NAVY is ALL RIGHT,
SAYS REAR ADMIRAL
Defends Secretary Daniels and Says
That He is in sympathy with All
Plans for improvement.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-THE
navy is in better shape than people
have been led to believe, Rear Ad-
miral William S. Benson tonight told
members Of the Medical club of Phila-
delphia whose guest he was at re-
ception here.
Admiral Benson was commandant
Of the Philadelphia navy yard before
his recent appointment as chief of
operations for the navy.
The admiral said Secretary Daniels
is in favor OF plans for placing the
navy upon the most efficient footing
possible and reports to the contrary
are unjust. He said:
"lt is unjust to think the head Of
the navy is not in sympathy with this
movement to Improve the fighting
forces on the sea. Since ! have been
in Washington no move has been
made to put the personnel and ma
terial into the best possible condition
that has not after proper explanation
been thoroughly approved by him
lie wants the people also to receive
enc hundred cents for every dollar
they put into the navy.
There Is wrong impression
abroad concerning the efficiency Of
the navy. The battleships of the fleet
are the equal. class for class. of any
in the world. The men who serve
upon these ships are superior to any
