Daniels Again
Muzzles Fiske;
Forbids Speech
Rear Admiral Forced to
Disappoint American
Defence Society
Trustees Will Protest
Vote to Send Delegation to
President Asking Him
to Intervene
Trustees Will Protest

Josephus Daniels again has muzzled
Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, re-
tired.
To the edict which he issued some
time ago, forbiddng the admiral to
write a series of critical articles upon
the navy, the Secretary of the Navy
has added another, prohibiting him
from speaking upon department mat
tiers without special permission from
Washington.
This latter action was inspired by
the fact that Admiral Fiske was to ad-
dress the board of trustees of the
American Defence Society yesterday
upon the aero strength OF the navy
At the meeting the retired officer an
nounced that Mr.. Daniels had forbidden
him TO speak.
The board was aroused by this action
of the Secretary and denounced 1t as
an evidence of persistent persecution
This is not the first collision between
the civilian head of the navy and Ad-
miral Fiske, and the trustees voted
Yesterday to send a delegation to
Washington to urge the President to
intervene and prevent further attempts
to suppress Information concerning the
first line of defence.
The following statement was issued
"Rear Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, U.
S. y. retired, member of the board
Of trustees, was scheduled to talk at
the meeting on the imperative need
for aeroplanes in the navy, but an
nounoed that he could not do so.
90 have an address which | had pre-
pared to make here, pointing out the
advantage of employing aeroplanes IN
great numbers for locating and hghting
submarines,' said Admiral Fiske, but
I regret that shall not be able to
make an address because | have Just
received a letter from the Secretary OF
the Navy, which directs me not TO make
any address without first getting per-
mission from the department.
Admiral Fiske would not comment
upon Secretary Daniels's order when
seen at his home last night Inc rule
has always obtained in the navy that
articles on professional subjects must
he first submitted to the department be-
fore they are published. Secretary
Daniels has held, against precedent,
that this also applied to speeches.

Advocacy Of War Before
Economic Club
General Explains Talk
Asserts No Mention of Hostil-
tiles Was Made-He Plead
ed for Universal Training

DR.. David Starr Jordan, chancellor
of Leland Stanford University, tele-
graphed yesterday to Secretary of War
Baker a protest against Major General
Leonard Woods recent speeches advo-
eating preparedness. DR.. Jordan's tele-
gram said:
"As an American citizen, | protest
against the public utterances, as re.
ported, of General Leonard Wood, al
officer in active service, urging the me-
cessity of war against a nation with
which We are at peace. have myself
heard General Bernhard make similar
utterances, but he was az that time re-
tired from the service. Else it would
have been violation of military dis
cipline.'
DR.. Jordan said the statements OF
General Wood against which ne pro-
tested particularly were those made az
the Economic Club dinner at the Hotel
Astor on March II.

Der of them, made By General Wood.
which we think highly improper from
An officer in active service. Some time
ago in California General Wood
made speeches advocating preparedness
against possible war with Japan"
General Wood said last night:
"No reference was made at the Eco
nomic Club dinner to war with any
country. II was hardly discussion Of
preparedness. II was simply a protest
against the individualistic views of GER
tain speakers who had preceded me. |

and then no reference was made to pos
sible war with Japan
At the Economic Club dinner the
speakers were General Wood. President
Hibben of Princeton and Mayor
Mitchell. who pleaded for compulsory
military training. and Adolf Augustus
Berle, a clergyman and author, Of Cam
bridge, Mass. and the Rev. Charles F.
Aked, who spoke for pacihsm.
After Mr.. Berle had said: 81 do not
give a snap for compulsory military
service" and after DR.. Hibben and
Mayor Mitchell had spoken, General
Wood asked permission 20 speak a sec
ond time. He said he wanted to reply
to Mr. Berle.
General Woods Speech
"You have heard a speech concerning
doctrine which, if adopted, embodies
the useless sacrifice of the youth of our
country" said General Wood. at is a
murderous doctrine. We want volun-
tary service, just as we want voluntary
morals. but no one but a fool expects

mo one wants war less than dc.
God save us from it. God save US
from ourselves if We do not use our
eyes to see and our ears to hear! We
are quite as ready to die for our coun-
try as the speaker who preceded me,
but we hope we shall make more eff.
cient preparation than he advocates.

Wars Death Rate

Canada has published figures on the
casualties among its fighting forces
that gives surprising result when an
alyzed. They show that the dangers OF
war are very much less than the ordin-
AIRY mind is apt TO think them.
Taking the number of deaths from
all causes, and even including as dead
those classed as missing" or as "pre-
sumed dead, E" it appears that the NOR
tally rate of the soldiers has been very
little greater than the ordinary rate OF
death in civilian population. At the
most it does not seem TO exceed 20 IN
the thousand among the troops raised
in the Dominion. and although our most
recent reports in the United States
show rate OF less than Ia co the thou
sand it has been as high as 1913 in the
thousand throughout what is known as
the registration area of the country.
On their face the Canadian statistics
would show that army life under actual
fighting conditions is hardly more dan
gerous than life uuder normal condit-
ions Of course, the deduction is not
wholly correct; some allowance must
be made for the fact that the men
taken for the armies are selected risks
and that the mortality among them
would be lower than the average for
all ages of people. But even when
this is taken into account and every
possible factor is reckoned with there
still remains feeling of surprise on
finding that wars perils measure up
so much less than imagination makes
them appear. Free Press.

The seats may be broken through;
that makes no difference because they
are to be concealed by the boxes used
for the counter top. If leg is broken,
as is often the case with a discarded
chair that you may find, you can
easily bind stick to that corner of
the chair to prop it up, while, if a
back is broken, it can be mended good
enough by binding a long stick UP
and down or across it.
Stand the chairs back to back, as
shown in Fig. 2, and bind together the
pair of legs, also the backs, in several
places with wrapping Irvine. Then
place the grocery boxes on their sides
on the chair seats, so their open tops
will come at the back Of the counter
and bind them to the chair by passing
rope around their ends, over their
tops, and down underneath the chair
seats, tying in secure knot

"No trouble at all. Just come right

The employer chatting the while at
rate that brooked no interruption,
proudly showed the visitor through
every part OF the large plant.
In vain the visitor repeatedly tried
to crowd in remark or two.
After a full half hour had passed,
the employer, breathless, but pleased,
escorted the visitor into the office
again, and waved him into a seat.
The visitor seated himself. then des-
perately arose again.
"What came here for" he blurted,
''was to ask permission to see your

'Yes, yes, yes
