Daniels and Eiske

THE TIMES-DISPATCH has been one of
the newspapers that have upheld Secre-
tary Daniels in his controversy with Admiral
Bradley A. Fiske, joining in insistence that
there should be a public investigation OF the
issues OF veracity that had been raised be-
tween the TWO men.
One of these issues was based on 4 report
advocating Preparedness. that Admiral Fske
said he had submitted to the secretary in
November, 1914. Mr.. Daniels said he had
not seen this report a the time Of submission,
and subsequently, made this additional com-
ment: II find upon inquiry that ii fled
with the chief clerk without my knowledge
that it had been written" He now says
that while he has no recollection. he accepts
Admiral Fishes statement that the report
actually was placed in his hands.
The least that be said of this matter
is that it places Mr.. Daniels in an exceedingly
bad light before the country, and completely
absolves Admiral Fiske of all blame.

Now for the Parade

MYTH a committee appointed to consider
w plans and Adjutant General Sale back
from Camp Oglethorpe, arrangements for the
preparedness parade should be completed
rapidly General Sale among the first
in Richmond to advocate such a demonstra-
ton. and his official position will enable him
to make 1t military success.
But the parade should be more than mill
tary. The citizens Of Richmond ought TO
display their interest by taking part in It,
Industrial preparedness for modern war is
quite as important as military prepa redness
and the city's great industries should have
representation. So should the commercial
organizations. So should every trade and
calling.
Nor should the pageant idea be neglected
We must have spiritual preparedness, and
Virginia's spirit must be dead indeed if l.
can gain no new inspiration from the con-
temptation of old -herdsms and sacrifices
graphically portrayed.
An alliance of the city government com
inerc1al organizations and the military is
what is needed. Richmond, we believe is
for preparedness in 1very good sense, and
Congress should be left in no doubt On that
point.
