To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: | think you are very hard on
Secretary Daniels. He is evidently
trying to do his little best, and who
could expect him to know anything
about naval affairs?
He has abolished the drink practice,
gun practice, squadron practice and
fleet practice and is trying to reform,

DON'T ROCK THE BOAT"
A Reader Criticises The Tribune tor
Giving Way to Hysteria.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: In spite Of your protestations OF
sincerity one is forced to question the
patriotism of The Tribune in its cam
paign for bigger army and navy.
I'm one editorial this morning you
point out the alleged inefticlency. OF
our navy. In another you complain
bitterly of increased taxation and OF
the extravaganza of Congress.
Yet is your position consistent?
More than two-thirds of the revenue
has been expended on preparation Tor
war. Surely the Appropriation OF
S256. 00O. 900 this year for the mill
tary branch of our Government must
be approved by The Tribune. You must
be proud that 60 cents of every dollar
is expended for the army and navy.
You ought to thrill with pride at the
thought that we spend more than
France, with pensions more than Ger
many, and more on the navy than any
other nation eXceDt Great Britain.
This sudden hysteria at the thought OF
war that is sweeping the Eastern part
of our nation is responsible for acts
of Congressman like the following:
Representative Ware, of Pennsyl-
vania, introduced bills this afternoon
proposing purchase of five dirigibles,
/ fftv armored automobiles, fifty field
artillery pieces and twenty siege guns
/ for the army and twenty-five aero
planes. twenty-five hydroplanes and
I ten submarines for the navy"
/ One would hone that in these super
7 sensitive times The Tribune would not
give way TO hysteria. that it would not
allow blind. mischievous partisanship
to arouse vague fears. Let us find out
whether or not we have been getting
a dollars worth for dollar. Let us
make our present army ard navy more
efficient. But let us keen our heads.

KENNEY' 5 DESIRE
TO BE CHAIRMAN

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER. Del, Sept. 19-That all
was not serene at the REORGANIZATION
of the Democratic State Committee on
Wednesday is evident from story
now going the rounds in Democratic
circles. According to that story, the
opposition to the reelection of
Thomas f. Bayard as State chairman
and to Benjamin A. Hazel as vice
chairman was so pronounced that
Senator Willard Salisbury had to
take a trip into Kent county to
straighten out the situation and bring
about the reelection of the old Off
GERS.
There had been murmurs that
Chairman Bayard would have oppo-
sition for reelection, and it is said
that the opposition came from Former
Senator Richard R. Kenney and his
friends.
As the story now is going the rounds,
kenney was not averse to being chair
man himself, and it is said many of the
committeeman were lining up for Ken
ney and against Bayard for chairman.
The fight also was carried against Mr..
Hazel for vice-chairman, it is said.
Friends of Mr.. Bayard and Mr.. Hazel.
whose reelection was desired by SEN
ator salisbury, are said to have be-
come alarmed. The senator had Just
returned from his vacation in Maine,
and it is said he was apprised of the
situation and made a trip to Dover and
to points in the county. AS a result
Mr. Bayard and Mr. Hazel were re-
elected and the senator again put a
crimp in the aspirations of Colonel
Kenney.
The activities of former Senator
Kenney are causing some Democrats
much concern, and all is not as
peaceful as might be supposed. In
the first place. friends of Congress-
man BrOckson were suspicious of
Kenney prior to the State conven-
ton. Some Of them had an idea that
Kenney was a BrOckson man when
among Brockson supporters, and was
anti-Brockson when among the Mil
ford hundred and other opponents of
] the Congressman's denomination
This, coupled with the report that
Kenney was trying to get the State
craftsmanship. has caused some feel
ing among the Democrats here.

PERMANENT PEACE
THE WORLD OVER
IS WILSON 5 HOPE

By The United Press.
WASHINGTON, Sept. l9-"Watch-
full waiting" President Wilson's policy
In Mexico, has become his policy to-
wards European peace. This became
known officially today From a source
ln closest touch with Mr.. Wilson, it was
learned his ambition now is for a per
manent peace. not alone in Europe, but
throughout the world.
He does not want a truce that would
merely halt the lighting for month or
two, only TO have it break out again
more violently. His position was ana
lyzed I'M the terse comment that he
viii not now put out TO the country
each morning peace when it is not IN
the cards" Application of peace meas
ures at this particular moment was lik-
ened by the President to treating a ser
ious disease with quack remedies.
Wilson, it is known, believes that it
will be far better for this nation to
come into active peace negotiations
only after the trend of Europe's war
has reached a more decisive stage than
at present.
Semi official and informal negotiations
to date, it was pointed out today,
might have the effect of placing the
United States in an unfavorable light
with the allies. but the administration
held that no such outcome could result
from its friendly overtures to date.
That this government has had indeh-
nite assurances that a truce might be
effected at this time, it was interpreted
from statement that it might be pos
eible to have ga truce, but not peace
It was learned today that diplomatic
representatives here of the warring ma
