Daniels ASKS whole
nation To AID navy
Secretary Says Work Before Him Re-
quires Loyal Cooperation
of People.

Secretary Daniels yesterday issued
statement explaining that he had not In
tended to give the impression that he be-
lieved the mere creation Of board of in
ventor advisers would instantly make
the United States navy the best pre-
pared for war of any navy in the world
He pointed out that what he had meant
was that the organization Of such
board. and the utilization Of its talents.
would be a big step toward making the
navy more efficient
His statement was as follows:
My attention has been called to a
newspaper dispatch published generally
throughout the country in which I am
made to say that when We have assem-
bled the inventive genius Of the nation
We shall be in a state of defense such
IS no other nation has ever known
This is, of course. not Yhat / intended to
say, the point I was trying to make be-
ing that when this board was organized
and the incidental plants for utilizing the
native American talent were also under
way SO that the whole idea was in actual
operation, we would have taken a very
long step toward making our navy as eff
ficient as human ingenuity could make
IL.
NO one realizes any more than I do
that his is but beginning. Merely in
venting things will not strengthen our
navy. We must have for the work that
lies before US the loyal and intelligent CO.
operation not only of Congress, but of
the whole nation. To convert dreams
into realities much more must be done
than merely to show how these dreams
can be made into practical and useful
things.
The navy itself. and particularly the
chiefs of our own bureaus, are doing
wonderful work in this respect. 1 seek
to strengthen their hands by the greatest
genius that our country can afford. and
at the same time. by having men in
whose Judgment and whose ability the
entire nation places implicit confidence
actually associated with our own ofhcers.
to secure that interest from the public
which is absolutely essential to the work
ahead. I have great hope that the be-
ginning we have made is really begin
ning-the first step in an onward march
and not a temporary squirt. launched with
momentary enthusiasm, only to halt as
soon as the first wave OF interest dies
out. No one can tell what will be the
result of what We are now inaugurating.
but in any event If it is to achieve the
purpose for which it Is intended 1t VIII
be through the support Of the people of
this country and Congress. and by hours
and years of hard. unremittlng and I'M
spectacular labor by those who have the
actual work in hand

Note to England Aimed to
Uphold y. S. Citizens Rights

American citizens under the accepted
principles of international law.
This notice is in effect merely reser-
walton of rights. and II will make II I'M
possible for the British to claim at any
time in the future that the United States
is required to accept rulings OF its prize
courts based on orders In council which
this government considers In violation OF
American neutral rights. 1t was sent at
this particular time only because the
State Department has been advised that
the British prize court is now consider
ing cases in which Americans are inter-
eSted parties.
Rulings Generally Acceptable.
The rulings of British and American
prize courts have. as a general rule,
been mutually accepted by both govern
ments In the present war, however. the
British government has promulgated or
ders in council-particularly those pre-
scribing the methods by which trade
with Germany Is being stopped-which
the United States regards as In many
respects contrary to the established prfn-
ciples of international law. Further
more, the State Department has learned
that he prize court has indicated that 1t
will consider itself Obliged to accept
these orders by the British government
in making its decisions In particular
cases The department feels. therefore.
that there Is danger Of the court basing
its decisions too much on municipal law.

the United States will object wherever
the municipal law applied to given
case is contrary to this governments I'M
Outstanding of what Is established inter-
national law.
The notice filed Friday reserves to this
government the right to make such OBJ
lection to prize court decisions. The
views Of this government regarding the
British orders already have been set
forth in the notes sent to Great Britain.
Summary Of the Notice.
The State Departments summary OF
the notice filed is as follows:
I'm view of the differences which are
understood to exist between the two gov
ernments as to the principles Of law ap-
plicable in prize court proceedings IN
cases involving American interests. and
in order to avoid any misunderstanding
as to the attitude Of the United States
In regard to such proceedings. the gov
eminent Of the United States informs
the British government that insofar as
the interests OF American citizens are
concerned. 1t will insist upon their rights
under the principles and rules OF inter-
national law as hitherto established.
governing neutral trade in time of war,
without limitation or impairment by or

lof the rights OF American citizens under

OBITUARY
To-day we weep over the grave Of

"Today we weep over the grave oi
! the young taken from Us BY death.
But an early grave may be the
shortest way to heaven"
Virgil John FliclSinger, only son Of

of the same year. He was also iden-
titled with the Sunday school and
other activities Of the church. He was
member Of the Young Mems Christ
ian association and for the year 1914
was its honored president. In all
the legitimate activities connected with
the young people of the community
he took an active interest.
by his habitual cheerfulness and
helpfulness he endeared himself to
the members Of his immediate neigh
borhood by countless acts of kindness
and thoughtfulness. It may truly be

said Of him, "Life's brief work well
done; Life's crown well won"
