WOULD MAINTAIN
NAVY'S STRENGTH
PRE5ENT PROGRAM IS TO KEEP
UP ORGANIZATION Until
SOLDIERS ARE HOME.

Washington. - Although the Navy
Department has placed itself on rec
ord as being opposed to launching
new building programmes which
would give the United States navy
second to none in the world" it is
in favor of rushing to completion all
capital ships already authorized and
of maintaining temporarily at least a
force OF men capable of handling amy
emergency which might arise"
Secretary Daniels. continuing his
testimony before the House naval af-
fairs committee. read a communica-
lion from the general board, which
recommended that the 10 battleships
and six battle cruisers authorized in
the 1916 programme should be COM
pleted as soon as possible; and that
no radical changes should be made in
construction of the vessels.
Recommendation was made by the
secretary that provision be made in
the 1920 appropriation bill for navy
Of 250,000 men. only $4,000 less than
are now in the service. He asserted
that unless this number was outnor-
lied the navy would be unable to aid
materially in bringing American
troops home from Europe. and in ad-
dition would be dangerously weak
ened."
Mr.. Daniels emphasized that the
Navy Department did not intend 70
ask Congress- at this time for per-
manent navy of 250.00O>men. but only
for temporary force large enough to
take care of the work arising in the
transition period between war and
peace.

IN suEENEsS CEMETERY NEAR
CITY OF PARIS.
URGES LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Says Allied Dead Must Not Perish ir
Vain-Says Our Duty Is To Pre-
vent War in the Future
Euioaizes Brave Dead.

Paris.-President Wil3an, in hts
Memorial Day address at the graves
of the American dead in Suresnes
Cemetery. near Paris, said the League
of Nations was the covenant OF gov
ernments that the millions who fell
in the great war shall not have died
in vain, and added that he booked for
the time when every man who now
opposes the league would be just as
ashamed Of it as if he now regretted
the union of the states after the Civil
War.
Declaring that the standards or an
older order are trying to assert them
selves again the president said those
who sought to accomplish the return
to IAN order of which we are ashan-
ed" must realize that they cannot sue
coed because "tiic peoples of the
world are in the saddle" and private
counsels of statesmen cannot now
and cannot hereafter determine the
destinies of nations"
After paying tribute to the Amer
can dead, the president declared IL
would be no profit to eulogize the
brave men who fell in the war unless
the lessons they taught were taken
to heart. The American soldiers, ire
said, did not cross the seas merely to
defeat Germany, they came to- de-
feat forever the things for which
the central powers stood and see TO
it that there should never be a. war
like this again.
1T is for us. particularly for us
who are civilized" said Mr.. Wilson,
ito use our proper weapons of coun-
sci and agreement to see to- it that
there never Is such awar again The
nation that would now fling out OF
this common concord OF counsel
would betray the human race.
$50 it is our duty to take and main
tain the safeguards which will see to-
It that the mothers of America and
the mothers of France and England
and Italy and Belgium and all other
suffering nations shall neverebe called
upon for this sacrifice again.
.'This can be done, it must be- done,
and it will be done"
