MUST GUARD MORALS OF NAVY
RECRUITS, SAYS SECRETARY
DANIELS.

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels has
authorized the following statement:
Having received numerous COM
plants of immoral conditions at the
city of Newport, r. L., from citizens
Of Newport and from the parents of
many of the young men now gather
ed there in the great Naval Train
ing Station and the encampment of
the Naval Reserve, deemed it pro-
per to call the matter to the atten-
ton of the governor of Rhode Is
land.
'In reply the governor returned
ta this department :. 1cpo.. Sow r-c.' 4'@
mayor of Newport, representing
that there was no unusual degree of
immoralxy in that city, denying the
truth and justice Of the complaints,
and generally minimizing the situa-
ton. Thereupon, this department
through it's own agents and with the
assistance of the Department of
Justice, instituted an investigation
at first hand. AS result of that in
vestigation, I have just sent to the
governor of Rhode Island list in
detail of some Of the most notorious
houses of prostitution and open
gambling houses in Newport, also
calling his attention to the extent
and methods of illegal sale Of liquor
to sailors and Naval Reserve recruits
and informing him that the depart
ment is ready to furnish him with
further specific evidence if the
States own officers do not produce
it.
Sacred Trust for Government
"At Newport and other places are
gathered several thousand of the
finest youth Of the land who have
offered their lives for the service Of
their country at time when this
sacrifice is no figure of speech.
Most of them have come from the
carefully guarded homes, and their
parents have given them to their
country in sacred trusts that the
Government will safeguard them
from unnecessary perils.
II am charged with the duty of
training these young men for SER
vice in the Navy. State and local Off
GERS are charged with the duty of
seeing that the laws of their States
and of the United States are faith
fully executed. There lies upon US
morally, to degrees far out-reach-
ing any technical responsibility, the
duty of leaving nothing undone to
protect these young men from that
contamination of their bodies which
will not only impair their military
efficiency but blast their lives for
the future and return them to their
homes source Of danger to their
families and to the community at
large.
Dangers Multiplied in War
sThese dangers are bad enough in
ordinary times; in time Of wat. when
great bodies of men are unnecessar-
lily gathered together away from the
restrains Of home and under the
stress Of emotions whose reactions
inevitably tend to dislodge the
standards ef moral lfe. thsy are
muntiplied manifold, and the hsrpies

CONGRESS CALLED APRIL 2
President Will Recite German Acts of
Aggression.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The United
States OF America is in a state of war
and all of the resources of the nation
are being called upon to prosecute the
hostilities to a successful conclusion.
All patience and forbearance with
Germany exhausted by the continued
death of American men and women
and the continued destruction of
American ships in the war zone, Pres
ident Wilson called on congress to
hurry to Washington and aid him in
protection of the nations honor By
a proclamation advancing to April 2,
the date for the extra session of con-
gress originally called for April 16,
the President brought to an end the
period of suspense and anxiety
throughout which the country has
watched with growing Impotence the
results of German ruthlessness direct
ed against American shipping.
