Secretary Daniels To-day

The presence of Secretary of
the Navy JoSEPHUs DANIELS in
the reviewing stand as 10000
soldiers marched by on Friday,
as the Governments representa-
tive at the parade, was fitting.
Mr.. DANIELS today is recognized
as a Cabinet officer who had
risen to a great emergency by
preparing the navy for war.
There has not been a reflection
on the sea service since a state
of war with Germany was de-
clared, not even a suspicion of
incompetence.
Secretary DANIELS has claimed
unprecedented achievements for
the Navy Department, but not
one of them has been challenged.
When he says that the compile
ment of ships has risen to 1000,
including auxiliaries, submarine
chasers, and patrol boats; that
the sailors are equipped to the
last button; that of guns and
ammunition there is no lack, but
a surplus; that destroyers are 60
ing into the water in record time
and that Admiral SIMS is doing
great service with his fiotilla in

the barred zone" there are
people who ask: Is this the
JosEPHUS DANIELS whom every
body was abusing two years ago
for naval deficiencies, and for
not seeing the shadow Of war
that was cast far over the
Atlantic, coming nearer every
day."
There was transformation,
it is true. But the fact is that
Mr.. DANIELS was much under
rated by his critics. Personal
peculiarities, an unconventional
way of saying and doing things,
a certain crudeness of view
sometimes, were magnified to
his discredit. At heart he was
sound, and his devotion to prin
ciple and duty was demonstrated.
Perhaps he did not have vision,
but he had common sense. 1t
turned out that he had that
supreme, and by no means COM
mon, gift of knowing the value
of his advisers and trusting them.
Also Secretary DANIELS realized
his own limitations, and was we'll
aware. that his knowledge of
naval matters left a good deal to
be desired. Anybody who takes
the trouble to read the Secretary's
annual reports in 1914 and the
succeeding years will see that he
was growing into an able and
responsible head of the navy.
who reviews the careers
of his lieutenants must conclude
that he selected dependable and
accomplished men and gave them
a free hand.
Mr.. DANIELS is now known to
be one of the most competent
of the Cabinent. He
was once rated as an unpopular
Secretary by the service. Naval
officers no longer talk about his
temperamental unftness for the
post and smile at his hobbies,
nor berate him for meddling with
the morals of the navy. He has
won favor in all ranks. He has
become a fighting Secretary, 4

London, March 9.-When ones ves-
sci is in danger from enemy subma-
rines anything will do as weapon Of
defense, as is shown by the story of
captain of British trawler who
used coal shovel with good effect
against German U-boat.
The trawler, according to the story
told by one OF the crew, was in the
North Sea in a stiff breeze when the
skipper saw a periscope crawl through
the breaking surface of the sea about
100 yards off. There was no gun
aboard and the trawler's best speed
was less than eight knots.
"It was situation to dismay most
men," said the sailor. "Our skipper,
however, has fighting spirit. A
touch of the wheel sent the trawler's
blunt bows pointing at the submarines
whaleback and we wallowed menac-
ingly toward the pirate.
"The U-boat swung round to avoid
Omaha daily bee., 1918-03-10

1.-THE impact and the sides of the trawler
scraped along the sides of the subma-
rine. The periscope was still well out
of the water, but was beginning to
slip down as the submarine dived.
"The skipper bawled for hammer,
a crowbar, anything that would hurt.
One of the crew thrust a coal shovel
into his hand and he scrambled on
the bulwarks and leaned over, two
of the crew hanging onto his coat SO
that he would not fall overheard.
Backwards and forwards he swung
the heavy scoop at the fragile peri
scope and the third blow reduced it
to fragments.
"The submarine commander, hearing
the noise and wondering what new
and horrible device the enemy had in
vented, crept to his periscope to have
a look but all was black. He was
blind aud the trawler got away in
safety"
