MORE than twenty years have passed since I was graduated from Annnpolls, and In that time a new world has been born and a new navy. I know the differ ace between ft bowline and a blackwall hitch; I could still lash n hammock with vn passable turns. Deep within mo, so deep that It can never bo eradlcatf I, Is th spirit of the navy. I still belong to ltj I always shall and this Is my chief smWWWWWmmSTwi W. WINSTON CHURCHILL, too strongly be emphasized that this criticism docs not apply to the personnel; and the best proof of it is that some years ago Britain, trhose navy from time Immemorial has been her greatest prido, abandoned her old aystem of training and virtually adopted ours. Her officers had been struck by the all-around efficiency of the graduates of our Naval Academy, and a British officer of high rank visited Annapolis and subsequently recommended the system to his Admiralty. Among certain American minds tho fiction undoubtedly exists that naval officers do very little work. All that Is required of them Is to look handsome and travfl around the world, enjoying themselves. When we go aboard a battleship for lunch or dinner the life appears luxurious Indeed. There is tho comfortable wardroom with Is silver sen-Ice given by tho Stato after which the ship is named, the quiet Filipino sen-ants in white, the gay talk and laughter. Tho young man sitting next you does not tell you. perhaps, that he left his bunk at four that day for the morning watch, supervised tho cleaning of a hip more complicated than a modern metropolitan hotel; and, If at sea, has been responsible for her position and safety; and, after his rolls and coffee, he has mas tered his division, conducted the drill of the day, talkedo his men and seen to their Individual needs, and will presently, after your departure, return to another watch. And In his few leisure hours, more likely than not, ho will be studying some favorite phase of his profession. ' He shows you about, and, If you are a woman, you may be struck by tho fact that the galley that prepares food for a thousand men is as clean ns your own kitchen. You ctn see your face in the brass "bright work" of tho guns and fittings, of which the first lieutenant, th housekeeper of tho huge craft, Is secretly so proud. And you would like to buy your meat In such a sanitary butcher shop, or have your .clothes washed In the laundry. If you are a man, you will perhaps be interested and Impressed by various devices, simple or complicated, that have tremendously increased tho efficiency of our service. Hero Is a little instrument, for instance, by which ono can tell at a glanco the distance of a warship at sea, enemy or friend a stadlmeter, It Is called; here, on the huge forward turret, Is a range-finder that will stand an lncredlblo amount of knocking about; or else a gun rigged with a queer contrivance that has aided In making our target practice the most accurate in the world. All of these and many more that might be mentioned, aro the inventions of our naval officers, the results of their studies during hours snatched when off duty, and which have '.een copied, as far as possible, by other services. In tho ship's library are tho technical books they have written. Competition Is tho rule or rather that finer clement in democracy which is "Jtpressed by tho word emulation. These aro freo offerings to the nation. But In he sen-Ice, from tho tlmo you leave Annapolis to step aboard a quarterdeck, you aro ratched by your fellow officers, superiors and equals. The man who works and roves himself is tho man on whom responsibility is thrust, to whom honor is given. HOW ONE YOUNG MAN WILL MAKE HIS WAY Late one evening after we had como to anchor I was sitting in the cabin with he captain of the battleship when a lieutenant appeared in tho doorway. He wore Jlue dugarees, his youthful face was flushed and perspiring from the heat In tho engine and boiler rooms, he had been hard at work for thirteen hours training mglne drivers, water tenders and firemen. Presently he remarked, casually, that Jiere was a knock In one of the pistons of the port engine. It was not serious, but ne meant to take It out that night. l'Then you're not going ashore?" asked the captain. He shook his head. "It isn't a good thing for these new men to be listening to a thing like that," he said. When we weighed anchor at 6 o'clock tho next morning tho knock was out of the piston. "If that youngster doesn't make his way in tho service It won't be my fault," said the captain to me. "His wife's ashore now, waltlngfor him, and he hasn't seen her more than four times since they were married, six months ago." I remember tho day I first saw the fleet, stretching away in what seemed an endless line across waters, silvery under the mist. At the head of the line, swinging to the tide, were the new fighting shlps.gray and grim nnd beautiful In tho morning light. The Pennsylvania and Arizona,' the New York and Texas with their long, sheer decks, the Oklahoma and Nevada with their raised high forecastles and high flghtlng turrets. And from their taffralls, stirring to the breeze, are tho white and crimson bars of the flag that has known many battles, yet is still tho gentle emblem of peace and hope. These modern monsters of destruction from which It flies have the grace of a greyhound. Twelve are already afloat I wish there were more. And after them, In a long winding column that follows tho channel, nre the older ships, pre dreadnoughts of the bulldog type, still useful, but no match for tho moderns; the long cruisers, and a huge collier that dwarfs them nil. On tho battleships I am greeted by old friends, many of whom I havo not seen If since they were miasnipmen. Though they wear now trio gold bars of commanders, $ they havo not changed; authority has not spoiled them. But the fleet has chanced. I left It In the days of tho White Squadron those dainty ships which havo grown almost as obsolete as the clipper. A few days later I caught sight of ono of them finding through the fleet; sho is painted a buslness-llko gray, her stern Is altered for mine-laying; onco tho pride of the navy, she Is content to Berve now like so many of our gallant retired officers, in a humble capacity. Such is the spirit of tho navy. The most striking change I see in the navy Is a change from age to compar ative youth. It Is "becoming a youthful service, with all the qualities of youth, en thusiasm, resourcefulness, ambition, an Instant willingness to accept responsibility, to take chances when risk Is necessary. Not so many years ago the captain of that craft on which I was a guest was a man of Ave, and fifty. One cruise as captain, another, perhaps, as rear admiral (If one wero fortunate) and then retirement, the Army and Navy Club In Washington, reminiscences. Age Is cautious, and with few opportunities one cannot afford to make mistakes; there ,1s but small Incentive for ambition. But my captain, whose cabin I shared, is forty-four, with many cruises ahead of him and a chance to make a name for himself. It is his first battleship, and he handles the huge, unwieldy craft like a yacht or an automobile. As watch and division officer, as navigator, as aid to a flag officer he has studied battleships during his professional career In anticipation of such a command. He knows the futility ef. reversing turbines, he understands what her compound engines can do, how soon " he can bring her to a stop from full speed. He measures her head reach, and calls It to the attention of her young officers; he could turn her around In i pond, it the pond were deep enough; and when the fleet comes to rest ho steers her up the channel within a biscuit's toss of her slstrr leviathans and drops his anchor precisely in the berth assigned to him, Where the ruled lines In his chart intersect. And only iwo weeks have passed since first he stepped aboard her quarterdeck at a navy yard that need not be mentioned. Without lights, with two other battle- hips In his wake and a destroyer on either beam, he put to sea, steaming through the long night to join, late' the next day, the main body of the fleet at their safe MHidezvous.

