DIR. Thomas e. Hall Appears Under
the Wrong Title.

According to the Times. the Rev.
Or. THOMAS Cunning HALL, professor
Of Christian Ethics In Union Theolog-
ical Seminary. addressed the members
OF the American Truth Society on
Sunday evening in Brooklyn and de-
nounced the Government OF the
United States for permitting the ship
ment Of arms and ammunition to bel
llgerents In the present European war.
We quote from the columns Of our
neighbor:
''Dr. HALL, who was born in ireland.
charged that American manufacturers
OF arms and ammunition were supplying
the Allies with dumdum bullets"
1t has heretofore been our unpleas-
ant duty to correct the Rev. DR..
HALLS account of the coming to this
country of Baron Won STErBrN. n mil
itary excursion which the Professor
of Christian Ethics at Union Theolog-
ical Seminary Incorrectly attributed
to the initiative OF FREDERICK the
Great. 1t Is with sincere regret we
observe that his humilating expert
ence in this historical essay has not
taught him caution.
The charge that American mannfac-
turers have supplied dumdum bullets
Ia their customers among the helliger-
ents has twice been made officially by
the German Emba ssy to this country.
In each case the Department Of state
caused a careful and painstaklnc ex-
animation 10 he made. having the
cordial assistance of the arms manu-
lecturers In each case II was proved
conclusiyely that the charge was with
ont foundation and the Embassy was
So informed. On both occasions the
facts Of complaint inquiry and dis
proof were widely published. and the
complete records should have come
to the attention Of any Professor Of
Christian Ethics whose intention Il
was to discuss the subject on the
platform. or even in the privacy Of
personal conversation.

DANIELS REPLIES TO
MEYERS CRITICISM
Secretary Says Money liz
Spent on Navy Has Been
We'll Expended.
BUDGET Up TO CONGRESS-

WASHINGTON. April 27.--Criticisms ri
the Navy Department voiced by ex-Sec-
rotary OF the Navy George Won L.
Meyer OF Massachusetts. that the United
States has expended $500, 600. 900 more
for naval purposes in tho last fifteen
years than Germany without getting
anywhere the same results, drew a brief
reply to-day from Secretary Daniels.
Mr.. Meyer suggested as remedies
first. a naval budget second, a national
council of defence, and third. an auto
matte enlistment law.
81 did not spend this money" declared
Secretary Daniels. "All that l have
spent has been we'll spent
MIR Daniels added that Il was doub:-
less true that the United States has
made larger expenditures on It's navy
than Germany. but he explained that
this was due to the fact that labor and
construction are more costly In TINS
country and that the men and officers
of the American naval service received
higher compensation.
Taking up ;ho suggestion that the
navy would benefit under o budget form
OF expenditure Secretary Daniels said :
There are arguments for and against
the budget II We always had wise
man at the head OF the Navy Depart
ment the system doubtless would work
admirably. In my opinion Congress VIII
never consent 70 making large lump
sum appropriations as proposed by Mr.
Meyer with full discretion left with the
Secretary as to how they snail he ex-
pended.
Congress will insist on placing lint
tations on the amount that shall be
spent for certain purposes, az Is done
under the present system. However,
this Is a remedy that II applied must
be applied by Congress.
we have a council ~ national de-
fence" said Secretary Daniels by way
OF comment on Mr. Meyers suggestion
that such an agency should he created
The Secretary said this council was com
posed OF the President the Secretary OF
the Navy. the Secretary Of War, repre-
sentatives Of the General STAFF and the
ranking officers of the army.
Does this council ever meet?" Secre-
tary Daniels was asked.
1T does" was the reply.
When did II meet last" ne was asked
further
II cannot recall" was tho reply.
II Is recalled here that the council 70
ferred to by Secretary Daniels has met
only once since Mr. Wilson became presi-
dent The charge was recently made by
Representative Gardner Of Massachusetts
that the President had sternly forbade
the council 20 hold another meeting until
il received instructions 10 that effect.
Mr. Gardner charged that the presi-
dents action was inspired by a purpose
not to emphasize "m'litarism' In the
life Of his administration.

BELGIAN NEUTRALITY.
