There Will Be No Trouble About
Fairgrounds This Year.

There will be no difficulty about
providing for playground work, ac-
cording to M. c. Holman. clerk of the
board of education. 1.-The school
board has plenty of funds at its dis
posal," said Holman today, land it
will only be necessary to transfer some
of the funds reserved for other pur-
poses to the playground work until the
next levy"
Two weeks ago it was discovered
that through clerical error no special
levy for playground work had been
provided for. 1t was feared that
playground work would have to come
to Standstill this summer but now
that the matter is cleared up prepara-
tions are being rapidly made by W. P

Secretary Roosevelt Thinks
Annapolis Training Enough.

Washington, March 29.-Develop-
ments of specialists in engineering
aviation and other lines in the navy
was urged today by Assistant Secretary
Roosevelt of the navy before the house
naval committee. He opposed secur-
ing such specialists from scientific
schools, stating that Annapolis acad-
envy training for all naval officers was
essential. He said he did not know
whether Secretary Daniels agreed with
him on this matter.
, Mr. Roosevelt went on record
against exclusive government manu-
facture of war munitions.
To an assertion that battleships
played a minor part in the European
war, Mr.. Roosevelt said:
"Dreadnoughts have won the great
est victory of the war and not fired a
shot They have accomplished what
they were built to accomplish-to
keep the other mans fleet off the
seas
eff we had enough dreadnoughts
we'd win a bloodless victory in case
of war"
