NAVY NEEDED :.
POLICE POWER
SAYS DANIELS
Secretary Would Have Expan-
sion Of Last Three Years
= - Maintained \
TEAMWORK is THE SLOGAN

Washington, Dec. S.-With a story
of brilliant achievements Of the Amer
lean navy in the war, Secretary DAN
iels couples, in his annual report made
public today, an urgent recommended
ton for continued naval expansion to
meet the demands of peace for nation
al and international work on the sea.
Through nearly all of 144 printed
pages the Secretary tells in brief
phrases of the navy's part in the war,
of the doing of the seemingly impos-
sible through teamwork. He speaks of
the mighty accomplishment Of trans
. porting two million men to France,
without the loss of an eastbound
troopship through enemy action, and
he devotes graphic chapter to the
Marine Brigade, which as all the
world knows blocked the last Prussian
advance on Paris, and started the Ger
man retreat that ended with the war.
This reference to the future con-
cludes the report:
'ssThe day is not far distant when
the world will witness an end Of COM
petitive building between nations of
mighty weapons Of war. In the peace
treaty there will undoubtedly be in
corporated President Wilson sspropos-
al for a reduction of armament to the
lowest point consistent with domestic
safety g.
"Navies will still be needed as an
international police force to compel
compliance with the decree of an in
ternational tribunal which will be set
up to decide differences between ma
tons. Naval vessels will have large
peace tasks of survey and discovery
and protection in addition to police
duty of an international as well as of
a national character.
"Inasmuch as the United States is
the richest nation Of the great ma
tons and has suffered less in war than
any of the allied powers, it will de-
volve upon this country to make a con-
tributioa to the navy to preserve the
peace Of the world commensurate
with it's wealth, its commerce, its
growing and expanding merchant ma
rine, and it's leadership in the council
of free people, 1t is therefore, our
duty now not, indeed, to enter upon
any new and ambitious naval pro-
gram, but to go forward steadily upon
the lines of naval increase to which
the country committed itself by the
adoption three years ago of the first
far-reaching constructive naval pro-
gram in the history of the Republic.
II have recommended to this Con-
gress the adoption of another three
year program substantially like the
one authorized in 1915. But the VIC
tory Of the allies and the United
States should, and will l sincerely

~pay Of The Dead.

Tho French probably borrowed their
reverential festival Of 'the Day Of the
Dead" from the Japanese. In Nippon
the day Is one Of grave solemnity. In
Nagasaki the annual Bon Matsuri, In
the midweek Of July, was this year
favored with ideal weather. and as
there was no moon. the Examinations
on the hills were seen to great ad-
vantage. The cemeteries were thronged
with the relatives Of the departed.

third nights Saturday and Sunday q
very large proportion Of the inhabi.
tants Of the city congregated In the
burial places. The fireworks dis.
plays were not up to the average Of
previous years because the war has
greatly increased the cost. From nine
O'Clock to midnight ON Sunday eve
ming the streets leading to Ohato were
crowded with tiny professions Of
floats and spectators. The Nagasaki
Press imagines the cost Of this festival
greatly exceeds that Of the O'Srwa
festival In the autumn and the Kfss
festival. Probably the lanterns dis.
played over the tombs are used from
year to year.
