 Washington December H.--Passage by Congress of a joint resolution providing for pay. increases to navy personnel, as recommended by him in November, was urged by Secretary Daniels in letter to- day to Speaker Gillette of the House, in which the Secretary declared that due to the loss of its skilled men the navy now was unable to name the number of ships that should be kept in commission.
 Emphasizing the necessity of imme- diate action by Congress. Secretary Dan iels asserted that while total enlistments now were about 1020oe, the great ma jority of these were boys undeT 19 years of age, entering as appretice seamen. He added that, based on the diminishing number of warrant and petty officers in the service, the navy has in fact an ef- fective enlisted personnel of only 45,o50
 Due to the rapid loss of men in the skilled grades because of higher wages obtainable in civil life Mir. Daniels said it will be necessary, iniess Congress takes action to enable the navy to se- cure an adequate number of these men, to send the eight dreadnaughts of the Att

COMPELLED BY FOG ID LAND ON ISLAND,
 NC-4 MAKES WAY ID MOBILE SAF FL '
While Radios Search Gulf for Flyers, They Rest Se- curely In Town Blown

 Years Ago
sv Ameehutv1 Pre-,

Mobile, December 21-The trans Atlantic naval seaplane NC-4. missing for several hours yesterday after leav- flight to Mobile. arrived here at 3 o'clock this afternoon, after having spent the night at Grand Isle, 50 miles from New Orleans, the seaplane having been forced to descend on account of the heavy fog.
 Commander A. c. Read and his crew selected Grand Isle because their maps completely destroyed by q tidal wave in 1893, which drowned 300 persons, nothing remaining there now but a small fishing camp
 The commander of the trans Atlantic craft stated that he had experienced much trouble in battling the fog on his trip from Galveston Saturday afternoon, the seaplane having to seek the sur face of the water four times because of the heavy mist which covered the gulf. The radio apparatus is capable of send ing but 20 miles when the craft is on the water and no point was communi- cated with and none of the many mes sages sent out from wireless stations on the coast reached the fog -marooned ship.
 NOT LOST [ The officers of the craft were not lost, but feared to attempt to make off in the fog. According to their state ments on arrival here they did not think that persons ashore would fear for their safety because of prevailing weather conditions, making it impos- sible to fly their craft with safety.
 The officers and crew of the NC-4 passed the night in the lighthouse at Grand Isle, where they were made com fortab1e by the tender.
 We thought that we were landing at town" one of the officers laughingly remarked. "but found that the place had not existed for 26 years, despite the fact that it is still down on the maps"
 Coming into the bay this afternoon the NC-4 had narrow excape from destruction by collision with the Moss Point a small engineers launch. The seaplane missed crash by inches when the pilot steered the craft between the launch. which had disregarded signals from naval officers aboard the govern ments tug Chickasaw. and a three mast ed fishing smack anchored in the har- Dor.
 The NC-4 will leave tomorrow morn

PRELATE CONDEMNS ATTACK


 Dublin, December 2f.-A letter from Archbishop Walsh. condemning the at- tempt on the life of viscount French the viceroy, was read in all the Catholic churcnes in the Dublin diocese today. In his letter the archbishop said:
 The attempt at assassination of the vicerov. which startled and shocked the city yesterday, calls for the melancholy protest of every Irishman who loves his country and who hopes to see the present rule of coeroive government in Ireland brought to ina, end
 'Ts there any rational man capable of deluding himself into the belief that such method of seeking redress for the mis- government os this country is likely to help the efforts of the righteous men who are working earnestly with the. single purpose of re-cstablishing in our coun- try T reign of liberty and justice

At 0&yDreAk tomorrow Colonel Hil- ton, commanding the troops on board as guards, will hand the skipper his instructions. Only few high officials of the war and labor departments know the ships destination.
 The voyage will last IS days unless it is prolonged by unfavorable weather. The presumption is that the Buford will land at Hange, Helsingfors. or Apo, in Finland, which are connected by rail with Bielo- -Osporoff on the Russian frontier. It was intimated in official quarters that arrangements have been made with the Finnish government to permit the passage of the Russians through that country.
 The transfer from Ellis Island to the Buford of the agitators who have preached death and destruction was an event unique in the annals of this nation. Seized in raids in all parts of the country, they were mobilized here for deportation. An elaborate screen of secrecy was thrown about the prep arations for sending them away.
 It was in the darkest hour of night that an army tug drew up at the dock at the migration station to take aboard the undesirables for the seven mile journey down the bay to the Bu- ford.
 
 and as many immigration inspectors. carrying night sticks, patrolled the shores of Ellis Island until the tug arrived at 5:15 D. m. The reds were marched single file between two lines kof guards from the immigration bar racks to the boat landing, each carry
 his or her baggage A score Of Egents of the department of justice cir tulated among the Russians waiting xN- ~s SA., Fh Ac a agents and the soldier guards on the island went on board the tug with the deporters and took them to the trans port.
 MANY WEPT }
 revenue cutter and two other army tugs formed an. escort for the reds, and enc tug lay alongside while they were being transferred to the Buford to pre- vent attempts by those reluctant to leave to swim the half mile to the shore of Staten Island.
 While all the anarchists had pro- fessed joy at the thought of returning to Russia, a few of them wept, and most of them seemed downcast as they stepped on board the tug for the grim journey through the darkness of the harbor to the troopship. The air was cold and biting wind was blowing as they huddled on deck.
 Good bye. America" sobbed Miss Bernstein as the tug plowed past the Statue of Liberty with her lighted torch held proudly aloft.
 The girl was leaving behind Samuel Lpman, her fiance, facing a 20-year term in the Atlanta penitentiary for violating the espionage law.
 Berkman was defiant to the last and threatened secret service men as he stepped from the soil of the United States.

SHORTAGE OF SKILLED MEN

SHORTAGE OF4 SKILLED MEN
 Moreover, the shortage of skilled men, Mr. Daniels said, makes 1t impossible to prevent deterioration of all ship installa- tions and results in great loss of govern ment property.
 The Secretary explained in connection with his message to Speaker Gillette that his recent assurances that the navy was ready for any emergency and that the winter maneuvers woudl be fully par ticipated in by ships of the Atlantic fleet were predicated on the belief that Con- gress by the present time woudl have granted the pay increases recommended.
 The pay increases advocated by MT Daniels before the House naval affair." committee in November called for a flat increase to officers ranging from 5000 for aomffals, vice admrals and rear ad- mirals, to $4s0 for ensigns and warrant officers, a 50 per cent, increase for all petty officers. and 30 per cent advance for apprentice seamefi. 1t is prpposed that the scale be made effective untfl June 30 1921
