He was gifted enough to pick up quickly a little something in every field of knowledge. But he was not gifted enough to realize that he did not for that reason understand a great deal. Nor was he modest enough to suspect that in every field the real problem began at the very point where his knowl edge and judgment ended. He always took his own, sophomoric ideas for grandiose pioneering concepts. One day he discovered in himself a talented ship building . engineer.

It would have a speed which has not yet been attained, its armor would surpass that of anything now afloat, its masts would be the highest in the world, its guns would outrange any others. And the inner ap pointments are so well arranged that for the whole v tfc PREFACE crew, from thecaptain down to the cabin boy, it would be a real pleasure to sail in her. This wonderful vessel has only one fault if she were put in water she would sink like a lump of lead. We know another wonderful vessel which sank like a lump of lead. It was the world order and world peace of 1919. Will this happen again In the course of the next twenty-five years shall we find once more that a new fangled, daring construction has been erected accord ing to grandiose pioneering ideas and that it has sunk like a lump of lead The danger that this may happen is a real one...
