in which case 1t will be superior to
that of United States In number OF

not the greatest mercantile fleets of
all nations, one that will enter the
ports of the world in competition for
trade. The friendly" competition
for supremacy in this respect Is at
any time likely to cause international
complications, and the German ex-
preston: He that thinks this is the
last war Is a fool" Is fundamentally
sound. Therefore, as means OF IN
suring a respect that will protect the
country from a nation that openly
adopts such a principle. the United
States Navy with its ships must be pre-
served.
Economy requires a large personnel.
BY reason of war construction and
war purchase of ships of all classes
the fleets Of the Navy have increased
hugely. and their preservation will re-
quire all the men that the Senate
amendment proposes in the perma-
nent organization.
Only heroic efforts of officers and
men-deserving praise in degree with
those who have fought on the de-
stroyers and stood off submarines at
lacking merchantmen-have brought
the efficiency of the fleet to its old
standard.
large permanent personnel will be
considerable in money. but incon-
siderable as a peace insurance. 1t
will be more reliable than all the
, peace twaddle that has ever soothed
the Teuton ear.

the economical maintenance of the

There is q hard condition in tho
Navy for officers retired with the rank
below that Of rear
Retired Naval admiral. Under the
law on returning to
VWce1s' the service they
come In, at the rank they beld on
leaving. When q man has been out
of the service and won success in civil
life 1t is trying enough to come back
and find himself behind all the mem
bers Of his class, but 1t Is enough to
make him peeved to be put at i'm
portant work, and left with the pay
of an ensign. A case in point is that
of an officer retired as an ensign and
earning as . civilian an ensign's pay
every six weeks. He cannot be ad-
vanced in rank. although rendering
the service Of a much higher grade
than the one he held.
The new naval appropriation bill
has a provision that permits him to
cradle reason it limits the temporary
promotion of retired officers to those
below the rank Of lieutenant COM
mander. Hence retired officers OF that
rank. II the pending act is not
amended before it's passage. must
continue without hope of even tenn
porary promotion. and the govern
ment will continue to accept their
service without giving them the pa.
and emoluments that go to the officer
of q grade usually performing the
class Of work some Of these men are
doing.
Tho principle that governs the Navy
in tho matter of promotions Is the
very sound one that rank Is not to
be given as a matter Of personal re-
ward. but for the purpose Of facili-
tating command and administration
And the objection appears to have
arisen that officers Of higher rank
would not be permitted to retire II
they were fully equipped for all
round naval duty and some add the
illogical conclusion that. il they are
not capable Of doing all the duties.
the retired officer should not hold the
higher commission even temporarily.
no matter how efficiently he performs
some Of the duties Of that grade.
Tho other side is that the govern
ment ayails itself of the administra-
tive ability of these officers for duty
usually performed by those Of higher
rank, and gives them neither the
rank nor a chance for advancement.
1t would, therefore. seem that the
bill might be modified SO as to au-
thorize the President, when properly
advised by q naval board. to reward
such q retired officer with advanced
rank and the pay and emoluments 1t

DREADED ENEMY OF AVIATOR
Most Expert Altman, Caught in Fog,
Is Practically at Mercy Of
Circumstances.

Nothing connected with the history
of aviation is more remarkable than
the way in which the weather difficult
ties and dangers of a few years ago
have been reduced to the level of
minor inconvenience by the increased
skill of aviators and especially by I'M
provements in airplanes. II is hardly
an exaggeration TO say that at the
present time the only serious outstand-
ing meteorological problem of the avn
ator Is fog.
There is no means of keeping ones
bearings when flying in or over a
fog, and the same is, of course, true
of low-lying clouds. The compass
tells which way the machine is point
ing at any moment, but not the d.
rection in which 1t is flying, except
when travelling exactly with or
against the wind. There are no land
marks in the air. Even more serious
is the problem of landing In a fog.
The chances are always. considerable
of striking dangerous obstacles, such
as trees, DuiiulnSS, vi teieSruph WIVES
or of alighting in bodies of water,
swamps, etc. Moreover. as n vet
eran flyer has stated, "what Is dis
tressing to the airmen in fog Is the
impossibility of knowing whether he
be slightly climbing or slightly de-
scending full tilt into hills, trees or
houses without time to save the stu
ation."

WAS GIFT TO QUEEN VICTORIA
First Pekingese Dog Brought to Gu.

press of China.

P~ekingese dogs have been known to
the western world little more than
half a century. = During the leoting of
the imperial palace at Peking, an Eng
fish soldier picked up a dog belong
ing to the empress. Her attendants
attacked the Tommy en- masse. He
suggested that the dog be sent as a
gift from the empress to Queen Vic
toria.
The plan was agreed to and the
dog was sent to Buckingham palace.
where he was known as Looty. Other
dogs took exception to his appear
anc and made him wish he were back
In China. When the prince and
princess of Wales returned from q
trip to the continent, the princess per-
suaded the queen to let her take him
to her home at S~andringham. Tho
princess thought Looty's loneliness
should be ended, since he couldn't
make friends with any English dog.
so she sent to China for a mate of
his W kind.
The fad started by the princess was
taken up by London society and
the breeding Of Pekingese dogs be-
came SO popular that London dog
shows have sometimes been devoted
exclusively to the new type.
