PERIOD OF INSTRUCTION
FOR APPRENTICE SEAMEN
Secretary Daniels Announces Course
of Six Months of Academic and
Professional Training.

Apprentice Seanen in the future will re-
ceive six months academic and profess
sional instruction at naval training sta
tions instead of four months as hereto
fore. In announcing this change today
Secretary Daniels said it marks an ex-
tension of the general educational plan OF
the navy. While the work afloat will be
continued the longer shore prepare tion
will make it necessary for the men. once
they are transferred to the fleet, to be-
gin work Immediately upon the higher
branches. chiefly those relating to strict
ly professional and technical subjects.
Plans Elaborated.
Further outlining his plans, Mr.. Dan
iels said:
Practically all of the recruits for the
naval service are Immediately upon en-
listment sent to the four training stations
located at Newport, r. l.: Norfolk, Va;
Great Lakes, ILL.,, and San Francisco. Cal.

tions at these stations make it possible
to carry on academic education in q
more systematic way than is practicabl
or possible on board ship. and their re-
tention at them for a period Of six months
permits of an extension of their academic
work to an extent that will be very val
liable.
Officers Detailed as Instructors.
young officers who are not long out of
the Naval Academy, and sre therefore in
close touch with the habits and methods
of study and instruction, are detailed to
each station to assist with the education
and training of these newly enlisted men;
in addition to these young officers. eN
perienced warrant and skilled officers and
petty officers are also detailed for the
work, with the result that a surprising
development takes place in the young re-
cruits in the period of few months fol-
lowing their enlistment"

Optimism or Pessimism Is
Question Which Commands
Attention of British.
NEW EXPRESSIONS ADDED
TO ENGLISH VOCABULARY
Those Who See Gloomy Prospect Are
Classed as Dismal Jimmies'
and "A. I. LIS"

Correspondence OF the Associated Press.
LONDON. November 13.-Among the
new expressions which the war has
added to the British voca bulary are the
Dismal Jimmies" and the "A. l. LIS. =
The latter is an abbreviation of what
a popular writer calls the "All is lost
brigade" They. with the Dismal Jim
miles," are the people who take a
gloomy view of the war.
Whether optimism or pessimism over
the prospect is the most profitable
frame of mind for the nation in these
days is a question much debated in the
newspapers. Undoubtedly optimism is
the view which the government encour-
ages. Most of the newspapers follow
the same policy.
There are two faces to the picture
Of course, the government wants the
nation to sleep comfortably OF nights
as Lord Fisher of the admiralty once
declared it could do so far as the navy
is concerned. On the other hand. the
vital business of recruiting hourishes
best in the darkest hours. Every an
nouncement of a bad British reverse
has been followed by a boom in re-
cruiting, while the men who are un-
decided whether to enlist hold back
as long as they think they are moi
needed.

Committee a Partisan Body.

1--WE realize that the present commit
tee on rules has hitherto reflected with
unusual nicely the attitude of the ad-
ninistration, of which you are a part.
Suppose that the atmosphere becomes
surcharged with the idea that the
President deprecates all discussion OF
our military and naval defenses, is ii q
fair presumption that the committee on
rules will summon army officers TO
testify at my request" Yet. without the
consent of the committee on rules there
is no way under the sun by which my
resolution can he brought to vote IN
the House of presentatives-a fact
less well known to the public than II
is to u.s. who are in the public's pay.
IF the House of Representatives sees
no need of a commission of inquiry and
votes down the resolution, well and
good What those of us who are inter-
etsed in this matter are trying to guard
against is d possible effort to deprive
the resolution OF it's day in court by
embalming it in the most inaccessible
archives of the committee on rules.
LAS Il matter of fact We do not be-
lieve that this resolution can be beaten
except by preventing ii from coming
to a vote. At least there can be no im-
propriety in our asking you to help
us see to it that this issue is square j.
met and not defeated by silence or IN
action.

others that their existence is fully ac-

physical conditions of Mars have been
presented this summer. These Indicate
that Mars does not contain large masses
of land like our continents. but that her
dry surface is broken up into multitudeS
of islands. This peculiar distribution OF
land forms a great contrast to the eartn
that planet from any of the irrigation
problems to be solved on this earth.
Each of the more important planets
is attended by one or more satellites
The satellites of Jupiter have been
considered the most important of these

Der of years have been favorite study

be credited with the discovery OF the
ninth satellite of Jupiter. which was

tory July II by Astronomer Seth B.

