Moreover, though it is criminal for a nation dm to prepare for war. so that it may escape the dreadful consequences of being defeated iu war. yet it mutt alaaya be remembered that even to be defeated lu war may be far better than not to have fought at all. As has been well aud finely said, a beaten nation is ti't necessarily a disgraced nation: but the nation or man is disgraced if tha obligation to defend right is shirked. We should as a nation do everything In our power for the cause of honorable peace. It ta morally aa for a nation to commit a wrong upon another nation, strong or weak, ss for an individual thus to wrong his fellows. We should do si) in our power to hasten the day when there shall be peace among' the nations a peace based upon justice and not upon cowardly submission to We can accomplish a good wrong. deal in this direction, but we can nut accomplish everything, and the penalty of attempting to do too much would almost inevitably be to du worse than nothing; for it must be remembered that fantastic extremists are not In reality leaders of the causes which thev espouse, but are ordinarily those who do moat to hamper the real leaders of the cause and to damage the cause Itself. As yet there Is no likelihood of estahlbhiug any kind of international power, of whatever sort, which can effectively check wrongdoing, and in these circumstances it would be both a foolish and an evil thing for a great and free nation to deprive itself of thepower to protect lta own rights and even tn exceptional cases to stand up for the rights of others. Nothing would more promote iniquity, nothing would further defer the reign upon earth of pence and righteousness, than for the free and enlightened people which, though with much stumbling and mkny shortcomings, nevertheless strive toward justice, deliberately to render themselves powerless while leaving every despotism and barbarism armed and able to work their wicked will. The chance for the settlement of disputes peacefully, by arbitration, now depends mainly upon the possession to do right n by tbe nations t of sufficient armed strength to make their purpose effective. The Navy and Army. The United States navy la the surest guarantor of peace which this country possesses. It Is earnestly to be wished that we would profit fay tbe teachings of history In this matter. A strong and wise people will study lta own failure no less than lta triumphs, for there is wisdom to be learned from tho atudy of both, of the mistake na well aa of the success. For this purpose nothing could be more instructive then n national study of the war of 1812, aa It Is told, for Instance, Thera wee only by Captain Mahan. one way in which that war could have been avoided. If during the preceding twelve years n navy relatively as strong as thnt which this country now has bad been built up, and aa army provided relatively ts good as that which the country now bus. there never would have been the slightest necessity of fighting the war; and If tbe necessity bad arisen the war would under such clrcumatanrea have ended with our speedy and overwhelming triumph. Bnt our people during those twelve years refused to make any preitaraikmi whatever, regarding either the army or the navy. They saved n million or two of dollars hy ao doing; and In mare money paid n hundredfold for each million they thus saved during the three years of war whioh followed a war which brought untold Buffering upon our people, which at one time threatened the gravest national disaster, sad which, in spite of the necessity of waging It, resulted merely in what was in effect a drawn battle, while the balance of defeat and triumph was almost even. I do not nek that we continue to Increase our navy. I aak merely that It be maintained at its present strength; and this can be done only if we replace tbe obsolete and outworn ahlpa by new and good ones, the equals of any afloat in any navy. To atop building ships for one year mean that for that year the nary goes back, instead nf forward. The old battle ship Texas, for instance, would now fa? of little service In a stand-u- p fight with a powerful adversary. The old double-turrmonitors have outworn their usefulness. while It waa a waste of money to monbuild the modern single-turre- t itors. AH these ahlpa ehonld be replaced by others; and this can be done program of providing by n for the building each year of at least s battle ship equal in slse one and speed to any that any nation Is at the time building; the armament presumably to consist of aa large n number as possible of very heavy guna of one caliber, together with smaller guns to repel torpedo attack; while there should he heavy armor, turbine engines, and In short, every modern device. Of course, from time to time, cruiser, colliers, torpedohoat destroyers or torpedc boats, will have tn be built also. All this, he it remembered, would not Increase our navy, but would merely keep It at lta present strength. Equally of course the ships will be absolutely useless if the men atmard them are not ao trained that they can get the best possible service out of the formidable bnt delicate and complicated mechanisms intrusted to their care. The marksmanship of our men has ao Improved during the last fivs years that 1 deem It within bound to say that the nary la more than twice a efficient, ship for ship aa half a decade ego.

