the military barracks, acting mayor
Of the town, and sometimes minister
Of the gospel. You could not enter or
leave the port by land or sea, you
could not send a cable or a letter
through the mail IL he said no. Proc
lamations with his rank and the six
initials flowing out like tail OF a
kite were pasted up all over the walls
OF the place. He could marry people
or divorce 'em or shoot 'em or give
them ten years in jail-anything.
Admiral Bayly was known to be an
anti-Irish bigot when they sent him
to Queenstown. Another bigot as well
as military failure was later sent to

Says Assistant Secretary
in Speech.

NEW YORK, Feb. IAN American
navy second to none in the world.
even though that would mean the
expending OF s1,0oo,0 100000 a year
was advocated in an address before
the Brooklyn chamber OF commerce
by Assistant Secretary OF the Navy
Franklin ID. Roosevelt
I'VE must have navy equal to any
in the world" said Mr.. Roosevelt
This Is rendered necessary by our
geographical position and our enor-
nous coast lines. Unlike an army
which can be trained In year, the
principal ships OF war cannot be
built after war has been declared,
unless II lasts for years.
"The United States is likely to fnd
that the protection OF commerce will
continue to require a large navy. We
are now, thanks to the elimination of
Germany, the second naval powey.
