Those who base their opposition to
the preparedness program on the sup
position that the European belligerents
will come forth from the present strug
gle so was worn that for a long time
to come they will be more concerned
to avoid than to seek further trouble
with other nations, either overlook or
Ignore one very Important fact. This
is that, no matter what their losses on
land have been or how greatly they
may have suffered in the diminuation
of their material resources, not one
of the first rate powers participating
in the struggle, has so far incurred
a net loss in sea power. More than
that, unless the future course of the
eonlliet shall be marked by more sea1
battles than have taken place so far, {
the restoration of peace will find ah {
the first class powers with greater j
navies than they had at the commence- j
ment of hostilities.
Great Britain, for instance, has. up
to the first of the year, seventeen
months after the beginning of the
struggle, put into commission no less
than twelve superdreadnouughs which
have been built, olther In whole or
part, since the beginning of the war.
According to the statements relative
to this new navy .published in several
reliable Journals, these vessels will be
far more powerful and swift than any
of the older vessels of Britain’s vast
naval tleet. They are mounted In the
aggregate with no fewer than seventy
fifteen inch guns. twenty fourteen
inch and twenty five thirteen inch. In
addition to powerful secondary bat-1
teries of smaller caliber, together with i
a large number of torpedo tubes. Sev
eral of these vessels are, according
to London reports of a type which is
expected to constitute something of
a rr.f.r.m ir. sea power and

White Boot
‘With tlia Red-Line 'round the Top"
You know thr.t when a boot comes in and
simply sweeps the whole country like
“HIPRESS” has done, it’s GOT to be
SOMETHING UNUSUAL.
White Goodrich ‘‘IMPRESS" Boots actually wear
longer than iron or steel! You don’t have to half
sole them with leather—they far outwear hob
nailed leather soles. The reason for this unusual service is that
’‘IMPRESS" are constructed by an entirely new process-—fifty years

t i-rther under enormous pressure INTO ONE SOLID PIECE!
Nothing to eome apart—they can’t leak, peel, crack or split! They’re comfort
able, too—shaped to the foot while it’s working. We promise that once you start
wearing White ’’HIPRESS’’ you’ll never be satisfied with anything else. And
remember—it has a Red-Line ’round the Top.

Elizabeth, the most powerful fighting
machine float, will be barely more
than a second rate warship. It Is also
interesting to note in this connection
that the English are planning ctili
more powerful vessels to be built
within the present year and which

will be eight hundred feet In length
over one hundred and fifty feet longer
than the largest American battlehlp
now In commission, and will have a
speed that will far outstrip any
thing, either In commission or projecteu
in the United States. The statement
further adds that they will be equlppeu
with not more than six nor less than
four fifteen inch guns, togother with
powerful batteries of lesser sized
armaments ,and will have a speed o
thirty knots per hour. Their speed
as well as the great range of the guns,
is expected to place them far ahead
of anything afloat. Not alone has
