A | Navy must have naval bases; we have not a single one now. A navy | should have a general staff. The American Navy has never had such! a head. It needs men to man its ships; under President Taft we had the dangerous custom of having a considerable portion of our fleet tied up, rotting at the wharves, because | Congress had refused to provide an! adequate force. We had only a hand- ful of dreadnoughts; not a- single battle cruiser, which have won the only important sea engagements fought in the present war. We had only a few submarines. In other auxiliary vessels--scout cruisers, des- troyers, hospital ships--our navy was ridiculously inadequate. The Taft administration had done little for the navy. ; * \ "In 1904, the British navy pre-; sented certain 'resemblances to the | American fleet of the present time. For a generation inefficiency ruled in; nearly every branch of the service. | English politicians. had fed the peo-| ple with splendid stories about the, mistress of the seas. The navy was: ornamental, a comfortable nesting place for second sons and social fav- orites, Its fighting strength, how-| ever, was a consideration that was| little vegarded | "Then in 1904, a great naval gen-| ius, Sir John Fisher, became First Sca Lord. With a few sledge-ham- | mer blows he destroyed its antiquat- | ed organization, sent about 140 use-| less vessels to the scrap-heap, made, the North Sea the main headquar- ters of the fighting ships instead of, the Mediterranean, and instituted, two new types of war vessels, the, dreadnought an® the battle cruiser. | He thus modernized, not only the' British navy;-but every other mavy.! England is now reaping the fruits of Lord Fisher's labors. The historian will point to his reforms of 1904 as, the forces that saved the British Em- | pire. The United States should¥pro- fit from this experience. Our navy; needs the inspiration of a Fisher." | A DIED. WRIGHT--Killed in action, April 9th, 1917, Gr. M. G. Wright, son of Mrs. Wm.
