While Secretary Says Navy Is
First Glass, Gardner and Won
L. Meyer Dispute Claim.

Washington, d. c., May 4.-Whether
the United States navy is an efficient
lighting force or a pile Of junk, the
American public must decide from the
statements OF Secretary OF the Navy
Daniels and former Secretary George
p. Gardner, of Massachusetts.
A week age Secretary Daniels gave
out for publication a statement In which
he said that the navy was never in
better condition than at the present
time. He reviewed at length the con-
dition of the vessels composing the va
rious fleets and praised the personnel
and skill of the enlisted men.
Saturday, CONGRESSMAN Gardner, in a
reply to the secretary's statement,
characterized the navy as a mass of
junk, said it was not sufficiently
manned, improperly trained and that
the submarine division was a sorry
lot" Experts, he said, held that the
navy is no equal to engaging a first
class power.
Grated his charges that the navy is in
a deplorable condition. He blamed the
democrats for this alleged condition
n deplored the fact that the navy Is
snort $4,000 men to man the warships.
Mr.. Daniels. in his comment, stated

with II vessels. including nine dread
naughts and 3S submarines authorized
OF under construction. The personnel
of the navy has been increased 5,S24, the
total now being 1856 officers and 53,171
men. The number of mines has been
increased 244 per cent in two years. h
number of torpedoes has been increased
80 per cent, at a total saving of 1920, 700
on their manufacture. AS against IL
submarines authorized under the Taft
administration, 26 have been authorized
under the Wilson administration. he
said. h naval appropriations under
Wilson are the largest ever made in
this country. Mr.. Daniels also showed
that S1,110,0S4 have been saved in the
purchase of armor plate, that the cost
or producing powder has beer reduced
III per cent. and that two other bureaus
have 81, 800, 900 through economy
and careful buying.

WESTERN ENGINEMEN
WANT INVESTIGATION
Disappointed With Award They
Will Ask Congress to Quiz
Course of Nagel.

Chicago. May 4.-The Brotherhood
of Locomotive Engineers and Fremen,
after Analysing the arbitration award
Tor three days, today issued a state
ment in support of their contention
that he wage advances granted were
very small.
The increases aggregate, according
TO these figures, $S20,498 a year. They
are for wages alone and do not include
the value Of compensatory rules or
overtime allowances granted. The rail-
roads contended throughout the case
that to grant every demand made by
the men would cost the SO western rail-
roads involved $40, 100000 a year.. The
men say the cost would not run over
10000, 900 a year.
The ward is said to affect engineers
on only 5,767 locomotives out of %, S12
in service. The advances to the engi-
neers total 11,111.46, according to the
brotherhood.
Firemen of zoos locomotives out Of
23,661 in service, receive a total in
crease of $500, 3S6.70, it is calculated
by the br~otherhoods. Managers of the
railroads assert hat the cost of the
award will be known only after the
rules have been put into effect and the
payrolls can be analysed.
Chairmen of the brotherhoods, with
their grand officers, were in executive
session here today. 1t was stated that

Anglo French Troops Said to Be

Naval Guns.

London. May 4.-No further official
announcements have been made CON
corning fighting in the Dardanelles,
but unofficial dispatches agree tina
the allies are progressing toward the
narrows under cover Of the fire of their
naval guns, which are inflicting great
damage on the Turkish defenses, in
Guiding the reported total destruction
of the town Of Dardanelles. A late
Turkish official announcement claims
> victory near Gaba Tepeh, in the Gal
lipoli peninsula, which is said to have
resulted in the retreat of the colonial
British troops to the shelter Of their
Narships. This account, however, does
not agree with the British oficial re-
port published Saturday, which de-
clared that the British were resuming
The offensive, after a stubborn resist
ance on the part of the Turks.
According to British advices, the
Commandment Of the D~ardanelles forts
continued Saturday and that great
damage was inflicted by the allies. The
Turkish war office, however, asserts
that no action was undertaken on
hat date. French troops are reported
10 have made another landing on the
Asiatic side. after withdrawing from
the position first occupied while the
British were landing on the opposite
side of the Gallipoli peninsula.

though they were 1000 miles apart,
although actually they are adjacent.
Russian observers characterize the
German advance north of the Niemen
as a comic opera affair, designed to
induce the Russians to transfer hur-
riedly troops to that region.
At points to the southwark, partic-
ularly Ostrolenka, Serafih, Ednovoritz
and he whole region between the
Rivers Skwa and Piesa, the German
offensive has assumed a more formid-
able character. 1t is marked by in
tense and prolonged artillery fire. On
Friday the Germans fired 10000 shells
in this district. This was followed by
infantry battles, In which the Ger
mans. after suffering heavy losses,
reached the Russian trenches, only to
be finally repulsed.
