SQUANTUM, Mass, April 20 -
The greatest disappointment of the
kaiser in Berlin has not been in the
failure of the U-boat warfare TO

down of the we'll planned propa-
ganda to foment a social revolution
in America" said Sec'y of the Navy
Daniels in an address today after
visiting the big ship yard here.
where the government, through the
organization Of the Fore River
Shipbuilding Co, is constructing the
largest plant in the world for build
ing destroyers.

paralyze the government, the lead

La Dor in America understands
that it depends for its life and
progress and future victories upon
overcoming the German autocracy
in this war"
Sec'y Daniels said the men who
are turning out destroyers and mu-
nitions are Just as brave as the men
who are at the front. He called
attention to the fact that there is
not a single body with any execu-
tive power that does not have upon
it a representative of labor, sitting
side by side with the representatives
Of the employers and having an
