TILLMAN DEFENDS
SECRETARY OF NAVY
DenOunces DOg-in-Manger At
titude of Former Secre-
tary Meyer.
TELLS TRUTH ABOUT
THE u. S. NAVY
Tillman tells of Conditions When
Meyer Was Secretary and
Conditions Now.

Washington, Jan. 2S.-Secre-
tary Daniels was praised as
zone of the greatest secretaries
the navy ever had" and former
Secretary Meyer was assailed
today by Chairman Ben R. Till
man of the senate naval COM
mittee in a speech on "The
Truth About the Navy"
Senator Tillman took Mr..
Meyer to task for his recent de-
claration before the National
Security league that "the fun
damental defect of the navy de-
partment is that it has no brain
and no competent military or
ganization."
"Mr. Meyer forgets," said
Senator Tillman, eff he ever
knew, that at the time he left
the navy department the SER
vice was nearly 5000 short of
the authorized enlisted compile
ment; that as per cent of the
men dischardged in good stand
ing were then leaving the navy,
while 85 per cent are now re-en-
listing: that during his incum-
bency there were 1O,36O deser-
tions. Mr.. Meyer needed men
did the best he knew how to
get them. and yet he left the
navy nearly 5000 short. Yet
he has the cheek to hold his
successor responsible for condi-
'ons which are due wholly to
his own shortcomings as secre-
tary. Every one knows officers
cannot be enlisted like sailors.
1t takes four years to make an
officer. Is Mr.. Daniels response
BILE if the republicans in con-
eress failed to supply the cadets
at Annapolis to graduate
1T may be necessary to
quarter midshipmen in tents,
for the naval academy will be
filled to overfowing if the re-
concentrations of Secretary
Daniels are adopted by con-
gress. The emergency is too
pressing, in my opinion, to wait
for any building program at all.
Il myself would like to see
three midshipmen for each sem
ator and congressman instead
of two. But surely no sensible,
honest man can blame the pres
ent secretary for the shortage
in officers.
Not only has the authorized
enlistment long since been OBJ
tained but there is a large wait

the whole department than |

against 1O,360 desertions while

as one OF the greatest Secretar-
les the navy has ever had. Pay
ing no attention to political or
social influences, he has select
ed as his lieuteniants as bril-
liant a group of officers as the
naval service affords.
Although the navy depart
ment has no brains since Won
l.. Meyer was forced to go by
the people, there still remains
Admiral George Dewey. admir-
ed throughout the world both
for his ability as a naval officer
and his thorough knowledge
gathered in the school of eHpe-
rience of the navy in all it's de-
tails. His services in Manila
bay will uever be forgotten by
the American people. He illus
trated to the fullest the heroism
of American commanders, com.
mencing w:h John Pau. Jones
and coming down through the
long list Of naval heroes whom
every American loves to honor.
"Full eight months before
Mr.. Meyer delivered mis- re-
markable lament over the utter
absence of concrete war plans,
there was established the Office
Of naval operations for the pur-
pose of meeting exactly that
need; and the duties and respon-
sibilities and authority of the
chief of naval operations EN-
brace all the advantages of an
AmericaniGe9 general staff
without any of the dangerous
disadvantages which Mr.. Meyer
would import from Prussia"
Senator Tillman also praised
Rear Admiral Benson, chief of
naval operation, "who is not
known at all in the drawing
rooms in Washington or New
port Rear Admiral Victor
Blue, chief of the bureau of
navigation, and Rear Admiral
Joseph Strauss, head of the bu-
reau of ordance.
while Germany had already
won second place, as shown in
Won Meyers first report, he new
er could persuade his party to
grant money enough to recover
the lost ground" continued Mr..
Tillman. His predecessor, Mr..
Metcalf, notified the country
that we could not hold second
place without more dread
naughts and Won Meyers first
report notified us that we were
already displaced. His report
for 1909, four years before his
political demise, admits this. 1t
is true the program he recon-
mended that year was quite re-
spectacle in size, but his party
associates who are now clam
oring for the democrats to
make good republican defcien-
cles in a naval program did not
give him the money. So that it
is proven beyond possibility of
dispute that the republican par
ty is solely responsible for our
present status-lack of officers.
lack of personnel, and lack of
ships.
1T makes a great difference
whether one is on the inside
looking out or whether he is on
the outside looking in. When
Mr.. Won L. Meyer was in au-
thority, and must, perforce, an
swer to the American people for
money spent by his department,
ne was whining about the econ
omical limit set for the navv
and was using constantly such
words as the department re-
commends only Now that he
is on the outside, partisan de-
sirous of displacing the respon-
slble administration, which is
recommending consistent and
continuous building program
such as was constantly urged
upon Mr.. Won l.. Meyer. he is
assuming the attitude of a car
ping and unreasoning critic
finding fault with others who
succeeded where he himself
failed.

SHOWER FOR MISS RENsHAw.

Bridal showers are becoming almost

much more popular. One of the latest
was given on Friday afternoon by Mrs.
Levi Doty, at her home, in honor of
Miss Roxie Renshaw. The rooms were
beautifully decorated in ---vender and

decorations was suspended in the cen

under this canopy. 1t suddenly closed
and a perfect deluge of pretty things
rained from it upon her, while the
twenty ladies present. at the same
time showered various articles at her.
All this was a complete surprise to the

KILLED ANOTHER LYNX.

Ed. Eckermann had quite an exciting
encounter on Thursday morning of last
week with large lynx at his farm
east of town. He had just started in
the field in the morning to pillow and
was driving along the fence when some
colts in his team took fright and be-
came almost manageable. Ed saw
an animal jump out from near the
fence but gave his attention to the
team until he got them under control.
In the meantime his two dogs, which
were in the habit of accompanying him
in the field, gave the animal battle
but soon retired to safe distance. The
lynx, for such the intruder proved to
be took refuge on the fence and was
kept there by the dogs until Ed could
tie his team and run to the house for
his gun, after which an end was soon
put to the story. Ed says the big cat
weighed 80 pounds and measured 25
inches in height and 3s inches in length
and did not seem the least afraid of
either him or the dogs. It's death will
no doubt save the farmers of that sec
