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.

In this mechanliUd age is not' the sol equipment of a aI!or. 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.

U.S. CONTROL OF
PRINTPAPER URGED
Federal Trade Commission
Asks Senate to Take
Drastic Action
ARBITRATION A FAILURE
WASHINGTON, June 13.
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

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.
SMALI CROP FACTOR
When It Is considered that tho lowest estl
mates of consumption range from 15.000,000
to 16,000.000 baits It con be seen Just what
Influence a small crop of 12.000,000 bales
will hae on sentiment as well as on the
actual underlying conditions In the trade
That the opinion Is general in trade that
cotton will be difficult to get later on Is
clearly Indicated by the buying by these
Interests recently. The higher prices have
not restrained the activity of tho mills In
covering for their future requirements and
thl buying Is expected to continue.
Just how cotton goods have been ad
vanced In prices may be seen from a can
vass of the wholesale district. One in
stance might bo cited which will gle an
Indication of how finished products have
risen Reference, Is made to "Fruit-of-the-Loom"
muslin It Is only a comparatively
short time ago. two years, when the retailer
could sell this product over hi" counter at
seven cents the yard. Today he Is" forced
to pay sixteen cents the yard for the goods
wholesale, and can only purchase In limited
lots.
Cotton good1! manufacturers In this coun
try hae been busy for somo time, and the
entranco of tho United States In tho world
war has brought them ndttlonal contracts
which they aro now filling and making pre
parations to fill. Theso trade Interests

only they are able 'to purchase tho staple

LIVERPOOL'S INFLUENCE
One of the governing Influences in tht
local advance has been the continuous rise
In Liverpool. 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. TO
Rumors of German buying have bc
heard in some quarters, but these aro donVt
