The Navy Department authorizes the following:
 Feeding and clothing the Navy IS one of the big tasks of the war, par ticularly when in this day of high prices the United States is determin- ed to keep up it's reputation of hav- ing "the best fed, best clad Navy in the world"
 With it's reserves and auXiliarieS, the Navy will soon have force of 100000 To provide three square meals a day for this large number Of men requires mountains of food. The principal items for a single month are; Meat (refrigeratedD, 5,5O9,6OO pounds; flour, 4,S54.OOO pounds; veg etables (mostly potatOes), S,769,20O pounds; butter, 62O,4OO pounds; coffee, 462,OOO pounds; sugar, l,67S,OOO pounds; beans (white navy), lOO,2OO pounds; tomatoes, 612,20O pounds; corn, 25l,OOO pounds; milk, (evap- orated), 624,6O0 pounds.
 Steady Stream of Supplies
 To furnish this food requires a steady stream of supplies to every navy yard, training station, port and ship. Most of the articles must be arranged for long in advance, and there must be no hitch or delay in transportation or delivery. The Navy draws it's supplies from many sections of the Union-Aour, from the grain centers; meat from the packing houses; canned vegetables and fruits from the places where the canning industry Aourishes; coffee and sugar, from the principal producing and dis tributing points. All this must be brought together at the ports where it is needed to provision ships or pro- vide for the men in training ashore.
 Clothing the greater Navy has been no small undertaking. More than 100000 men have been enlisted in the Regular Navy and Naval Reserves since war was declared, and to outfit these men the following was requir- ed; Overshirts, 100000; dress jump CTS, 100000; blue trousers, 100000; overcoats, 100000; blue caps, 100000; white hats, 100000; white undress jumpers, 3OOOOOS white trousers, 100000; drawers, nainsook, 20O0,OOO; drawers, heavy, 100000; undershirtS, heavy, 100000; underShirts, light, 100000; jerseys, 100000; watch raps, 100000; leggins, 100000 pairs; neck erchiefs, 100000; gloves, 100000 pairs; socks, 100000 pairs; shoes, 100000 pairs; mattresses, 100000; mattress covers, 100000; blankets, 100000; towels, 100000.
 All this in addition to providing for the requirements of the men who

Difficulties Overcome

"The great diffiuclty we experienced in getting blue cloth, of which there was very little i in the market, has been overcome. To provide for future needs, we have this week awarded contracts for the manufacture of E. 500,000 yards of blue uniform cloth. The manufacturers may either secure the wool from other sources or from the Navy, as they desire.
 Contracts have been given for B. 750,000 pairs of socks, for hundreds of thousands of pairs of shoes, and for many other articles of clothing which will be required. We are an ticipating our needs and providing not only for the present emergency, but for the creation of reserve.
 "It is our business to furnish the men who are fighting our battles on the seas with everything required for their comfort, and we are determined to do it. America is giving them the best in the shop"

 There probably will be a quarter of a million men in the naval service be- fore many months, and to keep them in clothing, vast, quantities are re- ouired and must be arranged for long in advance. Here are some of the big contracts for future needs that have been awarded by the Navy Depart ment: Cotton socks, S,500yO00 pairs; woolen socks, 6OO,0OO pairs; shoes, 100000 pairs; jerseys, 100000; cot ton underShirtS, 3,OOO,OOO; nalnsooK drawers, 100000; handkerchiefs, A.

How it Was Done

This was only one of the many tasks of the Bureau of Supplies and Ac- counts resultant from war. Speaking of how it has been performed, Rear Admiral McGowan, chief of that bu- reau and Paymaster-General of the Navy, said:
 "When war was declared recruits poured into the Navy at the rate of more than a thousand a day. From every naval station came the call for uniforms, blankets, and all the vari- ous things needed by the thousands.
 At the Brooklyn and Charleston clothing factories it was not case merely of working overtime, but all the time, the output being limited, not available, but very much by the short alone by the number of operatives supply of materials obtainable.
 "The Navy manufactures most of it's uniforms in it's own factories. The naval clothing factory at Charleston is now turning out daily 2,5OO pairs of white trousers, 1,5O0 white jump CTS, and 1 800 suits of dungarees( ov- eralls). When the large addition which was completed some time ago is working with the full number of operatives, this factory will be able

DANIELS AGAIN GAGS FISKE.
Rear Admiral Not Permitted to Address
Meeting in New York.

NEW YORK, March 30.-Rear Ad
miral Bradley \. FiSke. I. s. ", retired,
who had been expected to speak on The
Mind of the Navy, at a meeting of
the New York Electric society was I'M
able TO deliver his address because See
retarv OF the Nav Daniels withheld
his permission. it was announced by
George H. Guy, secretary Of the so
ciety. Secretary Daniels recently sent
q note to Admiral Fiske directing him
not to make public speeches without
special permission and Mr. Guy eX.
planned at some length the unsuccessful
effort which had been made to arrange
for his appearance at the meeting last
night.
Mr. Guy said he made a personal APP
peal to Secretary Daniels, who ex-
pressed sympathy at til predicament of
the society, but said he did not feel
he could change his ruling in respect
to Admiral Fiske. Mr. Guy left with
the secretary a copy of the speech the
admiral intended to deliver, with the
request that il be censored by some one
in the navy department. Mr.. Daniels
retained the speech and said he would
look it over, Mr.. Guy said. Secretary
Daniels returned the speech, according
to Mr. Guy, with note saying the rule
relating to Admiral Fiske still held.
Mr.. Guy said Admiral Fiskc spoke
Tuesday night "through misunder-
standing on the part of someone as
TO the meaning of a communication
from Washington denying him permits
sion to speak.
In his address at the Navy League
meeting, Admiral Fiskc declared there
was at least an even chance that Ger
many would be victorious in the war
and that she might be able to dictate
terms of peace which would permit her
to send her feet to this side of the At
lantic.
