LONGS APPROVAL
SECRETARY OF THE NAVY IS OF
THE OPINION
That Something Over . Million and 4 halt
Should be Expended at the Puget Sound
Navy Yard the Coming Year-Some OF
the Chief Items Of Expenditure-A Great
Year for Puget Sound Navy Yard.

Seattle, Oct. IA Washington special
to the Post-lntelligencer, says:
The secretary OF the navy has approved
estimates of appropriations for improve
ments at Puget Sound navy yard for the
next fiscal year amounting to 81, 545,-
7O7. 40. This is about three times the
amount recommended a year ago for
improvements at this navy yard during
the current fiscal year. The recent
recommendation OF Capt. Burwell, COM
mandant of the yard, for the additional
drydoclS is not adopted by Secretary
Long in his official estimates, but this
does not prevent special recommendation
being made to congress later in the year,
provided friends OF the Puget Sound yard
should prevail on the secretary to take
such action. Other large projects OF such
nature as recommended, however, will
make, if adopted, the next year the
greatest period in the history OF the
Puget Sound navy yard.
Among the new measures proposed is
the building of boat shop for construc-
ton and repair at a cost of $l5O,OOO, q
store house for bureau supplies and
accounts for 100000, rigging and sail
lofts for 1920, 900, naval magazine $780,.
600, improvements to the steam engineer
ing plant to cost 1925, 900, and other
items of first Importance.
The estimates bear ont fully the recent
expressions of bureau chiefs of the navy
department, especially Admirals Endi-
colt, Bradford and Melville, in which
they attached first Importance to the
Puget Sound establishment and prom
Used to ask for large appropriations.
The estimates also provided for liberal
increase of the clerical force of the yard.

TIE WEDDING AT THE 8AGUg.

The eyes of the world are largely turned to-
day from funeral 10 a wedding. The sad
solemnities OF London and Windsor give place
10 the festivities Of The Hague. For this there
is ample reason. Men live In the present. not
in the past The incident of yesterday is his
tory, but that OF to-day is current life. More
over regardless OF the intrinsic or the compara-
tive importance Of events. men naturally nav
readiest attention 10 those which most strongly
appeal 10 their own sympathes. and they there
fore prefer TO dwell upon joy rather than upon
sorrow. We have the admirable authority Of
Emerson for the statement that AL mankind
love a lover" and happily in the present case
there are two real lovers presented as OBJ
jects of the worlds regard. Even the realm
which is now in so deep mourning must have
some memory of a wedding which in its salient
circumstances strikingly resembled this. sixty
one years ago. and may thus join with the rest
Of the world in wishing happiness 10 the young
royal bride.
