Secretary Daniels Says Navy Greatest Under Wilson Than Any
 Other Official.
PEOPLE GIVEN WARNING
Navy Must Be Kept Up as Long as Nations Continue to Build
 War Vessels.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 2. - The largest expansion in times of peace and greatest efficiency since it's or. ganization in 179S has marked the Navy Department during the past fiscal year, Secretary Daniels says in his annual report to the Presi- dent:
 "The naval appi opriation Act for the fiscal year 1917," the Secretary of the Navy declares, stands out beyond all precedent in the entire history of the United States navy. The total appropriation of $@13,3S4,- PIP is more than twice as large as the amount carried by any previous appropriation bill.
 "The Department will be able, as a result of this act, to place the ammunition reserves of the navy for the first time on a basis of that full measure of preparedness which the present war has shown to be so important"
 AG a result of tEIs broad policy, Secretary Daniels calculates that the navy will possess in 1921 the follow iOr,

 While calling attention 10 what has been accomplished in "thc great est year of progress in ships, mater ial and organization that the United States navy has ever known" Sec rotary Daniels adds: "I feel it my duty to warn as solcmnly as may against the danger that lies in a possible feeling on the part of our people that the navy has now been attended to, has been placed where it belongs among the great naYies of the world, and that there Is noth' ing further to be done. Until the great navy-building countries make Ia practical agreement to a reduction of armament our country must stead ily increase its naval strength
 Secretary Daniels, in connection with the great increase in naval cX pcnditures both here and abroad asks HOW lOuBr II but hALAbAib VI the world are to continue this com petition, it will be before the burden will be greater than the people can bear. He renews his suggestion of an international conference between big-navy countries looking to an end of the competition in building fight ing craft.
 In target practice the report brings out. the American navy "has not only cQualled, but in battle target practice has actually CXCelled the best records believed to have been made in recent European naval bat ties"

 "To have the same setting from the beginning to end in a successful play would mean the need for great CT art on the part of the players. As for the writer of plays of the kind which I foresee, he will find the work quite easy if he is a good craftsman.
 One misfortune arising from a changed style of play will he lost to the public Of many fine examples of the playwright's art which have won fame in the past. It may be that theatres will have to be altered con, siderably. For instance. the stage of

EVOLUTION |S PREDICTED
 AT TER WAR

LONDON, Nov. 13-The continuous play, presented perhaps on revolving stage. will develop after the war is the opinion of Lady Wyndham, wife of Sir Charles Wyndham. the British actor and theatrical manager Be fore her marriage to Sir Charles. Lady Wyndham was Mis- Mary Moore, an actress and partner in several of his London houses
 "The war" she declares, in an art. icle in the Pail Mall gazette, will probably supply motives for various plays long after peace has been he. stored, not the war which is express ed in glimpses of battle, but the war as it shows itself in the hearts Of men and women and influences their lives and their actions.
 My belief is that after the war an entirely new style of play will be evolved, and it will then be consider de old-fashioned to drop the curtain and have an entr'acte. The practi- cally continuous play will be due, if fl comes into being, to various causes. There is, among other things, ten dency for people to go to reyues and music-halls, where the curtains do not drop.
 "It is an indication of the restless ness of the age, and it was noticeable before the war. If these people are to be attracted to the theatre. they must have plays presented to them which do not contain series of breaks. There may be rapid change of scene and costume, or there may be
The Cordova daily times., 1917-11-13

each theatre may have to be of the re- volying type, to enable the swift and complete change of scene to be done as have suggested. Something of the sort exists at the Coliseum.
 There is nothing more revolution ary in the continuous play Of the future than there was in the past in the change from the five, six, or seven act play to the play of three acts four at the outside-with which We have grown familiar. We must there fore, look forward to the results of an evolutionary process rather than to those coming from the revolution"
