The general health OF the flock was

DANIELS DEPL0RES THE
LACK OF RELIGION IN NAVY
Secretary Of the Navy Wishes
Number of ChapIains on
Vessels Increased.

Newport News, Va, Nov. o.
Neglect of religion by the Unitet
States in its navy is reproach tt
the republic, Secretary Daniels de-
clared here today in an address
before the United Brotherhood ol
Mems Bible classes. The secretary
announced he would ask congress
Immediately to provide chaplains
and welfare secretaries proportionate
to the 1avy's personnel. Twenty.
four chaplains, he said, are all that
the government now provides to
look after the welfare of the navy'S
81 900 men, the number OF chap
lains not having been increased
since 1842, when the personnel Of
the navy numbered only 1900
men.
The secretary added that more
than seventy-five important ships
in the navy have no religious leader
attached, while the marine corps,
with an enlistment Of 1926 men,
has not single chaplain to look
after the spiritual development of
its personnel.
i do not expect congress to au-
tllorize the appointment of enough
chaplains to assign one to every
Ship" M. Daniels said, but | do
believe the number will be substan-
TALLY increased. And | shall urge
that besides the additional chap
lains, that congress appropriate a
sufficient sum to enable the Secre-
tary to engage enough capable young
religious leaders so that upon every
ship there will be either a chaplain
or a welfare secretary"
1t is proposed to have the welfare
secretaries on the ships perform
duties similar to those of secretaries

that fell before picking and those
that were picked early and an idea
