Lips Ttir tifj vf < rtiUL iuL .ruble. ■ i Weeks Talks About Our Navj i and National Defense. ] ! on Military, Commercial, Financial and Industrial Preparedness — Cat Us Be Ready for Peace aa 1 Wall ae War. By JAME8 B. MORROW, In the PhlladelpNa Record. NONE of the Weeksee, save John Wlngate, the senator and the Massachusetts candidate for president— tolling aa they all did among the granite humps of New Hampshire — was ever noted for his accumulation of cash or property. They were farmers mostly, beginning with Leonard Weeks, who. emigrating from England In 1656, became the head and source of the family. Agriculture sternly practiced among the embedded rocks and irremovable bowlders taught them tp be resourceful and to keep at least one eye open to opportunity. So William D., the father of the senator, was a probate Judge, and once essayed to be a manufacturer. With the co-operation of neighbors, likewise alert and adventurous, he started a factory at Lancaster for making starch from potatoes. "I will never forget the look on my father's face." Captain Weeks told me, "when, on a Sunday morning, just as we were leaving church, we 'saw men and boys running 'down the street and heard them crying: The starch factory is burning."

I Captain John Wlngate Weeks.

"There was no insurance — the policy had lapsed— and the fire swept aw|y all of my father's means and put a burdensome mortgage on his fafm. two and' a half miles in the country." If there had been a navy of a respectable size in 1881 John Wlngats Weeks would now be a captain instead of a senator. Nor would he ever have become a banker and thus have set at naught all the traditions of the Weeks family for self-respecting, callable and wholesome poverty. And yet a psychological analysis of inherited traits might show that the senator comes naturally by his talents j I for public affairs and finance. Any I inquiry into his personality must lnI elude the Wlngates. the chief of whom, j John, an Englishman, emigrated to I New Hampshire in 1660. | The Weekses and the Wlngates inI termarrled during {he second AmerlI can generation — the Weekses to con- < ' tlnue as farmers, with an excursion 1 1 into potato starch, as has been recorded, but the Wlngates to become ( soldiers, preachers and statesmen. ! Paine Wlngate. for example, the great grandson of John, was a member ol the Continental congress and later a • senator from New Hampshire. A Big Man Physically. John Wlngate Weeks of Massachu- ; setts, in his name, therefore, goes back to the middle of the seventeenth cen- ! tury. Perhaps his gifts are equally as J ancient Wherever they originated, I he has mads good use of them. He is j well-to-do — but has less money, per- I baps, than is often represented — and j Republicans in Massachusetts have no- I titled the country that he is their candidate tor president If he is nominated at Chicago In June, the main reason will have been that hs is a basin ess man. His candidacy, then, will be something entirely new In national politics. In his measurements. Captain Weeks is a large man. A reasonable guess at his weight would be 150 pounds. His stature, perhaps, is live feet and eleven Inches. His eyes are gray and his manner is frank and hearty. While at the naval academy he could slowly raise a 112-pound dumbbell above his head with his right hand. Then, kneeling with one leg, he could slowly raise an 87-pound dumbbell with bis left hand. More than that he could lower his hands to his shoulders and slowly and simultaneously put both dumbbells above his head the second time. A muscular youth, he was recommended by his principal to the "prudential committee" that called at the academy in Lancaster on a hunt of a teacher for their district school. The school was then dosed — a group of the large boys having carried the teacher into the road, slammed him down in the dirt and warned him "Lick "em and lick 'em good," the 1 prudential committee said. "Well back you up if you do." "The third day. Captain Weeki told me, "a big, red-faced boy tool 1 his pen in hand and laborious^ be ton to write a letter- that is, he was 1 seemingly engaged in writing a let 1 ter; as a matter of fact, he was show . ing off before the school and experimenting with the new teacher. When 1