Than the officers of our navy no better Ameri cans exist. In that personnel aro represented all parts of the country, all elements, of our population. At Annapolis they have undergone four years of what Is perhaps tho stlffcst mental and physical training to be had in the United States, If not in the world. I know of what I write. "Sink or swim" Is the motto of Annapolis, and only the strongest swim. Only tho strongest are chosen In the first place. I am not engaged, in such a grave season as the present, in flinging about bou quets, but It is a pleasure as well as a duty to praise where praise Is due.

More than halt her enlisted force was composed of raw recruits, national volunteer and young farmers, clerks and mechanics who had passed, like ducks through a kitchen, through the Chicago station, to arrlvo aboard ship supplied with blankets and little else. Thoso blankets, by tho way, were as varied in hue as Joseph's coat, and when tho bedding was spread out to air across the foc'sle the ship resembled a rainbow. They wero the gifts of charitable ladles in tho metropolis of tho Middle West Ordinarily our young men aro hardened and prepared for service by spondlng six months In a naval training station, such as that at Newport or Norfolk. The report of the Secretary of tho Navy of December 1, 1916, declares that: "Our naval legislation In the post has often been criticized as lopsided and unbal anced material provisions being unaccompanlod by the necessary personnel pro visions. This criticism does not apply to tho legislation of this year (1916)." But It was not until 1917, when the prospect of our entranco Into tho war became certain, that the number of enlistments began perceptibly to grow; and now the navy has suddenly been called upon to swallpw, constrictor-like, moro than on and a half times as many men as It contained before the declaration of war. Sixty thousand, roughly speaking, must now assimilate 90,000 more, making a total of 150,000. The new Federal merchant marino must be supplied with gun crows, with engine drivers and firemen, while every available flghtlng ship must have her com plement, must be ready for action. The stupendous task of training these new rcrutts has fallen on tho shoulders of tho officers, and their rcsponso has been magnificent. This work is going forward In the battleship fleet. On my visit to the fleet I talked with many officers on many ships, and I heard no word of grumbling or complaint. They aro setting their hands courageously to tho task confronting them, and they, at least, realize that wo aro face to face with a desperate and costly war, tho responsibility of which now rests mainly with tho American republic.

