DANIELS SAYS NAVY
MUST Be REBUILT
BY The United Press.

BY The United Press.
NEWPORT. r. l., June 26.-Bevolu-
tionary change in naval warfare must
be devised 10 bring the United States
navy up to date, Secretary Daniels de-
clared today. In a speech that at times
bordered on the sensational. he told
the naval war college that the sub
marines development and the air
ships utility have held England's
great navy behind land-locked bar
riers for the first year of the great
world war Old things have passed
away, he asserted, and he called on
the members of the college TO find
the new weapons which will make the
American navy the greatest weapon
of offense and defense in the world.
Those who heard his speech inter
preted it as a plea for great fleets Of
sea-going subarines and aerial craft.
Holding wisely to what is good in
the past" said the naval secretary,
"to such principles only as stand the
acid test of this great war. do not
fear to cast aside what have proved
to be mere shackles of convention and
daringly TO go forward"
Ddultlo llOullHtu lhdl NO tHOlA -
TO be spared to increase the navy's
efficiency The officers in attendance
were told that. while Congress is
from Missouri" and must be
shown" it will appropriate all of the
money required for defense if the coll
lege will justify the reasons After
praising the work of the fleet and the
showing it made at the recent New
York review. Secretary Daniels said
In personnel and material the
navy is larger than ever before. Its
men are trained and fit. It's experts
are ready to remedy past defects and
take advantage of all that has been
learned from the developments in Eu-
rope of actual war"
Daniels declared the navy will never
be satisfied with what has been ac-
complished. He declared that it was
now "Open-minded" and no sugges-
tions were rejected. The idealist as
we'll as the inventor now find welcome
on the mat, he asserted when they
come to tell how improvements can
be made. The program for forty
eight battleships by 1919, he said
would have been carried out and be
up to date if all Congresses had been
as liberal as the siXty-third. He said
he expected that the next Congress
will also make liberal appropriations
! and further aid in the expansion by
providing funds for weapons not now
in existence.

BY CARL W. ACKERMAN

United Press Staff Correspondent.
BERLIN. (Via The Hague,) June 26.
"A strong editorial in the Berliner
Tagebiatt. a powerful exponent Of
the German chancellor's policies was
expected today TO have a most inn
portant influence on the German
American situation.
The Tageblatt, in the first compre-
hensive survey Of misunderstanding
growing out of the sinking of the Lu-
sitania. appealed to the people 10th of
Germany and of America to view the
situation sanely and not to be nisled
by "jingoes.' The editorial. It was
the opinion here today, will go q long
way toward checking reaction which
is expected before the next German
-eply is sent to Washington.
"The newspapers of America and
Germany should employ to the best
advantage an exchange of notes,
clearing up the earlier misunder-
standing which influenced the recent
sentiment" said the Tageblatt. 1T is
evident that America was badly mis-
Informed about Germany's attitude as
Germany was about Americas.
1T must not be overlooked that
messages which have reached Amer
lea that Germany was Indifferent to
the possibilities of war. with the
United States caused an extremely
bad feeling there. These statements
we're founded on silly and irritating
utterances which found no support
whatever among fair-thinking Ger
mans.
The statement was even made that
Germany was willing to draw Amer
lea into the war. The German people
and the German government cannot
too emphatically assert their earnest
desire TO maintain relations of the
utmost friendliness with the United
States through all honorable means.
THE German cause in America also
has suffered by the fact that the ut
terances of German-American citizens
in the United States against the
American government have been
falsely alleged to have been inspired
by the Imperial Government. Nothing
is further from the German mind The
small representation of Germans in
the American government may be con-
sidered another factor contributing "a
the misinterpretation of the German
sentiment in America.
THE present relations between the
two countries are not so bad and with
mutual efforts the situation may be
cleared up and an understanding ar.
rived at Only on one point will It be
difficult TO reach a satisfactory agree.
ment-that is on the ammunition
problem.
Germany will continue to regret
sale by Americans of contraband tC
Germany's enemies. While Americs
Is adhering to the letter of the law
she is helping prolonging this un.
fortunate and bloody conflict Ger
many acknowledges, of course, tha
the supposition that the American
government participated in this bar
ter is absolutely unfounded
Public opinion in Germany unani
cously favors continuing the use o
the submarine, which is PRACTICAL,
our only weapon against British con
traband commerce. But we hope tha
a speedy understanding on this poin
will be reached. We expect of tn
broadminded citizens of America tina
they will not accept the views an,
charges Of an inspired portion of tn
press about Germany"