he smiled around the room at ' the pupila, who had stopped wbrk- * snd 'tben resumed Bis writing. - • "I took hhn by the collar, dragged * him out of his -aeat aad gave him a « thorough whipping. He turned out ' to be the aoo of the chairman of the 1 prudential committee. The old man never spoke to me again, not even 1 when 1 met him in the road, he rid- • Ing in a buggy and I walking to cr t from my workl" ' Went to Sea for Two Years. « On his graduation at the Annapolis ( Naval Academy, young John Win- * gate Weeks went to sea for a cruise 1 of two years. Seventy men were in ' his class, but there was room for only I 10 of them In the navy. The navy « Itself consisted of but five steam vessels classed as first-rates, and they 1 were obsolete - and unfit for active 1 duty. George Barnett, his room-mate, 1 went into the Marine Corps and Is ' now a major general ' and the com- 1 mandant of that branch of the naval | service. In Florida, where he had been en- 1 gaged as a surveyor on a railroad, the 1 late Midshipman Weeks learned that an old firm In Boston was going out ' of business. One of the partners had I died and another had become blind. 1 Henry Hornblower, a son of one of the partners, and the youthful Mr. Weeks bought the business, the lat- | ter borrowing the money with which 1 to begin his career as a banker and 1 broker. Hornblower acted for the firm on the floor of the Boston Stock Exchange. Weeks kept the Books and waited on the customers as they ap- . pea red. In a few years the two young men had offices all over New England and in cities as far away as Chicago. "I got my first valuable business Idea from a famous New JTngland dressmaker," Captain Weeks said to the writer of this artlcL "A friend who came to^spend the night at our house was talking to Mrs. Weeks while I was reading a newspaper. I heard her say that she had bought a dress in Boston, and that soon after, on returning to the store, the proj prletor, noticing her at the counter, asked if she kad purchased the dress I she was wearing at his establishment - On learning that she had, he said: " 'It is not right Please give your ' name and address to the clerk and we ! shall correct the matter at once.' A Story of Brest slue. I " 'But' the woman replied, 'the dress Is satisfactory to me. Whatever is ; wrong is so small that it is not worth - mentioning.' I " 'Small to you, madam,' the man answered, "but very large to us.' "'And do you know.' the woman ! told Mrs. Weeks, the dross was not | only taken back, but It was kept and . I was given a new one. "I repeated the story to my partner - next day," Captain Weeks said, "and from that time onward we tried to ; please our- customers before we thought of ourselves and the probable profits we could make in our trans actions." Three years ago, following at once his election to the upper House of Congress, Captain Weeks sold out to bis partners and disposed of every interest that might be thought, even indirectly, to Influence his Judgment aa . a lawmaker. It it said in New England that he has always been very careful about his reputation as a bust- . ness man. An anecdote told of him in State street, the Wall street of Bos • ton, shows bow his sensitiveness to public opinion on one occasion proved highly profitable to his partner and himself. A run on a bank in whlcb Captain Weeks was a director, though he owned but J900 of the stock, threat ened, bo he feared, to Injure bis standing in the community. He spent a day and a night at the bank, pledged two-thirds of all the property he and i his partner owned for the payment of j 1 tue bank's debts and put through a re habilitating plan under which the shareholders were sssessed 50 pei cent on their holdings. The bank was saved, but some of the fright ened shareholders sold out Their in I tere8ts were promptly bought by Captain Weeks. The bank prospered and later was combin with othei large banks. Boston financiers say that Mr. Hornblower and Mr. Weeks ultimately made $250,000 on the stock which they purchased when the bank ; seemed to be on the verge of ruin. I When I asked Captain Weeks about I the matter, he said: "1 was a young | man and couldn't afford to be a dl rector in a bank that had closed its doors in the faces of Its depositors, many of whom were poor and most of whom were small merchants and j wage-earners." j "How," I asked him. inasmuch at I he was a sailor himself once, and It ! now on terms of lntftnacy with many high officers, "would you describe the navy of the United States?" "At the outbreak of the war in Europe," he answered, "our navy, in my opinion, was the second best in exia tence. Authorities for whom I havs great respect did not agree with me. They ranked our navy third or fourth j • — some giving France second place , and some believing Germany was stronger at sea than ourselvea "I still think that in ships alone we ! were the equal of France or Germany 1 and much the superior of Japan. Our j officers are the ablest In the world; 1 our crews are the most Intelligent. No 1 nation gives its officers the training that is given to the naval officers of I , the United 8tates. And the men In ; our ships, coming from farms and vil- ; 1 lages, in large part, are the finest morally and physically afloat "In my days, back In 1880, let us say, 1 the sailor on shore leave wlr- returned to his ship sober was keelhauled or 1 i otherwise punished by his mates. All that has changed. Intoxicated sailors ' ' are see no more on the streets. Our i men are sober, serious and capable. When an estimate of any navy is ■' made, the personnel, as well as the ; ■ ships, must be considered. 1 Lessons of the War. i J "So I bad though! that only Great ! 3 Britain excelled us as a naval power j at the outbreak of the war in Europe. 1 'Since the war started. France and ' Germany have geen building ships. ' Onr rank Just now, therefore, la on- f certain. But we have a good navy. f Still, it should be much larger." ' "Has the war taught the world any • naval lesaona?" I

