news and items of interest about the United
States Navy. It devotes articles each month
to the activities of the Navy League and in
that way serves as the official organ of the
Navy League. A twelve months’ subscription
to ‘Sea Power” is included with all member-
ships in the Navy League.

In 1922 the Navy League instituted Navy
Day (the birthday of President ‘Theodore
Roosevelt, October 27). Its purpose has al-
ways been to stimulate public interest in the
Navy and in all that concerns the Navy, and
to specialize in the actual needs and conditions
of the Navy.

The Navy League has no connection with
any business or political organization. It is
not a relief or welfare organization.
There are adequate organizations for this lat-
ter purpose in connection with our sea-going
forces. It is a patriotic association to promote
adequate sea power, both naval and merchant,
in war and in peace for the security of the
United States.

The Navy League has Local Councils in
many cities. Members are desired whose
ideas are in accordance with the principles
here expressed and the policies here described.

“Tell the men to fire faster, and
don’t give up the ship. Fight her till
she sinks.” — Capt. James Lawrence
