less because the man can't hear.
Knocking, for the same reason. is
futile. Now and then guest who
has lost his hearing suggests that he
leave his door open SO we can walk
right In and shake him. but even II
he does appear to be dead game there
are SO many chances of somebody less
guileless than ourselves walking in
ahead of us that we can't consent to
that simple expedient.

girl quietly. They shook hands and
said good night. Neither of them
slept much. Both had been greatly

as it was the evening before. Neither
he nor Muriel was in mood to give

About Extending War Taxes
Before Christmas
Holidays

| Washington, Dec. l3.--The stress and
strain OF the first congressional week
end conferred on numerous things. While
Democrats have been fussing and worry
| ing about extending war taxes before
the Christmas holidays, old-time Repub-
| lican members have been trooping into
town for the national committee meeting
near at hand. In hotel corridors and in
committee rooms it has looked as though
there was change of administration.
Practically all the Republican candidates
for president, unless it be Gov. Whit
man of New York, are in town. Some
one counted exactly ID OF them, includ-
ing Justice Hughes.
All this has contributed to the excite
ment of politics, to which Washington
always lends itself most readily. The
candidates and, alike many of the Re-
publican congressman, attended the Grid
iron club dinner Saturday evening as
guests of Washington newspaper CORE
spondents. President Wilson was also
present, having FASTENED back from Ohio
for that purpose. The notable Republic
cans will be in town for several days, at
least till Tuesday evening, when the ma
tional committee has adjourned. Elk
Senator'S Root and Burton and ex-Vice
President Fairbanks are among the emf
nent solourners,
Sugar and wine are giving the con-
gressional leaders most trouble in con-
neetion with the extension OF war taxes,
Some are urging that the continued tax
on sugar be included in the war taxes
bill, but there are fears this would pro-
yoke debate in the Senate and prevent a
vote. Similarly the sweet wine tax,
which has been a failure because of its
drastic features, could properly be modi-
fled at the same time. But important
as some modification of it is conceded to
be, the Democratic leaders are very ner
yous about attempting to get the amend
ment through now.
Congressional sentiment is still far
from being crystallized on the major
questions of the session. There is in
dustry in getting correspondence cleaned
up and errands at the departments dis |
posed of. Attention must be shown to
the unusual number of visitors who |
have thronged Washington for several
days. The official world is in more or
less Of hnbbub over the variety of dis. |
tracing events and it will be several |
days before anything like quiet and or
Derby procedure are resumed. Next Sat |
lrday is generally proposed as getaway |
lay for the Christmas recess and plans |
are being arranged all along the line for |
Ehe consequent exodus.

Any succeeding Congress will make sucl

strength of the fleet TO be constructed
upon the plan proposed
Secretary Daniels says his decision t6
recommend a continuing building policy
was reached after "much reflection, con.
ference with able experts Of the navy
and patriotic men in civil walks OF life
| He lays stress on the fact that he Is the
| first secretary of the navy to recommend
such course, although the general baord
| in 1909 urged that a definite program be
mapped out which would lead to the es-
tablishment OF fleet of As battleships
by 1919. OF the flve-year program rec.
commended, the secretary says:
Il hope Congress will indorse it by so
large vote of its members as to make
certain its continuance by Congresses to
come"
The full total Of the navy budget for
the year is S2l7, 652,l74; all but $780,
2s0047 of which will 90 for ships now
under construction or to be authorized.
The remainder contemplates the i'm
creased personnel and general running
expenses of the navy afloat and ashore.
''In comparison with the enormous ex-
penditures abroad" the secretary writes,
"the large expenditure il necessary il our
feet is to be able to enforce American
policies The lesson of the European
war warns us that it is better to spend
money in times OF peace for preparation
than to run the risk, however remote,
Of sorely wanting ships and munitions
If suddenly needed"
The secretary comments at length on
the need of battle cruisers of the pro-
posed 35-knot type. The events of the
European war are recounted to show the
part these craft have played and the rea-
sons for including six of them in the
building program. As to the battleships
OF the future, the secretary says the sug-
gested vessels are of much greater dis
placement and heavier armament than
anything heretofore contemplated for
any navy. The department Is now dis
cussing plans for ships of $4,000 tons
and armed with l6-inch or perhaps IT
inch guns. The secretary says the plan
has not yet been approved, but his esti-
mates are based on ships to cost Sls,-
100000 each, which would allow for the
increased size.
Secretary Daniels takes another radi-
cal step in his report in urging that the
present system of promotion of officers
by seniority be abandoned in favor of
promotion by selection. He goes at
length into the results of the seniority |
system to find that it produces stag |
nation in the lower grades, arrival at |
command rank late in life and feeting |
passage through command and flag |
grades, combined with absolute lack of |
incentive throughout all |
grades Officers now hold the grade of |
II captain for an average of two years,
lie says, and are rear admirals for only |
'ix months before retirement for age |
them. About 900 officers, he
states, must pass through the grades OF
,aptain and rear admiral in the next 40
fears under the present plan.

third point was that every worker must
have a loyal faith and enduring trust In
his leader. During his talk, MIR. Miller
brought out the fact that the nations
are each day spending more to carry on
the war than is spent yearly in the com
bined work Of the churches OF North
America for the extension OF their actlvi-
ties.
At the close of the meeting short
social time was held, during which all
delegates had an opportunity to meet the
speakers of the evening and to register
their names and colleges.

Most Of the delegates attended church
services at the Mortified churches, where
special programs had been arranged.
A conference on methods of work was
held in the afternoon in Dewey hall, at
which time Mr.. Miller met the delegates
