PRUSSIANISM
Secretary of Navy Says En-
listments Have Exceed
ed the Facilities

Annapolis, Md, Sept l5.-Pointing to
the $2,OOo,ooOOoO appropriated last year
or now pending for an increased navy
and TO vast bond and revenue bills as
evidence, Secretary Daniels yesterday de-
clared that the United States was in the
war until she won.
Speaking at the graduation of the first
,ensigns of the naval reserve, he said:
"If any man doubts that the American
people are ready TO wage this righteous
war to victory, no matter what the cost,
he need only read the messages and acts
of the president, and the legislation and
appropriation revenue and bond bills that
have passed Congress. They answer eff
fectively and eloquently the suggestions
of alien critics that America is not en-
listed with all its resources to free the
world from the menace of Prussianism.
II am not publishing a military secret
when | say that while the increase in
personnel in the past few months has far
surpassed the increase in material, there
are three times as many ships in com.
mission to-day as there were six months
ago; and ships and more ships from en-
larged and ever-enlarging shipyards are
coming to afford a place upon naval
craft to the thousands of patriotic young
men who have crowded into the navy
since the call was made under the legis-
lation for increase in enlistment"
Secretary Daniels showed that there
were 232,030 enlistments Sept. /, as
against 1852 year ago. As result
of such an influx, it has been necessary
to limit enlistment, he said, but pointed
out that trained officers are needed.

Already plans are being made for

used as the cooler for storing fruit,
