REAR ADMIRAL FISkE SAYS SEAT
OF TROUBLE is IN WASHING
TON - TWO FLEETS ARE ES.
SENTlAL.

Washington, March 27.-Rear Adj
miral Fiske told the house navy COM
mittee that inefficient arrangements
in Washington were responsible for
a loss of % per cent in the efficiency
of the American navy.
1--WE do not get our moneys worth
now" said the admiral. He added
that his much-discussed resignation
as chief aide to Secretary Daniels
was brought about because he
thought some other officer might
have more influence with the secre-
tary in recognizing the need for get
ting the navy in state of prepared
ness.
Turning to the condition of the
navy during his service as aide for
operations, Admiral Fiske said prac-
tically all officers then and now feel
there is a very great need for battle
cruisers. Aircraft, he said, was the
greatest present need.
What Should Be Built.
Admiral Fiske said if congress |
was to provide funds for eight CAPT
tai ships he would divide them equally
between battle cruisers and battle
ships.
That it is absolutely impracticable
m to hn
lantic and Pacific fleets was stated
by the admiral. Because use of the
Panama canal is uncertain and foes
might attack both coasts at once, he
said two fleets should be provided.
He said the relative strength of the
Pacific and Atlantic fleets now was
about one TO 100.
representative Stephens asked the
admiral if he objected to telling why
he resigned as Secretary Daniels
chief aide.

There Is always something new to be
found in bags. All one has to do to
find novelty Is to look in the right
quarter.
Some of these sets are rather simple
affairs which will serve for very prac-
teal use, and some of them are of rich
materials in fanciful design, evidently
intended TO embellish an afternoon or
evening toilette. An example of each
Is shown in the picture above. The bag
of gray velours and black velvet
matches exactly a small hat with tam
crown of velOurs and brim of velvet,
and both are ornamented with bead
work.
Any milliner and almost any clever
amateur will be able to make set like

Black and white ribbons in many
varieties are used for hat bands. They
are used In widths of an inch and a
half or two inches, and are finished
with small, tailored bow on the left

crosswise and lengthwise, plaids and
checks, and dotted. Sometimes black
dots, as big as the width of the rib
bon allows, are placed on white
ground, and sometimes white dots on a
black ground are used.

Dear sir:
In reply to yonr letter re-
questlng information as to
an estimate of the cost of a
preliminary survey through
Wheeler County, permit me
to say that Grant County has
set aside $1,000 to be used BY
this Office in locating a line
through Grant Co. This will
not be sufficient for q definite
survey although it can be
used to advantage and | am
in hopes that we can secure
cooperation from the Y. S.
Forest Service. As the road
between Grant and Baker
Counties will pass thru the
National Forest, it is quite |
probable that the Govern
ment can relieve us of this |
section. In such case, we
can probably get a pretty \
fair preliminary survey thru
Grant Co. for the money a
vailable. 1t would be well il Il
Wheeler Co. could set aside a
like amount. However, it is
quite probable that we could
make an equally good loca- |
ton thru Wheeler Co. for a !
little less. / have 4 very COM
petent man whom | could !
assign to this work, and |
am sure that any amount
which your county court feels
that it could allot to this t
work can be expended to ad- a
vantage in Wheeler County. ! !
! will personally follow the J
work very closely and see h
that no funds are wasted and a
any surplus returned to the fl
county treasury. 3
| do not plan to begin :

get some definite word from
the adjoining counties, as it i
would be useless to spend :
these county funds unless i
there is some assurance that q
