 The Germans, says Bergson. were nre- destined to make the experiment and prove the problem. They had industrial and military mechanism, unmatched They tried it, but moral forces sudden iy revealed themselves as creators of physical foree.' The heroic conception of a little people as to what honor was enabled it to hold up it's head before a mighty empire" To make a long fore cast short, the world, having made cer- tain moral progress, and being outraged at the militaristic idea, formed a battle front impregnable to Germany. The greatest military machine was crushed

Would Increase Personnel.

In the matter of personnel. Mr..
Daniels recommends an increase of 100
men and 800 apprentice scomen and
900 marines. This increase is sufficient
to care for the ships to be completed in
1917. and have number in training for
ships to be completed in 1918. II Con-
gress grants this increase 1t will raise
the total number Of enlisted men to
to9 9al and the marines to 11,479, max
tion to 4.12l officers and sO7 midship-
men in training at Annapolis.
Mr.. Daniels urges a change in the
method Of promoting officers by replac-
ing the present seniority plan with a
plan of promotion by selection.
Wants Reserve Ammunition.
Touching on reserve ammunition, Mr..
Daniels said:
cnt war brought so forcibly to our
attention. it seems hardly necessary to
emphasize the importance of the ap-
propriation for reserve ammunition
This is the first time that this item has
been included. and as 1t is for ammuni-
tion to be held in reserve and not for
the purpose of Quitting new ships or
replenishing the supply of those already
equipped. it has been listed under
separate head and as a distinct item.
II we are to be truly prepared. we must
have sufficient reserve of ammunition
ing of conflict and the deliveries of
the first supplies ordered at the COM
mencement of hostiltics.
The cry of every nation at present
engaged in conflict is for ammunition,
more ammunition. and still more am
munition. The widest estimates of the
amount needed have been exceeded
many times, and the success or failure
of campaigns has been attributed to
the ability uf one side or the other TO
furnish their forces with sufficient am
