BIG CHANCES IN THE NAVY.
Secretary Daniels Tells of Many Pro
motions from the Ranks.

GREAT LAKES, H., Oct. 23.-Never
in its history has the navy presented
to the enlisted personnel such remark
able opportunities for promotion, See
rotary Daniels declared yesterday IN
an address to 10000 sailors at the Great
Lakes training station.
THE door of opportunity has been
opened wide to the enlisted men, said
the secretary. The chance for pro
motion never was so good as it is to-
day. There was the time, not so long
ago, when few men who entered the
navy could hope to attain d commits
sion. From 1909 to 1912 only three
were appointed TO commissioned ranks.
Since the war began sos warrant
officers have been commissioned as en-
signs and 1872 enlisted men have been
made warrant officers, believe these
officers who have been promoted from
the ranks viii prove their competence
and worth and I expect that when the
war Is over those who have made good

FISH HATCHERY CLOSED.
Secretary Redfeld Acts Because Of
t Practice of Maryland Fishermen.

On the ground that Maryland state
officials continue to permit practices
known to be inimical to the best in
terests Of the fisheries and directly an
tagonistic to the efforts of the bureau
of fisheries" Secretary Redfield has or
dered closed the Havre de Grace. Md,
federal fish hatchery.
This hatchery has been in operation
since 1870. The action ordering the
station closed was taken ON a report by
Commissioner Smith of the bureau of
fisheries.
The order came as surprise to those
not entirely conversant with condi-
lions. but who knew that until re-
Gently the Havre de Grace station had
been the foremost in the country in
shad production.
Commissioner Smith pointed this fact
out in his report. but declared a new
generation of fishermen had adopted a
practice of fishing by anchored gill;
nets. greatly handicapping spawn col
lection and Matching.

Navy Has Four Plans
to Obtain Big Shells

Four plans are under consideration
by Secretary Daniels and his assistants
to obtain a reserve supply of large
projectiles for the navy,
as follows: -
/. Completion of the authorized gov
eminent projectile plant. even before
the construction of the proposed armor
plate factory.
2. The purchase or lease, under con-
gressional authority, of one of the ex-
listing private plants, which could be
used by the government in case of
emergency for the immediate produce
ton of shells.
8. The possibility that the Hadfields
Company will establish an American
branch.
4. A compromise agreement with
American firms under which reasonable
prices would be quoted and shells pro-
duced of quality equal to those manu-
featured by foreign firms.
Navy officers contend that none of
these possibilities is too remote to es-
cape careful consideration, and that at
least one Of them will be realized be-
fore actual need OF the shells is felt.
