Secretary Daniels Program.

Following the lead of the president and the
secretary of war, the secretary of navy now
comes forward with the outlines Of his program
for extending the strength OF the naval arm OF
our national defense. Mr.. Daniels has merely
given in a more detailed manner the statements
made by the president His plan contemplates
a continuing program of construction. extending
over a five-year period. and involving an ex-
penditure OF approximately 800. 100000 year.
On the completion OF this program the United
States would have navy second only TO that OF
Great Britain, equipped in the most modern fash
ion. and capable OF meeting the most serious
phases OF the defense problem that confronts this
country.
That the program rests on the experience of
this and other countries in the matter Of build
ing and maintaining a navy as determined by
the experts, is a strong point in its favor. II is
certain 70 meet with early assistance In congress-
because the house committee TO which II will be
referred Is dominated by the big navy man"
The rough water before II will be encountered
after Il comes from the committee. for there is
in congress an element OF considerable strength
opposed TO the general plan for increasing the
military strength Of this country. How potent
this influence may be remains TO be developed.
but II is certain that soon after the holiday re-
cess both sides will be required to disclose their
power to some degree.

General Gregory may not receive from congress

eye. and weigh heavier on the political scales.
than does the question OF convict labor. The
attorney general. calling attention to the situa-
ton that prevails at the federal prisons, points
out that some provision must be made for the
employment OF the prisoners. Tentatively, he
suggests that furniture making be taken up, to
the end that prison factories may provide for
the governments needs In this line. The making
OF binding twins, bagging. and similar articles
win be continued for the time at least. Chief
OF his recommendations is that a wage be paid
the convict. over and above his cost for keeping
and that the surplus be sent to his dependents.
The wisdom OF this course Is so plain that
II ought TO need no supporting argument One
Of the most potent influences in reformatory
work is 20 convince the individual that some
thing OF responsibility rests upon him Next TO
this is to show him that he is capable Of pro-
ducing something through honest effort And
finally the lessons Of thrift that show the futiy

stated az a rate that serves to awaken ambition

for wage for convicts ought to be put into

The text Of the note dispatched by Secretary
Lansing to Vienna. setting forth the position Of
the United States as to the Ancona incident. Is
Of that virie quality which will meet the un-
qualified endorsement Of true Americans. The
situation is more than serious. II is grave, and
fraught with possibilities that must be fully APP
preclated and understood in their ultimate terms
1t grows out OF the responsibility OF the govern
ment to it's citizens. One of the chief weak
nesses Of the present administration at Washing
ton has been its lsKity, II not indifference, in
the matter OF providing protection for American
citizens wherever they may be. regardless of the
standing OF the offender against the rights Of
Americans. Il is encouraging to note that this
policy is being abandoned for the assertion of a
more vigorous concern for the safety OF Amer
leans.
Austria cannot be unaware of the attitude
assumed by the United states in its exchange Of
notes with Germany over the sinking OF passen-
ger boats by submarines. For this reason the
sinking OF the Ancona under the circumstances
established lie all the more offensive demand
that the Austrian government Immediately disa-
vow the action OF its submarine commander Is
