 SECRETARY DANIELS.
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY

Washington, Jan. s.-Secretary Dan 1els today appealed to congress for $12,OOO,OOO to add to navy yard con struction facilities because of the fail ure of private builders to submit bids Tor the battle cruisers and scout cruis- CTS.
 The secretary made his request in letter to Chairman Padgett of the house committee. It said in part:
 Remedial Action Necessary.
 ''The situation with regard to the preparedness programme is such that If the manifest intention of congress and the country is to be carried out, remedial action is necessary.
 ''ThN department has done it's ut most in thfS connection bu finds the private shipouilders of the country are unable or unwilling to undertake the complete programme with any assur- ance or speed in completion, even at prices which the department regards as unreasonably high. The prepared edness programme halts by reason of thi Sconnection.
 Six million dollars already has been authorized by congress for the im- provement of navy yard building equipments. To equip sufficient yards to enable the department to authorize building of ships for which it has been unable to contract with private yards
 Four battleships. one scout cruiser, eighteen destroyers and twenty nine coast submarines have been awarded to private builders.

 PLAY FAIR WITH cHAPLAiNS
Contention of Chaplain Hare of the Fourth New Jersey Infantry.

New York, Jan. s-The churche es did not play fair with the chaplains on the border and did not support their work morally or financially as they should" it was asserted here~to- day by the Rev J. Madison Hare, chaplain of the Fourth New Jersey Infantry.a at a luncheon given by the Clergy Club to chaplains of the army and the national guard.
 He defended the state troops by stating that the criticism to which they have been subjected was due to the fact that they were expected to accomplish in two months what the regular army takes six months to do. Eventually, he said. we shall have to go into Mexico.
 The Rev. William T. Croc1zer, chap lain of the Seventy-first Infantry, said that to go into Mexico would be crfme.'' Not all the outlawrv. he said, was on the Mexican side of the bor- der.
 Dr. William T. McCord of the Sew enth regiment. declared the patriot ism of the men in this country was evidenced by the response to the presidents call to the border. He as- serted there twas no real crisis and the young men could not convince themselves there was reason to drcQ their business and go.''

Petrograd, Wednesday, Jan. 3, via London, Jan 8. Delayed. New and more dramatic versions of the death of Gregory Rasputin, the Russian monk who exercied great influence over the members of the royal family and first conjectures as to the nature of the plot which succeeded in rid ding Russia of the most powerful and picturesque of the dark forces . which it is alleged have been attempt sia, have only heightened the sensa- tion caused by the first news of Ras- putin's death received last Saturday. It is now definitely known that the assassination was only one of a se- rieS of attempts upon Rasputin'S life.
 Shortly after midnight Rasputin. who was sitting alone in his house in Petrograd, received a telephone call from the house of Prince Yussupoff. The invitation proved particularly al- turing and Rasputin accepted in the best humor. Soon afterwards a young man called for the monk at the rear entrance. The night was extremely cold and the long cloak worn by Ras- putin concealed the costume which he had dOnned for the occasion, consist ing of dark, baggy velvet trousers tucked into high polished boots, a silk blouse and bright colored sash. The other wore conventional evening dress.
 Rasputin was not long seated in the house to which he had been invited before one of the guests arose quiet ly and offered revolver to him. with the following words:
 We have decided that you must die. Kill yourself"
 Rasputin pointed the revolver at the man who had offered it to him, the other guests drew over and fired upon the monk.

DIVERGENT VIEWS ON
 PROPER MILITARY POLICY
Laid Before Senate Committee by Two
 U. S. Military Officers.

Washington Jan. S.-Widely diver gent views as to the proper military policy for the United States were laid before the senate subcommittee on
 universal service today by two of the governments military officers, Captain George " H. Mosely of the general staff of the army and Major William G. HarIee of the marine corps. The committee heard also urgent recom- mendations that universal military training be enacted from a score of surgeons and physicians representing the important medical associations of the country.
 Major Harlee disapproved of all uni versa1 service proposals and suggested a plan of his own, one of the most radical changes in policy yet pro posed. He asserted that as a recruit ing officer he had learned that the military caste, the most orthodox caste in the country and the fixed obligations of the enlistment oath were the factors that deterred men from entering the army.
 The oath of enlistment is an oath of bondage" he said. Tt brands thf man who takes it as of lower caste. I am opposed to any service except that rendered by willing men,"
 The major proposed that no enlist ments be required and that the men trained annually be permitted to leave the service at will To make 1t seri- ous matter for them to quit, however, ne suggested IIldt d iiliIiiIhuIh AioHtH- ly pay of $30 be provided and all but a small sum be held back until the training period had been completed.
 Captain Mosely explained the pur poses of his bill, already before the committee, to provide for the training annually of a million boys 19 years old He said 36 training divisions, distributed through the coun- try, should be created as. permanent training factories. In case of war, each of these would constitute an army division with the regiments raised to war strength by summoning | back to the colors the last two classes |

The enerny's plan was to bring about a war of mur- der and rapine.'

Another of Rumania's fortresses has fallen into the hands of the Teutonic allies. Keeping up their intensive forward movement along the railroa l line northward into Moldavia, Field Marshal Von Mackensen's troops have taken Fokshani and with it nearly A. 900 prisoners and some cannon and machine guns. At last reports the in Taders were pursuing the defeated Russians, while in spite of the snow and cold weather the troops of Arch duke Joseph of Austria were press ing back the Rumanians eastward in to Moldavia between the Putna and Oituz valleys.
