.U-BOAT ELABORATION
EXPLAINED BY DANIELS
"Overpowering Sense Of Joy" Die
tated Phraseology.

Secretary Daniels yesterday explain
ed the alleged elaboration Of Ad-
mirsl Clesve's report on the subms-
rine attack against the PershinE
transports. It rs contained In a letter
TO Senator Tillman in response 10 the
latter's inquiry.
An overpowering sense Of Joy IN
both War and Navy departments
upon the arrival Of the troops. says
Secretary Daniels, dictated the phrase
ology OF the announcement Of their
encounter. This encounter had been
known for several days before II vas
made public.
The exact dispatch Of Admiral
Cleaves was not made public. the Sec
retary says, because II came IN code
and il IS the inviolable practice Of
the department never to make public
the text OF code messages. II they
were so published. Mr.. Daniels says,
the enemy in possession Of any Of
our code might solve Il all.
Mr.. Daniels assumes entire res ponS
sihility for the version Of the incident
which reached the public. He refers
to the story. coming from the Creel
bureau and generally supposed to
have been the product Of the Creel
committee, as the statement which
I gave to the public"
'If the terms battle and attacked
in force are open to criticism" Mr..
Daniels says, the fact still remains
that the rejoicing was warranted"

your lives shall be as blameless as
the ideals of your nation. II we are
to win this war. our young men must
keep their bodies pure and clean anu

Challenging pessimistic statements
by uniformed people to the effect
that patriotism in the United States
is at a low ebb, Secretary Daniels
declared that past events had proved
that the spirit of '76 is not dead. and
the youth of America are Just as
fearless and liberty-loving as they
ever were.

Owen Defends
SENATE ACTION
Oklahoman Says the Food
Control Bill Was Not
Needlessly DELAYED.

Sweeping criticism that war prep
arations are not proceeding speedily
is not justified, said Senator Robert
l. Owen, of Oklahoma. who fathered
the scheme to create a joint commit
tee on war expenditures.
At the same time, II became known
that the Secretaries Of War and the
Navy had sanctioned Senator Owens
aircraft board. Mr.. Owen proposed
this board as an amendment to the
$40, 900, 600 aviation bill, but the SEN
ate rejected the scheme. The purpose
OF the board was to supervise con-
tracts for airplanes, engines, etc.
THE resolution 1 offered as a part
Of the food control bill was somewhat
different from that offered by Senator
Weeks" said Senator Owen yester-
day. His committee was on the gen.
eral conduct of the war. Mine was tc
supervise the financial expenditure.
1T was also designed to promote
action. Speedy and expeditions pro-
cedure Is always necessary"
The statements of patriotic and de-
fense societies. that talk and inde-
cision" and delay and pickering
were responsible for slowness in war
progress was called to the attention
Of the Oklahoma Senator.
'T have heard" he said. "of exam
pies of army officers who are not IA
miliar with commercial matters being
imposed upon and overreached. have
every confidence in the integrity of
these men. But they may have been
held back in some instances.
There has been criticism OF the
Senate that 1t has wasted time in dis
cussing the food control bill. There
may have been some thoughtless talk,
but the great body of Senators are
not disposed to waste time in this
emergency. And this is shown by the
speed in which the aviation bill was
passed yesterday"
1t was at this point in his conver-
sation that Mr.. owen said his plan
for an aircraft board had the approval
OF Mr.. Daniels and Mr.. Baker.
81 did not announce this yesterday
when the bill was being voted upon, -
he said. THE Senate seemed to fear
that any change would hinder swift
passage of the measure"

NAVAL GUN FACTORY
WILL Be ENLARGED
Secretary Daniels Asks $7,500y000
for Extension at Washington Yards.

Secretary Daniels is asking for ST.
500 900 for additions to the Naval Gun
Factory at the Washington Navy
Yard. It is proposed to extend the
equipment of the yard in buildings
and machinery for the manufacture
of guns, telescopes and other optical
instruments, range finders. towers
and all the other equipment that go
with naval guns.
The navy, as Mr.. Daniels pointed
out yesterday. is in a much better
shape for ordnance than is the army,
which recently had to turn over TO the
French factories the manufacture OF
its heavy artillery.
with the accomplishment OF the
extensions contemplated" Secretary
Daniels said, ample manufacturing
facilities will be provided for the man
ufacture of from 800 TO 900 torpedoes
per annum, at least 5000 mines per
month, a large increase in the manu-
facture OF guns and accessories and
the manufacture and repair OF the
larger nart of the optical work for the
entire naval establishment"
Contracts for ordnance are becoming
increasingly difficult to place, Mr..
Daniels says. despite large advance
ments for the construction OF shops.
outside the navy. Though, after the
present emergency, these shops will
theoretically revert to the navy, they
are so scattered that the additions to
the Washington plant will be far more
valuable

Food Bill Differences
In Senate and House

Chief points Of difference between
the Senate and House on the food
control bill will probably be:
House will no doubt insist on in
clusion OF bear and wine in prohi-
bition clause.
House will likely oppose the sec
ton fixing a price for wheat.
House is not inclined to favor
restricting licensing TO goods in in
terstate commerce alone.
House may insist that there be
one-man control instead Of the
board of three authorized by the
Senate.
Conferees upon the bill will be

In the early spring our people were
urged to plant all possible vacant lots

Today almost every dooryard has its
garden and yet the price on green
groceries in the market were never

1T was also noted that certain seed
merchants took marked advantage OF
their opportunity at planting time TO
greatly raise prices. A similar rise
has marked the price of flags when
it became popular for people to dis
play the national emblem.
THE campaign to have the pur-

Sammies Get Hard Training
For Fighting Work Ahead

ready for actual fighting before the
time generally anticipated.
Yesterday was the first pay day at
the American camp. The French
tradespeople were made happy indeed
not long after the paymaster Of the
American expedition had paid out
over 100000 francs (s2oo.0oO). The
''Sammies" sought eagerly to spend
their money but found little outlet for
II. Many souvenirs were bought for
the folks back home. Willy veterans
inveigled the rockies into various In
nocent pastimes. that resulted in a
sudden exchange Of money. How
ever. most of the American soldiers
went to bed nursing q Rockefeller
feeling.
With plenty Of money in their pock-
cts the troops wandered through the
town buying whatever struck their
fancy. At night there was not q
wrist watch left IN any store. The
difficulty of purchash is obviated by
American interpreters, most of whom
are college men who give their serv-
ices freely to help the cause. These
interpreters are performing army
signal service. On the other hand
there are a number Of men attached
to the general stan who instruct the
French troops in English. A number
Of these were before the war college
professors in America.
The health OF the American troops
Is being preserved by the modern SCI
