DANIELS PLANS TO START WAR GAMES
CBy Review Leased wire)

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-To keep the navy fit and on its toes" two great fleets, one based on the Pacific coast and the other on the Atlantic coast, will be established by next summer with war games and joint, maneuvers as a part of a regular pro gram of training.
 Secretary Daniels, in explaining his plans to the house naval committee today. said that after every war there is a tendency for the navy to retro grade and that the fleet division has been determined upon to prevent any slump. The plan, he said, had re- ceived the enthusiastic endorsement" of Admiral William $. Benson, chief of operations, who is now in Europe with the peace delegation.
 An admiral who can stay long enough to stir up ambition" will be placed in command of each fleet" MT. Daniels said, and all officers will be kept on their ships for two years"
 In effect, the secretary added. there will be a war between the Atlantic and Pacific fleets. which will so stimulate the keenness that it will make the men feel they are in actual war"
 Mr Daniels did not indicate to the committee how many ships will be in each fleet. It is assumed, however, that there will be an equal distribu- tion of the capital ships, most of which heretofore have been kept on the Atlantic coast. During joint maneuvers, the combined fleet will visit each coast so as to give the people on the Atlantic and Pacific seaboards an opportunity to see the full naval force.
 Mir. Daniels also told the commit tee that during peace times the sub -marine bases at San Diego. Cal; Key West. Fla, and New London, Conn.,. and the air defense stations at San Diego and Pensacola, Fla, will be re- tained. The principal training sta tions for seamen in the east will be at Chicago, Hampton Roads and New port. R. L
 Secretary Daniels and Admiral Ben son plan to visit the Pacific coast next summer to study conditions there with a view to recommending exten- sion of navy yards.

LOvETT OPPOSES GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP

possible saving from the elimination of expenses inherent to competition.
 What seems to me serious Objec- tion to government ownership is the very large financial undertaking that would be involved immediately as on December 31, 1916, the total outstand- ing capitalization of all the railroads in the United States amounted to S20,- 679, ,350.501 Of course it would not be necessary for the government to pro- vide the entire amount of this huge in vestment at once. if the government should be willing to acquire the prop erty under existing mortgages, but this would undoubtedly add enormous ly to the value of the bonds outstand- ing, since buying subject to the mort gages. the bonds would in effect be guaranteed by the government"

 There is no reason for panic-in- fluenza itself has very low percent age of fatalities-not over one death out of every four hundred cases, ac- cording to the x. C. Board of Health. The chief danger lies in complications arising, attacking principally patients in a run down condition-those who don't go to bed soon enough, or those who get up tooiearly. s.i.
 HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE Evidence seems to prove that this is a germ disease, spread principally by human contact. chiefly through cough ing, sneezing or splitting. So avoid ing crowds-common drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep up your bod fly strength by plenty of exercise in the open air and good food.
