II. G. $685., just back from Sing
Sing. where he served two years OF
two and half years sentence for burg
larry, came 70 the Office Of The Tribune
yesterday and told Of a faction IN
prison which was trying TO discredit
the Mutual Welfare League.
There is no chance" he said, be
cause the men that are with Warden
Osborne are in the majority The OPP
position faction. he said, was a clique
Of about fifty prisoners, termed by the
inmates prison millionaires," who are
encouraged by the oldtme keepers.
The younger keepers were in favor of
the Mutual Welfare League. he
thought.
He also confirmed the statement by
one of the inmates that Warden Os-
borne has recently granted a here
tofore unheard-of privilege TO three Of
the inmates. He permitted them to
come 10 the city 20 attend the funerals
OF their relatives. One came 70 attend
the burial of his wife and the other
two to the funerals Of their parents.
The prisoners attended the funerals in
charge of a keeper. The prisoners and
keepers wore civilian dress.
H. G. did not think there was any
possibility Of other prisoners being
dsgruntled because of similar priv
ileges not being granted them under
the same circumstances. The major
ity of the men think too much of
their Tom Brown as the warden is
known TO the men, 10 criticise him. he
said.
As for the two factions H. 6. said
that in the past the prisoners with
money could always get privileges.
Money brought political backing" he
said. land with il they could have any
thing they wanted in Sing Sing. 1t 10
this class that would like TO see Warden
Osborne go. They would do everything
they could to discredit him. They
could then buy their privileges and be
favored few. 1t is now a case of
equality and the poor man has the same
chances for privileges as the rich.
"ln the old days with sufficient money
and political backing a prisoner could
get diabetes or any other sickness he
cared TO have. This meant the dormi-
tory or hospital, where he could spend

.TWENTY.SEVEN MEN
IN NAVAL RESERVE
This Number SO Far Enlisted as
Result of Circulars Sent to
1000 EligibleS.

Washington, April 25.-The newly
created naval reserve now numbers
twenty-seven men. In answer to cir
culars sent out by the Navy Depart
ment TO men eligible TO enlistment IN
the reserve, approximately five hun
bred have signihed their willingness TO
join, but they have advanced the ex-
cuse of lack Of time or opportunity to
leave present employment long enough
to attend 70 enlistment.
There are $4,000 ex-members OF the
enlisted force of the navy eligible to
enlistment in the reserve. or this
number the Navy Department has cir
cularized 1000, with the foregoing re-
suit. On this ratio of enlistment the
naval reserve, when completed, should
number 122 men.
Navy authorities believe that force
of 10000 should be gathered in the re-
serve and permanently maintained. 1t
is believed the real naval reserve Will
have to be assembled slowly through
enlistment Of men before actually leay-
ing the service Navy Department Of
fciaIs are not downcast over the pow
erty Of the showing thus far made.

SAYS PRISON MUST
GIVE SELF-RESPECT
President Hibben Of Princeton
Urges Trust as Greatest
Agent in Reform.

New Brunswick, n. j., Anril ?5.--
John Grier Hlbben, president OF
Princeton University, spoke before the
New Jersey Society of Charities and
Correction to-day on "The Conserva-
ton of Human Resources"
"a significant test of the enlighten-
ment of a state,' he said, "is its abil-
ity to deal wisely with those human
elements which may be so TRANSFORMED
as 20 prove the heart of good IN Things
evil.
Our reform and penal institutions
in the past have done nothing TO re-
store prisoners self-respect. But
a new discovery has been made OF an
old and eternal truth-that the con
sciousness that some one believes IN
him tends 20 create in a man the de-
sire to prove himself worthy OF that
trust. You quicken sense OF honor
by appealing TO it. You assume IT'S
presence, and thereby call IL into be
ing. mans honor is never wholly
lost.
"A thrill of new life runs through
his whole being at the barest sugggS-
ton that he still possesses some sense
OF honor With honor reused, man
hood returns. But, it may be urged
is il safe to trust man VINO faS
shown himself untrustworthy? You
may answer, 4 will not trust any one
until he has proven worthy of that
trust A deeper insight reveals the
strange truth that the very TACT OF
trusting man might serve to trans
form dishonesty and dishonor INTO
honesty and honor.
THE overcautious and overprudent
may protest against its seeming tolly,
hut its success Is the proof OF us Wis
dom.
"Nietzsche scornfully criticised
Christianity as the religion Of the hos
pital. will accept this characterize
ton and will glory in it. Christianity
is the religion whose Office it is 70

Secretary Points TO In

Men and Guns.
NEVER MORE READY
FOR ANY SERVICE
Ammunition, Mines. TorpedoeS,
Submarines and Aircraft
Ample and Growing.

