a new American fleets contemplate
ed by Secretary Daniels as recon-

program for the United States navy.
President Wilson and Secretary
Daniels have discussed informally the
needs of the navy and are agreed that
in order to be adequately prepared
for defense the present strength OF
the fleet must be almost doubled in
the next five years, with the addition
of many of the latest tyre of fast anc
powerful fighting craft.

Details as to numbers have not beer
finally worked out, but the idea O,
fixing a ratio for continuing pro

the basic principle upon which the
general board of the navy and Secre
tary Daniels are now planning their
recommendations Another confer
ence between the president and the
secretary will be held Friday, at
which the total number probably will

The man saluted and went out
through the panel. A moment later
Del Mar gave orders to the other man
who also saluted and left the house by
the front door, just as our car pulled
up.
Del Mar, the moment the man was
gone, put on his hat and moved to-

about to enter when he heard some
one coming down the hall to the study
and stepped back, closing the panel.
It was the butler announcing US.
