p... that the I. w. w.
anarchists, socialists and others were
''perfecting an amalgamation with one
object, the overthrow OF the United
States government, and the establish
ment of bolshevik republic"
Mr.. Lamar said his conclusion was
based upon information contained In
seized mail matter.
Accompanying the memorandum
were several hundred excerpts from
the mail matter Mr.. Lamar said this
propaganda was being conducted with
such regularity that its magnitude
can be measured by the bold and out.
spoken statements contained In these
publications and the efforts made
therein to inaugurate a nationwide
reign of terror and overthrow the gov
eminent"
Mr. Lamar said it was significant
that this was the first time 'in the
history OF the so-called radical move
ment in the United States that these
radical elements have found common
cause (bolshevism) in which they can
all unite" He referred particularly ia
the dissatisfied foreign elements as be
ing active In the propaganda.
"The l. w. w." said Mr.. Lamar, Ifs

Plans May Be Altered in Favor
of Newer Type OF Fast
Battle Cruiser.
DANIELS HALTS WORK
Secretary and Three Technical Ad
visers Are Going to Europe to
Gather information From Ex-
perenced Officers.

Washington, March 1.-THE entire
battle cruiser program OF the navy,
involving an expenditure of nearly
$500,000000, may be abandoned In
favor of new type of cruiser battle
ship, Secretary Daniels has ordered
work suspended on the six S5-knot
cruisers already authorized until de-
cision as to the future type of capital
ship has been reached.
There is a wide difference of opin-
ion among American naval officers as
to whether the slow battleship and the
fast cruiser, should not give way to a
ship combining the power OF the one
and nearly the speed of the other, and
because of this fact congressional
committees have deferred action on
six additional cruisers, until a full re-
port on new types can be made by the
department
Daniels Going to Europe.
In order to gather information Sec
retary Daniels and three technical ad
visers will sail Saturday for Europe
They will be met overseas by Admiral
Benson. chief of operations and w
Admiral Sims and upon their re
general conference will be
which a majority opinion 9
enced officers will be worke
to what types of capital ship
be built
Work on the big ships is now -.
in the first stage as their construction
was held up during the war so de-
stroyers might be built. Recommen
dations of the Navy department that
six additional battle cruisers be au
thorized were stricken from the naval
bill in the last congress because OF
the disagreement between naval Off
GERS as TO the kind of capital ships
should be built In the light OF the les
sons gained In the war.
Secretary Daniels issued this state
ment:
THE conclusion relating to the type
of capital ships resulting from close
study of naval activities of the presen,
war, has created such a difference oi
opinion among naval experts that the
secretary of the navy has directed the
temporary suspension of the building
of the large battle cruisers"

WHICH Type of Foot is Yours?

You cannot tell until you slip your
foot into all three types of Trupedic
Shoes but then you will know i'm.
mediately.
One of the three-infare, straight or
outhare-will fit you, and that better
than ever you were fitted before
This fact, that there are three types of normal
feet instead of one standard type, has been
established by the scientific research and study
of the American Posture League, an organi-
cation of orthopedic doctors and hygienists Of
national repute.
The League fully endorses the Tupedic Shoe
as incorporating the advanced principles in cor
rectly fitting footwear which they discovered
and recommend.
This shoe has nothing of the appearance of the
usual anatomical shoe but is smart and stylish.
1t conforms to the natural shape Of the foot.

shank holds the upper so that it erasps and
supports the arch naturally, preventing the
foot from sliding forward; the heel of the foot
resting firmly but easily in shallow socket,

Designed primarily TO meet the needs and ap.
prevail of forward looking young men, the
TRUPEDIC Shoe will be welcomed by all
men. II is not a corrective shoe, but trim,
