CAMPAIGN IN MAINE

MILLBRIDGE, Me, Aug. 2S. (Spe- clal) Secretary of the Navy Daniels delivered here tonight the first of a series of speeches which he will make in this state during the next few days. which mark his entry in- to the campaign for reelection of President Wilson.
 While he touched upon other top les to some extent, MT, Daniels de- voted himself particularly to answ- ering charges made by Representa- tive Augustus P. Gardner of Massa- chussetts, who has been the Secre- tary's chief critic in Congress.
 Mir. Daniels referred to a series of thirteen questions regarding the administration of the navy which Captain Gardner propounded to the secretary in a letter saying that all of them had been asked by Captain Gardner and answered satisfactorily by the Navy Department many times
 No Attention 10 Answers
 "There are doubtless people who are able to ask moro questions than Captain Gardner propounded to the secretary" but doubt if anyone has ever asked-~the same questions SO many times without paying the slightest attention to the answers.
 'I have done everything but sing them to him, and while, goodness knows l am no singer, if thought that by so doing l could get him to stop asking questions long enough to listen to the answers l would glad ly set them to music"
 Answering one of Captain Gard ners questions, which alleged that twelve Of the twenty.one battleships in the fleet recorded unsatisfactory scores in the 1914 battle practice, the secretary produced a letter from Captain c. F. Plunkett, director of gunnery exercises, who said of his twenty years experience in the navy:
 I know of no time during that period when the enemies of our country had more fear from the bat teries of our fleet than they have today"
 Type of TorpedOes.
 Another question dealt with the type of torpedoes with which the battleships were equipped. Captain Gardner asserted that those in use in 1914 had been declared obsolete by navy ordnance officials. He asked if the secretary knew this when he issued his 1914 report.
 we not only knew 1t but were already manufacturing long range torpedoes to take their places" said Mir. Daniels, adding that these facts also had been contained in his own report and that of the chief ordnance officer to which Mir. Gardner referred.
 CT am also glad to inform him." he continued, that since then all the dreadnoughts in commission have been equipped with these new tor pedoes"
 The secretary refuted Captain Car ner's assertions that there had been undue delay in completing of navy ships of various types now under construction.
 Labor conditions made it difficult to hasten this work, he said, but he department was doing all in its power in this regard and had plans for the 1917 ships already before Con- gress before the appropriation bill authorizing their construction had been passed.

 We do feel so thankful that God Tn his wisdom and mercy has sent us so great a blessing in the revival which has just closed How our hearts go out to him in praise and thanksgiving for the many souls who have been saved and for the great spiritual upbulding of our town, vet there are some who were mt saam. ingly reached. Let those who love him continue to work and pray that many more may be influenced to change their way and turn to the God who has so lovingly sent show CTS of blessings, and is still waiting and calling for those who are vet astray.
