ftates, the degree of training
very similar and there is httle
difference in personnel. The
chief defect in the national
guard system has always been
a possible conflict in authority.
However, the federalization of
the guard is supposed to have
remedied this trouble. If it
has not done so further legisla

STATE OF MIND IN NAVAL
ACTION
of a girl at home, don't believe
him, especiall if he is telling it
to the girl. One does a bit of
thinking on the way home after
the battle, and that's when the
sailor gets soft and imagina
tive. From "Sailors' Sensati
ons in Battle," by Lewis R.
Freeman, in the February Pop
ular Mechanics Magazine.
A JOB OF MANY YEARS
NATIONAL GUARD EFFI
CIENCY fSTROPO President Wilson's
talk yesterday to guard
critics, it is interesting to
observe that many newspapers
in various parts of the coun
try contend that while the na
tional guard regiments of their
t?wn states are highly efficient
they are the exception rather
than the rule as the national
uard as a whole is practically
worthless. As a matter of truth
llie standard of national guard
efficiency is about the same
throughout the country. The
equipment is the same in all
r& HE question of what a
& man is most likely to
think about when under
fire or in action, has been much
discussed since the battle of
Horn Reef. Much evidence has
been collected and many theor
ies advanced. Obviously, the
answer w ill depend very much
upon the man, what sort of fire
he is under, and especially
what his duties are. Generali
zing very broadly from the con
versations I have had with, and
letters I have reaa from, men
who went through this greatest
of naval battles, I should say
that, so far as the British sail
or is concerned, the concentra
tion of mind in carrying out in
action the duties which he had
trained so assiduously for dur
ing many years of peace, pret
ty effectuallly kept his
thoughts from wandering far
afield. The following extract
from the letter of an officer
whose ship gave and took some
cf the hardest knocks, seems to
me to indicate a state of mind
i fairly typical of the average
British sailor in action.
"I suppose I was too busy to
think. We iust got on with
the work and that kept us
stretched. When we eot a Ger-
iman cruiser, I said 'Our Bird,'
nd I have an idea we passed
p. word or two when a shell
gave our turret a rap that
made our teeth grind: but as
for 'happy memories of boy
hood days' and 'The Little
Gray Home in the West'
nothing doing. You've got to
keep your mind on one thing,
and that isn't 'memories of
home,' but your work. If a
sailor tells how, with shells ex
ploding and men being killed
around him, he was thinking
ACCORDING to Marine En

great activity in shipbuilding
around San Francisco and all
along the Pacific coast is no
ephemeral boom, but is cer
tain to continue for. years to
come, on account of the short
age of vessels already caused
by the great war, and which is
increasing rather than dimin
ishing despite the feverish ac
tivity of all shipyards to keep
ur with their orders. It is es
timated that at least ten years
will be required to restore the
equilibrium in shipping.
So lone as the war lasts and
the shipyards of the belliger
ents cannot take up the task,
the plants of the neutral coun
tries, and narticularly on the
Pacific and Atlantic coasts 01
the United States, must bear
the whole burden 01 construc
tion.
Over 1.500.000 tons of ves
sels are now under contract in
American shipyards. Contracts
for 100 or more vessels couia
h had at a moment's notice if
shiobuilders could find steel
and the wavs to launch the
shins on.
But this is only a drop in the
bucket to the shipping the
world needs and must have to
carry on its business. When
the war broke out the gross
tonnage of the merchant ma
rine of the world was about
50.000.000 tons.
Great Britain alone has lost
through destruction 2,734,106
tons, or more than 10 per cent.
of her total of 21,045,049 tons
when the war began. France
has lost about one-sixth of her
total mercantile tonnage, or
309,023 tons. Germany has
lost over 500.000 tons.
Others of the allies and neu
trals have lost enough during
the war to bring the total up
to about 5,000,000 Jons.
Rut in addition to the Gire:i
loss of this enormous amount
of tonnage now lying on the
bottom of the ocean, marine
engineers figure that the de
terioration of the nearly 5,
000.000 tons of Teutonic ves
sels, now interned runs, from
15 to 20 per cent a year.
The third factor to which
marine engineers ascribe the
tremendous dwindling oi me
world's merchant marine is tne
commandeering of the largest
and best freight and passenger
steamers by Great Britain and
the other belligerents for war
purposes.
There is news that the diet of
Japan has been dissolved;
therefore Japan now nas a li
