Disasters Should Not Be
Held Back.

Secretary Of the Navy Daniels today
announced that he expected to confer
with Secretary OF War Baker soon re-
garding a new policy to be pursued in

ment concerning the sinking Of the

than an hour after extras were on the
streets announcing that a transport
had been sunk and about seventy lives
lost.

Secretary Daniels this morning ex-
planned that the delay in the official
statement, issued through the COM
mittee on public information. was due
70 the long g-established policy of the
news Of casualties to the pext OF kin
before 1t was given to the general
public. The Secretary said:
IT realize that there are two sides to
the question, and that there may De oC-
oasions, such as big military or naval
engagements. when this rule should be
waived. OF course. the paramount con-
sideration is that the American public
should be informed Of any disaster af-
fecting our Army or Navy. On the other
hand there is the aspect involving the
families of the men killed or injured.
I shall confer with Secretary Baker
shortly and endeavor to work out some
policy which will avoid embarrass-
ment."

From now on there will be frequent
occasion to apprise the American peo-
pie of both achievements and disasters
to the country's fighting force. and it
Is with a realization Of this and de-
termination to facilitate the communi-
cation OF the news obtained from Off
cial reports to the public that Secre-
taries Daniels and Baker will seek to
systematic the giving out Of such In
formation.

The American aviators in France had
been supplied with large numbers of
posters. and arrangements were made
through Gen. Pershing to have them
shower the German lines with these
posters today.
The posters selected for use on the

depicted Uncle Sam with an army Of
many million behind him and an ali
feet Of tremendous proportions above
him. Another poster selected for this
work was the one depicting the Statue

~ Gold and green are about the
most popular shades this season, but
rose and tan are good. Blue is con

I should think you would look well in

after marriage the average man takes
his wife and his home as a matter OF

You cannot force your husband to be

Major Proctor learned that the

the submarine destruction will not

until the discordant situation is re-
! ljeved, possibly by the 'removal Of one
or the other official.
Criticism is being directed at the
President for not handling the quar-
rel in a frmer manner, and If he
wished to retain both men for not de-
fining in terms that could not be mis-
understood by either their respective
powers and functions. That he will
be driven to some drastic action to
clarity the Governments policies in
respect to construction and COM
Wandering is regarded as certain. At
present they are in a muddle.
Denman represents one set of poll
cies and Goethals evidently another.
Which will gain the ascendancy is be-
ing laboriously fought out by the two.
Denman in a formal statement last
night assailed Goethals for apparent
friendiness to the steel people and
indicated that he would make his fight
against the General on these lines:
Inclusion of more wooden ships in
the program particularly Of the
Hough design ship, which may be
built more speedily than the Ferris
/
erence by Goethals.
| Insistance upon a reasonable price,
for steel and for the fabrication Of
steel ships.
The retention In the possession Of
this Government of all alien tonnage
on the stocks in the United States.
| Denman Explains.
! In his disclaimer Of Gen. Cocktails
charge that he was responsible for
holding up the program that was to
have been launched today, Denman
said:
/ I'VE requested of Gen. Goethals
certain information concerning the
program for the expenditure of $780,
10000 of the public's money for
which the Presidents order has made
the Emergency Fleet Corporation and
the Shipping Board responsible.
When we do receive the informa-
! ton In writing we will take up with
Gen. Goethals a discussion of all the
matters in the project of building
ships.
| 1--WE are interested in the retention
| by the Government Of any fabricating
plants constructed by the Govern
| ment and in determining the policy Of
tnelr sale DIS lHey eHlSI dl|ei Tie " OIL
and not now.
THE fact that we desire an intelH-
gent discussion of these matters does
not mean that all the persons re-
sponsible for them cannot come to an
agreement.
Gen. Goethals has not even told
the public or the directors Of the cor
poration the names of the two con-
tractors who will undertake the fa-
| bricating contracts. For all we know
they may be mere subsidiaries of the
steel producers"
