NEW, BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, THURSDAY, APRIL 13, 1016, FELT BY THE U. §. - Germany Ge{s ‘Greater Results From Less Money, Says Roden Washington, April 13.—To the lack of a general naval staff was attributed the unpreparedness of the American navy and its want of battle efficiency by E. K. koden of Scranton, Pa., in an address at todayv’s session of the ? Navy League of the United States. The speaker was discussing the sub- Jject. “Why we necd a navy general stair.” Mr. Roden declared that with an appropriation no greater than that ex- pended by the United States, Germany built up a navy thirty per cent. greater in combined units, but Wwhole, more modern in construecticn ®nd this ke attributed to the fact itas the German navy Is headed ‘“by a tried-out, efficient general staff. He asserted that although “during rast fifteen years congress has ap- more thnan a billion and a half doliars for the navy, a sum gre. Iy in excess of that by any other power except Great Britain, yet at the pres ent time our navy is rated as a fourth “ciass power. “Why is it that with an equal ap- propriation the German navy is to- day thirty per cent. greater than our own ' a d Mr. Roden. ‘Re- cause our lack of a real general staffl with full power to direct how the money appropriated by congress for the ravy shali be spent.” Final ion in such matters, he added, rcsts with congress, whose #embers have mneither the time nor the traimng necessary to decide those problems. : Skeleton, No Substance. speaker said that the act of of last year creating the office of chief of naval operations has pro- Vided only “a skeleton of a form. stripped of all substance.” + “We siill lack that legally consti- tuted office that shall have the power to co-ordinate all the military as dis- tinguished from the civil activities of all the various bureaus in the depart- ment, to the end that that office may be properly charged with full and sole responsibility under the secretary for the preparedness of the navy for war and its proper and efficient direction during the war. ~ "By providing a general staff to di- rect and control the navy under the authority of the president and the s retary of the navy,” Mr. Roden con- cluded, *‘congress would be following the step which every other great na. tion has long since taken. Our pres- ent law is a step in the right direc- tion, but it does not go far enough.” A paper prepared by Lieut Com- mander Henry C. Mustin, U. S. 2 on ““fhe Naval Aeroplane,” was read. Other speakers were Dr. Alexander Graham Bell, “Preparedness for Acrial Defense,” and Lawrence Y. Spear, who gave an illustrated lecture on “The Submarine,” The program for the afternoon ses- sion called for address by Franklin D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of the navy, on “Nav Personnel and the Reserve,” and Poultney Bigelow on “Our Foreign Relations and How Af- fected by the Navy. “OLD HOMESTEAD” "ON KEENEY’S SCREEN tl propriated Navy of The congr most Lmous With some of the members of the I ccmpan the Thompsson's rural classic: “The Old Homestead,” will be reproduced cn the screen at Kceney's tomorrow and Saturday, the piece getting the position of prominence on the photo- piay program.

Manufacturing consumers are covered for some months ahead and the fear of not be- ing able to get material for their oper- ations in the second half of the year is less a factor. The large increase shown in the Steel Corporation’s unfilled orders points to a continuance of the present strain for a good many months—that in the main is the judgment of the trade, and there it little attempt to appraise the factors in the advance from 8,569,000 tons of orders on Feb. 29 to 9,331,000 on March 31. The heavy March rail orders are generally thought of, but it is not known what part of them is included. A certain amount of possible steel consumption is being cut off by high prices, but apart from smaller buying of wire products the ultimate con- sumer has scarcely been heard from, and steel manufacturers have been too much driven to give heed to spe- cial appeals like that of the implement manufacturers. Negotiations of some of the latter for bars and special shapes for the second half show, how- ever, that they are not disposed to buy more than half to two-thirds their usual amount. Bars have brought as high as 2.85¢., Pittsburgh, in some re- cent transactions of this sort. Sellers of certain implements, on their part, are trving to get an advance for their products that will strike an average | between the low-priced steel of con- | tracts that are running out and the higher prices they have lately paid or | will soon pay. | Mills Reach Limit. ! Rail sales for 1917 have brought | some mills to the point of having dis- | posed of al the rails that can he rolled from the steel apportioned to | them for the full first half of 1917 and in one or two cases farther. More steel capacity will be coming along late this yvear and early next year and the rail mills will share in its output. | Meanwhile developments point, not to | fluctuating prices for rails, but to a new stabilized price, beginning with May, ranging $3 or $4 a ton above the $30 level for open-hearth rails. In the past week sales of 100,000 tons of rails for next Vvear have been | made in the Chicago distriet, | ing 40,000 tons for the Northern Pa- [ cific, The Pennsylvania order is ex- pected to be 1 000 to 200,000 tons. | The railroads are rapidly closing for | | their track fastenings for 191 . Among these contracts an interesting one is | for 10,000 kegs of oil-treated bolts for | the B. & O. The French State Railwa: S bought 4,000 cars of which 500 be built in the United States, ada got the larger placed in Spain, closed cars. have will Can- part and some were Domestic railroads in the week for about 4,500 Chicago Prices Advance. Little is to be said of price changes. Chicago sellers of bars and shapes advanced those products $2 a ton and plates $3 a ton, but there are no corresponding advances at Pitts- burgh. Western iron rolling mills ‘\\\-em slow to feel the effect of the tremendous demand for rounds of | the general steel bar market: but now for the first time in many months | they are filled up for seven or eight weeks ahead. The structural trade shows the an- omaly of bookings in March equal to 102 per cent. of the country’s fabri- | cating capacity for a month ana at the | same time aggressive bidding by large fabricators, particularly in the West, Sheet mills are overrun with bus- | Iness in their galvanized and blue an- nealed product, while black sheets are only in fair demand with prices weak | in comparison with every other de- partment of the market. Pittsburgh producers have shown little interest in recent efforts of for- eign buyers to place orders for bil- lets, rounds and forgings, They have simply had to put off considering new business of this character. A South- ern steel company has been offering some semi-finished steel for export over and above the requirements of its wire plant. At New York an in- quiry has come up for 100,000 tons of 8-in. shell forgings. March is rated by leaders in the pig- iron market as the month of record transactions in merchant iron, data gathered from Northern and Virginia furnaces indicating over 1,000,000 tons sold. - Prices are well held, but the rapid advances producers have pre- dicted await the coming of an urgent demand for spot iron such as has been seen at no time in the past vear's movement, NO RAID REPORTED ‘Washington, April 13—Despatches received early today at the navy de. partment from Admiral Winslow, commanding the Pacific fleet, mado no mention of a reported bandit raid upon Americans near Guaymas.

Irving White, one of the most popular players in the Cross com- bany at the Lyceum theater, has ten- dered his resignation as a member of the troupe, to take effect at the con- clusion of the final performance of “The Iron Master,” on Saturday even- ing of next week. This news will be received with regret by the local theatergoers, Mr. White has be- ceme immense liked by his excel- lent work since coming to thi city, at the beginning of the present seas- son. A lucrative offer to accept one of the leading parts in the Hartford theater, is the cause of Mr. White's departure from this city. Manager Thatcher, the New York representa- tive for Mr. Poli, has made several fine offers to the local man, who w: reluctant about accepting them, until he was certain that it would in no prove detrimental to Manager Cross; Since joining the Lyceum Players, the work of Mr. White has stood out in the fore, amping him as one of the most versatile performers that has ever appeared on a local stage in stock production.

This dividend brings the stock up to 18 per cent. for the yvear and this is an increase over a year ago and should strengthen the stock. e S. OF V. FOR PREPAREDNESS.
