CUTTING OUR NAVAL RATIO.

"Men fight, not ships" said the Late Admiral
Lord Fisher, the greatest naval man of his day.
If the reminder was needed in England, it is need
ed much more in the United States. The Brit
ish have been compelled to think of their navy and
to keep it efficient as a matter of vital import
ance to their safety. But Americans have given
little thought for a generation to naval or marine
affairs convinced that war was a misfortune
with which we need not seriously concern our
selves Civilian faIacies as to defense therefore
have more influence in this country than in Eng
land, and one of these is that which Lord Fisher
corrects in the maxim quoted. We have dis
position to think that we can invent mechanical
devices to win wars. We assume that if we build
a certain number of battIeships we have a real
naval defense We think ships fight. We do
not stop to realize that ships do not fight, but,
as the old naval phrase goes, ''are fought" John
Paul Jones' ship did not fight. Jones fought his
ship. Perry, Decatur, Farragut, Dewey fought
their ships.
"Of course" says the American civilian when
it is put that way, "of course know ship must
be fought by men," But while he says this a con-
gresham rises and proposes to cut our naval
personnel so that our ships lack the men to fight
them.
We have just entered INTO an agreement 10 holO
our ships to a certain ratio But Congressman
Kelley of Michigan proposes such a reduction OF
naval personnel that this ratio is reduced from
to 2, measured by actual efficiency and the
maxim that "men fight, not ships"
Congress should realize that the limitation OF
the British and japanese navies makes it certain
that both these powers viii see that their mini
mum is a highly efficient force. What is saved
by the iunking of old ships and the cessation of
costly new building will be turned so far as is
necessary to making their fleets 100 per cent eff
ficient If we, on the other hand, proceed to cut
our naval personnel so that the ships we are per-
mitted are undermanned' and some Of them laid
up for lack Of crews, we have altered the ratio
of our naval power by our own act and to our own
serious disadvantage Our delegation has pro-
cured the acceptance Of a ratio of strength rep
resented by 5-5-3. But if our fleet is deprived OF
sufficient men our strength will no longer be rep
resented by 5, but by some lesser figure. Cap
tain Knox estimates that Congressman Kelley''
proposed cut would reduce it to g. or less thar

What more could 1 do?"
Colonel Nolan accused the COVER
nor with having broken faiCh with
COnley in that he had promised the
former warden a hearing before the
prison commission and that he should
have chance to explain the charges
against him before they were made
public. Governor Dixon retorted
that he had invited both Colonel No
Ian and Conley to appear before Mac
Donald and make any explanation
they desired.
The governor read into the records
a telegram he had just received from
w. A. Clark, Jr., dated Los Angeles.
The Bozeman courier., 1921-12-28

The message follows:
"Decency and a just regard to an
impartial decision commends me to
request that you retoire from the at
titude you have taken regarding for
mer Warden Conley, otherwise you
are politically a back number"
Upon the reading Of the MESSAGE S
Colonel Nolan challenged the gov
ernor to also read into the records a
letter which he had received some
time ago from Mr.. Clark. This the
governor did not DO, stating that the
letter was written under clrcum-
stances which were not creditable to
the writer. The meeting then ad-
iourned with no action having been
taken by the board.

with little difficulty. The second one,
however, proved to be a tartar and
fought forty-five minutes.
One end of the rope to which he
was hooked was fastened to piling
on the pier. The shark gave a mighty
tug, snapped the line and headed for
the Gulf, with Thornton hanging on.
Thornton went overheard and after
being towed hundred yards at ex-

CONVTCTS FROM FEDERAL
COURT TO WORK ROADS

Jacksonville, April 1S.-Prisoners
sentenced by Federal court no longer
will be permitted to. take life easy in
their cells, but will be put to work
on county roads and county farms as
the result of ruling by United States
Attorney Herbert S. Phillips. The
ruling was contained in a letter ad-
dressed to Chairman Clark of the Du-
wal County Board of Commissioners
in reply to one sent to Mr. Phillips in
which Chairman Clark asked if the
county was allowed to work federal
prisoners. Mr.. Phillips letter follows:
Under the law governing federal
prisoners sentenced in the fderal court
to serve terms in the county jail of
Duval county, such prisoners are sub
iect to the same treatment as county
prisoners In other words, you may
work the federal prisoners convicted
and sentenced to serve Jail terms
along with county prisoners on the
public highways or have them do any
other public work that county prison
ers are employed upon
Heretofore it has been the custom
to permit federal prisoners sentenced
to jail terms to serve their entire time
in Jail and in frequent cases federal
prisoners have received terms amount
ing to more than one year of sucn
confinement.

 No paragrapher has yet been mean enough to refer to the girls who wear their hair bobbed as bobcats, but we'll wager some of their dear CD friends have.
 The wife of a travelling man just cannot see how other wives stand it to have their husbands bothering around so much. A self-made man often is as much of freak as some of the self-made hats the women wear.
