said. ave are going 20 have an inye9-

Mr.. Daniels emphasized the probabli-
ity OF illness among such men, but de-
clared reports do not now indicate that
there is any cause TO fear an epidemic
and asserted that everything was being
done for the welfare and health of the
men.
Recently. it was stated Secretary
Daniels. with Admiral Palmer and Sur
reon General Braisted, visited the fleet
on an inspection trip, and no complaints
such as were uttered by the thirty
Solace sailors reached their ears.
Senator Calder, who read the round
robin TO the Senate. declared emphati-
cally to-day that this had demonstrated
more than anything which had yet hap
pened the wrong which might be with
out remedy If there were such censor
ship as was being urged.
"ff that censorship were now IN CT
feet" he said, these men could not get
the publicity which has been given their
complaint against the horrible condi-
tions which they sllage on the Solace.
Without that publicity there would not
be the sudden straining to correct the
had condition. In fact, probably such
conditions might continue without their
existence coming to the attention OF
the directing heads Of the department
here in Washington"

full fruition Of her great purpose,
No man can be glad that such
things have happened as we have

For. my friends, tho real fruit!on OF
