BIGGER NAVY,
Administration Has Deter

IERRITORIM EimsiOl
Will Compel the Maintenance of a
Much Larger Force on the Sea
to Protect Interests.
New York, August 16.—The strength of
the navy will not be precipitately reduced
on account of the cessation of hostilities,
but, on the contrary, the administration
has determined that a very large naval
force was necessitated by tho increased ob
ligations the United Start*, had undertaken
or had forced upon it.
Orders have been given out not only for
the prosecution of energetic operations at
all the naval stations, but to speedily put
in fine trim all the regular warships of the
fleet, but a very large proportion of the
auxiliary which were purchased to the ex
tent of nearly a hundred, will be consid
er, d in the catagory of permanent addi
tions to the navy and will not be turned
back to the original owners.
Such a policy was favorably considered
by the authorities a few weeks ago, but
hardly had the peace protocol been signed
than there resulted a more adequate reali
zation of the great change which the na
tional policy of the United States had un
dergone, and today the conviction is forced
upon the naval administration that the
American sea power cannot be safely cur
tailed.

NAVY’S SUCCESS
Long Says, Was Due to System and Ability
of the Officers.
Boston, Mass., August 13. —In speaking
of the success of the navy, Secretary Gong
said:
“First, we have an excellent system and
organization. Each bureau —and there is
one bureau for every phase of naval work
—is thoroughly adapted to its work. At -the
beginning of the war each bureau chid
was told that I would back him in every
vcay with -the money, but that he was to be
he4d in strict personal responsibility for
the conduct wf his bureau. Then these bu
reau chiefs are men of the highest capabil
ity and -training, and too much cannot bo
said in praise of the way in wthich they
have done their work. There has hardly
been a mistake, or what 1 might call a
single failure, in preparing for any emer
gency that has arisen.
“The bureau chiefs exhibited a good deal
of foresight in getting ready beforehand.”
