UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Washington, July 28.-Two, three,
four or half dozen new battleships" "
This is the question being threshed
out by Secretary of the Navy Daniels
and two score of aides, here and
abroad. Daniels, the general board
and other officials are today buslly
working on the naval building program
to be recommended to congress next
December. They have three months
10 decide the quston of how many new
dreadnaughts Uncle Sam shall order
built next year. 1t promises to be
enc of the most debated questions be
fore the new congress.
On Secretary Daniels desk today
are stacks of documents, masses of
statistics and innumerable reports of
foreign and United States naval Of
ficials, bearing on the battleshir
building program.
Every effort to keep secret the final
decision reached will be made. Formal
announcement will not be made until
after the navy estimates have been
submitted to President Wilson in
Ictober II is probable that they will
not be announced then, being deferred
until presented to congress.
There arc indications at present OF
a most determined effort to have Sec
rotary Daniels and the general board
the strategy experts, at whose heac
is Admiral Dewey, agree unanimously
on building program. The admins.
tration wishes to go TO congress unltoo

to increase the navy. Last year the
general board recommended construc-
ton of four battleships-dread-
naughts. Because of the treasury
condition, Daniels stood out for only
two.
Financial conditions will play a
great part in congress action, as well
as that of the department, regarding
proposed new dreadnaughts. The de-

mendous destruction OF Dattleships
wrought by submarines in the Euro
pean war.
SO far all naval experts are con-
vinced that the submarine develop
ment has not put the big battleships
into the discard as engines of de-
struction. Secretary Daniels recently
said dreadnaughts are still the back
bone of the navy. With proper auXll-
iaries and submarine defensive flo
tilas, navy experts insist that the
bulwark of the navy is yet the big
ship.
1t is regarded certain that at least
two new battleships will ne urged for
construction by Secretary Daniels.
With the noplllar apitatiOn on the
preparedness question: and its GER
tain discussion at length in congress,
many observers of things maritime
here believe the two new ships pro-
gram will be enlarged this year. A
vigorous fight is also certain from
those opposing miltarism, and one Of
the most exciting combats of the year
on the navy building program is now

business big and little business-has
encountered in the past. He spoke of
the suspicious the government has had
against all business concerns and of
the suspicious the business concerns
had Of the government. Suspicious on
the part of the legislators led to many
laws which were worthless and tended
to increase the suspicion.
War Brings Changes.
Then came the European conflict,
which, happily for the United States,
he said. had brought about a big
change. It was business that faced
the problems arising out of the i'm
broglio and solved them; it is bust
ness that will have to solve the great
problems that will come with peace.
When the war is ended, thousands
will come to thi scountry, the speaker
declared. Thousands of widows and
children, imbued with a spirit of
hatred, will come to America to get
away from the countries which have
robbed them of loved ones and to be-
gin life anew; young men, who left
the round stools of business for the
bloody and grim life of the trenches,
will come to the United States to get
away from the long years of impris-
onment in a business life which must
struggle to pay the war debts.
Equal to Civil War Problems.
! This immigration will bring about
grave Observation-Disclosures which
are comparable only to those brought
about by the civil war, the speaker
declared. Business men throughout
the country-men banded together in
such a way as the Grand Forks Com
mercial club-must take hold of these
difficulties and meet them squarely
and successfully.
Mr.. Trefz predicted that success
would crown their efforts, for, Of late,
there has been a new note sounded in
business, political and national life
a note which will rebound to the ever.
lasting glory Of business life.

dy there are a large nufber of men
with their political lightning rods up
and we predict that there will not be
a state office but what there will be
from one to a dozen candidates seek
ing it. Indications are that Governor
Hanna will not seek another term as
governor, and this will leave an open
ing for several who would likee to be
the executive Of one of the best states
in the Union. Already Usher L. Bur-
dick is out with a statement that he
will seek the Republican nomination,
and Col. J. H. Frame Of Grafton, is
also a possibility, and before the time
for the primaries arrives there is like
ly to be one or two more in the race
for the Republican nomination.
It is rumored that w. C. Taylor will
not be a candidate for reelection to
the office of Commissioner of Insur-
ance, and up to this time we have
heard of no particular candidates who
are seeking that important position.
Mr.. Taylor has made a splendid Of
fetal and should he desire to continue
in this present position there is no
doubt but what he could be reelected.
So far as the newspaper boys Of the
state are concerned they would like to
see the "sldds" slipped under Thomas
Hall, the present Secretary of State,
as he has been eminently unfair with
them in the patronage he has had at
his disposal. The other day we were
asked if he is the same Thos. Hall who
i 1896 was running a Bryan newspaper
in Fargo, an diff we mistake not he is
the same fellow and is just as much of
a Democrat today as he was then.
Our opinion is'that he has not changed
his politics at all, but simply changed
the name of the party. under which be