the deck of a vieesl, they eaa> easily locate the enemy and are therefore of the greateet possible use ta the events that occur before a'tiatHa.. "The submarines, has bee* learned, are of a real and practical ess navy, but there le some agreement ea to their general utility^ Can a swarm of submarines, for Instance, go to sea, meet a fleet and A*" stroy It? The question " cannot be, answered until such an attempt haa made and either failed or moceedqL "I asked one of the highest military authorities in the country if 1,000 suh-i marines, along with mines, could safeguard the United States against Invasion—the mines to blow up the ene-' mles' ships oft shore, if any happened to get that near, the submarines having met the rest and destroyed them before they came frithin striking, distance of our coasts. ' The answer was that such a measure of protection, an invasion of the United, States would, to say the least be. made very difficult "You see, no one can tell as yet' what part the submarines will taka In the wars of the future. Their use* are slowly being developed, and we cannot know what they are capable of doing until the French or British fleet meets the fleet of Emperor William. "Also, it has been learned that bettie cruisers are required to bring navy up to its highest efficiency. Cruisers formerly were used as sooutai and to hunt down and destroy the merchant ships of an enemy. They, were swift, but not heavy enough to. take a place in the battle line whan large vessels were engaged. A Sea Battle First. "The modern cruiser, however, can flrht, being covered with armor and armed with large guns. Steaming SO ' knots an hour, it can run all around, a fleet of dreadnaughts and pump shells Into them from a long distance and from any angle. Our navy must have battle cruisers, besides a great many submarines and aeroplanes. If we mean to be In a position where we can protect ourselves against Injur}', Insult or dishonor. "It should be always remembered," Captain Weeks went on to say. "that our navy will be our first line of defense. American ships will meet foreign ships before there is a battle oa shore. If the United 8tates goes to war with any nation in Euorpe or Asia, the fleets of the two countries will fight for the supremacy of tha sea. "No invading army will set out for America until it Is safe from attack by our fleet So long as our fleet Is afloat no army will venture to start for our ; shores. Moving troops from one ooun1 try to -aosther is an immsnae undertaking, even when it is safe to do sa "Four hundred large ships, for example, would be required to transport an army of 250,000 men from Japan to the United 8tates. Armies traveling by water have to carry their own artillery, ammunition and horses. Japsn would not send 100 large troop ships out into the Pacific unless its ; fleet bad fought and defeated our fleet Nor would Germany or. any other country In Europe attempt an Invasion of the United States so long as our fleet, decks cleared, was wait Ing in the Atlantic. "Looking to the East, 1 can see no probable danger that Is likely to occur in the near future, unless the allies are thoroughly beaten by Germany, or unless Germany is thoroughly beaten by the allies. If the war is practically a draw at the end, the efforts of all the great nations to maintain an : equilibrium of power will keep them entirely engaged for some time with their own affairs." "Do you believe that a trade war against this country will follow ths - restoration of peace in Europe?" "Such a war will come — there is no doubt of 1l Loaded wltb debt, burdened with taxation, Europe will turn with energy and ferocity to the works of peace. The factories in Europe, except in Belgium, Poland and Northern France, have not been sbut down nor burned.

"Things have been speeded up in Great Britain, Germany aud France. The factories, old ones and new ones, are running. They will be running after the armies at the frfint have been sent home, but instead of making cannon and ammunition, as at present, they will be operated pigfct and day in the production of goods for the American markets.
