BUREAU CHIEFS IN PARTY
Naval Secretary to Discuss
With Allies Best Type Of
Capital Ships.

WASHINGTON, March 7.--secretary
Daniels and a party Of American naval
experts will start for Europe n 81 week
to discuss with allied naval officials the
best type OF capital warships TO be built
in the future based on tho lessons
gated in the great war. Because Of
conflicting opinions on this subject
among American officers the Secretary
has been asked TO submit q definite
recommendation 10 tho next Congress in
December.
1t also was learned to-day that sec-
rotary Baker would sail for Europe
about April to close UP the business
operations OF the American Expedition
airy Forces. He will be absent about
six weeks and probably will arrive over
seas before Secretary Daniels returns
home. Thus President Wilson and the
beads OF both the army and navy prob
ably viii be away from the country at
the same time-a situation which many
officials said to-day was without
precedent.
Secretary Daniels will be accompanied
by Rear Admiral Taylor. chief Of the
bureau OF construction and repair; Rear
Admiral Griffin. chief OF the bureau of
steam engineering: Rear Admiral Earle,
chief OF the bureau OF ordnance. and
Commander Foote, his personal aid. The
party will be Joined overseas by Ad-
miral Benson, chief OF the bureau OF
operations, who Ia attached to the
American peace delegation. and Vice
Admiral Sims, commanding all Amcri-
can naval forces in European waters.

VIII Leave Week Hence.

Mr.. Daniels and his party will sail
from New York on the transport Levia-
than week from tomorrow and will
go first to Paris to confer with the
French Admiralty. Later they will visit
London and Rome and probably will be
away month or more. Plans for the
return trip have not yet been made.
While all deductions to be drawn from
war experiences will be discussed in de-
tail. the American mission will address
itself particularly to the question OF fu-
ture types Of capital ships. 1t has been
tho Judgment OF the Navy General
Board, charged with fixing the military
characteristics of new ships, that the
United States should continue to build
dreadnoughts of constantly increasing
power and battle cruisers. This view
is held by Rear Admiral Fletcher, chair
man of the general board and former
commander Of the Atlantic fleet.
Admiral Mayo. now commander OF the
Atlantic fleet; Vice-Admiral Sims and
Rear Admiral Rodmsn, the three officers
who have held the highest posts OF the
American service in the war zone, be-
lieve, however, that a composite ship
combining tho speed Of a battle cruiser
with the gun power and armor OF a
battleship should be substituted. These
officers have been particularly impressed
by British experiments toward COM
posite craft with the construction of the
Hood. one of the so-called British hush"
ships.

"An Overwhelming Majority"

@The first thing am going to tell
the people on the other side Of the
water" said Mr.. WILSON In his Tues
day night speech, "is that an over
whelming majority Of the American
people is in favor Of the League Of
Nations" 1t must be assumed that
the President had in mind his own
notion of League of Nations, popu-
larry known as the Wilson draft. for
1t was almost in the next breath that
he turned his wrath upon the critics
Of 'this covenant"
What had been Mr.. WILSON'S op-
portunity to arrive at this sweeping
Judgment of the American peoples
attitude? He was absent from this
country from December 4, 1918, until
February %, 1910, a period Of twelve
weeks. The time that elapsed be-
tween his arrival in Boston and his
speech in the Metropolitan Opera
House was one week.
During the three months between
Mr.. WILSON'S first departure for Eu-
rope and his remarkable statement
about the temper Of the American
people the Senate Of the United
States was In session. That Senate
is composed Of men directly elected
by the people, directly responsible to
them. 1t must be assumed that most
Senators-even those Democrats who
were completely under the President S
thrall-were eagerly receiving, not
only the news that came from Paris
relative TO the terms of the League
covenant, but the opinions of the peo-
pie of their respective States on the
proposed abandonment OF American
traditions and sovereignty. 1t is only
natural that the members of the body
which is the final judge Of Americas
international agreements should have
their ears to the ground. The future
of most of these Senators will depend
in large measure upon their attitude
toward the covenant.
While PRESIDENT WILSON was IN
Washington thirty mine Senators from
twenty-eight States, or more than half
" the Union, signed pledge not to
vote for the ratification Of the cove
nant of the League of Nations in its
present form--the form which Mr..
WILSON, without ifs or ands and with
out public explanation, has arbitra-
rily commanded the United States to
accept. The combined populations of
the twenty-eight States represented
in the pledge make up approximately
two-thirds of the entire population of
The United States These States, with
the names of the Senators pledged In
writing and the number OF the IN
habitants, as estimated by the Cen
sus Bureau for 1918, follow:
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-03-08

London once, to-4a Fleet street,
Paris once, o Rue de la Michodiere, on

Brooklyn once, Room goa. Eagle Build
ing, sos Washington street.
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1919-03-08

But, the supporters OF the Wilson
covenant may object. there are twenty
States none of whose Senators have
signed the pledge. True, and here are
the names Of these States:

Spring Stunts!

Love Is all very well for the pro-

housekeeping. sewing and gardening
that is part of home-making!
Get ready for the spring cleaning
by giving closets. trunks and bureau
drawers AN overhauling, cleaning and
sorting out. Pack away winter cloth
es. first having them well cleaned and
aired.
Discard all surplus clothing. old
furniture and excess bric-a-brac. Get
rid of useless stuff that is only a care.
Take a rainy day to set h porch
furniture in the attic or basement and
repaint it n the iower-boxes. Take
measurements and plan for new
porch cushions. rugs. etc.
Clean and use whitewash in the
basement and dispose of all rubbish.
accumulated papers, ashes, etc.
Look over the screens and awnings
to insure their good condition.
Paint the frames, wash and dust
the screening and brush well with
coal oil to prevent rust. or paint with
very thin green paint. Screens paint
ed white are practically Opaque from
the outside and are desirable in win
dows close to the street or neighbor-
ing houses.
Look to the household plumbing.
A strong solution OF washing sod in
boiling water should be given the
bathroom pipes nce a month and the
kitchen sink once a week. Examine
and lean the garbage can and set it
outdoors. A heavy o of paint pre-
serves the metal. Be sure the lid is
dog proof IND fy-tight.
Take an inventory OF the family
clothing and the linen rooms.
List and note the materials on
hand, those needing repair, and those
which must be replaced. 1t saves
time and prevents buying more than
is needed or emitting essentials.
This is q good time to inspect
kitchen and pantry equipment, dis
posing OF outworn utensils and filling
