SECRETARY DANIELS
| COMES ON MT. vernon
Spent Several Weeks in Europe.
Withholds Opinion on Sink
ing German Ships.

NEW YORK, May 17.-Secretary' of
the Navy Daniels. who has been in
Europe for several weeks inspecting
American naval forces and paying
visits to European government au-
thorities. returned today on the trans
port Mount Vernon.
Secretary Daniels said 1t was not
yet determined what would be done
with the German battleships. but that
there was strong feeling, particu-
larly in England. that they should be
sunk
The Secretary declined to express
his opinion in the matter. but quoted
a statement by Rear Admiral William
s. Berson, chief of American naval
operations in European waters, that
they should be sent to the bottom as
"a great moral lesson" The advan-
tage of such course. he said, it was
generally believed. would be to make
the future naval program of nations
easier to adjust
French sentiment, Mr.. Daniels said,
was somewhat divided on the ques-
ton. the main argument there against
sinking the ships being that it would
be waste of property" AS opposed
to this contention the Secretary de-
clared that if the United States. for
instance. received any Of the Germa n
vessels it would be found that we had
no equipment to make ammunition
and torpedoes such as would be re-
Quired for them. and that by the time
the machinery was set up the ships
would be obsolete.

Athletic Events at Beach.

At the beach a schedule of. athletic
events will be run off under the di-
rection of Prof Maurice A. Joyce. we'll
known both as a. court crier and a
physical instructor.
The planked shad dinner with the
usual trimmings is under the direc-
ton of Joseph A. Burkart. who has
presided successfully in this capacity
on many similar occasions. A ball
game between the odd boys and the
neophytes of the law is one of the
chief attractions.
While all law controversies are ia
boo on this occasion. the committee
is said to have provided a number
of cases" which are expected to be
discussed eXhaustively and to be dis
posed of finally before the whistle
blows at 6 O'Clock for entraining for
home.
AS the judges of all the courts were
invited to the shadbake. no sessions
were held in the various courts, and
with the exception of the issuance of
marriage licenses but little business
was transacted at the courthouse.
Two or three of the clerks remained
on the job and missed the festivities
but by far the majority accepted the
invitation of the bar association and
spent the day at the beach.
