NAVAL PROGRAM
is HELD UP BY
CON T ROVERSY

Washington, March 17.-Possibility
that the whole battle cruiser pro-
eranome of the navy, involving an
expenditure of nearly half billion
dollars, will be abandoned in favor of
a new type of cruiser battleship was
indicated today by announcement
that Secretary Daniels had ordered
suspension of work on the six 35-knot
cruisers which were authorized un-
I'll a decision as to the future type
of capital ship could be reached.
There is a wide difference of opin-
ion among American naval officers as
to whether the slow battleship and
the fast cruiser should not give way
in the future to a ship combining
the power of the one and nearly the
speed of the other Because of this
congressional committees have de-
ferred action on six additional cruis-
ers until full report can be made
by the department.
It is to gather information for this
report that Secretary Daniels and his
three chief technical advisers viii
sail Saturday for Europe. They will
be met overseas by Admiral Benson
| chief of operations, and Vice Ad
miral Sims, and upon their return ;
| general conference will be held a
which majority opinion of expert
enced officers will be worked out a.
to what types of capital ships shoulC
be built
The navy has not had similar con
troyersy of ship designs for ten years
IN this case the Navy General Board
charged with deciding upon the mill
tary characteristics of new ships, dis
agrees with the opinion of the high
officers who have had experience
overseas in the present war. On the
board are two former commanders Of
the Atlantic fleet, Rear Admiral:
Badger and Fletcher. They believe
construction of both dreadnaught.
and battle cruisers should continue.

FRIGHT AT THE FRONT"

NJ E. Hutchinson in Christian Cen
tury says:
"The Y. NJ. C. A. sent overseas TO-
900 men, all of whom volunteered.
Fifty-seven of these were torpedoed,
thirteen suffered violent deaths in
France, 1875 were casualties. One
hundred and eighty-six are known to
have received the Distinguished Serv-
ice Cross. the Croix du Guerre or
other military honors. Out of the
first $500 "Y" workers who arrived
in France, all except five insisted on
an assignment right at the 'front.'
Pershing, Lloyd George, Clemenceau,
the King of Italy, President Wilson
the Y. NJ. c. A. more praise than DR..
John R. Mott himself ever gave it,
but what does this count against the
testimony of Private O'Kelley, who
never did see none of them slackers
in the front line trenches
Gas to profiteering, the 'Y' sent
overseas and gave to the soldiers,
absolutely free, enough movie film
to reach from New York to Paris,
enough baseballs and footballs to
fill the Washington monument,
enough ball bats to make picket
fence ninety-five miles long, enough
writing paper to make a building
higher than Woolworth's, enough ink
to fill swimming pool, enough New
Testaments to furnish every man,
woman and child in Greater New
York with a copy, enough smokes and
sweets for free distribution to dou-
BILE, even quadruple, all the free gifts
of all other welfare agencies COM
bined. All of this does not count.
The 'Y' men were profiteers. Just
ask anybody, except the War De-
partment, which, over signed state
ments, absolutely deny this charge
against the Y. M. C. A.
Honestly, it makes man feel
like good old Prophet Isaiah, who,
after a hard day, used to go out in
the sagebrush and exclaim:
"'Oh, piffle!"

Before T. r. Was Famous
(From the Outlook)

William ID. Murray, of Plainfield,
n. j., sends US this characteristic
story of Mr.. Roosevelt in his early
DAYS: Il had the good fortune to be
in the same class in Columbia Col
lege Law School in New York with
Theodore Roosevelt. 1t was back in
1881. when the school was housed
in an old dwelling IN Great Jones
street. Roosevelt had been gradu T.
ed from Harvard in 1880, and l had
come from the same class at New
Haven. Part of our training was to
conduct moot courts-make-beli
trials. The prince of teachers, Theo-
dore w. Dwight, presided. The other
day | thought 1 would look back in
my old diary to see If / had made
any mention of Roosevelt when he
was as yet unknown. l was greatly
interested, therefore. to run across
this entry, written on January %,
1881: I had my first moot court
case and won it. There were three
others on my side. Theodore Roose-
Welt made the best argument, as
he hit the exact point ow charac-
teristic of him to. hit the exact

Those were happy days, If per-
chance you were fortunate enough
to have a father of that kind. and
you learned a lot on those excur-
sions of the things every ''he-man"
in America ought to know. Also,
you owe it to that boy of yours to
pass the heritage OF father and son
fellowship along to him. After a
while the lad will have nothing of
you but a memory. What kind of a
memory are you going to give to
him?
These are some of the thoughts
that have prompted the Y. M. C. A.
to make Father and Son Week an
annual feature of ''Y" work. But
Father and Son Week will mean
little unless fathers and sons get
permanently closer together as a
result of the yearly contact. You
owe your lad more than a living
and an. education. What are you
going to do about it?
If you are in doubt, let the Y. NJ.
