NAVY HOT FOR SHOW
The Navy Department is receiving
numerous requests from places along the
sea coast for the detail of one or more
ships of war to take part in local cele
brations. Some of these requests come
from seaside resorts where the navy
forms obviously an attraction to visitors,
and in some instances the request has no
other reasons for being made than that
the navy is to be used in this connection.
Secretary Bonapart sees all of these
requests, and most of them have to be
unfavorably acted upon, for the reason
that there are no ships of the Atlantic
fleet which can be spared for this pur
pose. This year the navy has been ex
ceedingly busy in a practical way, and
'.he program for manoeuvres has been
unbroken by anything which resembles
the excursions and frivolity of other years.
It is the policy of the present administra
tion to keep the naval service keyed up to
a standard of efficiency, a sort of perpet
ual preparedness for action. This has
been accomplished by a prearranged
schedule of work which includes the k.nd
of activity in which the navy would be
called upon to take part in tne event of
actual hostilities. All of the exercises re
quire reports from the officers who con
duct them, together with suggestions of
