For the first time. the secretary
does net make public the report of the
general OF the navy His synopsis OF
the boards work shaws that il has
been OF a most confidential character
and the report is withheld for that rea-
son. Mr.. Daniels says This report is
the usual source of the future build

tary contents himself this year. how

ing three battleships. one battle cruis-
er, tire scout cruisers, none fleet sub

The secretary asks that the perman-
ent enlisted personnel be increased to
1890 bluejackets. 10000 apprentice
seamen. 1000 men in the trade
and 1000 for the air service. for war
purposes he asks that the figures be
10000 blue jackets, $4,000 appren-
tices. 1900 in trade schools and TO-
coo in aviation.
Mr.. Daniels again emphasizes his
feeling that promotion should be made
on The basis of merit throughout the

secretary suggests. adding:

ITO such a police of the sea this
country will be ready to make foil

pansion that now crowds all the old

EUery American
Should Work to
Win Great War

II you are an American citizen you
must do something to help win this
war. You cannot stand idly and sell
fishly looking or while your neigh
bors are giving their lives.
You realize all this, but perhaps
you are not clear as to exactly what
YOU should do TO help.
If you own farm land. see that IL
is used for the purpose God intended
it-for the raising of crops. You will
be providing food for our armies and
making profits for yourself.
If you manufacture goods, econo,
mize in time. labor and material in
your factory or shop. Work harder
and more efficiently. Above all. stop
waste. Again. see that you secure the
business of your home town in your
line of goods This leaves the eastern
manufacturer free to make goods for
the army. and for our allies. and cuts
out needless transportation expenses.
incidentally, all these things will bring
you greater profit.
If you are a clerk in an office or
store, work harder-it will bring you
more pay. Cut out some foolish ex-
travagance. and so save money.
II you are a housewife. follow out
Mr.. Hoover's advice Again. teach
YOUR children thrift, and the value of
money. hTe task will repay you
many times over in satisfaction and
actual wealth.
What shall you do with the money
YOU save by this means. Why. loan
II to the United States government
at per cent interest Buy a Liberty
bond. The banks have some bonds on
hand right now, and there will be an
other Liberty loan issue carly next
year.
Imagine. if you will. that you are
sitting at table with your great presi-
dent, talking this matter over. and he
is asking What are you prepared to
do to help me, to help our country?
surely you will do something; what
shall il be-"
The officials of this bank. as agents
for the United States government, ask
you this question on behalf OF our
revered leader.

presses the conviction that every can

Academy should be compelled 10 serve

The report touches on the vorius

might be of service to an enemy.
