extra nice dish, especially adapted to

Daniels Says Health of
 Men in Navy Good as
 Could Be Expected

Washington, May 26.-The health of the navy is as good as could be expected in view of the rapid increase of the force, Secretary Daniels said today when his attention was drawn to reports of epi- denies at several training stations.
 Surgeon General Braisted made trips recently to Chicago and Newport srarfons because of the prevalence of measles among new men, but he reported that the situation was not serious. At Chicago many recruits brought from the south felt the cold weather keenly during the first weeks of April, and as a result there was an increase in general sickness Since then quarters have been extended to afford better protection for the men.
 The secretary said that men were com ing into the navy so fast that it would be difficult to accommodate them all until the expansion of quarters and es- tablishment of new stations to be com pleted For that reason many enlist ments are being made Ion call" the applicants accepted being told that they will be summoned when needed!
 Provisions will be made within the next few weeks to care for 5000 additional men, and before August the navy will have accommodations for the entire 150,0 needed as well as for all the reserves on duty. The present strength of the navy is approximately 10000.

 Berlin Announcement

London, May 26.-The intention of the German government to sink all entente hospital ships in the entire barred zone with the exception of certain ships from Saloniki to Gibraltar, is semi officially announced in Berlin, according to a Reu- ter dispatch from Amsterdam.

 The semi official announcement reads in part,
 The German government will in the future prevent all traffic by hospital ships in the entire barred zone and in the Med iterranean, including the road left open for Greece, and will regard hospital ships appearing therein as war vessels and at- tack them immmediately."

'HEFL|N ENGAGES IN TILT OF WORDS IN FOOD BILL DEBATE Alabama Member Attacks Pennsylvanian Bitterly
 and Is Answered by
 Leader Mann
ax HIGH NV. ROBERTS

Washington, May 26.-(Special) Representative Heflin this afternoon on the floor of the House called Rep- resentative Moore of Pennsylvania ev- erything in the category save a sec ond baseman."
 Representative Moore had previous ly referred to Representative Heflin as the champion of the cotton pro ducers of the south and the modern- ized Henry of Navarro. The Pennsyl- vanian was endeavoring to put tax on cotton.
 MT. Heflin in replying declared that inasmuch as the Pennsylvanian had not advocated a tax on wheat, silk. wool and flax. he was endeavoring in his anti-cotton propaganda to single out the staple of the south and revive sectionalism.
 NO patriot in these trying tim es," continued MT. Heflin, would say or do those things calculated to render in- effective the efforts of this country to crush the militarism of Germany. The people of Pennsylvania do not ap- prove of the conduct of their repre- sentative. They are more patriotic. more responsive to the exigencies of the moment. than the man whom they have commissioned to speak for them.'
 The controversy was tantamount to momentary sensation.
 Washington, May 26.-Whle the Lever food bill was under discussion in the HoUSe todav Renresentative Ief1in Ia- bama, resented what he called the in- jection of politics by Representative Moore of Pennsylvania. MT. IIeflin said that the people of Philadelphia were loyal folks and that there were many there of old German stock ''who are more loyal now than some of our friends on this floor.e
 Let's not say anything on the floor of this House., MT. Heflin added, that will encourage a German spy, an anarch- ist or bomb thrower."
 Republican Leader Mann said it was getting WeariSome to hear suggestions that there were men in Congress who are not patriotic. I would advise the gentleman from Alabama he said ito follow the example he urges others to follow
 'No German spy will get any comfort from what is said on the floor of this House except what the gentleman from Alabama has said.,'
 MT. IIeflin demanded an instance where he said anything that would comfort a German spy. MT. Mann retorted that Mir.
