DANlALS ON WORK Or NAVY
secrstary's Annual report Relates at
Length the Fine Record of Our
Sea Forces.

Washington - The annual report
Of Secretary of the Navy Daniels,
made public, is a long and chatty re-
latio1 Of the efficient work OF the sea
forces OF the United States during the
great war and since the signing OF the
armistice. Much space Is devoted to
the record made BY the navy in trans
PORTING troops to and from Europe,
and full credit is given it for its eE-
cellent work IN actual warfare and IN
cleaning up the great lninefleld which
II had laid in the North Sea.
As for rehabilitation, Mr.. Daniels
believes this is Icing accomplished
without the sacrifice of national spir-
It. unity or force. = lie saws:
1.-TWO fundamental principles have
been constantly borne in mind:
"1l There must be and there has
been no loss Of adaptability TO new
aud expected issues. The readiness
to nit and to hit hard. which Wen the
plaadits Of the allies at the very out
set. has been preserved III every de
tail Of change and readiastment. The
navy 4 returning to peace basis,
but II is conserving the power that
enabled il aud will again enable i to
meet with unweakened sinews any
crisis that may arise. Security for
the future though an uncertain III.
ture. has been for a moment been lost
sight Of.
~ There must be and there has
been 10 loss of symmetry or whole
ness in the naval organization. \
reduced personnel has not been al
lowed to mean fraementarines or
dispropnrtion in whole or in part. As
A vast machine. Is national organ.
ism. as complex Of interaeting agen-
eies. The navy IS n form and spirit a
unit. not a fraction.
TIE story of naval aviation is long
and interesting. nut contains little
that Is not already matter Of com
mon knowledge. Like Secretary Of
War Baker. Mr.. Daniels IS opposed 70
the creation Of separate air service.
Here is what tie report SAYS Of a
matter that has aroused considerable
public anxiety:
The attraction Of higher pay il the
merchant marine has caused the nav
to lose many men. many petty OH
GERS, aud not a few warrant and com
missionaa officers. This las made it
impossible 70 full nan all the ships.
This less has been greater ttan num-
bers indicate. because those who have
left the navy were experienced and
qualified, while the recruits now en-.
/ listing must Re trained before they
are fitted for the mere important dn-
ties. The high wages paid 10 ma
chinists, electricians and other skilled
men IN private industries has pre-
vented the Havv,s securing new men
in the ratings most needed It is to be
hoped Congress will increase the COM
rensation early 50 that many Ct these
men will have a suitable indueement
to re-enter the naval service"

WOOD And WILSON
FOR PRESIDENCY
SOUTH DAKOTA DEMOCRATS AND
REPUBLICANS MEET At SAME
TlME-NAME NOMINEES.

Pierre, S. D.-Maj. Gen. Leonard
Wood was endorsed for president Of
the United States By the Republican
state convention otter spirited
struggle in which Gov Frank Q. Low
den of Illinois came out second best.
While the Republicans were meet
ing in one legislative chamber at
the state capitol the Democratic state
convention in the opposite chamber
endorsed President Wilson for third
term by a unanimous vote. The Dem
acrats also indorsed Vice President
Marshall for third term, if ne is a
candidate.
Under the Richards state primary
law, the county delegations cast their
vote on the basis of their voting
strength at the last state election and
a majority was necessary to indorse
or nominate Wood received $3.50
votes from the Republican majority
and Lowden got 1912. The neees=
sary majority was 25.558.
The Republican convention was
turned into a turbulent session when
one faction halted a roll call on presi-
dental endorsement and urged that
the county delegations withhold their
vote on that question. After this move
was defeated, the supporters Of this
plan, who were classed as anti#eod
delegates, swung their strength 10
Lowden.
The Republicans then quickly en-
dorsed Governor Calvin Coolidge of
Massachusetts for the vice presiden=
tial nomination.
