OUR NAVY NOT STRONG ENOUGH
Evans Idea Is That W.
Have just Started In.

Have just Started In.
NEW YORK, July 31.-Our navy, ac-
cording to Rear Admiral Bob Evans,
in charge of the fleet of eight battle
ships lying in the North river, is not
large enough OF powerful enough to
meet any first class power in the world,
let alone a combination OF powers.
The navy is only begun" said he.
"We should, / believe, have a navy
large enough to meet any possible COM
bination of powers against us. We
need a navy SO large that we will never
use 1t in actual war.
"Our navy at present is not large
enough to meet one of the first class
powers. That is my personal opinion.
"Of course it is for the people of this
country TO say how large the navy shall
be. 1t is our business to fight with
whatever navy the people give us. We
will fight whether the navy is big or
little, but my own opinion is that it is
much too small now"
In contrast to the man at the head of
the fleet was the confident and patriot
ic utterance of Il blue jacket,
"Could the Japs whip us?" he was
asked. e S.4N
"Whip us?" he repeated, astonished,
sNeyer!"

Secretary Wilson Talks With
President of His Work.
PROBES AGRICULTURAL DEPARTMENT
Quietly hut Effectively Each Bureau
viii BE Observation-Disclosures Many
Employees Have Been Dropped.
Some Dismissed OUTRIGHT.

LN NI
OYSTER BAY, N. Y. July 81
President RooseveItw win withhold notlr
ing from the public in the exposures
made in the methods of the department
of agriculture and has ordered all evil
dence of Irregularities in any branch
Of the departments work sent tt the
department of justice.
The investigation Of Edwin S.
Holmes, Jr.. is only a beginning. At
'torney General Moody is to probe as
deep us the whole machinery of his de-
partment will carry him. Every step
in the gathering Of evidence is sent
Immediately to the president.
1t is felt here that disclosures far
more sensational will follow, but that
the president will not be deferred by
his warm friendship for Secretary VIII.
son from following every clew of de.
partmental incompetency to its legal
limit.
Secretary Wilson was a visitor at
Sycamore Hill today. His visit en-
abled him to discuss with the presi-
dent the situation in the department as
it relates to the Investigations now in
progress. All rumors of the intention
of Secretary Wilson to resign from the
cabinet may be put aside as merely
conjectural. The secretary has no
present intention Of leaving the cabi-
net, and the president knows of no rea
son why he should resign.
The president, it may be said, re-
poses implicit confidence in Secretary
Wilson and is thoroughly satisfied that
he will solve the difficulties now pre-
scented to the entire satisfaction of the
chief executive and of the country.
1t is the determination of both the
president and Secretary Wilson to clear
the department of agriculture of every
form of CRATER" To this end the
likelihood is that every bureau of the
department will be inquired into care
fully with a view, to ascertaining
whether any such condition exists as
was developed in the bureau of statis-
tics. Quietly but effectively Secretary
Wilson has been working to this end
for many months. Many employees of
the department have been dropped
from the rolls practically without the
knowledge Of the general public. Some
have been dismissed outright, while
others have been permitted to resign.
Assurance is given that nc stone will
be left unturned to eliminate every
faint of scandal on the department of
agriculture. 4

THE BOROUGH DOCK.

Considerable has been said concerning
the borough dock. There was an editorla |
in the Citizen and also an article headed,
''Tne Voice of the People," which said,
''Can it be possible that there is anyone
in the borough who would want to see
the borough pier destroyed? etc'', claim
ing that there ought to be a breathing
place for the poor people as we have no
park. We do not b.lieve there is anyone
who would really like to see it destroyed.
or even neglected in the way of repairs.
But 1t is an expensive substitute fol a
park, altho ugh thoroughly enjoyed by
the people summer evenings, SO they
must not Kick If they should find a
slight increase in their taxes.
