The 645 employes of the State De- partment are to receive an average net increase in salary (above their present basic salary plus the bonus) of $108 under reclassification. The 4,495 employes of the United States Veterans' Bureau are to re- celve an average net increase in sal- ary (above the base pay plus the bonus) of $19. This striking contrast 1s due to the fact that, the Veterans' Bureau having been conducted for vears under a lump sum appropria- tlon, the salaries have not been fixed by statute and in anticipation of re- classification they have been pulled up so that they have really been I classified” for several years. In the State Department proper and In the varlous commleslony un. der the State Department the forty- Bime employes in the Drofessionai and sclentific service are to have an av- erage net increase of $256, due to the fact that practically all of them had been recelving no part of the 9240 bonus.

Mr. Child possesses | a tenor voice of beautiful quality. In part I, during which the compo- sitions of Haydn, Handel and Bee- thoven were rendered, the artists por- trayed court musiclans of the early eighteenth century, Miss Shaw’s gown being an exact copy of a Romney print. In part II, when Liszt, Meyerbeer and Chopin were interpreted, both ap- peared in formal dress of the middle eighteenth century.

This will make British superiority over Amer-" ica In cruiser strength even more ronounced. Japan's earthquake has n no degree retarded her naval uc- tivity. In’the super-modern naval weapon, tho ocean-going ~ submarine, the United States is also behind Britain and Japan. The Navy wants six large submarines, three as ocean cruisers and three as mine-layers. They are the most valuable type for defense of oversea possessions and the FPan- ama canal. Japan has two bullt and twenty-three building. For’ protection of our $200,000,000 trade in the interior of China, fast light-draft gunboats for “Yangste patrol” are required. present patrol ngists of obsolete craft. The Yangste fleet is in almost incessant action bandits over a river miles. The vessels now in comml: sion are for the most part of Span- Ish war vintage and too slow to oper- | ate against flood waters. The United States Chamber of Commerce warmly supports the demand for an ade- up-to-date Yangste patrol: nboats and cruisers Caribbean are protecting a trd worth nearly $1,000,000,000. Need Aviation Funds, The Navy needs funds for develop- ment of aviation at sea in keeping with fast-expanding modern require- ments. Money is sought for conver- sfon of two of our to-be-scrapped battle crulsers into aircraft carriers. In addition to alrcraft carrlers, the Navy wants to equip our older battle- ships s0- they can resist air attack Their sides and decks must be pro tected from bombs and they must be fitted with anti-aircraft guns. The Navy quite especially hopes Congress will_authorize use of the already ap- propriated funds for elevating the gun range of our older battleships. The diplomatic controversy with Great Britain on_this score is not yet settled. Our Navy sticks to the contention that we have a right to elevate the ranges without violating either letter or spirit of the Wash- ington treaty. If we do mot so im- prove our guns, artillery experts in- alst that in battle an enemy could se- lect a distance which he could keep. with his superior speed, and sink our ships because they could not get within_range. Gn the vital questions of a naval reserve and adequate bases, our na- val authorities also hope to per- suade Congress to meet reasonable requirements. To man our existing ships in time of war would require 200,000 trained men. In the world war We had for 1) naYal purposes 99,000, Apples and Cider For Halloween 500 Bu.

It costs money to train such an organi- sation in peace time, and the Navy will urge Congress to provide it. Bases Are Neglected. As to bases, it will astonish the average American to learn that we have not a single base in the United Htates that would serve the fleet in time of war. It is proposed to make a real fleet base In the Hawailan Is- lands, one in San Francisco harbor, cne in Puget sound, ind one in New York harbor. Existing bases are in urgent need of improvement. Bases are indispensable. Without them the finest ships, the biggest guns and the bravest sailors are of little use. Oth- er first-class sea powers are giving primary attention to bases: Britain is about to spend $55,000,000 at Sin- sapore. | Last year the people of the United States paid in taxes for all pur- poses, local and national, $51 per capita. Of that, about $2.76 went to the Navy. The men who are yiving of their best to preserve the tradi. ons o for national protection at sea.
