Yet 1t Is not in the technical details OF

WheAl one looks at the band of leaders

tour of study, and to the little group

understand why the administration of
the Navy was efficient. To Josephus

how to pick out the officers he needs for

Another evidence OF naval efficiency is
found in the fact that for every high
official who went abroad there was. even
to the Secretary himself, an understudy

the absence Of the chiefs, and with full
knowledge Of the policies to be followed
kept every department running smoothly.
There Is not a thought anywhere that
the proposed naval program Of the last
session for the creation Of the greatest
navy IN the world will be seriously con-
sidered by the present Congress. Never
theless. the value to the Navy Of the
present investigation is beyond calcula-
ton and there IL no doubt that the re-
suits Of the studies Of these officers will
be reflected in their work for the Navy

ling Of the responsibility to some one
eise. ia this instance, to Congress.
The probabilities seem to be that
the War Department will oner sub
stantially the same bill as that Offer
ed at the last session with a possible
decrease in the number OF officers and
men authorized. but with provisions
for number Of higher positions and
some modest clause that will permit
the President to make any change in
the Army organisation with a view
to retaining the authority now vested
in the general staff.
A. question far more vital t.' the
Army and to the country than what
the War Department may say t., Con-
gresA is wflat Congress may say to the
War Department 1t is quite gener-
ally understood that some influential
m embers Of the military committees

ed to the United States and let their
views be known before a final deter
mination Of SO important a national
subject. II this view is permitted to
prevail, a makeshift bill of the de-
partrnent< would receive favorable con-
sideration and should be passed with
out serious opposition from any
source. There fs, however. another
side to the question, and that is that
such q course would be a following Of
precedent set in every war in which
the nation has been involved. and
which, in every instance, has led to the
abandonment Of reasonable policy
Of national defense. This time, when
the wounds Of the people still are
sore from the war. is the favorable
time to adopt course that will make
impossible foray upon the soil and
into the, cities and villages of the
United States, such as that which
Germany launched against Belgium
and France.
In whatever action Congress takes it
will undoubtedly consider the attitude
Of the President; and that is quite I'M
certain The purpose of the league of
nations advocated BY him Is to make
armies unnecessary. but the President
openly Endorsed the naval program for
the greateBt navy on the waters, and
the Army bill authorizing more than
half a million men for .three-year en-
listment period. In his letters to Jane
Adams an avowed paeifist, he says
that his head and his heart are in syn-
pathy with her request for a modifica-
ton Of the terms against Germany. The
proeiem before Congress- as to military
policies presents many complications
end difficulties that are not easy of solu-
ton, very IarEsly because they are not
understood by people at large, without
whose understanding and whose support
they will never be determined properly.

How the Others Live.

Death always brings its weight OF
sorrow, suffering and expense" said Ma,
ior Jennie r. Ward, OF the Salvation
Army, "but when death follows long
illness, and is accompanied by destitu-
ton, you can imagine what death means
to many poor families. The Salvation
Army has given immediate relief in hun
dreds of such cases. Some of them are
pathetic beyond the power of words to
describe"
Major Ward explained that poor fam
lilies were forced to live up to every dol
lar earned. Their only possible provi-
sion against restitution following death
is insurance. The income of the usual
poor family is not sufficient to carry
more than o few hundreds insurance.
When the bread winner falls i'll, or when
several members of the family are i'll
at the same time as was the case in
many instances during the "hu" epidem-
ic, the family is forced to mortgage fur
niture, insurance and everything Of val
ne. Then came restitution and death,
It Is habit Of the people, Major Ward
says, to proudly realize on every tangi-
Bile asset and chattel before asking aid.
In these cases the Salvation Army
provides food, clothing, burial expenses
and takes charge of small children while
work is being found for the older mem
bers of the families. The Salvation
Army home service fund drive to carry
on this work among the worthy poor
will be held May 1926.

Trepassey, N. f., May l6.--The naval

the NC-4 will make another attempt this
afternoon to take the air on the second
leg of their trans Atlantic flight by way
Of the Azores. Mechanics overhauled the
NC.4, which arrived here last night from
Halifax, and it was hoped that she would
be ready to join the other planes when
the start is made late to-day.
Rough weather outside Trepassey har-
Dor, which drenched the aviators with
an lev spray, caused them to abandon
the plan to "hop OFF, for the Azores yes

der John II. Towers, chief of the expedl-
ton. Also Commander Towers explained,
Just as the two seaplanes were returning
TO make another rush into the stiff ives
terly wind, the NC-4 arrived and he de-
cided to postpone starting in the hope
that all three of the naval planes might
make the trip.
Weather prospects early to-day were
favorable and the work of overhauling
the NC-4 was progressing rapidly, so
that it was almost certain that three
entries Of the United States navy for
first honors in crossing the Atlantic by
the air route would make another start
toward evening,
In speaking of the unsuccessful at
tempt to take the air late yesterday,
Commander Towers said the NC-l and
NC-3 got little too far out into the
harbor aud added that he thought they
would have made good start if they
had attempted to rise nearer shore. Com
mander Towers denied that the NC-3
had been damaged, but said she was
