nation announcing that Gems.

democrats are assisting the het-
man Of the Don C0ssacks and his
fellow military leaders, who are

Secretary Daniels estimates that the
total expenditures for naval activi-
ties during the next fiscal year at
sl.O3g,66O, 5O2.S4. All appropriations
not essential to the rigorous prosecu-
ton Of the war are excluded from this
estimate. This compares with eX-
pendirures Of 1882, 1872 S59.45 for the
current fiscal year
by secretary Daniels in his report.
Chief among them is a recOmmen-
datiOn that the remainder Of the

lied BY congress be carried to COM
pletion. The completion OF the build
ing program would add these vessels
to the present naval forces:
Three battleships.
One battle cruiser.
Three scout cruisers.
Nine fleet submarines.
Two fuel ships
One transport
One destroyer tender
One ammunition ship.
One gunboat
Recommendation.

made by the secretary of the navy:
That the great lakes training
school near Chicago be continued az
ter the war
That the permanent enlisted
strength OF the navy be increased to
$4,000 men. plus 10000 apprentice
seamen. 1000 men under training in

alton.
That for the period OF the war the
enlisted strength authorized be $780,
600 men, plus $4,000 apprentice sea-
men. $4,000 men under training in
trade schools and 10000 men for avi-
That the fetish Of seniority be

tired list who are recalled to active I
service during the war.
