“NAVY SECOND TO NONE”
ONLY ONE PRIZE IN BATTLE. PRESIDENT’S BROTHER SPEAKS. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Washington, Jan. 26. The “big navy” talk continued in full blast to-day. Mr. Henry Roosevelt, Assistant Secretary to the Navy and 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 second prize in battle. The winner takes all.”
