DAILY SHORT STORY.

I Daphne, and for a moment the Iashes
lifted themselves.
Bobby laughed quickly. No" he said,
but / think had better do so, since We
seem not to be wanted here" He nodded
| to his father and hers. The two men had
forgotten house and everything connect
ed with them while they scanned the past

Woodward and are having the time OF
our lives"
VIII II" exclaimed Bobby mentally,
and with great alacrity he took his soft
hat from the hook and plloted Daphne
from the Office.
What a delightful suburb" Daphne
said as she caught sight of the trees that
had been preserved even at the expense
of traffic and the shining bay at the foot
OF the road down which Bobby was lead
ing her. She glanced at her escort and
thought him as good to look upon as any
one upon whom her eyes had rested. She
wondered IL he was married or in any
way attached. Daphne blushed at her
own mental attitude regarding Bobby
Wakefield
We are fond of the Manor" he told
his eyes. The swimming and boating
are great-and the dances, See that club
house. he said. pointing to the old white
shingled house with its mass of wistAria
over the ancient door. We have ripping
dances there" He turned suddenly to-
ward Daphne. Il hope you and your
husband will join the club; that is. II you
decide to live in the Manor
My husband" exclaimed Daphne with
wide-open eyes. Il haven't any hus-
band"
But you're going to have, aren't your
Bobby was conscious OF certain Brun
tones in his voice that startled even him
self.
Il most certainly hope to some day
Daphne said, with a most ravishing
blush.
But you are engaged, and your father
is buying a house for you for a wedding
present. aren't you. isn't he?' Bobby be-
came all mixed up in speech as well as
manner, and Daphne had the grace to
blush a second time.
Papa is buying me a home, but
haven't found the congenial man yet He
only wants me to have a home that will
be all that I ever desire, and he Is anxious
that we find Il soon" She glanced swift
" at Bobby Wakefield, and the light In
his blue eyes brought the third blush
rushing into her checks.
Bobby gazed shamelessly at Daphne
and reveled in her beauty.
And in the real estate office Of Wake |
field & Son the two old friends continued
to chat, and simultaneously they glanced
at the setting sun that was turning tne
bay TO a sheet Of copper gold.
':It takes considerable time to look over |
a bit of property" commented Wood |

Wakefield, meeting the glance, laughed |
heartily.

mo: because three other nations
have made greater advances than we
have in the development OF their
nayies."
Representative Hobson asked IL the
scientific method Of battle would be to
control the sea should this nation be-
come involved.
i'In the event Of war" said Admiral
Fiske, "our policy would have to be to
endeavor to get control Of the sea- II
we were TO attack the enemy, We would
try TO get control near him: IL we
were attacked by the enemy, he would
try to get control near US. Control is
essential wherever the tight may be.
Must Use All Our Ships.
In attempting to get this control, we
would have to use all the arms we could
-battleships. cruisers, scout cruisers. de-
stroyers. and on our own coasts sub
marines. I do not know whether We
could take submarines as far as Japan; |;
that Is q question"
Il think you had better not mention
any particular nation demonstrated
Chairman Padgett at Admiral Fiske's
reference to Japan. Admiral Fiske then
changed his reply to foreign waters"
Following Admiral Fiske's sensational
statement regarding the length of time
needed to make the navy efficient, Rep
resentative Roberts asked II this country
were plunged into war would we not
be forced to handle our navy In a hap-
hazard fashion,"
That Is true" said Admiral FIske.
who had moment before referred to
the fact that this country has no body
corresponding to the admiralty Of Great
Britain.

ADMIRAL FISKE SAYS U. s. NAVY FAR BEHIND
THOSE OF OTHER COUNTRIES IN PREPAREDNESS

Admiral Fiske asserted that only
tWenty-one battleships, Of all the naval
vessels, are now equipped with trained
officers and men. He then made this
significant statement regarding the de-
ficiencies In gunnery:
"As to these twenty-one ships meeting
twenty-one ships In a stand-up battle, we
are pretty well on. perhaps. The trouble
foresee ls that the training in gunneFy
on board ships Of our antagonists may
have been better than ours. MaySe GRis
would not be so. but q very small difrer-
ence In gunnery could turn the scale OF
battle
"A country that ! have in mind now
has a gunnery system more thorough and
scientific than ours, and after long
thinking over the subject / regret to say
that I believe this country's gunnery Is
better than ours. 1 regret to say II, and
hope It is not true, but would bet that
way"
Admiral FIske did not mention the
country he had In mind but he had pre-
viously spoken of the efficiency Of the
German navy and its recent feats.
Lacks Coherent Plan.
Another trouble with the American
navy, he added, was the lack of a CO.
herent plan OF organization which other
nations work out in advance of war
fare. These plans, he said, are mill
tary. a word not liked in this country.
Nevertheless, he explained, this coun-
try will be handicapped by lack of an
organization which does not map out
In advance what each man and ship
Is to do instantly in event of trouble
The House Naval Committee voted
yesterday to close its hearings on the
naval bill after Admiral FIske and
Representative Gardner, of Massachu-
setts, have testified. Mr.. Gardner will
be heard today. Four members Of the
committee, Representatives Roberts,
Hobson, Farr. and Kelly, voted to hold
further hearings.
