SOUNDS HIGH PRAISE
FOR NAVY IN REPORT
Subcommittee, After Investigation OF
Three Months. Submits Findings
to Senate.
RECORD Is REMARKABLE
Expenditure Of Appropriations as
Commended. Personnel is Applaud
ed and Efficiency Comes in for the
warrnest Appreciation.

washington, March 12.--High praise
for the navy was sounded today m
report submitted to the senate by
subcommittee Of the naval commit
tee which has been conducting
three months investigation.
Republican and Democratic leaders
Joined in the anding. Regret was ex-
pressed, however. that construction
had been necessarily curtsiied by the
monopolizatiou of shipyards for com
mercial vessels.
The marine corps. associated with
the navy. rather than a part OF It.
was similarly compl!mented. The COM
mittee urged It's officers and men be
given the chance they desire-servtee
in France.
The following three conclusions were
reported:
First, all appropriations have been
expended or obligated with judgment
caution and economy, considering that
ditions prevailed.
Second, the navy. which limited per-
sonnet ana material. was suddenly
called TO face many difficult and I'M
tried problems, and has met the situa-
'tion with rare skill. ingenuity, dis
patch and high degree OF success.
Remarkable Record.
Third. the efficiency of the nsvy's
pre-wsr organization. the readiness
and fitness OF its men and ships were
early put TO the acid test. and thus
far they have not been found want
ing. We feel that the last twelve
months presents for the navy a re-
steadily increasing power in both per-
banding resources and OF well-ma-
the war be long or short.
1T Is a matter of regret" the re-
port continued. that the great de-
mand upon the ship construction ca
pacitly of the country, coupled with
the urgent need for large increase
in the destroyer force. has made
necessary temporary abandonment
in part OF the navy ship building
program.
The navy greatly needs both scout
and battle cruisers, without which our
idreadnaught feet loses a large part
of It's fighting potentiality.
we approve the principle and
heartily favor resumption of the
building program as soon as condi-
lions warrant, and cannot too strong.

has been said on behalf OF the Sab
bath applies equally and more to the
Sunday. The latter is kept for the
same purpose as the former. The day

extraordinary miracles that have been

ferred on man on Sunday.
How To Be Kept.
Having said so much why the Lord s
day shall be kept holy, shall now
offer a few suggestions as TO how y
should be kept The first then ana
most important duty OF the Sunday IS
to be present at the holy sacrifice OF
the mass, to meet Jesus Christ as he
comes to our affairs. to pay Him our
homage and ask Him for favors. We

ton OF the day in prayer. pious read

should assist them. II able, or II not

ForeEO servile Works.
We must abstain from all servile
works on this day unless the honor OF
God. the good OF our neighbors or
necessity demands otherwise The
Jews had erroneous notions on this
point, as they considered It unlawful
to do anything on this day But our
Divine Lord refutes this error. he
concludes with these words: How
much better Is a man than a sheepz
Therefore. II Is lawful TO do good
act on the Sabbath. But we are not
only to abstain from servile work but
also and more particularly from SIN
full works. all kinds Of gaming that
are in any wav sinful or unworthy
OF the day. OF course. Il IS lawful
and rscommendable to spend reason

recreation.
This should not. however. prevent
US from attending sermons vespers
and the public ceremonies OF the
church. Il IS also most useful ana

we require Il, or II not to assist IN

Let Us then fulfill the obligation
with the greatest exactness since it
Is so pleasing to our Lord. Let rs
sanctify the dav in sdorings praising
and thanking Him. Let US repair 10
the altar and there meet our dear
Savior: let US supplicate Him for new

MANY Christian leaders are saying
Nl that churches are confronted at
this moment with the most portentous
and immediate task they ever faced.

religious body They are men in close

two years. have been making studies
on the subject
One such leader. holding = national
position, asked that his name be not
given to the public at this time be-
cause, as he explained. he IS only one
uation, and he felt that all ought 70
speak when any did 50. However, he
said:
churches cannot fix wages or
hours OF labor. but they can create a
spirit Of brotherhood They can teach
men to regard each other as brothers
and not as rivals. The church has
not yet gone into business, as i has
not yet gone into diplomacy. There
are only = few areas into which the
church has yet penetrated. II has
gone into the home, and into rela-
