LAKE SERVICE MENACED
Canada to Remove Sailors of Enemy
Nationalities From American
Ships at Her Ports.

American ships operating on the
great lakes, and which touch at Cana
dian ports, are to be searched, and all
sailors Of belligerent countries found
aboard Will be removed. This became
known today in a complaint to the De-
partment of Commerce from the Lake
Carriers Association.
There are many Germans, Austrians
and Hungarians employed on these
vessels as seamen, and it is declared
that for the Canadian government to
carry out this new policy would result
in a congestion of the traffic on the
lakes, it is believed, because it would
rob the vessels of the necessary num-
Der of certificated seamen required under
the new seamen'S law. 1t is probable
the Department of Commerce will take
up the carriers plant with the State
Department.
Assistant Secretary Sweet of the de-
partment has just returned from a tour
of the lake ports in an effort to smooth
the way for the opening up of traffic
as soon as possible, and to provide
means whereby the necessary mum Der
of certificated Seamen could be obtained
by the vessels without delay.

Alleged Refusal stirs Up Trouble.
Refusal to pay the odds yesterday

DANIELS GAGS HIGH OFF,
GERS OF AMERICAN NAVY
Admiral Fiske Warned Not to Say
Two and Two Make Four.

In order that readers of The Tri-
bune may gain an understanding of
the methods of Josephus Daniels, sec
retarv of the navy, in his relations
with the officers and his attitude
toward Congress and the public, we
publish the following Washington dis
patch dated March 25th:
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske de-
clared before the House Naval COM
mittee Friday that, regardless of how
possible to carry out the General
Boards plan for making the American
navv ""ual to any afloat by 1925 be-
cause it would take ten years longer
to develop and train the personnel nee
essary to man the navy in first rank
"You can, if you appropriate enough
money. build enough ships to equal
the ships of any other navy in three
years." said the admiral. "but ships dc
not make navy. You,would not have
the men, officers or training that would
bring navy up to first rank. Why
you can't train chess plcver in five
years and how can you train a corps
of stategists in that time? Great Bri.
tain has been 800 wears training its
men and building up its navy, We
can never advance to first place unit
we change our system Of direction and
preparation for war. We can't catch
up with Germany in FIVE years AS tc
training men, we need to train enlisted
men. hut the greatest need is the train
ing of the admirals."
Reiterating his oft-expressed opinion
that the navy never could be made eff
fcient as long as its policies were sub
ject to change by every new secretar,
of the navy the admiral urged legisla
ton for the establishment of genera
staff with statutory powers and to de
fine and extend the powers of ths

No trace of the decay should remain.
Tubers externally free from evidence
of disease should then be cut into seed
l'pieces. The first cut should be made
across the stem end. The stem-end
portion should always be discarded.
If there is any deep discoloration at

differences with Secretary Daniels. In
response to questions he said the sec
rotary had granted him month leave
of absence when he asked for three
mon his and that Mr.. Daniels had told
him he didn't want naval officers IN
Washington talking to congressman
and newspaper men.
In response to question from Rep
resentative Britten, Rep, Admiral
Fiske denied that the General Board
had recommended that Huerta should
be recognized in Mexico.
"Did the General Board recommend
against an attack on Ver- Cruz! in
quired Britten.
81 think I should not answer that
question"
"Why did we order Our small yes
sells away from Tampico" persisted
| Britten.
Chairman Blodgett ordered witness
not to answer question OF policy OF
his commander-in-chief.
I Mr.. Britten inquired if the first dis
agreement between the admiral and
Secretary Daniels was not over the
fleet remaining in Mexican waters SO
long as to impair its efficiency. The
witness said that was not exactly cor
rect. but that he felt the efficiency OF
the feet was impaired by the stay in
Mexican waters and he had felt it his
duty to lay the strictly military aspect
before the secretary.
Representative Britten insisted that
it was plain the admiral had resigned
from his post as aide for operation be-
cause of some disagreement with the
secretary. The admiral, however
would not admit a disagreement. He
did say, however, that the department
disregarded a request from Admiral
j Dewey that he be assigned to the Gen
eral Board and sent him to the War
College. -,.s
Representative Britten questioned
Admiral Fiske closely about his per.
sonal relations with Secretary Dan
iels. He inquired into the attempt Of
the officer to obtain leave of absence
from his assignment to the Newport
War College this spring.

Problem of Production Under Irri-

The problem of securing healthy
seed potatoes is one of great import

growers of Utah and Idaho are warn
ed by specialists of the U. S. Depart

grown in the east or in foreign coun-
tries are no healthier than those
grown on their own irrigated tracts

imported seed potatoes.

"Yes," was the response.
