SECRETARY DANIELS
 IS SUCCESSFUL IN
 POPULARIZING NAVY.

Secretary of the Macy Daniels, who has taken many steps since he has been in the cabinet to popularize the United States navy, is confronted at present with the task of further in- creasing the personnel of his depart ment. Many of the American battle ships are not equipped with full crews and few of the ships have hardly enough men to man them. The build ing of battIeships has increased faster than the enlistment Mir Daniels is endeavoring to change this, especially since the European war has brought home to the public Americas unpre- paredness for war. There are aDout 51, 900 men in the navy at present, of whom 95 per cent. are native born. Thousands more are needed and will be recruited.

Tx. Vardaman of the yitrio-

to show his ignorance by at
tacking the Negro again this
week in the Senate. 1t seems
chat the temptation to slur the
almost friendless and defend
less Negro in the August SEN
ate is almost irresistible by
some of the wise Southern
Gentlemen, whose inflated IN
telligence is due to Negro
labor and physical endurance.
Here are their arguments;
They begin along this wise: a
northern paper defended dis
crimination. "A Negro IS

that all persons with bald

Recently Louisville, Ky.'
