Mai Pullman. superintendent of
police. expects to put two "go-go"

Re-EnIistments Increasing
in the Navy Reserve Corps,
Ayers Secretary Daniels

While the reserve corps Of the navy
has not grown in accordance with ex-
pectations, Secretary Daniels said to-
day. 1t Is now too large for any one to
attempt to give a dinner for the men,
bers. However, the law providing for
this reserve corps. he asserted. had
stimulated -enlistments enormously.
Since the law became operative the re-
enlistments have increased from % to
rs per cent, according to the Secretary
of the Navy.
the reserve corps, the Secretary be-
lieves will not be felt for some time.
The trouble at this time. he says, is due
to the fact that after man has been
in the service for some time and then
has gone ashore to settle down and
surround himself with family he does
not want to be called away for month
to go cruising aboard ship of the
navy. The mistaken idea seems to pre-
vail among this class Of naval reserve
desirables that they will be called out
for a months practice cruising each
year to keep them In trim. This is en-
tirely wrong, as the law merely autho
rizes the navy to call these men out
for practice drills and does not specify
every year.
Regulars to Enter Corps.
The good feature of the law and that
thing else to develop the reserve corps
is the provision for transferring the
long service men. those who have been
In the regular navy for from fifteen to
twenty years, to the reserve corps. This
is the feature which is stimulating re-
enlistments, according to Secretary
Daniels.
When a man has been in the navy for
a wear he becomes a very valuable as
set and every year he stays in he Is
worth Just SO much mose money to the
government, because of the technical
Character of the work. For six months
after his enlistment he is sent. to
school at one Of the big training sta
tions. scattered at advantageous ports
about the country. and there he re-
/ he is sent aboard a ship. where he
learns the various details of naval
work under practice conditions, usually
taking up some special line. He may
become a machinist. gun pointer. a
! quartermaster. or get any one of the
number of rates. This makes him a
very valuable asset. and makes him
especially valuable in time Of war. II
you can call upon him.

Damage estimated at $4,000 was
done by fire in the mattress and bed

west this morning. The fire was dis

volumes of dense smoke were pour

when the tiremen arrived, and it ap-
peared as If a large portion of the
olock was doomed. Many streams of
water soon were playing in and upon
the burning structure, but the burning

Flames leaped across a narrow alley

shutters covering the windows Of the

from making its way into the building.
Slight fire damage was done to the

Diaz Said to Be in New York.

State Department oflcials today ad-
mitted hearing a rumor from Juarez
that Felix Diaz and 10000 Zapata
troops were menacing Mexico City. It
was said at the department that no
such number of Zapata troops had ever
been reported before as in the field,
and 1t was not credited. The Carranza
agency received telegram from one
had seen Felix Diaz In New York three
days ago. Villas friends here today
also said Diaz is in New York.
Messages also were received from
Mexico City by the Carranza agency
stating that the Zapata forces had dis

OF them had asked Gen Gonzales for

for more troops to combat the small

New Hydroplanes for Service.

Several new hydroplanes are expect
ed to be delivered to the naval flying
station at Pensacola. Fla, within a
month. It is believed they will have
a new type Of motor considerably more
dependable than the motors on the ma
chimes delivered year ago. Secretary
Daniels said today that motor troubles
had been the nightmare of the aero
plane man in the navy, and that every
possible effort is being made to over
come them. The Presidents advisory
commission on aeronautics, 1t Is be-
lieved, will have something to say on
this point soon. Secretary Daniels has
an engagement to see Secretary Wal
colt Of the Smithsonian Institution,
who Is chairman of the advisory board,
as soon as he returns to this city.
While considerable progress has been
made in naval aeronautics in the past
year. not as much has been accom-
plished as the department wished. The
motor troubles are held responsible for
much Of the delayed progress.

SCHOOLS MAY Be PUT
UNDER COMMISSIONERS
Adjustment Of Present Board Of
Education One of Pos
-... sibilities.

The board Of education may be abol-
ished, or. If it Is to continue. the ap-
pointment OF its members may be made
by the District Commissioners. accord
ing to a Recommendation which the
Commissioners are said to have fnclud-
ed in their requests to Congress this
year.
1t Is known that the Commissioners
are desirous that the schools should
be brought more directly under the
District government. and for several
years in the past the proposition of
bringing the control of the schools
into the hands of the Commissioners
has been given consideration.
Appointed by the Court.
Both the present method of appoint
ment of the board and the proposed
change, and for that matter, even the
entire abolition of the board, have
their separate advocates. The present
method of choosing members of the
board is through appointment by mem
bers of the Supreme Court of the Dis
triet
During the last few years steps have
been taken by the District authorities
to bring the management of the schools
as far as possible under the District
government. particularly as regards
the business end.
Business Methods Changed.
Methods of carrying on the statis-
tical, financial and other administrative
matters, of the schools have during the
last two or three years been so chang
ed as to correspond as far as possible
with the methods used in the District
building.
Although little has been said about 1t,
there has been a general feeling in
certain quarters that the schools are
being gradually linked more closely
with the District building. If the
schools are brought more directly
within the scope of the District officials
AS probably would happen If either
of the proposed changes should be
made-numerous changes undoubtedly
will follow, in the opinion of a number
of school authorities.

Only Eighteen Officers Now.

At present there are eighteen naval
officers who arc licensed niers, admit
tedly = very small number There are,
of course. other fiers who are in train
ing and some enlisted men who can
ny; but only eighteen officers have
completed the prescribed course and
have been given licenses, as laid down
In the law. The flying corps must
have officers. Of course, but to wait for
aviators to develop after having taken
an annapolis course Is too slow for
the Secretary. He believes that all
men born with the gift of being able
to handle an aeroplane ought to get
into the navy and should be allowed
to gain a commission. They would not
interfere with promotions in the rest
q the navy line in the least.

Secretary Daniels Plans for
Legislation to Admit Nom
Military Aviators.
COMMISSIONS FOR ALL
AS OFFICERS IN CORPS
Several New Hydroplanes, Probably
With New Type Of Motor, Soon
to Go Into Service.

Secretary Daniels has a plan
by which every civilian aviator in
the country can get into the navy
without going through Annapolis,
and hopes by enacting this idea
into legislation to draw to the
navy the best flying talent in this
country. 1t was learned today at
the Navy Department that Secre-
tary Danials will propose this
idea to Congress shortly after the
opening of the coming session,
and there are high hopes of it
being made a part of the naval
appropriation bill. At present
progress of the naval aviation
corps is blocked considerably by
the fact that there can be no Off
GERS in the corps except graduates
of the Naval Academy at An
napolis.
The Secretary believes that there are
scores of splendid young fiiers through
out this country who have a sixth
sense when 1t comes to handling a fly
ing machine. and that 1t would be wise
to admit these fiers to the navy for the
purpose of flying only. but that they
should be allowed to become officers
Of the flying corps. Will Irwin, war
correspondent, recently told Mr.. Dan
iels that the best fliers of the foreign
belligerent armies are very young men,
under twenty years old. Mr.. Daniels
was very much interested in the avia-
tion question and learned considerable
from Mr.. Irwin's observations abroad
