OUR TRIUMPHANT NAVY
by Ensign Mas

The sea has at all times appeale,
strongly to the imagination of men an,
boys of spirit. The life of q sailor
particularly that of a Navy sailor
holds more romance. more opportun
tiles for adventures and more chances
OF visiting foreign countries. with eve
changing scenes. than any other oc
cupation. together with the value of Q
trade learned.
The call for men is just as strong
as aver and at no time in the history
of the Navy were chances of quick pro.
motion better than today.
The Navy OF the United States Ia
proud Of its long line of high tradi-
TONS The deeds Of Navy men from
John Paul Jones and Stephen Decatur
down to George Dewey and the heroes
OF the present war are q never ending
source of inspiration to the gallant
men who wear the Navy blue.
The silent Navy" has manfully
done its part during the war which is
almost over.
The Country should be proud 10
realize that In Congress are statesmen
who are keenly awake to the problems
OF the day. These men have learned
the cost Of unprepardness. Is there
any citizen of this broad land. SC lost
to all ideals OF national pride and
honor, as to think we should speak but
softly and carry no assurance as ia
our future peace and happiness?
One can hardly realize how very i'm.
portant the Navy was to the successful
prosecution OF the plans for winning
the war. The Navy was ON the job
from the 4th Of May 1917 until today
and long after our present emergency
Army is.a thing Of the past. the Navy
will be "over there" bringing back the
last reminders of the great war. The
Navy at the beginning va small but
man for man and u for gun 1t was
the equal or any other Navy.
There are q few men who believe
that the time will never come when
the Nations CT the world will cease to
bull Navies. Certainly not in our
time or in our children's time. will the
fighting ships and lighting sailors be
sent to the scrap-heap. The dove Of
Peace" can rest Just as peacefully on
the muxsle Of . sixteen-inch breech
loading rifle as he can on . pole ny.
ing the white nag of . nghtless Navy
Therefore we must have . Navy
equaIled by no other. and we must
have men Of spirit and ambition ia
man our ships.
The time has passed when men Of
bad character or habits can enlist,
The Navy Is : service o. high ideals
and its great record Of duty Is xscrib-
Cd to hte high standard set for ia
onlcers and men. and this standard
