DANIELS PREDICTS
BIG TRADE FLEET

| PHILADELPHIA. May 3O.-Speak-
ing at the launching OF five large
ships at the Hog Island yard here to-
day. Secretary OF the Navy Daniels
declared that a great merchant
marine, putting America again in the
front rank as a maritime power. will
be one OF the by-products OF the
| war
THE war rudely awakened US to
| the fact while we were rich and
powerful, the one thing that gave
value in that struggle to all we pos
sessed was ships. and these we lacked,
and lacked woefully," he said.
Won't Quit Building.
1--WE will not quit the shlpbuilding
industry. We will put it on a firm
and sound basis. We will build big
ships and bigger ships, which can be
manned by small crews and have
large steaming radius.
Never again will the United States
be guilty OF the folly of trusting our
foreign commerce to foreign bottoms.
We have learned from the long lesson
OF experience that the only way for
America to do its part in the rebuild
~ its products in its own ships
wherever people stand in need OF the
ever-growing surplus OF American
toll The genius, the craftsmanship.
ana skill OF America must be uni'"d
TO secure large development OF ship
building and commerce and naval
strength which will not alone con-
tribute to the needs of the world. but
insure wider markers for our surplus
products.
Tells OF Decline.
Daniels pointed out the decadencs
OF the American Merchant Marine
from 1855, when it carry "a per cent
of the exports and imports OF the
country. In 1910 our ships carried
only 10 per cent. In 1855 the Amer
lean ships carried S4O5, OOO, 900 worth
of our foreign commerce, while in
1910 the figure had dropped to $31U,-
600. 900.
But" the Secretary added. "one of
the compensations for the burden and
cost OF the great struggle is the re-
birth OF the American merchant ma
rine, for we are building upon such
a scale Of magnitude that was not
dreamed OF in the early days when
the American flag and American COM
merce were seen in all parts Of the
woFId.
1T was an inspiring sight to see
the great British yards, but it is even
more inspiring to witness upon the
Delaware a record-breaker in restor-
ing to the country her birthright. As
a shipbuilding center, the Delaware
soon will be second to no shipbuild-
ing section in all the world"

: -ncl Building. which he had rented
in the name of Charles Winters.
Later learned of his movements.
At o'clock that morning he entered
Bannock Purvis's office. The hard
faced young woman found Duke to be a
different kind of man from what she
vas in the habit of dealing with, for
when she told him ''to wait until Mr..
Purvis could see him." he told her in
very pcremptory tones to get Purvis
here at once.
She scented trouble. for without more
ado she entered the inner Office. In n
moment Purvis came out. full of BON
bast and simulated Indignation. At
sight of Bruno Duke he grew bold. He
evidently did not know him and decided
that the rather tall, slight built, pale,
scholarly faced mau could be easily
ovprawed.
lie changed his tone quickly when
Duke opened the outer door of the
office and disclosed to the view of the
amazed Purvis policeman in uniform I!
