BAPTISTS WANT DRY WORLD, PROTEST ALLEGED CATHOLIC FAVORITISM AND ARE OPPOSED TO LIBERAL SABBATH
Denver Convention Also Votes to Work Against In- fuence of Yellow Journal ism and Propaganda of Sedition.

Denver May 27.-Participation of the Baptist churches of the country in social reconstruction work during the postwar period, approval of world wide prohibition, condemnation of in- duStrial strife, recommendation of increased salaries for pastors and protests against what is termed fla VOritism shown Catholics in appoint ments of chaplains by the war and navy departments were contained in resolutions presented to the Northern Baptist convention by the committed on resolutions today
 In the line of social reconstruction first importance is placed on secur- ing reflective national and worldwide e prohibition" The resolutions then include the following subjects:
 2-To preserve the sanctity of the Christian Sabbath and to prevent it's ommercialization.
 3To cooperate with the govern ment in it's effort to eliminate venereaI diseases.
 4-To counteract the influence of the yellow press and the propaganda of sedition and lawlessness by the sup port of worthy periodicals by system atic education, social service insti- luIoS, IllS lOIQIl dlItl dlIV OIIiSI proper means.

Would Support Covenant by
 Cutting Down Armament WANTS ORIGINAL PROGRAM
Speaks Against Authorizing Ten Bat tIeships and Ten Scout Cruisers, Proposed By His Department Several Months Ago.

Washington, May 27.-Authoriza- tion of construction of more capital ships than were included in the navy's 1916 building program was declared by Secretary Daniels to be inadvisable while testifying today be- fore the house naval affairs com- mittee.
 The secretary said since the United States had initiated the league of nations it should show it's "confidence in that covenant" by not auth orizing at this time the ten battleships and ten scout cruisers proposed several months ago by the navy department
 Has Changed His Mind.
 When I appeared before the naval committee last Secretary Daniels said, "I recommed new three year program and the committee favored construction of ten additional battleships and ten additional scout cruisers. That however was before the peace conference discussions started. Since the Allied nations have the covenant of league of nations in which I have the greatest conf- dence. It is the most momentous document in 2,OO0 years
 Since America has initiated this covenant which shall begin a new era Tn the world, we should show our conhdence in that covenant by not at this time authorizing again this in- crease In the new building program"
 Secretary Daniels reiterated the statement he made before the com- mlttee last winter, that if a league of nations would not be one of the out groWths of the war, the United States should have navy second to none in the world.''
 But Two Courses Open.
 There are only two courses for America to pursue,'' the secretary said.
 We must either have a league of nations which shall safeguard the in- terests of every nation and bring to an end the former method of competitive construction. or we must have the biggest navy in the world. There is no middle position. The safety of the country demands it.
 Since last December conditions have changed. The covenant is on the eve of adoption. I firmly believe that congress should not approve ad- ditiona1 construction further than that authorized in the 1916 program"
