in the service,
and the Winslow Mail family own
more Liberty bonds and war GER
tificates than perhaps many of
these agitators. This gives us a
right to talk about slackers, and
if our comments along that line
seem to strike home there will
be no objection on our part if
they want to meet in public to
express their grievances.

war they'll have to stop it. There
is a boy lieutenant, named Luke,
over there who has shot down
eleven big military balloons and
two airplanes in a week. Luke
got tired of chasing all the way
from our lines after the Boche: so
he adopted a new idea of roost-
ing all night on the German side
SO he would be on hand in the
early morning to shoot them as
they started up. On one occa-
sion he shot down a German Fox
ker and wasn't sure about the
facts, so he came down and in
terviewed the fallen German Of

got their statement S and flew
