The advance of New York Central to

Secretary Danisls Aeeedes 10 De-
mands Of Critics for Facts in
Official Report.

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels yester-
day capitulated to the demand for pub
ucation OF the suppressed report Of the
Navy General Board. He said he would
consider the advisabiiity Of giving the re-
port to the press for publication next
Monday morning. The criticism over the
suppressed report and the announcement
OF members Of Congress that they would
Introduce resolutions demanding that the
report be published induced Secretary
Daniels to change his plans
Secretary Daniels admitted that the
suppressed July report was made at the
direction Of President Wilson. who re-
quested the expert advice of the General
Board - to what the navy must be In
the future" This request was made by
the President after the second Lusitania
note had been sent to Germany and rela-
tons with that nation were strained The
board met this request by submitting q
program designed to make the navy
equal to the most powerful maintained
by any other nation Of the world" by not
later than Ise5
ment referred to the British navy. Esti-
mates Of the cost Of this annual building
program ran from SOC. 900 900 to $5O9, 900. 900
n year. Naval ofiicials frankly admitted
that the administration gave up its hopes
of equalllnG the British navy when II
counted the cost. The present building
program submitted by Secretary Daniels
is designed to make the United States
navy the equal Of any navy except
Great Britain's."

was strong today with a broadening tend.
ency. The volume of business turned
over was the greatest for any session
in weeks notwithstanding that several
issues were selling at the highest level
for this movement.
+ The strength spread to the railroads,
owing to the announcement of the Ia
vorable earnings for November. Specu1

coppers. oils and whiskey shares. In the
latter group L. S. Industrial Alcohol rose
more than six points and sold at the
