The commander of the Spanish fleet, which wai directed to tall for Amer ica when we declared war again! Spain, took refuge in the harbor of Santiago becauae he knew that he waa hopelessly outclassed In thins, guns and men. He knew that the ord-r dispatching hla licet acroaa the At lantic was equivalent to death war rant for hii men. If the Cntted States were today Involved In war with a great power our navy would be In relatively the aame position ai woa that of Spain In 1908. We are abort of ships. Japan baa four dread naughts; Germany 14; Great Britain 20. We have no modern dreadnaughta 1 Even Germany's navy with 14 dread naughta Is now bottled np. Our ships lack In speed. Great speed and guns capable of high elevation are the most Important features of the modern dreadnaught. A ship with a speed one half knot faster and with guns of one half mile greater range, bat at Its mercy any other ship in which all oth er conditions are equal. On the sblpa of other nations the guus can be ele vated from 20 to 30 degrees. We have none that can be elevated more than 15 degrees. - Japan's four modern dreadnaughta In service have a apeed of from 23 to 27 knots. Two more of the same type will soon go Into service. Our best ships, the Oklahoma and the Nevada, Juxt going Into serv ice, can make only 21 knots an hour. Others such as the Minnesota, Con necticut, Vermont and the New Hamp shire cannot keep up a speed of 13 miles an hour. The two great sea bat tle of the present European war were fought at a range of more than ten miles. Many of our ships are hope lessly outclassed In the range of their guns. The (una of our ships like the Alabama have an extreme range of only T miles. Our ships are short of men. For war time atrength T2. 600 are needed; we have but 33.000. Are We Prepared on Land7 The present mobile strength of our regular army I about 80,000 men. Ex pert estimate that one oversea na tion can land 827,000 men on our At lantic coast In 46 days ; another over seas nation can land 238.000 soldiers on oar Pacific coast In 63 days six soldiers on the Pacific coast to every one of our regulars; 23 on the Atlantic to every one of our regulars. Little Swttxerlaod with population of only 4,000,000 can put 200.000 trained sol di era In the field within 48 hours ana In five days can bring the total up to 500,000. trained, fully equipped, eea soned, hardened, dependable men. The mobile strength of our regular army In proportion to our population has been decreasing since 1810. Then we bad 1,410 soldiers per million of pop ulation; now we have about 897 per million population. Cities require ooe policeman for every, 1,000 of popula tion. Our artillery equipment Is pitiful. Tbey are naing 2 and 16 Inch howitzer In the European war. We have no field howitzer greater than six Inches. Germany baa at least 14, 000 grmt guus; England 5.500; Japan over 8,000 while we have only 850, and It take at least live month to make ooe. Pitiful aa It our equipment of field artillery both In number and In alze It could use up all the ammuni tion we have In 36 boor of fighting. The guna In our harbor fort are now outranged by the gun on the battleship of foreign nations. The largest gun at the Atlantic coast forts carry 7H mile. The gun of the ship of other nations carry 12 miles; therefore the fleet of an ene my could stand four mile out of rang of our coat guns and bombard the forts. Their shots would bit while ours would faU Into the sea. We have 12 inch guns mounted at Panama bnt the one 16-Inch gun for the defease of the canal ha been there tea years and Is still unmounted. Even If we hid the guns wt Lavs bo crews to man them. We have 252 12 Inch guns already mounted without single person to man then, two 14-inch gun mounted without tingle person to operate them, 87 8-liua guna wltb bo crews, Tl 10-lnrb guns mounted without single men to opvrtt these. A snort time ago on of lut two tune at Key West, the true key to the Golf of Mexico, was manned by sergeant and his fsmlly.

Tb demand of tb train aervtc men for an Increase ha wage, which, U la estimated, would cost tba railroads of tb country 1100,000,000 a year, were originally presented last March.
