u. S. NAVY SECOND AGAIN
From the Scientific American.

We are told by the secretary of the navy that practically every
ship in our navy is in commission. 1t was shown in March, 1917. that
in dreadnoughts we had II in commission to Germany % (this is as.
Stunning that her statements of losses and the Jutland fight We're true
"a very doubtful possibility that we have % pre-dreadnoughts to
Germany ~. and that Germany had also five battle cruisers.
Oar -pre-dreadnaughts are greatly superior to those of Ger
many, for the total energy of our main ornaments in 3:S77OOO foot
tons as against 100000 fcot-tons. Furthermore, our drcadnaughts
average 25 per cent greater displacement per ship, and it is fair to
assume that, ship fer ship, ours are superior III offensive and defen-
sve power TO those of the enemy, Personally, the writer is convinced
that in gunnery. especially at the longer ranges, our ships would com
pletely outnatch the Germans.
But Germany is not building capital ships, nor can she under
take any for the rest of the war. The United States on the other
hand, when war was declared, not only had under construction five
supcrdreadnaughts OF $4,000 tons ships superior in every respect
to the latest German ships, each carrying IA to 1Sinch armor and a
battery OF 12 l4-inch, 5ocalbcr guns but plans We're drawn and APP
preparations granted for four ships of $4,000 tons, carrying eight
l6inch gums. and four huge ships Nhc biggest yet planned in any
work had started on a program of six 30 knot, 35OOOton battl,
For military reasons nothing AN be said about the speed with
which this great addition to our first fighting line is being pushed to
completion, but the scale upon which ~ yards, public and private
have been enlarged, and the size of naval appropriations, must con
vince the enemy (hi1nself, because of other crushing burdens, unable
to carry on capital ship ronstruction), that we are in a position, if we
SO wish, to add to oMr feet of dreadnauglt battle ships another one
equal in numbers and considerably greater in fighting power, to say
nothing of six battle cruisers of far greater speed and power than
the five possessed by Germany.
With the completion of our new fleet all of it authorized be
fore the declaration of war was nadc-we shall possess % dread
uaught's to Germany %, six battle cruisers to her five. and a de
stroyer fleet that will greatly outmatch hers in numbers, size anc
fighting power. Then shall we regain our former position as secont
naval power.

hand, are denied an extended facility of
expression by reason of the fact that they
do not write legibly. often times the very
nature of their training and employ mett
prevent the skilled use OF the pen or pen
ell in writing.
For instance. Observation-Disclosures,
mechanical and free hand-are usually
illegible writer's because the hand for
freedom I'm drawing with a pen or pencil
is in another position from that of free
Com in ordinary writing.
In other words Il free hand in drawing
is y crarnpel hand for writing.
The same is true of the finest mechanics
say watch tool makers, and for about
the same reason as in the ease of The
craftsman.
The most skilled craftsman I over knew.
one who could draw all architecture
forms and compositions with absolute
abandon and freedom wrote AN absolutely
ille2ible hand. he could not compose II
letter. he had no facility Of expression.
Simply because he could not write.
Take the farmer who may be ever 50
skilled in soil and animal culture and ever
SO well schoolel i'm the matter of general
, great facility from him in the use of The
pen or pencil.
Any OF these could develop the use OF
the Typewriter in a two finger way, which
/ is about the technique of the average
newspaper man or telegraph operator.
This gives more speed. facility Of cx-
preston and legibility than they coul1
get with y pen or pencil.
