WHERE FOOLS RUSH IN. It's funny how fans who have béen used to class D or C ball, when they reak into higher company, immediate- ly try to tell the managers how the game should be run. Take the cases of Richmond in the International and Salt Lake in the Pacific Céast. The majority of the fans in these twons never saw a fast game of ball until this season, but it is noted that al- ready a lot of them are teélling just how things should be run in class A company, WHY MAYOR WASN'T THERE. There was no Mayor pitching the first ball at the opening of the Cen- tra] league season at Terre Haute, be- cause the Mayor of that town, along with 21 other grafting, vote-buying prominent citlzens is in the fedgral penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth. It was just as well. A couple of vears ago the Mavor pitched the first ball in Terra Haute, a hailf-baked um- pire called it a strike on the batter and a protested game resulted. oo AR B YALE.

Leondon, May 3.——A German sub- marine on Saturday sank the old British destroyer Récruit off the Gal- loper lightahip, in the North Seéa, but the seoré was more equalized BY other Eritish destroyers, which, after a stern chase, o6vértook and sank two Ger- man torpedo boats that had accom- paniéd thé submarihe on ner cruise, and had just sunk the Britisn trawler Cclumbla. Some of the crew of the Recruit were rescued by the Trawler Daisy, but ds the submarine fired ,en thé fishermen, they were compelied to leave the others to their fate, The Britjsh destroyers rescued most of the crews of the German torpedo boats, and two officers were picked up by a passing steamér and taKen to Hollana.

WOULD BE FUNNY, ANYHOW. A Philadelphia ecritic, roasting the Athletics, says they have been play- ing “Charlie Chaplin” baseball, which, we take it, {s about the limit of a roast. That kind of ball, however, should at least have the merit af be- ing funny, so why do the Quaker City fans get sore? MAGEE CLAIMS UMPIRE PLOT. Lee Magee, the brilliant young lead- er of the Brookfeds, has started some- thing in the Fed league.

DANIE[S Relative to Preseat Status of U.§. Naval Equipment. Boston, May 3.—Former Secratary of the navy, George von L. Meyer, made public last night a statement reviewing theé open letter from Secre- tary of the Navy Daniels to President Garfield of Williams college, concern- ing the present status of the naval ecuipment of the United States, Mr. Meyer opens with the statement that Secretary Daniels’ discussion of this subject “leaved much to be desired in the way of information.” The state- mént follows: “The Secretary neglects to state, wheén he refers to the last two years of the Taft administration, house of répresentatives, which orig- inates ‘appropriations, was in control of the democrats on account of the by- elections; that they went into caucus and voted ‘No battleships.' caucus on patriotism, the people by some of the DPipers at my request, the caucus and obtained, very grudg- ingly, from the democrats oné battle- ship for each of the remaining two vears. Scores Two Battleship Plan, “Thé war and the campaign of edu- cetion on national defense, has influ- placed before leading énced congress in making more liberal | appropriationg, but the third battle- ship Mr, Daniels obtained was made possible by the =ale of the Idaho and Mississippi to Greece, using theé fund | derived from this transaction for an additional dreadnaught, But the Idaho and Mississippi were hoth mod- ern ships, built in 1604, and while President Wilson's sale was a good business transaction, it will not, ap- parently, inérease our tonnage. It should alss be noted that the Indiana, Masgsachusétts and Oregon can no longer be included in our tonnage list; that the Iowa, Kearsarge, and Alabama will reach their age limit in 1916, while the Tllinois, Wis- consin, Maine," Ohio and Missouri are due for replacement by 1020, as bat- tleships become obsoleté in twen: vears. Tt is obvious, therefore, that a policy pursued according to this Vyear's program of two battleships with certain auxiliaries, no scout cruisers and no battle-cruisers, will lead no- where if it js the real purpose of the nation to have ap adequate navy, for we are not even following a program of new construction intended to re- place those vessels which have been or will soon be condemned because unfit for service on account of age. “Whilé, as thé secretary has stated, the navy is today recruited to its maximum strength (which ix due to | the decreased demand for labor in various lines of trade through United States), yet the commander in chiet of the fleet, in a communieca- tion to the Naval academy, gives the opinion that the fleet locks in its com- plete equipment about five thousand men and a number of officers, To put all the ships in commission that could ber useful in-time of war, would require eighteen thousand additional men and many officers, according to Admiral Badger in his evidence before the naval committee this wintér; and vet, in his letter the secretary assures the public that the navy in 19815 is larger, better equipped and in better condition than in any previous year, while experts know that this is impos- sible, since many of the battleships have been retained so long in Mexico that fleet manoeuvring, vital for ef- ficlen¢y, has been terribly hampered and interferred with, Speed, Range and Armament, “The naval conflicts of the Euro- pean war have emphasized the im- portance of speed, range and arma ment. Theé Blucher, faster than any of our ships, was destroyved because she was slower than any of the other ships in the confilet. Yet we are building no fast cruisers or battle- cruisers.” The sécretary, in his en- thusiasm over our fourteen-inch guns, which he says will shoot farther, shoot straighter and hit harder than any naval gun now in use, overlooks the fact that Japan has in commission and bullding eight naval ships with fourtéen-inch guns probably as good as our fourteen-inch guns, and that England has the Queen Elizabeth in commission with fifteen-inch guns, a battleship of over twenty-seven thou- sand tons, with a speed of twenty- five knots, and nine other capital ships buflding with fifteen-inch guns. “The war has demonstrated the need and value of air-craft, The general board recommended the ap- propriation of flve millions of dol- lars, but only one-fifth of the amount was obtained. “In view of the increasing number of submarines and the accident in Hawaii, there is urgent necessity for terting and wrecking docks that may be used for salving submarines of any size, docking submarines and testing to determine the resistance to external water pressure. Two docks of this description will be required for the Atlantic and two for the Pacifie, Sapply Ship Important. “Upon the efficacy of the supply ships depends the efMcacy of the fleet. The importance of supply ships kas also been demonstrated in this war. One was authorized in 1913, It would have been nearly completed by this time if built under contract, but it is to be constructed in one of our navy yarde, and it has not yet been 1aid down! “Without ample coal and oil stor- age at distant bases, in the absence of & large merchant marine to insure a continuous supply of fuel, the range that the | It was on | the isgue that no party ¢ould afford to | that we broke | Kentucky | tae | et TDONT BE DECEIVED If you fel exhausted and weak or tire easily,doen’t try to brace up on liguor or some patent medicine that wil produce the same effect.

The real strengih of the fleet ix the com- bination ‘of its personnel (with their 8kill and training) and its material, and of these two elements the more important, the personnel, is too often forgotten and neglected in making provisions for our fleet.’ One of the basic troubles at the present moment is the demoralization: which has heen golng on of our personmnel and which fs not taken into account. Further, it {8 poor cconomy to bulld battle- ehips without making, as we are do- | ine now, a proper provision for the ir.crease required in personnel, as is the approved practice in other coun- tries. “The difficulty in the ' administra- tion of the navy at the present mo- | ment is due to the fact that the ,or- genization in force for four years fcunded on a plan to a great extent the outcome of Admiral Mahan's ideas, has Peen disrupted and disor- | sanized without consulting experts, and nothing has been put in its place.
