K.-fcrring to the remarks attributed to Mr. Landis. Admiral Dewey said that, of ccurse. what the former meant was that the navy would be comparatively useless in time of war without necessary auxiliaries The r.dmiral expressed the belief that ship subsidy legislation could be secured were it not for the use of the word ??subsidy" which he said many people do not like because thev thought It meant to give something for nothing "But the American navy is not quite aa helpless as one might imagine Item Mr. Uindis's remark*." said the admiral. ' "We have fifteen colliers and sev? eral transmits alreadv in the service Of course, ttipse would not be enough in time of war and I BOB* that we will continue to add to that number If wp were to have a war we could pur cha.-e aa many ships as we nnghi need It would, of course, be a great deal better if we had them already " The admiral declared that the I'nit Oa S'ates needed a merchant marine not only fir the value it trtight possess as furnishing auxiliaries to th< navy, but to carry the American flag in the market of the world. "But." said Admiral Dewev. "this will oe no war. And so long as we go ahead steadilv and moderately in adding to our navv, replacing the older ships with the most modern type, thus Keeping our navy abreast of the world no one will be able to say, like Br Landis. that i ther na? tions do not regard the American navy seriously."1 OR.
