He Claims More Floating Forts In the Shape of Monitors Are Needed to De fend the City—Warships Below the Ho rizon Could Basily Shell the Town. Admiral James E. Jouett, who was in Louisville recently on a visit to rela tives, said, in discussing the statement that no warship can approach within a dozen miles of New York until it had destroyed the barriers in the bay and sound: “You can only see a ship eight miles nut at sea, and therefore a man-of-war 12 miles away from the harbor and be yond the vision of the gunners in the forts could leisurely throw its shot and shell into New York and be perfectly safe itself. Give a half dozen good ves sels with their high power guns accurate charts, and they can so place their shells that New York would be reduced in a surprisingly short time. Forts are all right when it comes to keeping the fleet of the enemy out of the harbor, but to prevent the ships from effectively bom barding a city they must have.the assist ance of our modern built monitors. “Any large squadron blockading New York city would be more powerful than all her forts combined. It would be only a question of time before the forts would have to capitulate if the vessels should concentrate their Are. But put three or four monitors out in the shoal water and let them poke their shot into the ribs of the enemy, and before yon can say ‘Jack Robinson’ they will steam for the open sea as fast as their screws can propel them. Not only that, but should any of the opposing fleet become disabled a monitor could bustlo up and tow her in as a prize before the neces sary repairs could be made. “Say that we are on the defensive in stead of being the aggressors.

Absolute nrooflraentaaalMon we would have the enemy begging for mercy in no time. Take the little Essex that was under command of Porter dur ing the war of 1812. Single handed she drove the commerce of England off the Pacific ocean and was only finally captured in a neutral port. Forts are necessary, but let us have more active and moving forts, those that can ven ture out to defend the coast and those that can prey upon the commerce of the aggressor. “Let these little frigates go abroad, let them burn, sink and destroy, and then get away. Why, I wnuld run like a dog after I had committed as much depredation as possible and then saw a bigger fellow than I bearing down upon me. Let us have about ten more moni tors, even though we have about that number now. We also need about 20 more torpedo boats. These, together with the speedy vessels that I have just mentioned, would put us in good fight ing trim. “Warwith Spain? Well, it would be foolhardy in the done to press us too hard. Spain knows her navy is almost on a par with ours, and as the fight would all be on the sea and about the vicinity of Cuba she would undoubtedly give us trouble for a time, but only a very short time. The Spaniards are an ignorant people, the most densely igno rant, I believe, of any of the civilized nations. But they are haughty, and should they see that their cause in Cuba is lost they would fight the United States at the expense of the freedom of the island to save their honor. “As to a war with England, that is almost out of the question. England couldn’t afford it. If our ports were blockaded, there would be a bread riot in the British Isles in little or no time. They are dependent upon us for their cereals. The United States, by the way, I believe, is the only country that could depend upon its own resources in case of war. "Spain says she would first proceed to destroy our commerce. That is ridic ulous. Almost all of the exports of America are carried by foreign ships, because the crews can be employed at cheaper wages. This, however, is not to our credit. More merchantmen that could be turned into fighting frigates should be flying the American flag. The government should expend about |lO,- 000,000 in building such vessels or let the big exporters build them and pay for their reconstruction out of what they would receive from the government for carrying the mails. The United States would really be embarrassed right now in case of war with any great power be cause of a lack of ships to convey the soldiers. ” —New York Sun.

TUB BOMB IBimnNTB.- SATURDAY NOnMBKB 20. 18M BIRCH BARK WASTEBASKET. Hint For a Pretty and Novel Christmas Gift. a- ‘t . Many people carry home from their summer outing pieces of birch bark which they have stripped from the glis tening trees during long walks in the country. Here is a pretty way to utilize it: A good sized piece is needed to make a waste basket—although smaller ones are pretty to hold grasses—one that has been stripped unbroken from the tree. Make a cylindrical foundation of very heavy cardboard just the size of the bark. Line it with a pretty colored sateen. Cover the outside with the bark. Out a circle of the cardboard to fit the base of the basket. Cover one side with sateen wadded with cotton, the other with birch bark, and, placing the sateen lining inside, overhand it with strong linen thread to the part of the basket already made. The ribbon which orna ments the top is slipped between the lining and the birch bark and sewed in place with silk of the same color. It is then left to . hang over the edge—one long, one short alternately. The end of each ribbon is folded to a point and is tipped with a tiny silvered bell. A russet red or any color suggestive of autumn leaves or else a pale green or light blue harmonizes well with the sil ver gray of the birch. Free of Charge to Sufferers.
