DANIELS IS WRONG
AGAIN--GARDNER
Denies Navy Has Increased by
so Ships Since Secretary
Took Office.
sold VESSELS INCLUDED"

DANvERs, Mass. Aug. 2S.-Congress-
man A. p. Gardner in an address before
the Republicans OF the Second Essex
Senatorial district this afternoon took
sharp issue with a recently published
statement Of Secretary of the Navy
Daniels that the navy had been in
creased BY fifty war vessels In full com
mission since the Secretary o office.
Mr.. Gardner said in part:
Secretary Daniels has just issued
In Washington and has repeated in
Boston an exceedingly adroit state
ment in which he declares that the
American navy has ben increased by
fifty war vessels in full commission
since March. 1913. when he became
Secretary of the Navy. To judge by
the headlines and the press comments
the public thinks that this means nifty
new ships added to our commissioned
strength. 1t means nothing OF the
sort.
"of course there have been some new
ships added but on the other hand old
ships authorized In the time OF Harrison
and Cleveland have been dragged out
and put TO various purposes. They are
not, however, In full commission in any
| proper sense of the word. For instance.
the Secretary says that In his time the
| increase in the numbe. of battleships In
full commission has been six. Thu fact
IL tina instead OF six there have been
Just two new battleships commissioner
In Mr.. Daniels's time, the Texas and
! the New York, both o: them provided by
| Congress during Secretary Meyers ad-
ministration.
THE rest of his ships are made W
as follows: To begin with, there Is the
Oregon, provided In President Harrison's
time, which the Secretary has dragged
out Of limbo and put ~. which now
| reposes at the bottom of the sea. Fur
thermore. the Secretary for some un'
known reason has transferred from re-
serve into full commission the old sub
marines Grampus and Pike, authorized
in McKinley's time n rechrLstenec
A-3 and AS. our submarine fleet car
certainly make a brave showing o'
paper.
THE fact of the matter is that TN
whole business is pretence, II is no use
having lots of vessels in full commission
NJ they are entirely undermanned. as II
the case. In the Atlantic battleshil
fleet alone Admiral Fletcher. the com
mander in chief, has definitely an
nounced that the shortage in the flee
under his command mounts TO 5.2l'
men and 80? officers
ITO sum II all up, Secretary Daniel
has unfairly compared winter condition
with summer conditions. Further tina,
that he has totally omitted TO point on
that every new vessel so far put int
commission since he became Secretar,
was provided by Congress prior to prcsi
dent Wilson's election"

BRYAN TALKS ON WAR.
says That Both sides Are yiOlat-
Ing Our Neutrality.

wINoNA LAKE. Ind, Aug. 2s.-Will-
lam Jennings Bryan aroused a packed
tabernacle tonight by his address on
The Cause of the War" Both sides
In this wal are violating our neutrality"
Mr.. Bryan said. Neither IL doing II
to injure us. but the injury IL incidental
TO their war on each other.
THE people of the United States will
not bear the expense of preparation for
war unless they think some nation Is
preparing to attack us. The prepara-
ton will stimulate u spirit of unfriend-
illness which In itself becomes a cause
of war. Annihiliation OF either side Of
the combatants in the European war Is
neither probable nor desirable.
THE unwisdom Of our going to war
with either Of the contending nations at
this time would be the necessity of con-
sulting other nations than the one di-
rectiy involved before peace could he
secured. We could not fight Germany
without being involved In the terms OF
peace with her supporters. The same
would be true IL we fought England
we would have to consult her allies In
making terms Of peace. We ought to
be thankful we have a President who
desires 10 keep us out Of war"

CHICAGO, Aug. 2S.-William Jennings
Bryan paused long enough In Chicago
to-day on his way to Winona Yake,
Ind, to hit at Theodore Roosevelt for
the latter's u%tterances on preparedness
at Plattsburg. N. Y.
He likened the apostle of preparedness
TO a drunken man. who is useful for
citation and a horrible example OF the
results OF in%temperance.
ut is said to have been an ancient
custom for parents to teach their chill
dren the evils Of "intemperance by taxi

Gated condition." commented Mr.. Bryan
at the University Club. 1T is possible
that Mr.. Roosevelt Is serving a useful
purpose In warning the public OF the
effect which the doctrine OF preparedness
may have on q man when he giaes him
