WHY Not Face the Facts
About Armor Competition?
To the People:
The pocy of the United States Government for many years hsm made ed competition in
arnornakngi ineffective.
The Government might have asked the three anop antst~ bids md let the mHe
tonnage to the lowest bidder That would have made competition effective
The result Off such a course would have bn to- drive TIVE of the threem manu-
fcturers out of business, an cave the country with facilities of only ne
plan in tme Of need.
The Government in fact has always asked fr bids from
the three manufacturers, but n 0 matter what the price
quoted, each years business was divided among them.
Armor makers serve bt III ustomer-th Government just as a public utility
serves ut one community
The solution of the public utility problem is regulation of rates. ,
The solution of III problem is for the Government to fl tn price.
We voluntarily gree to accept an price fixed by he Federal Trade Commissions.

To meet this need the Sixty-third Con gress. upon the recommendation of the Navy Department, continued the law which had expired by limitation providing for the appointment of two midshipmen by each member of Con gress, and upon my recommendation the Sixty-fourth Congress, as the first act in larger preparedness, has passed the bill giving three appointments to the Naval Academy to each Senator and Representative. This makes a possible increase of 531 midshipmen for the coming year. But while need ing an increase of officers, the navy must not lower it's standard.
 While I share with the superin- tendent and the academic board deep regret that S2 young midshipnen have been found unsatisfactory in such de- gree as does not justify the hope of their graduation and training as off, cers in the navy, most of them are young men of character and many fine qualities.

BRITISH ADMIRALTY ACTS CAUSE. OF .EDlCT AGAINST ARMED SHIPS SAYS VIENNA

state department at Washington It's allies, particularly France and Italy followed the example of Great Britain during the course of hostrlities.
 tFWithout wishing to enter into an examination of the surprising claim advanced by the British government, according to which liners armed by that government retain their inomen- sive character while merchantmen n armed by the enemy are regardab1e by the British naval forces as auxih- ary cruisers, the Austro- Hungarian government limits itself to establish ing that every merchantmen provided, for any purpose whatever, with can non, loses through this fact alone. the character of a non-combatant ship.
 Under these circumstances, the or der has been given to the Austro- Hungarian naval forces to treat such ships as combatants-an order which. however, will be in force only from Feb. 29, 1916.i This delay is granted in the interests of neutral powers in order that they may be, placed in a position to warn their nationals of the danger to which they will expose themselves, if they entrust their per- son sor property to armed merchant men of states at war with Austria Hungary, and also to notify those of their nationals who may already be aboard such ships of the above men tioned character.

Vienna, Feb. 11-The text of the memorandum communicated by the Austro-Hungarian foreign office to the foreign representatives of the neu- traI governments, announcing the de- 5cision of the Austria-HuEgary to treat las warships armed merchantmen of countries at war with this nation is as follows:
 ''It is not unknown to the govern ments of neutral powers that the Brit ish admiralty in the course of 1913 cauAed a number of large British lin CTS to be armed. The first lord of the, admiralty declared in the House of Commons on March 26, 1913, that the armament of the vessels in ques- ton was only to protect them from dangers threatening them from hos tile ships converted into auxiliary cruisers and to serve exclusively for defense.
 J ssExperiences gained in the present war show that a considerable number Of British merchantmen used the guns installed aboard against hostile war ships not only with the intention to escape legitimate exercise of the prize right but also to attack and destroy enemy Warships.
 s.As is evident from the memoran- dunn which the imperial German gov ernment today communicated to neu-, tral states, Instructions have been found aboard British steamers prove that the government itself melted it's merchantmen to illegal acts and this in complete contradiction to assur- ances which it communicated to the