of Cando. Mr.. Hunt has resided here
and practiced law for several years
and is considered one Of the brightest
young attorneys Of the district. Mr..
Anderson is one Of the well known at
torneys Of the district. He came to
Devils Lake many years ago and has
acquired a large practice, and is amply
qualified for the judgeship. He has
served several terms as States At

ago was a candidate for the Supreme
bench, and came very near landing the
place. It is conceded that had he
made an active campaign that he
would now be one Of our Supreme

position at the primaries-and if the
Democrats put up a candidate that
candidate will be badly defeated at the
fall election.
Treasurer Earl Duell is serving his
second term, and therefore is not ele-
gible for reelection, and this is going
to leave an opening for some new man.
There are several being talked of
in connection with the t~reasurers Of
flee, but just who, or how many will
be in the race is hard to tell. One
thing sure, the office will not go beg
ging as it is considered one of the best
offices in the county.
Register of Deeds Anderson is "set-
ting easy in the boat" for the reason
that he is serving his first term and
has made a good official, and the man
who can defeat him for a second term
has not doomed up yet.
Auditor Kramer has made a splen-
did official, and this is an Office that is
a very important one for the county,
and unless some good reason can be
shown, we hardly believe that a change
next year would be wise. MI. Kramer
has been elected to this Office only one
term, and therefore it is conceded by
all that he has "made good" he is en-
I titled to a reelection, and up to the
present time there is not. an inkling OF
any opposition to him.
F. T. Cuthbert has decided that the
Office of States Attorney has interfer-
ed with his private business too much,
and therefore will not be a candidate
for reelection, and this has started
several local attorneys buzzing, and
already we understand that there is al
least one candidate in the field for this

horizon we notice that the clouds are

are that in the next few months there

UNITED STATES
FACES CRISIS

The United States stands on the
thresholds of one Of the greatest crisis
1t has known, and upon the business
naen-the men who are organized for
community and commonwealth deyel-
opment- depends the safe solution of
the difficulty.
This, in brief, is the general theme
OF the masterful address given at the
Commercial club last night by Edward
+. Trefz, field agent for the Chamber
OF Commerce of America.
Mr., Trefz spoke Of the difficulties

candidates for U. S. Senator, and if
they both enter the arena this is going
to be the real center Of the fray.
They are both popular men and have
a wide acquaintance over the state,
and neither one has yet been defeated
for any Office which he sought. Nc
Cumber has served as Senator from
this State for many years and has
made a good record and Mr.. Hanna
has served in Congress and as COVER
nor for two terms and has made good,
and both of these men will have a
strong array of supporters rallying
around them. With these two men in
the race no one could even venture a
guess what the result would be.
Up to the present time no avowed
candidates against either Helgesen,
Young or Norton have appeared, al
though it is probable that every n of
them will have opposition before the
time for the primaries arrives. In
state matters the Democrats are lay
ing low, and their only aim seems to
be to try and keep mp discord in the
Republican ranks, in hopes that by SO
doing they may be able to place can
didates in the field who will capture
the prizes at the November election,
But this game has been worked so Of
ten that there is little probability OF
success for them, even with John
Burke at the head of the Democratic
political machine. There seems to be
trouble in the Democratic camp, and
many Of the leading Democrats of the
state seem to think that they have al
ready too much dictation from Mr.
Burke, and if%hee5s should return te

GOING TO HEAR HAMMERSMiTH

where did you go to church today?

ann of address.

ness ethics. When hat is the an
nounced subject | never 60"
This conversation inspired a train of
reflection. My neighbours attitude to-
ward the church CRATES upon my spirit
ual sense; it is so contrary to my own.
Am / right? If SO, why is my neigh
Dor so impervious to my influence?
What ought l to do? 1t is a time
for determination, for apparently

/ go to church to worship, to get
into closer communion with God, to
get all l can out of the service for my
spiritual life, to try to get some addi-
ton to my knowledge of Gods truth,
to add my influence for what it may be
worth to the body of those attending
divine service, to encourage my pastor
so far as he may need such encourage
ment by my presence, to help any in
the congregation who may be looking
to me as an example, and to contribute
my mite toward the support of the
church and it's work.
My %neighbor goes to church for ap-
~parently the same reason that he goes
to a show, to be entertained. He has
a taste for oratory, and since on Sun
day morning no oratory, except pulpit
oratory, is on tap he contents himself
with that, except when the orator
crates against certain things that
Brimbleton considers essential to his
comfort and convenience. Then he
tries to dodge.
