SECRETARY SAYS COST OF

Emergency appropria lions of nearly
100000 for pressing naval needs in
GLIDING anti-aircraft guns for the fleet,
and submarine mines, were urged by
Secretary Daniels in communication
sent to Congress yesterday.
The demand for additional funds for
these purposes came as a complete sur
prise to Congress, for within the past
two weeks, Rear Admiral Straus, of the
Bureau of Ordnance, has told the House
Naval Committee that Secretary Daniels
had arbitrarily stricken from his esti-
mates for next years appropriations, ap-
proximately sl2,0oo,ooO, including appro-
priations for the very purposes asked for
in Secretary Daniels letter yesterday.
The committee at that time was forced
to question Admiral Straus closely in
order TO determine whether the estimates
had been cut. The admiral reluctantly
admitted that Secretary Daniels had
eliminated his recommend ations, and that
the Secretary had not consulted with the
Ordnance Bureau before making the re-
auctions.

SPECIAL Cable to The Washington Bc.Id.

SPECIAL Gable to The Washington Hu,Id
Berlin, Feb l9.--In the official Turkish
white book, dealing with the Armenian
massacres. 1t is alleged that it was the
duty of the imperial government, engaged
in a desperate war for existence, to pro-
tect itself from the Armenians. who were
blinded by hatred and false expecta tons
of a Russo-Franco- English triumph e
The book accuses the powers OF the en-
tente OF melting and encouraging the
Armenians against Turkey"
1t also is alleged that secret Armenian
societies allowed to survive by assuming
the shape OF political parties remained
revolutionary in character. Their prin-
Cipal exploit was the massacre OF all the
Mussulmen in the frontier regions. The
Turkish commander, TO protect the Null
sulmen, removed the Armenian popula-
ton TO the south.
The empire was literally honeycombcd
with poisonous organizations. which
transformed a portion OF the country into
secret depots for bombs and arms to be
used against the Turkish people. Was
it not the duty of the imperial govern
ment, engaged in a desperate war for
existence. to react with the rigor COM
manded by the extreme gravity OF the
timCs?'
