No. XV.—An Old kriend Becomes Our koe. | F the many thousand people who have thronged Riverside Drive to gaze at the long line of gray, grim warships of our navy anchored in the North River, few perhaps guessed when and under what dramatic circumstances our national navy was founded. | It was not during the Revolution, for at that time we were not yet an | Setual nation; nor could our one or two little ships that survived the | struggle be called a navy. It was not until fifteen years after the close ot the Revolution, and at a time when war clouds again hung thick over our | country, that an actual nations! navy was formed and a Secretary of tho Navy appointed. The foe that we then prepared te face was the old | friend that had helped us win our freedom—France! | The French Government had aided us greatly during the Revolution, Partly because the French were excited over the new doctrines of liberty and republican partly because France and England were. foes, and because kindness to us meant injury to Great Britian Having helped ns the French thought us under deep obligation to them. They considered we should take France's part in her troubles with England. They considered that our treaty with England was grossly unfair to France. John Adams had just succeeded Washington as Presi: “Millions dent of the United States. France had cast aside its mon- for Defense!" | 8FChY¥: had plunged through @ pe of bloodshed known ec.J as the Reign of Terror, and was then governed by & body of men known as the Directory. The Directory was made up—in part, at least—of domagogues and grafters. Both of these elements saw profilt in a dispute with,our country. Furious at our treaty with England, the Directory set to work crippling our commerce and doing all in Its power to humitiate us. President Adams sent envoys over to negot They were told in semt-oficial fashion that a bribe of $220,000, pald to the right French offictal, would do wonders toward healing the breach between the two nations, It was in reference to this demand that Charles C. Pinckney issued his immortal @e@- ance: “Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute!” The United States rushed to arms. Congress, at Adams's request, in March, 1798, made quick preparation for war. A “provisional army,” 20,000 strong, was voted. George Washington drawn from his hard-earned retirement end was appointed Commander-in-Chief. The hero that had won our liberty and had launched the Ship of State had been vilified and denounced in later years by politicians, But now, when real danger again threatened us, his countrymen turned to him as frightened children to wise father Alexander Hamilton was appointed “Second in Command.” Congress also authorized the founding of a national navy to reinforce the very few serviceable ships we already po! a. The N Department was formed. The office of Secretary of the Navy was created, and Benjamin Stoddert of Maryland, {ts first Incumbent, took his place in the Cabinet. Our navy thus sprang into existence By the end of 1798 {t consisted of twenty-three vessels, whose total armargent was 446 guns. In February of 1799, Commodore ‘Truxton, with the U, S$. frigate Constellation, powered and seized the French frigate Inu and later he captured the French frigate Ve Congress authorized our merchant } ships to arm themselves and to prey on the enemy. This buildings maimed and shorn of their walls and other conditions that efaced a fine new street. Had power been in the city to condemn a strip of property on cither side, the whole could have been re- | plotted and resold to advantage. Instead of paying damages to own- ers of disfigured realty, the city would have received large sums from persons eager to take advantage of a public improvement by erecting | buildings abutting it. It would have reaped the “unearned incre- ment. It goes without saying that the city is entitled to this incre- | ment, and not real estate speculators or “honest grafters” to whom the tip has gone forth that the city is going to make a strect or a park and that it will be well to get hold of the property. Give the Legislature power to grant the right of excess condemnation, and the municipality may go far toward making many improvements pay for themselves. It may hope to emulate the sightliness and conven- iences of a Paris, a Brussels. | meant both prize money and patriotic achievement for such ships’ owners; and three hundred merchant craft Were thus armed, Our fighting ships swarmed in West c—_—— Sea Fights | and Triumphs. a { Indian waters and elsewhere.
