The Deutschland is a perfect incarna- =
tion of the German spirit. typifying dar-
ing. science and commerce
The Lokal Anzeiger says:
Not for the sake of stopping the i'm
portant, but few thousand tons OF rubber
and nickel have cruisers been set on our
trail and the highway of the seas bar
riered. Our enemies know full we'll that
the successful return of this tiny craft
would contribute materially toward an

DANIELS RAPS GARDNER
FOR NAVAL CRITICISM
Secretary Claims Enemies Have Been
Aided by Verbal Attacks on
Our Target Practice.
CBy the International New, Service i

tBy the International News Seryfce)
Machais. Me. August 25.-Secretary
OF the Navy Josephus Daniels devoted
his campaign speech here tonight to
a detailed reply to the thirteen uues-
tons about naval preparedness re-
Gently propounded by Representative
Augustus Gardner. of Massachusetts.
Mr.. Daniels said. in part:
Mr.. Gardner seeks to make out
that our naval gunnery had degener-
ated to an inefficiency almost incred-
ible.' Owing to Secretary Meyer's
parsimony and lack of conception of
the navy, the elementary target prac-
tice was discontinued and our gun
merry practice did fall off lamenta bly,,
but to the target practice this year
has not been attacked and the results
of the target practice to be held in
september and the following months
will be given the widest publicity.
I believe that this form Of criticism
will undermine the confidence of the
people in the fleet and the confidence
OF the fleet people in their ships and
in the officers. I consider attacks on
our target practice have been Of the
greatest use to every enemy of the
government"

The complaints, he stated, are to the
effect that passengers get on at the

move forward and the platform becomes
Congested while there is plenty of room
in the rear. Passengers who try to get
off at the front door are blocked.
Street traffic on one side of the street
