The Suppressed Report.

After being continuously under fire
by such fearless Republicans as Rep
resentatives Gardner, Of Massachus-
etts, Brltton, Of Illinois, and others,
Secretary Daniels has been compelled
to send to Congress, under the seal
Of secrecy" the long suppressed re-
port of Admiral Fletcher, commarl-
der-in-chief of the Atlantic fleet. This
report completely confounds Mr..
Daniels, proves that he has, by the
use Of half-truths, deliberately sought
to deceive the public regarding his
own inefficient administration Of the
navy, and sustains the charges made
by Mr.. Gardner and others.
Admiral Fletcher reports that the
navy Is gravely undermined, that
the Atlantic feet Is short 5,t,J men,
that he has found paymasters and
enlisted men doing duty which should
be entrusted only to trained officers.
He says that the mine-laying ships
are twenty-five per cent short Of men
and that the department has under
manned the torpedo destroyers by
twenty-five per cent; that the con-
ditions prevailing in the fleet are ac-
tually dangerous; that there Is n
great shortage OF officers; that the
condition of the submarines is thor
oughly unsatisfactory and that there
Is O woeful lack Of hydroplanes. Ad-
miral Fletcher reports that Daniels's
school for enlisted men has inter-
fered seriously with the training of
the men on board shie, and points
out that the "overhar'ing periods
which have been prolonged in order
to make more work in navy yards for
deserving Democratic civilians-are
entirely too long.
And. finally, he finds serious fault
with the present system of target
practice and supports the contention
OF Mr.. Daniels's critics, that his ad-
ministration of the navy department
has been appalllngly inefficient.
Members OF Congress who have
read this confidential report of Admi-
raj Fletcher to his chief are not SUR
prised that Mr. Daniels sought to sup
press It. There Is little doubt that
President Wilson's retention Of Sec
rotary Daniels in an important posi-
tion for which he has proved him
self wholly incompetent is one of the
greatest obstacles in the way Of the
presidents preparedness program.
Many members feel that it would be
merely a waste of the peonle's money
to entrust its expenditure to so mon
umental an incompetent as Daniels.

SONG BIRDS Of
EUROPE BEING
KILLED BY WAR
Or Else They Have Been
Driven Out Of Country by
Soldiers Bullets.

NEW YORK, Jan. 25-Have the
song birds Of Europe become the vic
tins OF bullets, shrapnel and deadly
gases, or have they deserted the war,
ridden continent entirely? So en-.
crossed have Americans been In other
phases of the terrific struggle that
few have thought Of the effect Of wal
on wild life.
During a severe artillery duel 1t Is
reported that several British soldiers
were seen to be crying. When asked
why, they said that during the lullt
Of the bombardment the birds could
be heard singing. Over one trench
hung a tree, and on the bough were
two birds preening their feathers
and twittering.
Between the opposing lines, birds
are said to be scarce, except swallows
and swifts, and stray linnets, wag-
tails and starlings. A pair Of tree
sparrows were actually found nest
ing in a shell-torn tree between the
lines; while.a kingtisher settled by
q johnson hole" within five yards Of
the British trenches.
The war has helped instead Of hurt
the birds Of Europe, is the declara-
ton Of T. Gilbert Pearson, secretary
Of the National Association of Audi
bon Societies and American authori-
ty on birds. "Our correspondents
have discovered that the wild birds
are receiving an amity from the
hands of men in Europe to which they
have long been strangers.
"For example, the French govern.
ment has stopped all hunting, and
the minister Of war has issued an Or
der that the sale of no native game
will be tolerated. Ordinarily, more
than 1000 tons Of native game killed
are sold annually in the markets OF
t'rance-think Of it-more than two
million pounds, and how many mil
lion birds?
belgium, in time Of peace, is one
Of the greatest blrd-cathlng countries
in Europe. More than $4,000 sky
larks, as we'll as hundreds Of thou
sands Of other birds are annually
trapped and exported from that coun'
try for food"
To carry on its protective work
through education, the association
from its national headquarters al
1874 Broadway, New York city, Is
asking for the enlistment of five
thousand friends OF the birds, al
members Of the association, at st
each. to serve as recruits in the cam
paign the society is making to stoT
bird slaughter in America.

gradually increased throughout the
empire as financial conditions permit.
II better methods Of prevention and
cure are adopted the scientist declares
he is confident that within few de-
cades tuberculosis will practically dis
appear from Japan.
So far as observation by foreigners
is concerned the spread Of tuberculosis
Is in part due tothe frequent construc-
ton of Japanese houses in low areas
where the sun rarely enters and to the
habit of tightly closing windows and
doors during the hours Of sleep.