The first step toward the practical seizure by the Federal Government of all news print paper mills In the United States and the appointment of a paper dictator to con trol supplies was taken today when the Federal Trade Commission recommended to the Senate! That all mills producing and all agen cies distributing print paper nnd mechan ical and chemical pulp In the United States be operated en Government ac count; that these products be pooled In the hands of a Government agency nnd equitably distributed at a price based upon cost of production and distribution, plus a fair profit per ton. That pursuant thereto somo Federal agency be empowered and directed to assume tho supervision and control there of during the pendenry of tho war. That, by reason of tho fact that ap proximately 76 per cent of the production of news print paper In Canada comes Into tho United States proper action be taken to secure tno ro-opcratlon of the f'ana dlsn Government In tho creation of a similar governmental agency for the same function, which Bhall bo clothed with power and authority to act Jointly with tho governmental agency of the United States for the protection of the consumers and manufacturers of print paper and the public of the United States and Can ada. That In case the Canadian Government shall not Join in such a co-operative en terprise, then importation of paper and mechanical and chemical pulp Into tho United States shall b made only on Government account to or through the Federal agency charged with such super vision and distribution PRICE-FIXINO SCHEME FAILS In a letter to the President of the Senate today the commission, which has been ln estlgatlng the news-print paper situation for more than a year, states that these ex ceptional harsh measures must be adopted as war expedients because of the failure of th, commission by arbitration to settle tho long-standing controversy between news paper publishers and manufacturers of print paper The commission frankly announces com plete failure of the scheme under which It sought to fix prices. It states that four of tho manufacturers signatory to the price-Axing agreement havo been Indicted by a Federal Orand Jury for tho Southern District of New York In anti-trust proceed ings brought by the Department of Justice. Upon Indictment theso manufacturers re scinded their participation In tho arbitra tion agreement It has generally been un derstood In Washington that the manu facturers considered tho Government had broken faith in seeking tho Indictments when the arbitration agreement had been reached. In Us letter tho commission states that In 1916 news-print paper consumption amounted to 1.775,000 net tons, valued at moro than J70.000.000. At prevailing prices, the commission says, this paper would cost consumers $105,000,000, an In crease of 135,000,000, or 50 percent. Tho commission reports that tho Increase In tho cost of manufacture amounts to only S10 per ton, giving half of tho $35,000,000 prlco Increase to the manufacturers as additional profits. Under the plan for Government opera tion, the commission says prices to pub lishers would be basod on fair costs of production and distribution and a reason, able profit. The commission says a similar plan has worked successfully In England and If put Into operation here will Increase production and diminish cost to consumers n.ll, Spruce nsmrmfmtmMrtKiCUSKiMj LLW'J n . -" ' ' ' "w. . w w If I a 'JiX 1 1 I f w v3 I C0TT0NATHIGHEST FIGURE SINCE 1871 25-Cent Mark Has Been Reached and Staple May Yet Reach 30 Cents SHORT CROP BIG FACTOR Bctcial Dltpalck to tht Evrnlno Ltiaer NEW YORK, June 1J. Bulls, who for months have been pre dicting 25-cent cotton, can now assume the attitude of "I told you so." The new high point might be emphasized by pointing out that It Is the best figure for tho staple since 187f. It is eleven cents, the pound over the low level of this year and compares with a prlco of between P.va and six cents tho pound which tho staple brought during the period when the local cotton exchange was closed after tho be ginning of tho European conflict In 19H. There has been some talk of possible cur tailment of local operation to prevent specu lation, but some of the most Influential members of the jexchango asert there Is les speculation In cotton today than over beforo in Its history. The best firms aro demanding what aro termed prohibitive marines, and this has eliminated to a great extent any possibility of speculation on an cxtensUe scale. The leading factors governing the pres ent conditions nre the iinfaorable weather thus far In thn growing sections of this country, which has put tho crop so far be hind that it Is doubted by tho best students If a crop of as much as 12,000,000 bales can bo picked, and the abnormally largo demand from trade Interests, both domestic nnd .foreign.

The higher prices have not restrained the activity of tho mills In covering for their future requirements and thl buying Is expected to continue.

Private cables received ai most every day state that there has been trade buying abroad with a pronounce scarcity ot contracts. This is believed in be due to the fact that shipments of th staple from this side have fallen off becauc? of the lack of bottoms, nnd some of th vessels which have been carrying the stani! to England have been sunk by German auh marines, thus removing additional cot from the consumption markets.
