DANIELS PUTS CRUISER
PROBLEM BEFORE CONGRESS
Tells Naval Committee Ships Will Each
Cost $4,000, 900 More than Estimate

Washington, Jan. Is Secretary Dan
iels carried 10 the House Naval Com
mittee to-day the problem Of getting
under construction the four battle
cruisers already authorized for Tn :
navy.
Details as to negotiations with pri-
vate shipbulders were laid before the
committee with the definite statement
that the ships could not be built in
private plants for less than SlS,5OO,OOO
each. or S2.000,000 more than the fixed
limit of cost.
Paymaster George p Aud told the
committee that IN preparing TO take
contracts en- the basis OF cost and a
percentage Of profit the shipbuildlBg
romantics estimated material for each
vessel at Sl0,000,000, labor at $4,000
600 and overhead expense at S2,50O,0OO,
taking up the entire $l6,5OOO0O limit
Of cost, 70 which profit and extra eX-
penses would be added He pointed
out that the cost OF material a year or
two ago would have been about $1,000
600. and said that the builders had hS-
ured on collecting a percentage on the
$4,000. 900 initiation.
Assistant Secretary Roosevelt said
the steel makers had agreed to a re-
duction OF 1897 ,436 a ship in the cost
Of material, or a total reduction OF
S3,349.744 on all four ships, provided
The four were exactly alike.
Representative Padgett, chairman Of
the committee, asked Secretary Daniels
II saving could be made by putting
the ships in government yards. The
Secretary thought it probable. The
department has asked for an additional
$4,000 900 70 equip its yards for con
struction work.

GERMAN A|RPLANES
MAKE TESTING RAID.
ON FRENCH CAPITAL.
Only Few Bombs Dropped
and No Damage Is Re-
ported From Paris
or Berlin

Paris, July 2S.-German airplanes made
raid on Paris at II o'clock last night
Two bombs were dropped on the CAPT
tai. The opinion is held here that the
raid was made with the object of testing
the possibility of a successful German
attack in force similar to the recent
raid made on London.
Soon after the warning of the raiders
was given, the sky over the city was
alive with defense airplanes, twinkling
like stars, from which they could hardly
be distinguished. Firemen dashed through
the streets sounding alarms on power
full sirens and one by one the street
lamps f1ickered out.
Residents of the city, awakened from
their sleep, instead of taking refuge in
cellars, mounted to the roofs or went into
the streets to watch the droning airplanes
circling overhead At ITO o'clock the
firemen gave the signal that all danger
was over and the Parisians returned to
their beds, having seen nothing of the
enemy.
Berlin. July fisherman airplanes last
night dropped bombs on the railway sta
lions and military establishments in

MOLDAvIAN FRONT
On the Moldavian front the Russians
and Rumanians are carrying out an ef-
fective operation which has bent back
the defensive line opposite Kezdi-

occupied by the Rumanians near Bere-

ORDER OF RANK MADE PLAIN
To be sure, there has been no official
announcement made as to the recommen-
dations That appears not to be the mill
tary form of procedure. But the order
in which the men are to rank has been
made plain.
Today several hundred men were given

measure and adjourned to meet again to-
morrow
Two provisions pevented an agreement

of an individual administrator, and that

supervise the war expenditures. The con-
ferees hope for an agreement tomor-
row, but If they fail. it is planned to re-
port the partial disagreement to the two
houses and ask for further instructions.
deadlock is not considered improbable.
Washington. July 2s.-Senate and House
conferees on the administration food con-
troll bill today smoothed out their differ
ences on the prohibition provision, agreed
10 the section fixing a So minimum per
bushe for wheat and met again late to-
night to consider the two big points left
| in dispute. the question Of whether food
control shall be exercised by one man or
board Of three and the Senate section
creating joint congressional committee
on the conduct Of the war
PROHIBITION SECTION
The prohibition provision provides that
80 days after the bill becomes law no
person shall use any foods, fruits, food
materials, or feeds in the production OF
any distilled spirits for beverage pur-
poses, with a separate stipulation that
the prohibition shall not apply to the
fortification Of sweet wines. Importation
Of distilled spirits is prohibited in new

not exist were II not LOT the Coiiiiu0iiNe
of the nation in its institutions In TINS
public confidence is found the very spirit
of the selectiye service law. The most
sacred rights of country, home and fam
lily are entrusted for adjudication to To-
cal citizens and officials, nominated by
state governors and appointed by the
President The most equitable rules that
could be devised have been prescribed
for guidance, and the administration of
these rules and the sacrifice that is Of
fered by your neighbors is entrusted to
your hands.
ALL MUST SACRIFICE
From every one is demanded a sacri-
fee But there is one thought to be kept
always in your mind. The selected man
offers his life There is no greater CIV
ing than this; and that thought should
guide you always. There may be few
who will urge upon you claims for ex-
enption or discharge that, whatever may
be your inclinations OF sympathy or af-
lection, you viii know ought not to be
granted. 1t will strengthen you to re-
member that for every exemption or dis
charge that is made for individual con-
venience, or to escape personal loss OF
money or property. or for favor or affec-
ton, some other man whose time would
not otherwise have come, must incur the
risk of losing his life.
There can be no room for hesita-
ton in such a case.
NOT A COURT
Another fundamental thought is
this:
you are not court for the adjust
ment of differences between two per-
sons in controversy You are agents of
the government engaged in selecting
men for the government and there is
no controversy. You, acting for the
government, are to investigate each
case in the interest of the nation and
never in the interests of an individual.
There is not one exemption or dis
charge In the law or regulations that
is put there for the benefit of any in
dividual All are there for the benefit
Of the nation and to the end that the
