NAVY OFFERS MANY.
ADVANTAGES.

President Wilson Sunday signed an
order directing that tn !; navy be re-
cruited to the full authorized war
strength of $1,000 enlisted men, that
there may be sufficient men to man
all ships now being prepared for &C
tive service.
Immediately afterward Secretary
Daniels telegraphed the newspapers
of the country, requesting co-opera
ton with the navy officials in obtain
ing recruits To the Graphic, Secre-
tary Daniels telegraphed:
'The president last night signed an
executive order directing that the au-
thorized enlisted strength of the navy
be increased to $1,000. He was au-
thorized by congress, in case of
emergency, to direct such increase IN
enlistment. New ships and ships in
reserve are being fully commissioned
as rapidly as possible and the need
is imperative for larger enlist
ment to man them. There has been y
net increase of $500 in enlistment
since congress recently authorized an
increase. but many more are needed,
and needed now.
"Will you not emphasize this need
by giving special prominence Monday
on the first page Of your paper to the
presidents order, and also by MAX
ing an editorial appeal for new re-
cruits for the navy?
''The navy offers exceptional advan-
tages to young men Of stuff and ambi-
ton to serve in the first line for ma
tional defense. In this emergency
you have the opportunity and the
privilege of performing this public
service, and l am confidently appeal.

PRO AND con OF THE HEART.

The advantages to the Germans of

The entente must takes weeks 20

Less wasteage of man-power for the

THE SUBMARINE.

No naval vessels were sunk by sub
marines in the battle of Jutland.
In the entire war to date, but a
few naval vessels have been sunk by
the underseas craft, and these all in
the earlier stages of the war.
Their long suit, it appears, is.-to
sneak up on merchant ships and sink
them unawares; at least, that is the
most effective use to which they are
put.
They probably are effective as har-
Dor protectors. At the Dardanelles it
is believed the. presence of enemy sub
marines held the allied fleets in
check and sank some of the half
dozen warships sacrificed at that
point.
And it is evident tn; t were it not
for the submarines, the British navy
would have better chance to get close
to the coast of Germany.
Admitting the strong points of the
submersibles it still remains that
they are not the prime vessels for 4
battle fleet, as many citizens con-
tend. They can't "stan up" in bat
tie; the screen of shot has too much
destructive power for their frail per-
iscopes.
Also, their lack of speed is a detri-
ment to battle fleet. And speed is
an important factor in modern sea-
fighting.
Uncle Sam does we'll, therefore, in
building more submarines one
denies they are good things to possess
for certain purposes. But he does
better in not permitting the subma
rine advocates to stampede him into
not building battleships and battle
cruisers.

outsiders may think it's serious. But

The war-and-peace discussion is
