MR.. DANIELS SAYS WAR
IS MAKING A NEW AGE:
Divisions Of Creeds and Politics
Largely Swept Away, He Tells
United Service Club.

With divisions of creeds and politi-
cal parties largely swept away by
the war, '1ove and duty and God are
the only things that remain for

ice Club last night. The address fol-
lowed dinner given the Secretary

war" Secretary Daniels said to the
members and guests Of the club, who
crowded all the downstairs rooms and
the staircase. THE world will be
during the next fifty years will be
the men who deserve to rule by being
willing to sacrifice now"

years of war, Secretary Daniels de-
clared. as "the golden age when men
were married to an IDEAL" He spoke

tailed by Secretary Daniels. proved OF
particular interest to the Navy men
present.
American Sailors Big Task.
American sailors had to learn anew
| methods of signaling from ship to
ship, the Secretary said. Owing to
| the fact that the British ships were
| in the majority, the American officers
readily agreed to let the majority
rule. in this case. So the British sig
nails were accepted. and completely
learned in two weeks by the Ameri-
can sailors.
| Radio receiving in the North sea
proved difficult for the American
radio operators at first, owing to The
| fact that such a multitude of mes.
sages were flashing here and there
These "interferences" were so many
more in number than American radio
| operators were ever called upon tc
! face before that at first some diff.
Guilty was experienced picking ou
the message wanted. But this was
| soon overcome.
| Speaking Of the response of every
American to the call of war, Secretary
Daniels said:
"The only man Tn sorry for In
! America today is the man of riper
years who doesn't find himself placed
