Congress Must Indorse
Daniels Program For
Big Destroyer Fleet

Within a few days Secretary Of the
Navy Daniels will start a campaign &c
have congress appropriate S35o0o0,OoC
as a minimum TO rush the building Of a
large destroyer fleet. II is to be hoped
congress, which so quickly saw the
utility and urgency for great airplane
program, viii be equally prompt in this.
The destroyer has lived up to its name
1t has most effectively fought the L.
boats.
Swift, seaworthy, armed heavily
enough to combat any submarine, it has
terrorized the kaisers U-boat captains
As we get further into this war, the
need for destroyers will increase.
Transports will cross the waters laden
with our troops, food, ammunition, ar
tillery, oil and everything a big army
needs.
1t will be necessary to keep the supply
STEADY ana constant,
The ships will have to run the gaunt-
let Of German submarines.
Here the destroyers come in.
They are the best type of war vessels
for convoy purposes.
They can circle transport, can throw
a huge smoke screen to conceal the con-
voyed ships and can overtake and ram
any submarine on the surface.
Their guns can get" the subs, and
this is not swivel-chair opinion, but dem
onstrated fact.
The American destroyers cooperating
with the British and French have done
splendid work
English admiralty officers frankly
praise them.
Their only regret is America has not
more of this splendid type Of vessel.
That defect Daniels is trying to remedy.
Some may have misgivings because
the work on our big battleships, battle
cruisers and submarines is not being
rushed.
But these can wait The pressing
need is to fight submarines.
In this neither battleships nor sub
marines are of any use.
Conquer the U-boats and the ocean
problem is simple. OF course, by chance,
the German high seas feet may come
out, but the combined English and
French fleets can more than take care
of this, and somewhere in the Atlantic
splendid Americas high seas feet is
ready and fit.
So the answer is-destroyers and
more, until we have a feet second to
none.

Freight Traffic Changes-Market Lo-
Ca.ly Already Affected.

With the railroad strike avertcd, en-
bargoes lifted, freight congestion re-
levcd to a considerable extent, and the
approach of warm weather, foodstuff
prices are webbing. In the large cities
wholesalers and jobbers say the effect
of the above conditions is rnanifestine

Potatoes are expected within week
TO slump materially. Large shipments
from the West, which have been held up
in transit, are beginning to arrive at the
eastern distribution centers and they will
continue to arrive.
The sugar situation, which became
alarming with the cmbargoes last week,
is Frightening. The jobbers expect a
break in the price of the graduated
product within two weeks, While there
is no surplus Of the commodity on the
local market all of the stores are now
able TO fill reasonable orders and not re-
strict their customers as much as they
have been doing in the last few weeks

Play and Fast Passing.

Deerfcld academy of Deerfeld, Mass,
Presented basketball team i'll the
circles around the taat plsys
school team. Two of the visitors were
classy enough to make any college
team and all of them were larger and
heavier and had longer reaches than
had the local boys. They ran away
with the game by Il score of 30 to 10.
The visitors showed that they had
been well coached and they had team
play, for schoolboy team, down to Il
fine point. In the first period cspc-
cially, when the regular team played,
they completely lost the local players.
Brattleboro was so bcwildered by the
signal play and fast passing that it
was well along towards the middle of
the half before a Brattleboro player
had q shot at his opponents goal.
In the first half the visitors rolled
up "a points, IS of them before Brat
tlehoro scored one on foul. Brattle-
boro's score for that half was three
points.
In the second half both teams made
some changes Plumb replaced How
ard, and played his best game of the
season. He was the only local boy who
had an eye ,'or the basket, leading his
mates in scoring, although he played
only half of the game.
Tumey and Vim were the bright
particular stars of the visitors, the
former getting baskets from the
floor and the latter eight. Both com
pletely outplayed their opponents and
in part this was due to the fact that
they have played OH the team sevcra
