NAVAL STAFF NEED
 FELT BY THE J. s.
Germany Gets Greater Results
 From Less Money, Says Roden

Washington, April 13-To the lack
 of a general naval staff was attributed
 the unpreparedneSs of the American
 navy and it's want of battle efficiency
 by F. K. Roden Of Scranton. Pa. in
 an address at today's session of the 7 Navy League of the United States.
 The speaker was discussing the sub
 JeCt. Why we need a navy general
 staff"
 MT. Roden declared that with an
 appropriation no greater than that ex-
 pended oy the United States, Germany
 las built Up navy thirty per cent
 greater in combined units, but as a whole, more modern in construction anu thlS he attributed to the fact ifa1 the German navy :s headed "by a trled-out, efficient general staff.''
 He asserted that although "during tie past fifteen years congress has an- propriated more than q billion and q half dollars for the navy sum great ly ln excess of that by any other power except Great Britain, yet at the pres cnt time our navy is rated as a fourth class power.
 Why jS it that with an equal ap- preparation the German navy is to- day thirty per cent. greater than our own navy?" asked Mr. Roden. Be cause Of our lack of a real general staff with full power to direct how the money appropriated by congress for the Lavy shall be spent"
 Final decision in such matters. he i added, rests with congress, whose | pembers have neither the time nor | the traln1ng necessary 10 decide those 1 problems.
 Skeleton, No Substance.
 The speaker said that the act of of last year creating the office ot chief Of naval operations has pro- Flded only "a skeleton of a form. stripped of all substance"
 We still lack that legally consti- tuted office that shall have the power to coordinate all the military as dis from the civil activities of l all the various bureaus in the deDart- nent, to the end that that office may DC properly charged with full and sole l under the secretary for | ne preparedness of the navy for war l : tnd it's proper and efficient direction l turing the war
 by providing a general staff to di- ect ana control the navy under the 'uthoflty or the president and the sec etary Of the navy" Mr Roden con- iudeo' congress would be following I ne step which every other great ma f on has long since taken. Our pres s nt law is step in the right direc- il on, but it does not go far enough" T A paper prepared by Lieut. Com a lander Henry c. Muslin, U s. N.. on o The Naval Aeroplane" was read 1 L ther speakers were Dr. Alexander fl raham Bell, Preparedness for eflal Defense,' and Lawrence Y. pear, who gave an illustrated lecture n '"The Submarine."

GOSSIP OF WALL STREET.
Conmission Hsuse Opinis..

Most Of the market letters sent out
yesterday by Wall Street commission
houses said in effect that with world
politics in their present critical condi-
tion It would not b safe TO make a
forecast of stock market probabilities
for tho immediate future. Nevertheless
there were few letters which did not
dwell upon the improvement which has
taken place In technical market condi-
lions in recent days and upon the great
strength In the country's general busi-
ness. Furthermore there were many
houses which were willing to go on
record with the prediction that cessa-
tion Of war would be followed by grow
ing strength in our Industrial situation
because Of the expected commercial
buying in our markets incident 20 the
physical upbuilding of tho nations now
at war. Some letters thought that
further house cleaning would have to
be done before the market would be In a
position for . sustained advance. while
there were other letters which ex-
pressed the opinion that although higher
prices might not develop at once tho low
levels reached In Fridays ~operations
marked the elimination OF the selling
movement.
Bankers Not Alarmed.
Bankers are not alarmed over tho
stock market outlook, or as one said
yesterday. "over any outlook The
great depreciation that has taken place
In market values Is not considered an
indication of adverse changes In condi-
lions governing the actual worth OF Sc
curities, MOI Is It thought TO foreshadow
a sustained movement In the direction OF

was no rhyme or reason to some OF the
quotations prevailing In the Stock Ex-
change and that values had been sac
riaced to the shame of intelligence" The

straight direction and in his opinion he
believes that the good stocks are now

PUBLIC UTILITY COMMISSIONS


IN order that the matter of Public
Utility Commissions might be gotten
before the people of this locality and
both sides of the question considered,
The Record has granted the rather
extensive use Of its columns to the
adherants of both sides, which, so
long as no disagreeable personalities
are INDUCED in, they are still at liberty
to use. We always like to hear both
sides of question, and we take it
that our readers are of the same dis
position.
In the mean time, we have formed
a few opinions on the subject, which
are perhaps between the extreme
viewpoints of the advocates of either
side. In the first place, we do believe
in the public utility commission; we
believe that commission of this kind
TO make a study of and obtain infor-
nation as to the workings of such
organizations is an absolute necessi-
ty, and If wisely chosen and vested
with only proper powers, is as much a
benefit and protection to the utilities
az to the people at large.
We do not favor such a measure as
the Evans bill, which we believe is
altogether too far reaching and arbi-
trary in its scope, delegating to the
commission power and authority not
hardly vested in the Legislature itself.
1t is our opinion that the powers of
the commission should be kept within
reasonable bounds, and that its prov
ince be more along the line of making
investigations and initiating legisla-
ton found necessary than in making
arbitrary rules, which might seriously
obstruct and embarrass the legitimate
operations Of our utilitis, which are
just as important TO the people them
selves as the stockholders of the cor
porations owning and controlling them
II is not our idea that utility COM
mission will have for its purpose the
injury and unnecessary interference
with the affairs of utility companies
and individuals Its mission should be
one of justice only, and in its operation
