SECOND TO NONE
THE AMERICAN NAVY ASSISTANT SECRETARY'S DESIRE Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright. WASHINGTON, January 26., The “ Big Navy ” talk continued in full blast to-day. Mr Henry Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary of the Navy, and a kinsman of the President, in a public address, declared: “ I am for a navy second to none within treaty commitments. a navy built to the last rivet and the last gun, and manned to the last seaman and marine. , This is not because I want war; it is because I want to, avoid war, but there is no such thing as a second prize in battle. The winner takes all.”
