Naval Board Views
to Go to Congress

WASHINGTON. Jan, 6.-When
congress takes up the consideration
OF appropriations after its recess,
says a statement from the Navy
league. it will have before it for the
first time the reasons given by its
duly accredited naval experts for
the creation OF a navy of a given
size. The general board of the navy
, has been in existence for fourteen
yaar, and for eleven Of those years
has been recommending a definite
naval policy and has been cNplain-
Jig the reasons for that policy. But
| the public is now given its first OPP
%rortunity to weigh that policy and
determine whether or not the rea-
o N for it are sound.
The general board of the navy was
created in 1000 for the purpose OF
shaping general policies for that
great department. The duties 81
the navy department were execu-
tive. 1t had many things to do but
there was no provision for a think
ing organization to determine poll
CltH. lie general Dodlu was Cltdt-
ed for this purpose.
Since its creation the board has
had as its head George Dewey. the
only admiral of the navy. -Four
rear-admira1S who have gained for
themselves distinction as naval
statesmen, support him. They are
AdmiralS c. F. Vreeland, w. H. II.
Switzerland. \. NJ. Knight and r. A.
Fiske. In addition to these are Cap
tain A. G. Winterhalter. T. s. Rod
gers, F. S. Knapp. John Hood AMI
w. R. Shoemaker, all men Of proven
worth in the command Of ships.
The general board took three |
years after its creation to lay down |
a building program that in its judg-
ment should be followed hat the
nation should be in a position to eN- /
tend its trade. maintain its eStab-
lished policies, and effectively de
fend itself against attack. In 1908 i;
reported upon this building pro

a year with a third ship each third
year. With an understanding of the
probable growth OF the fleets Of the
world it looked seventeen wears into J
the future and arranged its program
to develop a fleet of forty-eight cap
ital ships by 1920. Its program, i
followed. would have resulted in
that number Of ships. Other nationSi

bringing the nav up to the >tand-

PITIFUL CONDITION
OF THE STRIKERS
Starvation and Freezing is the Christ

pie Of Ohio.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.1
CLEVELAND, Ohio, Dec. 11.-Un-
less relief on a large scale comes to
the devastated strike region OF eastern
Ohio within seven days. thousands OF
striking coal miners and their fam
flies viii face Christmas day in a
starving condition. They are all but
starving now-and freezing.
This word from Barton, Ohio, the
relief supply station Of the mine strike
! zone today sent relief societies in a
score OF Ohio cities preaching the Cos
pei that charity begins at home. :
Practically every city in the state
donated for Belgium's destitute. To-
day they were asked to give for the
wounded of Industry's warfare in
Ohio. Starvation is the weapon of this
war. Unlike Colorado and West Viz
g1nia there has been no gun play.
The freezing chill-of genuine winter
was today over the mining distsict..
Four-ffths Of the homes made PEN
niless by the strike nine months ago
are tasting starvation. There are
twenty thousand little children vic
Tins. MIR thousand at least are
without proper nourishment and cloth
ing.
Half this number are actually bare
foot. There are eight Thousand wom-
en-mothers almost to soul. Mother
love for offspring has Jared even
worse than offspring. There are 49,
600 fathers-all rough men OF the
mines. They are bearing the battle
with stole determination and accept
ing pitifuI small benefits of the union
silently. Rumors were abroad today
that some Of these men may desert
the union and go back to the mines
for a smaller wage than the union de-
mands. New babies are being born IN
the district at the rate OF nine each
week. Many are born to die through
the windows of homes, young children
horn in better days, are seen with the
ninch OF starvation printed on their
faces. The commissary stores OF the
mine companies have been doing ousi-
ness on a cash basis since the mines
closed. Three dollars week Is the
union benefit. Potato soup and musn
three times day-in many instances
1ess-has held body and soul together

ner for thousands. ~
