International Navy Possible.

Mr.. Daniels pictures the possibility of
a n international navy to keep the world
peace. Such an agreement cannot be
cherished now. he says, that all the
world is at war. But IL this condition
could not be reached in time of peace"
he adds. may we not believe that it
will be one of the compensations for
the terrible tragedy of war;" Each ma
val power. he says, should assign units
to the international force in proportion
to its wealth and population.
To better protect the interests of the
personnel of the Navy Mr.. Daniels
recommends that Congress deny to any
organization the right to call itself by
the name of Navy this, or Navy
that, unless authorized. and that the
use of the designation Navy" by any
temporary agency or benefit be per-
mitted only with the approval of the
Secretary of the Navy.
That" he said. would insure sane
tion and protection to those agencies
operated by patriotic men and women,
and deny to the ephemeral or unknown
bodies the right to make appeals in
behalf Of the Navy. 1t has occasionally
happened that money contributed by
generous people for men in the service
has gone chiefly to expenses and or
ganization instead to the purposes
which the contributors desired to aid.

STATED IN REPORT
Secretary Daniels Asks ST.
039, GOO, ,502, Not Itemized,
and Additional Men.
REVIEW OF THE WORK DONE

1--WE are ready now," is the war slogan
adopted for the naval service by Sec
retary Daniels in his annual report.
That was the proud response of the COM
mander of the first American destroyer
fotil1a to reach the European war zone
when asked by the British admiral to
whom he reported when his ships would
be ready to operate against the German
submarines.
while I may not speak in detail"
said the Secretary, "of the greater
naval operations. It may be stated that
the record is one L increasing power.
of developing resourcefulness and of
cooperative achievement which the
American people may well survey with
national pride. While the details of
what we have done and how we have
done 1t must wait until 1t is permissible
| to spread them upon public record, this
summary may be given to our people;
I'm the Navy we have prepared for
and have met the duties Of the present;
We are preparing for and are confident
We will be able to meet any call for
greater duties, for moro exacting re-
sponsibi1ities. The best way 20 secure
enduring peace Is to prepare unceas-
ingly. night and day. for the winning
of.the war. whether 1t be long or short.
This We have done; this we are doing
and this We will continue to do"
Over q Billion Not Itemized.
For the coming year, Mr.. Daniels pro-
poses a naval budget of s1.03s. $50. .502,
which is not itemized in his report In
various ways, he says, 1t will be neces-
sary to ask for additional funds as the
session of Congress proceeds. He con-
tents himself with recommending that
the remainder of the three-year pro-
gram already approved be authorized,
including three battleships, one battle
cruiser. three scout cruisers, nine fleet
submarines and number of auxiliary
craft.
Since January 1. 1917, the naval force
$4,000 men to $4,000 officers and $4,000
men. the number Of civil employees
from $4,000 to 10000; the strength Of
dneaI the naval reserve, re sas from a few hun.
monthly expenditure, from $S,000.0O0 to
$6O.0o0.0O0; the number of ships in
commission, from a little more than
900 goo to more tha than 1000; 90; the Hospital
Naval Volunteers. from zero to 10000
men; the Marine Corhs, from S44 Of
f1cers and 9.s2i men to 1,197 officers
and 10000 men, In addition to this
and to the vast orders for material

ice and to many wholly new activities

Request for Housing Facilities.

It is recommended also that Congress
at the present session make an appro-
priation whereby the Navy Department
may rent the Arlington building, at
Vermont avenue and H street, so that
all of its bureaus. except those in the
State. War and Navy buildings. may be
housed conveniently in freproof
building which will give adequate quar-
ters for the important work on hand.
ADVOCATING civil service pensions,
Secretary Daniels says: For some
time there has been annually presented
to Congress and to the executive de-
partments of the government plans for
the retirement with compensation or
pensions Of civilian employees who have
grown old in the public service. The
operations of this compensation and in
surance of soldiers and sailors will no
doubt lead to some just measure by
which civilian employees, by paying
monthly installments In their years OF
vigor. may make provision. through
governmental direction and assistance.

Asks for Increased Personnel.

The Secretary asks that the perma-
nent enlisted personnel be increased
Ito 129. 900 bIuejackets, 10000 apprentice
seamen, 1000 men in the trade schools
and 1000 for the air service. For war
purposes he asks that the figures be
14.000 in trade schools and 10000 in
aviation.
Mr.. Daniels again emphasizes his
feeling that promotion should be made
on the basis of merit throughout the
Navy, and that the ''fetich" of senior
ity be abandoned. from admiral to en-
sign" He recommends that the Sc
Elective system now be extended to the
star as well as the line. He also ex-
didate for admission to the Naval Acad-
emy should be compelled to serve
year before the mast as an enlisted
man before entering the school.
The Secretary pays tribute to the Ma
rine Corps. which has lived up to it's
best traditions, he says. as will be
shown when the war is over. The ma
rine regiment in France, he says. will
soon be considerably augmented in it's
Development Of naval aircraft has
been remarkable, the Secretary says,
due largely to the success of the Lib
erty motor.
"It may be stated with confidence"
he says. that at the present moment
we have an American flying boat ac-
| tually flying with an American engine
| which is unexcelled by any foreign
craft of the type"
The Secretary discloses the fact that
American coast patrol stations have
been authorized abroad and will be in
operation next year, but gives no de-
tails.
