THE NAVY, BIG OR LITTLE,
IS THE QUESTION
Daily Letter by Frederic J. Haskin

WASHINGTON. April 1S-Aside
from its purely humanitarian as
poets, one of the reasons for the
Conference for the Limitation OF
Armaments, recently concluded in
Washington vas economy. Con
gress has taken the economy factor
so to heart hat 1t is now maintain
ed that if the naval appropriation
bill in it's present form becomes law.
the United States will be in naval
power considerably below the place
it is supposed to hold. for defensive
purposes in the socalled $3.50" ra-
ito.
The basis of the ratio is capital
fighting ships - super-dreadnaughts
and modern battle cruisers. Yet 1t
is elementary that the most powerful
fleet in the world. without the prop
| er trained complement of men Is OF
little or no use as a unit OF defense
or o~ffense. And there, opponents OF
the bill now in congress maintain, is
the weakness and the threat TO the
United States.
Navy Department experts main
tain that to keep the Navy in a
state OF efficiency. at the strength in
ships which is allowed by the four
power treaty, a naval personnel of
no less than $4,000 should be pro-
vided for by legislation. That is the
minimum. and for maximum eff
cheney and to provide for all emer
.eencies the country might face. 12O,-
900 men are required according to
naval experts.
The treaty into which America has
entered allows the United States to
keep eighteen capital ships of mod
ern type. 1t is estimated that with
the $1,000 personnel provided by the
raval bill now before congress, only
thirteen OF these vessels could be
kept in conn mission. The other five
ships woul1 be 'in ordinary" which
means that 200 men would be kept
aboard each one to keep them from
being utterly ruined. The Japanese
Navy. supposed to have but three
ffths of the strength of the Ameri-
can naval forces. will have a per-
sonnet of more than $4,000 men.
Great Britain. limited to the same
number of capital ships as the Unit
ed States. will have a naval per-
sonnet totalling about 104. 900 men.
The ships themselves mean nothing,
nor do the guns, with no n TO OPP
crate them
D~estroyers Hampered
Not only will the men to man the
big ships be lacking if the present
measure becomes law, but the man
ming of auxiliary craft will be inn
paired practically to the same ex-
tent. To operate battleships with ef-
ficiency. destroyers and vessels OF
ether types must be operated with
them. The Navy Department esti-
mates that with the personnel sug-
gested. it will be possible to keep in
commission a naval tonnage OF 7OS.-

wind Does Great Damage

KEASBEY, April 21.-The terrific
wind yesterday caused considerable
damage to wires of the New York
Telephone Company in this section.
The main cable line went down at
3 o'clock over a stretch from St.
Stephens to the school house and
for over an hour it caused much anx-
iety among the people. 4At short
intervals flames would shoot out
from the end of the cable. burning
away a considerable part Of it each
time. Traffic Officer Fred Larsen
was on the scene watching for the
safety of pedestrians and vehicles
until the danger was over.
The damage caused all telephones
here to be put out of order and in
all probability it will take several
days before the line can be fully re-
paired. Temporary repairs were
started by the New York Telephone
Company late yesterday afternoon.
No other serious damage was re-
ported but several sheds and chicken
houses are minus their roofs today.

THE LIONS, CLUB ORGANIZED

Perth Amboy welcomes the organization of a Lions
Club in this city. With such high ideals and sound prin-
ciples it cannot help but play an important part in the civic
life of the community. When prominent citizens band
themselves together, pledged to render service in every way
possible they are bound to make their influence felt in the
advancement of the municipality.
With the organization of the Lions Club Perth Amboy
has two organizations of this type, the Rotary Club having
been formed several months ago and is now in a furnishing
condition. These organizations are very much alike and
EVERYWHERE where they exist in the same city they are in
close cooperation working for the advancement of the
civic welfare. Through their weekly luncheons the mel
are brought in frequent contact with one another to learn
The different views that prevail and through united effort
they are able to get things done.
Perth Amboy is fortunate in having both a Rotary and
4 Lions Club. With the principles of these two organiza-
lions lived up to the city is bound to profit greatly.
