Whichever army can drive its enemy off the roads must win the war, because it can get what it wants from its base, (that is, from the places where its supplies of men and arms and food and every other need are kept); while its enemy will have to go without, being unable to get anything like enough, by bad and roundabout ways, to keep up the fight against men who can use the good straight roads. So it is with navies. The navy that can beat its enemy from all the shortest ways across the sea must win the war, because the merchant ships of its own country, like its men-of-war, can use the best routes from the bases to the front and back again; while the merchant ships of its enemy must either lose time by roundabout voyages or, what is sure to happen as the war goes on, be driven off the high seas altogether.The savages of long ago often took to...

The Sea is His: He made it, Black gulf and sunlit shoalFrom barriered bight to where the longLeagues of Atlantic roll: Small strait and ceaseless oceanHe bade each one to be: The Sea is His: He made it-And England keeps it free. By pain and stress and strivingBeyond the nations' ken, By vigils stern when others slept, By lives of many men;Through nights of storm, through dawningsBlacker than midnights be-This sea that God created, England has kept it free. Count me the splendid captainsWho sailed with courage highTo chart the perilous ways unknown-Tell me where these men lie!To light a path for ships to comeThey moored at Dead Man's quay;The Sea is God's-He made it, And these men made it free. Oh little land of England, Oh mother of hearts too brave, Men say this trust shall pass from theeWho guardest Nelson's grave.Aye, but these braggarts yet shall learnWho'd hold the world in fee, The Sea is God's-and England, England shall keep it free. -R.

DAVID BEATTY,2nd of June, 1919. INTRODUCTION Who wants to be a raw recruit for life, all thumbs and muddle-mindedness? Well, that is what a boy or girl is bound to be when he or she grows up without knowing what the Royal Navy of our Motherland has done to give the British Empire birth, life, and growth, and all the freedom of the sea. The Navy is not the whole of British sea-power; for the Merchant Service is the other half. Nor is the Navy the only fighting force on which our liberty depends; for we depend upon the United Service of sea and land and air....