tory. Whether or not it will reach the
earth is problematical. Astronomers
believe that the cloudy nebulae are
really immature suns which will finally
condense and become suns and may
have planets accompanying them. The
gases will condense after thousands
of years. and the nebula will then be
in form to have an orbit of it's own.
The transit of Mercury which took
place upon November was pHeHoi!le-
non which attracted wide attention
from the amateur astronomers or the
country. 1t had little practical value.
although some computations were
made from it which. it is thought. may
help in determining more exactly the
true position of Mercury in the solar
system. The observations of the tran
sit of Mercury have also been examined
by the Nautical Almanac Office for the
purpose of finding out whether the ro-
tatioa time of the earth on its axis Is

was brightest May "a, and by July 1
had passed out of sight. The Zlatin-
sky comet had an interest to amateurs
because it was visible to the naked
eye of close observer. and was studied
considerably by the astronomical
classes of some of the state universi-
ties.
Prof Leon Campbell of the Harvard
station at Arequipa, Peru, located an
other comet September -, which be-
came telescopically visible in south
western United States September %. 1t
was first observed in this country upon
that date by Prof. Haggerty at Las
Cruces. n. NJ, and by the observatories
in California about the same time
In addition to these new comets,
which have been we'll advertised and
observed by many amateurs and lay
men as well as astronomers, a number
of others previously discovered have
been visible at different periods of the
year. The one of greatest Importance
is the Encke comet Cone of the twenty
periodic comets known to the world)
which has reappeared this year and
will be visible several months, though

shortest time of revolution of any
known. 1t has also for some period
seemed to show a progressive shorten

sisting medium perhaps in the vicinity

Blames the Public.

The Times declares that If the news
papers fail to give a well-balanced view
of events the public is largely to blame.
1t says:
ANY attempt to discuss unpleasant
factors with frankness produces storms
of protest from indignant Britons. Let
ters pour in complaining that such
candid writer's are dark siders' or
'panic-mongers' or dismal Jimmies.' or
whatever may be the popular epithet of
the moment. But it must be
added that for the general tendency of
the newspapers to publish only good
news the government and not the press
is solely to blame.
1.-The newspapers publish good news
because as a rule they are not allowed
to publish bad news. The gov
ernment has taken over control OF the
functions of newspapers as collectors
and purveyors Of news. and on the
whole the control is being exercised
with extreme inefficiency. In spite of
all protests it steadily tends to grow
more rigid"
The Times specifies the silence of the
colonial office regarding events in East
Africa and other overseas areas as an
example of unsatisfactory conditions,
but concludes that the public has
throughout been furnished with a
broadly accurate impression OF the
progress of the war. though often an
unduly belated one.

Question of Voluntary Appear
ance Put SquareIy Up to
Secretary Garrison.
GARDNER DESIRES LIGHT :
ON MILITARY STRENGTH
Bay State Representative Reluctant
to Have Experts Summoned by
House Committee.

Representative Gardner of Massachu-
sets, author of the resolution to in
Hestlgate the offensive and defensive
strength of the United States. puts UP
to Secretary of War Garrison the ques-
tion of whether or not the officers OF
the army VIII be ordered to testify
before congressional committee. Rep
resentative Gardner points out that the
secretary of War in a recent open let
ter on the subject takes the view that
II the committee on rules wants to
hear from army officers it can subpoena
them. the responsibility being with tn.
committee. Representative Gardnef
evidently wants the voluntary testi-
mony of the army experts. and asks
the Secretary of War to aid him in get
ting it. The letter of Representative
Gardner puts the question in a new
light, and says, in part:
Il am prepared to admit that ! am
especially anxious for the public testi-
mony of our army and navy officers be
cause ! believe that the facts which
they are sure to disclose will be so
astonishing as to challenge the atten-
tion of the country and force the hand
of Congress in case ii is reluctant to
grasp the nettle of adequate expendi-
ture for our safety.
Put Squarely Up to Garrison.
Now, to put it a little bluntly. the
question arises, Will you authorize the
appearance witnesses of the army
officers whom l have invited" Your
open letter is not quite clear on that
point. In fact, / was a little concerned
to notice that you pointed out the fact
that the committee on rules has the
right to summon any officers whom IL
sees fit to summon. Incontestably that
is true: but l am somewhat apprehen-
siye that your emphasis of the fact
may signify belief on your part that
the responsibility ought to rest with
the committee on rules rather than
with the Secretary of War. 1t surely
would be quite unusual to require a
summons from the committee, would 1t
not?
II cannot remember that l ever heard
to ask committee to pass resolu-
unless, perchance, they showed reluc-
tance to testify voluntarily. 1 certain
ly hope that you will not insist on any
such condition before you authorize the
officers of the army to testify.
Let us be plain. Is il likely that the
committee on rules will adopt reso-
luton summoning the army officers
whom l have invited? Is it not de-
sirable at all hazards to keep this
question from being dragged into the
vortex of party politics? We in Wash
ington all know that the committee on
rules is today and has been always a
party instrument. no matter which
party is in power.

Autocrat of War.

Rightly or wrongly, those on the in
side of government affairs and in the
newspaper offices place the response
bility for the governments policy in
the matter of publicity wholly on the
shoulders of Lord Kitchener. *. as
the head of the war Office is popularly
called. is credited with being the auto
crat of the war. He took his Office with
the proviso that he must have a free
hand, according to general belief, and
that hand has proved to be hand OF
iron without any velvet glove.
In all of Britain's little wars the
war correspondent at the front has
played a part second only to that of the
general. Lord Kitchener has barred
Correspondents from the front entirely.
and no other feature of the war oftce
policy has caused SO much grumbllns
by the public The people want TO
know where the regiments in when
their friends and relatives have enlisted
are sent and what they are doing. A
few organizations, notably the London
Scottish, have achieved fame already.
and many write to the newspapers
complaining that injustice has been
done to others with equally hne eX-
n1oits to their credit.