Washington, April 25.-Secretary
Daniels made public tonight letter
written 20 President Garfield Of Will
Jams College detailing the work in the
navy during the last two years. Mr.
Daniels wrote in reply to Mr.. Gar,
fields request for material 20 meet
statements that the United States is
unprepared for military emergencies
In the letter Mr. Daniels SAYS:
There are now in active service
fully commissioned, 90 vessels OF all
characters, which is thirty-siX more
than were fully commissioned when
became Secretary. There are also Jul
vessels Of various types IN reserve
and in ordinary and uncommissioned
capable of rendering service in war
We have under construction and au-
thorized seventy-seven vessels (nlne
dreadnoughts, twenty-three destroyers
thirty-eight submarines and seven aux
ilaries), as compared with ffty-four
vessels five dreadnoughts, fourteen
destroyers. twenty-three submarines,
three gunboats and nine auXiliaries)
which were under construction on
March J. 1913.
"All the vessels enumerated, those
in active service and those in reserve,
are supplied with munitions Of war.
No navy makes public the quantity OF
ammunition and tOrpedoes, mines and
other implements Of naval warfare
which it keeps ready. Il may be said,
however. that within the last two
years the quantity OF all has been
steadily and greatly increased.
"The personnel Of the navy is al
present composed Of 4.355 line, staff
and warrant officers and 53,17l enlist
ed men. Increases in the number Of
officers is dependent almost entirely
upon the output OF the Naval Acad-
envy, admission TO which is restricted
by statute The number Of enlisted
men also is restricted, and the navy
is to-day recruited to the maximum
strength allowed. There are now with
the cOlors 1924 more men-an increase
Of - per ccnt-than there were on
March l., 1919.
Up 10 Highest Mark.
"My professional training as a jour
nalst has always inclined me TO the
conviction that any officer within the
prescribed limits recognized in the navy
should be free TO express his opinion
in regard 10 matters IN the service,
and there is not an officer who com
mands a ship to-day who could or
would say that his ship, without or
within, was not as good as it was two
years ago. or that the officers who COM
mard 10 and the crews who man il are
not as thoroughly disciplined, sober,
loyal and efficient as they were two
years ago or as they ever have been.

The navy has Jagged behind in this
/ instrument of war. Last year ! APP
pointed a board of aviation. 1t rec
commended the utilization Of the aoan-
doned navy yard at Pensacola as q
training and repair station for ava
ton. and an aviation bureau in the
department. This has been done. Upon
nv earnest Recommendation, Congress
appropriated a. million dollars to begin,
upon an elaborate plan, the real de-
velopment of aviation in the navy. IL
also approved my request TO pay ayl,,
ators an increase of 80 per cent, ana
we are organizing class of capable
aviators. To make Immediately efec-
tive this feature, three new hydro
ae~oplanes have Just been purchased,
which is but the beginning of the work
Of aviation, now well advanced along
the lines of a we'll considered plan.
regard this as one of the most far
reaching steps taken by the wilson
administration.
"As to savings effected: All this
Unprecedented increase in the navy has
been secured, too, without large IN
crease in appropriations. How! by
avoiding unnecessary expenditure
ashore, by reducing the cost OF WORK
ashore. while maintaining its quality,
and reducing appropriations for en-
largement of shore stations, by secur-
ing real competition and by economy.
"But Of what worth Is ship without
well-trained men? What has the Will
son administration done as a person
mel? 1t is a pleasure to tell you that
for the first time in years the enlist
ment is up to the limit prescribed by
law and part of the year W have had
a waiting list
with special emphasis beg you 70
ask any well-informed man in or out
of the service as 10 the ability and
capacity Of the various officers whom
I have called as advisors and to the
heads of the bureaus. You will find that
the man selected in each bureau is
recognized, both in our own and foreign
navies, as an able expert in his line.
"These two years have been epoch
making in the navy, distinguished by
more wise and progressive naval legls-
lation and more practical achievement
than any previous like period (thanks
chiefly to a patriotic Congress).
"All who would learn the truth may
be assured that the navy Of 1915 is
