Would Have Navy In

Concerns
WANTS MORE THAN
GENERAL BOARD
Would Have Officers
Promoted On Merit
System

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1s.-Re-
newed pleas for a government-owned
munition plant and arnor plate fac,
tory, recommendation Of the merit
system in promotion. and an urgent
request for the passage Of the sd-
'ninistrationa preparedness program
feature the report OF Secretary of
the Navy Daniels, made public this
morning. For the first time in his
tory. the recommendation OF the
secretary involve q larger expend-
iture than those OF the general
board OF the navy.
The report says In part:
my recommendations OF a five
year program embraces the same
number as proposed by the general
board in the distribution IL made in
the fiye-year program of dread
naughts, battle cruisers. scouts. and
destroyers. recommend Is feet
submarines where the general board
recommends nine, and / recommend
S5 coast submarines as against 5S
recommended by the general board.
For additional reserve ammunition.
my recommendation is $4,000. 600.
whereas the general board recon
mends sl1 100000. They recommend
something more for other craft. Ny
total for the FIVE years Is $502,4S2.-
PA. The general boards total is
s499, ,s76 900. a very slight difference
for the five years, though the
boards recommendation for the first
year Is much larger than the de-
partment's estimate.
The FIVE year program, for new
ships and completion of those al
ready authorized reaches a grand
total of $500. 1924. with large ap-
preparations for reserve ammuni-
ton and aviation. Secretary Daniels
differed from the general board in
one important particular at least
as to the program although the
total number of ships TO be con-
structed and the types recommended
are those proposed by the board.
The secretary says:
"The general board was called up
on for advice in this connection
and the department has accepted its
recommendation as regards mum
bers OF capital ships. AS regards
their distribution over a five-year
period, IL was concluded. in view OF
all the circumstances, that Il would
be best to make this as nearly uni
form as might be. This course has
obvious practical advantages, par
ticulariy in view of the present con
gested condition OF the shipbuilding
industry in this country.
II Is understood the board rec
ommended a particularly large pro
gram for the fret year. The secre-
tary calls attention to the fact that
he established precedent last year
in making public the report OF the
general board, which he will follow
this year at later date. The re-
suit, he says, is certain 10 arouse

balanced civil war drama, based on
Whittier's poem and Clyde Fitch's
play in which delightful romance
with a most unconventional finish
is filed with breath-catching eli

The story on the screen follows
the play very closely, and shows
Mary Miles Minter as the charming
Barbara. who is shot by fanatic
and dies beside the cot that bears
her lover. Mrs. Thomas Wiffen
plays the part OF the spirited elder
Barbara. who waved the flag In the
face OF Stonewall Jackson. Guy

portrayal of the gallant northern Of

tangled In little Barbara's smiles.

French and English soldiers,

in the first few reels. but the produc-

the same men are seen lying in the

original cast. with the exception Of
Michael Wflers as the Polish SER
want. are missing In the present re-
production. but there has been as
sembled SUFFICIENT talent to do
ample justice to the merits OF the
play.
"The Yellow Ticket" tells OF the
life OF one OF the oppressed classes
in Russia. The yellow ticket In the
cars country is the badge Of
shame. A holder Of yellow ticket
can demand no respect. even among
those honorable" men who are sup
posed TO uphold the law OF might

shame. In Petrograd Marya meets
a young American journalist. The
police authorities who fear the
American and are suspicious OF
Marya, tell him OF the yellow ticket
she carries. Marya makes satisfac-
tory explanation TO him. and the

promises to help her.
Needless to say that Marya and
the American pass through a seem
ingIy endless chain Of perils, but In
the end they come out unscathed.
Before the final chapter OF the story
of the yellow ticket has been enact
ed, Marya jabs a hatpin through the
heart Of the Russian bsron. who,
under the guise of friendship. tries
to betray her in his apartment.
