DANIELSURGES
|. MONSTER SHIPS
With HUGE GUNS
Recommends Law Be Passed
Giving U. S. Work Preference
Over Private Contracts

(Assoriated Press by Federal Wirelessl
WASHINGTON. ID. C., Dec. IL
Secretary Daniels appeared before
the house naval committee yesterday
and argued that a bill making the
claim OF the government TO preference
in military and naval supplies binding
by law instead Of merely a matter OF
choice on the part of the manufactur-
er, become a part of the naval pro-
gram to be adopted this winter.
The secretary told the members OF
the committee that unless some such
legislation as he advocates is passed.
he fears that the construction of the
battIeships authorized by the last ses-
SIGN of congress would be delayed in
definitely because the yards of the
nation are choked with orders for
private work
This is also true of the steel plants.
Some of the largest of the last named,
he declared, are working three shifts
OF men a day and will not be able to
catch up with their contracts for two
years. lE-'
Wants Shipyards
Secretary Daniels told the members
Of the committee that he intends to
ask Congress for $4,000, 900 annually.
to be used in the construction and
equipment of navy yards and of gov
eminent shipyards where the impera-
lively important work that is needed
Dy the navy can be done without loss
of time, while awaiting the compile
tion of some private contracts.
He also outlined the recommends
ton of the general board, which urges
that construction of monster battle
ships carrying twelve of the heaviest
possible guns and capable of doing at
least 20 knots an hour These ships
would measure about $4,000 tons bur-
den il the plans are carried into ef-
feet.
Needs of Army
Secretary Baker had written to
Speaker Clark on the needs of the
war department, and especially of the
problem which has been formed by
the conti:Sed presence of the militia
as a border guard
Mr. Baker said in his message to
Mr. Clark that 1884 guardsmen are
on the border and have been there
since the last day of August This is
out of total of 163.S00 guardsmen in
the United States under the federal
service. These men were sent there
without previous training, adds Mr..
Baker, who then touches on the obvi-
Gus lessons which the situation teach
es.
Volunteers q Failure
The secretary of war declared that
the army officers assigned to duty in
Europe as observers have reported
that most of the difficulties which
Great Britain has had to face and
practically all of the military reyers-
es she has suffered have been due en-
tirely to the system of voluntary en-
listment which prevailed in that coun-
try prior to the passage of the uni
yersal service act, law which did
not become of effect until after two
years of war
Even the recent cabinet crisis was
the direct outcome of that state of
military unpreparedness, writes the
secretary.

our Normal school graduates in favor
OF mainland college graduates, why not
state the issue plainly?
Il believe the board OF commission
ers Of public instruction is capable OF
handling the situation and making cor
rections and advances when and
where required. II they feel they are
not, they certainly can indicate their
need for assistance
In seeking assistance it should be
such as has prepared itself by deep
study and knowledge Of our striking
ly diverse local conditions, and is not
above our practical requirements.

WORST IN A DECADE.
Net Car shortage ON November
Placed at IOs,OIO.

Tho largest car shortage In this coun-
Try In nearly a decade existed on No
vember 1 last. when there was reported
10 the American Railway Association a
net shortage OF 10s.0l0 freight cars.
This figure In recent years was exceeded
only by the shortage OF 131.s+7 cars.
which existed on February 6, 1907. The
present shortage compares with an ac-
,uai net surplus on August of s.76?
idle cars. The number Of freight cars
owned by the railroads increased from
l.ssl.557 to 2.4%7.l7s from July I. 1907.
10 July 1, 1915. or about 20 per cent.
Figures compiled by this association
since January 2. 1907. show that for
the er''re period preceding August l
last 4 r-'. existed In this country a con-
tlnuo - net surplusage OF cars not In
use on American rail lines, except for
about one month In 1909. three months
in 1919, one month in 1918 and one
month in March. 1915. In 1905 there
was at one time a surplusage of more
than 413.000 cars, and at no time In the
year were there fewer than 100000 idle
ears.
In 1909 the maximum net surplusage
was SS2.bi3 cars In 1910. as Of July
g. the maximum surplus was nearly 49,
900, and there was throughout that year
q net surplus Of at least 1000 cars not
requisitioned by shippers For 1911 sur
plus cars registered a maximum Of more
than 100000 cars OH March Is. and a,
10 time In the year were there less than
10000 cars standing idle.
In January. 1912. the net surplus wal
approximately 10000. From Novem.
Der. 1913. until March. 1916. there wal
an uninterrupted surplusage, the number
reaching to more than 100000. when the
figures became so large that the Amer
lean Railway Association ceased COM
plling them. Work OF compilation was
resumed on February /. 1915. when id!,
cars still numbered more than 279.000.
