HENRY MORANS, seweLer 321 MAIN ST. -NEW BRITAIN, C ONN, S T eI 1 ROLE OF NAVY IN WINNING THE WAR Gouncil of Defensg Describes Growth of U. S. Sea Fighters This is the seventh of a series of articles on America’s war preparations segured from offiefal government sources by tha/Connecncut State Council of 'Defense. = These artlcles, t of which are giyen out e‘:& week, are as complete and Informative as military re- quirements will permit, The Navy was ready when war be; Like Von Moltke's army in Co- Prusshm war, it had only | to go ahead’ with plans arranged in ! advance., It has not had to change its organizatian. It has simply in- \creased ; in size at every point, and | gone over the top. The number of ships ln the war ! construction program of the Navy is 787, including some ships recently completed. This is considerably more than twice the total pumber of ships in commission on the day war was de- clared on Germany. In tthe past year the Nnvy has expanded from 68,000 enlisted men to more than 260,000, including marines, reserves and otherssin service. In January, 1917, there were officers. Now there are more than 15,000. At the beginning of the year there were 300 naval vessels of all types in commission; now there are ‘“many more than a thousand.” were on the stocks then have been hurried to completion. Ships that were laid up in the navy yar be- cause there were not men enough to man them have been refitted and manned and sent to sea. Scores of yachts and power boats have heen taken over from private owners to be set at work searching for submarines. In the past syear the Navy has gress has appropriated for naval pur- poses $1,905,410,930. This is more money than was spent on the navy in the entire period from 1883 to 1911— the first 28 years of the existence of 5 lafl,‘,r ground ' was 4,500 | Ships that | | the “New Navy.” And that perfod’in- | clpdes the years of rapid naval ex- pansion that followed upon our war with Spain. | But the Navy has done more in the pasd year than merely to exphnd. Tt has been engaged day after day fer months in the actual business of naval It has sunk submarines— is | warfare. i how many, the department -telling. { The first American forces to land | in France for service against the | Germans were units of the naval | aeronautic corps. They were landed at a French port early in June. The Navy has fourteen times as | many flying boats as it had at the | beginning of the year, and thirty ['times as many men in its aircraft { forces. It has huilt its own aircraft { factory in Pfhll&delphln. Ninety days broken for “the | plant, the keel of a flying boat was lbeing laid.

One invention may'be worth twenty dreadnoughts. What our Navy has done in this way must be left for time and results to show. But Thomas A. Edison is in Washington, giving his entire time to his country as Kead of | the Naval Consulting Board. That fact, to most Americans, will<be'the best possible guarantee that the ' money voted for the Navy is being ex- pénded not only wisely, but with the utmost ingenuity of which human nature is capable.
