WASHINGTON, Nov. 22.-Rear Ad
miral r. c. Hollyday, Chief of the
Bureau of Yards and Docks of the
United States Navy, made a strong
plea for more extensive improvements
at insular stations and for a higher
standard in the maintenance of home
navy yards in his annual report to
the Secretary of the Navy. No ex-
tensive improvements, he says, have
been made during the last year at the
insular stations.
The estimates for navy yards and
stations recommended to be submitted
to Congress at it's coming session are
as follows:
Public works, including repairs and

yards and docks, $1,5OO,OOO contin-
gent yards and docks, 100000; total,

The need for additional dry docks
IS urged, the increased size of vessels
lnder construction being cited as an
especial reason for liberal appropria-
ions to supply that want All of the
principal yards, Admiral Hollyday
states, should have structures of suf-
icient capacity to dock the largest
'essels likely to be built within the
lear future.

Let us first pay tribute to the mem

ourselves to renewed and redoubled
Ievotion to the principles for which
