Former Secretary Says
U. S. Navy Is Disrupted
Special to The TeIcgrabh

Boston. Mass, May 3.-EX-S -Secre-
tary of the Navy George Won L. Meyer
last night issued statement reviewing
the open letter from Secretary of the
Navy Daniels to President Garfield, of
Williams College, concerning the pres
ent status of the naval equipment of
the United States. Mr.. Meyer says
Secretary Daniels discussion of this
subject leaves much to be desired
in the way of information" and that
the organization of the navy has been
disrupted.
The war and the campaign of edu-
cation on national defense" the state
ment says, has influenced Congress in
making more liberal appropriations,
but the third battleship Mr.. Daniels
obtained was made possible by the sale
of the Idaho and Mississippi to Greece.
1t should also be noted that the In
diana, Massachusetts and Oregon can
no longer be included in our tonnage
list; that the Iowa, Kearsarge, Ken
lucky and Alabama will reach their
age limit in 1876 while the Illinois
Wisconsin, Maine, Ohio and Missouri
are due for replacement by 1920. as
battleships become obsolete in twenty
years. tt is obvious, therefore, that a
program of two battleships with no
scout cruisers and no battle cruisers
will lead nowhere"

Sing Sing Ball Players
Do Not Heed Protests

New York. May S.-Warden Os-

Trustees of Ossining protesting against
Sunday baseball games at Sing Sing
did not interfere with the game of the
Mutual Welfare League yesterday.
The prison nine played the FREEZER
Club from this city. The latter won.
z to g.
incidentally the prison pitcher
"beaned" seven opposing players with
the ball The fans assert he was rob-
bed of hit into left field that looked
good for a home run. The prison
catcher dropped the ball after two
were out in, the fifth inning while try
ing to nail a man who was stealing
home, and that started a rally that
won for the outsiders. All of the con-
victs' runs were made in the fourth
inning. They blamed their defeat OH
the fact that shortstop Sunny" was
out of the game with a sprained ankle.
Warden Osborne was not present.
About fifty outsiders witnessed the
game. Each of the visiting nine was
permitted to have three spectators.
The residents of Ossining have COM

CENTRAL LEAGUE HAS
SUCCESSFUL START
Attendance Large; Amateurs Were
Prominent on Saturday; Brels-
ford Plays Great Game

With the opening of the Central
League season Saturday, baseball took
a big jump in popularity. While 1t
has been predicted that the league
games will put crimp in amateur
contests, twenty-five amateur and
semiprofessional games were played in
Harrisburg and vicinity on Saturday.
There were three league games. and
two contests in the series between the
local fire companies.
Winners in the Central League were
New Cumberland. Lebanon and Mid
dletown. Two games were one-sided.
The best contest was that at Lebanon
with steelton. The average attendance
was 500. steelton showed form that
was pleasing to the many fans who
went to Lebanon from Steelton. Leba-
non is considered a much stronger ag-
gregation than Central League had
last season.

new light. An election is coming and
he is trying to shape his course ac-
cordingly. Mr.. Hay does not have to
consider any questions of this sort. A
Virginia democrat, he is sure OF re-
election and he refuses to play the
presidents game. And the entire cpl
sOde is illuminating proof OF the lack
of team work in the democratic party
and of the futility of looking to that
party for constructive patriotism in
legislation. Happily, the return of
progressive repubicanism to power is
not far distant We hope it may not
come too late for dealing properly
with this question of national defense
wherein the president plainly plays
game of political eSpediency while
Mr. Hay of Virginia maintains the
ancient democratic doctrine of ignor-
ing the national needs.
The Denison review. [volume] (Denison, Iowa) 1867-current, 1915-08-11

We think the citizens of this com
treatment accorded our people by the
post Office department in the distribu-
ton OF positions in the rural free deliv-
cry service. The government some
time since called for people to take
the civil service examination for serv-
ice as rural mail carriers. A number
of young men from this county re-
sponded to the call and took the ex-
amnations with creditable markings.
Three Of those taking the examination
were placed on the eligible list and
one OF them recommended by the
proper authority for vacancy which
existed on one Of the routes from Den
ison. No attention was paid to the
recommendation for long time and
the vacancy was not filled until with
in the last few days, when, to the sur
prise and chagrin of the party recon-
mended, as well as large number of
other people, man living at Greeley,
Iowa, at least 200 miles from Denison,
was appointed to fill the vacancy. This
is singular application of the civil
service rules and looks very much
to be a purpose to defy both the letter
and spirit. 1t certainlyfis not move
in the direction of home rule but of
government at long range and appar-
emily discloses purpose to furnish
a position to a politician rather than
an humble citizen of Denison. This is
another sample of democratic simple
ity we hear about.

POOR ROADS TO DENIsoh.

We are surprised that greater efforts
are not made by the road authorities
to keep the roads in condition for
travel. 1t is Disappointing to hear
people who naturally are inclined to
come to Denison to trade, sotTer as a
reason for not coming, the fact that the
roads coming into Denison are unfit for
travel. The roads leading out into
the Rollins neighborhood southeast OF
Denison have been in such condition
that the farmers who naturally would
trade here have been going to Vail
and other points to trade. This con-
dition should not continue. There
should be enterprise enough on the
part of the business men OF Denison
to see that the roads leading to the
county seat are at all times kept iii
condition so that people can come
here to transact business. Of course,
where SO much rain has fallen, as
within the last few months, it requires
great deal of vigilance on the part
OF those responsible for keeping the
roads in repair. but we have no doubt
but what ii proper efforts were made
the roads could be kept in condition
LOT LTaVel. l. lie county seat Is IHc ldSL
place in the county where people
should be deprived of the privilege OF
coming because of the roads.
Another thing which should inter
est the attention of everyone in the
county is the suggestion that the Lin
coin highway is in worse condition in
Crawford county than in any other
county in the state. This may not be
true, but the fact is persistently re-
ported and the evidence is not forth
coming to demonstrate the contrary
to be the fact.
It is said that, on account of the I'M
satisfactory condition of the roads
through this county, as well as a
portion of Harrison county, steps are
being taken to change the Lincoln
highway and to have it leave the |
Northwestern road at Ames and go
down by way of Des Moines and to
follow the River to River road to
Council Bluffs and Omaha. While this
is suggested as more than POSSIBLE
ity, we are also told that it is simply a
move on the part OF the Des Moines
