tain the most powerful navy in the world is a absolute necessity to the

to the British navy, plus the French navy. plus the Russian navy, plus

AN IMPOSSIBLE REPORT

The Hearst papers O n several occasions lately have intmated that
Secretary of War Daniels, in furnishing congress with the confidential
report of the General Board of the navy, gave full support % the sug-
gestions made therein. How unfair the inuendoes are and how impo5-
sible it would be for congress to comply with the recommendations OF
the report, are best told in the following editorial extracted from the
New York World:
The confidential report of the Genral Board of the Navy, which
Secretary Daniels has been accused OF "suppressing," turns III 10 be a
plan to spend approximately s., 6OOOO0OO for e ships alone during
the mex six years in order ITO make the United States navy equal to the
most powerful maintained by any other nation of the world"
Naturally Secretary Daniels laid this impossible report aside. and
asked the Board to prepare a program having reference to appropriations
that congress could reasonably be expected to authorize.
We doubt if ten votes could be obtained in either branch of CONGRESS-
for the program recommended by the General board. We doubt if yer
Augustus P. Gardner would vote for it. Had Secretary Daniels based
his recommendations on this first report of the General Board it is GER
tain that n O naval increases It all would be authorized at the present
session OF congress.
When the General Board talks about a navy equal to the los DOW
erul maintained by any other nation it means a navy equal to the British
navy. We do not need a navy equal to the British navy, or should we
obtain one by following the Boards program of construction. To main

the expression of personality, a growing ability to adapt oneself to the

doing we'll Most people fail to do that.

RESEARCH WORK IN CHEMISTRY

Professor Marston T. Bogert of Columbia University in a recent
article points o the value of research work in chemistry as a measure
of natural defense. In part the professor says:
THE nineteenth century has been described Is the age OF physics
and engineering since il witnessed such triumphs IS the development
OF steam and gas engines, and the utilization of electricity IS a source
OF light, heat and power, and as a means of communication. The TWEEN
tieth century will quite certainly be a n age Of chemistry. Germany
realized that some years ago, with results that are o evident to all
If W e would OF be leftb behind in the rae we must pursue similar
course, and that at once. We have yet to convince many OF the nations
of the earth that the form of government in which W e believe is the
best, not only TO the freedom and happiness of the individual, but also
for the growth of the country in physical strength and resourcefuness
Also that in the hour of need it will not be found wanting in the vital
matter of industrial efficiency and solidarity, which is the cornerstone
OF military power.
Our w country is beginning to awaken to the fact that cvIiza-
ton unarned by science it at a terrible disadvantage in the event Of
a struggle for existence, and that this armng cannot be done a short
notice. The result is a loud and urgent call upon the universities, col
leges and technical schools of the land for help"

WILSON AND l.. Y. SHERMAN
 FAVORITES IN ILLINOIS

Special to Gateway by United Pross)
 SPRINGFIELD, III, April H. With only two candidates in the field: Woodrow Wilson on the Democratic ticket and Lawrence Y. Sherman, H. linOis' favorite son, to head the Re- publican party, the first Illinois presi- dential preference primary is being held today.
 Because there are no bitter con- tests, leaders declare the strength of their respective parties will hardly be indicated by the results.
 There are a few districts however, where Republican and Progressive aspirants to the convention have filed "no preference" petitions, where a heavy vote is expected.
 Because all these fights are being waged in the Republican ranks, demo- cratic politicians declare their Op- ponents' vote will be considerably larger than that of the democrats and emphasize that the vote today will not indicate the returns of the president ial election Nov. 2.
 The Republicans say they expect a 100000 plurality here this year Under normal conditions this state is Republican with a plurality of 1OO,- 900.
 The state and county primaries will be held Sept. 13.