In both the army and navy there Is argent need that everything possible should he done ta maintain the bicheat standard for the personnel, silks aa regard the officers and the enlisted men. 1 do not believe that In any service there is a finer body of enlisted men and of Junior officers than we lave in bvtfc tl.e army and the iiii-ie- sl hat-mea- et well-settle- first-clas- LTAU, s i -r T- - l - ' T t -.

At present our men. erpeiially In the navy, are kepi far tun Uig in the junior grades, and then, at much too advanced an age. are put quickly through the senior grades, often H3t attaining to these ssulur grades until they are too old to be of real uae in thein;and if they are of real use, being put through them so quickly that little benefit to the navy come from their having been in them at all. The navy haa one greet advantage over the army lu the tael that the officers of high rank are actually trained in tbe continual performs are of their duties; that is, in the manage-meof the battle ship and armored cruiser gathered Jnlo fleets. This It not true of the army officer who rarely have corresponding chances to exercise command over troop under service conditions. Thu eouduot of the Bpsntah war showed the lamentable hiss of life, the useless extravagance, and tbe Inefficiency certain to result. If during peace, tbe high officials of the war and uavy departments ar praised and rewarded only It they save money at no matter what oust to tbe efficiency of the service, and If the higher officers are given no chance whatever to exercise and practice uoui mand. For year prior ts the Bpenldl: war the secretaries of war were praia chiefly if they practiced economy; ej which economy, especially lu connection with the quartermaster, commissary, and medical department, wss directly responsible for moat of tbe mismanagement lhai occurred in the war itaeli end parenthetically be it observed that the very people who clamored for the fnlsdirected economy In the Drat place' were foremost to denounce the mismanagement, loss, and suffering which were primarily due to this same mlsdlrertej eebnomy and to tbe lack of preparation it Involved. There should soon be an Increase In tbe number of men for our coast defenses; tbese men shuuld be of the right type and properly trained: and there should therefore be an increase of pay for certain' skilled grades, especially In the coast artillery. Money should be appropriated to permit troops to bq massed In body and exercised in maneuvers, particularly In marching. Such exercise during the aurnmer Just passed haa been of incalculable benefit to the army and ahould under no circumstances be discontinued. if on these practice marches and In these maneuvers elderly officer! prove unable to bear the train, they should be retired at once, for the fact la conclusive as to their unfitness for war; that la, for the only purpose because of which they ahould be alluwej to atay in tbe service. It ie a real misfortune to have scores of small company or regimental pus is scattered throughout the country; the army should be gathered In a few brigade or division posts; and the generals ahould be procured In hssdllng the men In masses. Neglect to provide for ell of this means to Incur tbe risk of future disaster and disgrace. 4 The readiness and effleienry of both the army and navy in dealing with the recent rudden crisis in Cuba illustrate afresh their value to the nation. Tbl readiness and fffleiency would have been very much lees had It not been for the existence of the general staff In the army and the general board tn the navy; both are essential to the proper development and use of nnr military forces afloat and ashore. The troops that were seat 'to Cuba were handled flawlessly, it was tha awlft-ea- t mobilization and dispatch of troops over sea ever accomplished by our government. The expedition landed completely equipped and ready for Immediate service, several of lta organ!-xaUon- a hardly remaining in Havana over night before splItUng up Into de tachmenm and going to their several posts. It waa a fine demonstration of the value and efficiency of tbe general staff. Similarly, it was owing In large pert to the general board that the navy waa able at the outset to meet the Cuban crisis with such instant efficiency; ship after ship ap pearing on the shortest noffee at any threatened point, while the marine corpe in particular performed Indispensable service. The army and navy war colleges are of Incalculable value to the two services, and they cooper, ate with constantly increasing efficiency and importance. The congress his most wisely provided for n nations! board for the promotion of rifle practice. Excellent results have already come from this law, but it does not go far enough. Onr regular army H so small that In any great war we should have to trust mainly to volunteers; an. n such event these volunteers should already know how to shoot; for If soldier has the fighting edge, and abilitr to take care of himself In tbe open, bis efficiency on the line of battle Is almost directly proportionate to excellence in marksmanship.
