these days. To know how logically they are talking it
is necessary to know first just where our navy stands.
In to-morrow's Tribune there is a special article from
Washington that tells the what, where and when of the
navy. It's a frank statement of carefully compiled facts
and figures from which you may draw your own con?
clusions.
You who want to keep posted on conditions in order
to estimate the value of preparedness plans, will certainly
want this article for reference. And, by the way, have
you yourself employed that simple measure of prepared?
ness? Have you told your news?
dealer to reserve your copy ?
