DANIELS NAVY
PLAN DOOMED
Five-Year Program Is to Be
Killed in Com
mittee
GENERAL BOARD
WILL BE GUIDE
The One Year Construction
Scheme Is to Be
Adopted

Washington, D. c., May ls--Defeat OF
the five year building program for tine
navy advocated by Secretary Daniels
and Incorporated in the original navy
bill, is certain when the House navy com.
mittee meets to-day. Democratic mem
bers conceded yesterday. A one year pro-
gram, more extensive than that provided
in the secretary's recommendations, will
be substituted.
Adoption of the general boards rec
concentrations on the first line ships,
with a compromise on the number of
auxiliary vessels and submarines, is ex-
pected to be recommended by the COM
mittee. The board recommended a pro-
gram that would place the navy second
in the list of world fleets within five
years.
To place the navy in second place
the board recommended construction of
the following vessels in five years: Six
ten battle cruisers, TWEEN
ty-one scout ships, eighty destroyers,
nine feet submarines and seventyeight
coast submarines.

The Use of Utensils.

Fine cooking depends much on the iu
dicious use of utensils. One celebrated
chef was devoted to the use of sleeves
and visitors admitted to his kitchen
gazed awestruck at the number of sleeves
of every imaginable shape and every
possible degree of fineness. Such ideas
may be ridiculed as "fads" but they
prove at all events an attention to detail
without which there can be no good cook
ing. 1t is very little additional expense
to a kitchen outfit to have proper skim
mers, ladies', long spoons, measuring
cups, tunnels, and yet they make great
difference in the accuracy of the work.
All these implements are now made in
enameled ware, which much simplifies
the care they need to be kept in good
order. 1t also insures the best results
for the cooking as these spoons, ladies
and skimmers can be used with perfect
safety in acids and win not darken any
sauce, however delicate.

WILSON WATCHING FOR
CHANCE TO END WAR
This a Matter of General Behef--Presi-
dent Expected to Address League
to Enforce Peace.

Washington, D. c., May ls.-President
Wilson will probably be the leading
speaker before the sessions of the League
to Enforce Peace, which is scheduled to
meet here on May 20 and 27. While his
name does not appear on the list OF
speakers, it is understood that he has
been invited and that in case of accept
ance his address will reveal to some ex-
tentsthe status OF the peace negotiations
which, according to persistent rumor,
have proceeding quietly in diplomatic
circles during the last few weeks.
While there is little that is concrete and
definite to tie the statement to, it is new
ertheless matter of general belief here
that the president is watching for the
first successful opportunity to take a
step which shall lead to the termination
of the war Authoritive intimations yes
terday, for example, that the president
has replied to the pope's letter relative
to peace. The publication yesterday OF
the presidents remarks on Tuesday to
the National Press club, in the course of
which he emphasized Americas disinter-
estedness in the war and the necessity
for the United States to keep its head
in order the better to serve the cause Of
peace, is taken by many as another straw
showing the direction of the wind.
Former President Taft, Oscar Strauss,
Edward A. Gilene of Boston, Hamilton
Holt, editor of the Independent, Profess
sor George Grafton Wilson of the Har-
ward law school. and Professor J. B.
Clark of Columbia are among the prin-
cipal speakers on the program of the ses-
sions of the league to enforce peace.

A Home Without Pain
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

There Is scarcely home in many
places that does not have, ready for
instant use, a bottle of Minard's Lini-
ment, because this old, reliable, creamy
liniment always brings speedy relief
from pain. Its influence is felt the
moment 1t is applied-and it has been
sold successfully in thousands Of towns
for more than so years-because most
every one knows that where Minard's
is, you will find home without pain.
Pain of every kind gives way to
simple Minard Liniment treatment. 1t
is stainless, economical and clean to
use, and is always dependable.

WILSON ORDERS
HASTE IN MAIL
PROTEST NOTE
Sharp Message Will Go to Great Britain
This Week Making a Strong
Protest Against Seizure
of Mail.

Washington, May ls.-The American
note to Great Britain, making a strong
protest against the seizure of United
States mail, is practically completed and
will probably be sent this week, it was
officially stated yesterday. The president
it is understood, is very anxious that the
communication should be forwarded be-
fore next week, and he so advised the
state department.
Owing to the vast amount of detail
which has to be covered in formulating
the protest, it had been thought the note
could not be drawn before next week, but
with speed up orders before them de-
partment officers now hope 10 have it on
the cables by Saturday.

portant thyroid glands on either side of
the windpipe, the great stabilizers of the
human body, cannot do their work
promptly, and the corelations between
other glands in the head, throat and

which store up the reserve strength and
vitality so much needed in later life and
which regulate the entire body and
head. The thymus glands in the chest
are particularly important to growing
girls.
