To the end of the land, the navy, in conflict, must bear the first line of defense. The service is expected to render it of the largest consequence to the national fleet. It is no longer a holiday outing for a vacation cruise, as the navy's navy is now in the hands of the enemy. The duties of the officer and the navy will discharge are dangerous and the men in command of hard ships and perilous naval actions are great. A ship of war is never for the weakling, but the importance of the art is of utmost importance. The American navy, in its great strength, is not only great but also of great importance. Adventurous youth and glory and promotion are not only great, but also of a ship at sea. No doubt the German will defend their destruction of furniture and household goods in the event of military necessity. America's part in the war, which is now about to be fought, will not be the case, but it will not be a failure. German frightfulness lacks the desire to be crushed.
