U. S. NAVY.
Enormous Increase Necessary
in Case of War.
Secretary Roosevelt Gives an
Opinion on Naval Situation.

Washington, March 2S.-A navy
with a quarter of a million men would
be needed by the United States in time
of war Assistant Secretary Roosevelt
said today to the house naval COM
mittee. England's naval forces had
been trebled since the war, he said,
and added that the United States
would probably need as large an in
crease in war. He gave it as his opin-
ion that the United States navy was
not sufficient to cope with a first class
power if the American policy were to
protect all its coast and possessions
and relations with Pan American
countries. The Atlantic fleet mobili-
cation in 1912 under former Secretary
Meyer he characterized as a Joke"
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt de-
clined to discuss policy questions on
the ground that policy is solely within
the jurisdiction of Secretary Daniels.
He endorsed the personnel board s
recommendations to increase the ma
rine corps; he favored at least three
brigadier generals, one for the fleet,
ana one each for the Atlantic and Pa
cIfic forces. On the need for more
men in the navy, Secretary Roosevelt
said:
ITO fully man all the ships in SER
vice today which are not rated as I'M
Suita BILE for war purposes, would take
IS. 900 more men than we have now

BEAT IT" OUT OF TOWN
Girls Arrested Out of Town-Choose
Lesser of Two Evils.

Three boys heaved a sigh of relief
last night when Robert Yates, police
judge, gave Bessie Roberts and Mabel
Clark their choice between leaving
town permanently or serving out $50
fines in the city jail. Strictly speaking
the boys heaved a sigh of relief when
the girls chose to leave town.
Otherwise the boys would have had
to appear as witnesses against the
girls in the police court this afternoon
and that is what they wanted to avoid.
The boys were arrested with the girls
when the house at 1913 Clay street
was raided Sunday night. The girls,
police characters, were charged with
maintaining a disorderly house and
the boys, first offenders, were charged
with being found in
When the girls were brought before
Judge Yates yesterday morning they
pleaded mot guilty" But last night
when they learned that they were
likely to get a chance to spend all the
spring months in the city Jail, they
changed their minds. Judge Yates in
formed them that if they stuck to
their pleas they would be convicted
and that he would fine each of them
$50. He also told them that if they
would leave town within twenty-four
hours they could beat it. They chose
to beat it and it was reported at noon
today that they had left town.
