NAVAL OFFICERS
DISOBEYED DANIELS
TO GAIN RECRUITS
Chief of Bureau of Navigation
BlameS Secretary for
"ProcraStination."

WASHINGTON. % March B.-'Pro-
crastinStton on tho part OF Secretary
Daniels" was responsible for a serious
shortage Of personnel which proved
''the initial handicap Of the navy In
the war" Capt Leigh G. Palmer, war
time Chief Of the Bureau OF Naviga-
tion, testified to-day before the>Senats
Committee investigating the navy's
conduct Of the war.
The Secretary, Capt. Palmer de-
clared, was unable to appreciate the
necessity for obtaining ana training
men in advance OF an actual doclara-
ton Of war. "Bven after war was
declared" the witness said, ''he used
TO say we have too many reserves
now"
Just before the United States
Joined the AIlies. when the Bureau Of
Navigation was striving to recruit
naval reserves. the witness continued,
Secretary Daniels ordered enrolment
in the reserve stopped.
Did you stop7" asked Chairman
Hale. EMO, we needed the men and
went right ahead. talked to Mr..
Daniels the other day and he doeAnt
remember anything about that" said
the witness, "but he did order me 70
stop enrolment then and several
other times"
Describing difficulties in obtaining
Daniels approval on Important pro.
ieots, Palmer told the committee he
was unable TO get authorizations for
barracks az oreat Lakes training sta
ton, Chicago, but went ahead and
built them, asking Congress letter for
the money.
Palmer said requests from Sims for
additional officers TO assist him were
granted whenever possible. Enlisted
men were sent to Sims as fast as we
could train them" said the witness
II did not know he did not get all he
wanted until this investigation came
Up, When tho enlisted men did get
abroad thoy didn't have Barracks for
them"
Sims previously had told the com
mittee that failure to provide him
with adequate assistance early In the
war was one of his greatest difiuul-
ties.
while Palmer was teatifying at the
Capitol, the Court OF Inquiry at the
Navy Department began investigating
the charge Of Rear Admiral w. p.
Fletcher that Admiral Sims without
just cause removed him from COM
mAnd at Brest.
This Court 10 considered 20 be

SPECULATORS IN

With $3.50 on Deposit, One Gives
Check for a $4,000
Option.

THE way Of the apartment

never know just which way he is

Here's an instance OF how far
he will go if given a chance:
A speculator came TO Isaac Son
ensheim OF No. 30 Penn Street.
Brooklyn, several days ago and
asked TO purchase Of him two
houses Of four families each in
Bedford Street, Brooklyn. Mr..
SOnensheim said the houses were
for sale at $4,000. The Epecula-
tor got an option and gave his
personal check for $500 but took
care TO delay signing it until at-
ter banking hours. so Mr.. Sonen-
sheim could not deposit It until
next morning.
In the few hours intervening
the speculator bestirred himself
in the hope he would be able 20
sell his option at a handsome
proht before the check reached the
bank, but he failed. Mr.. Sonen-
sheim presented the check at the
bank designated early next morn
ing and was greatly shocked to
find that his prospective customer
had $3.50 to his credit!

Nearly all rheumatism, headaches,

CHRISTMAS CANDIES
MANUFACTURED here
ARE PRICED Lower

Christmas candy prices will not be
materially affected by the sharp de-
cline in the sugar market, according
10 retail dealers of the city. Candies
manufactured by home industries will
sell from Is to 20 cents cheaper on
the pound cheaper than during the
summer months. but candies bought
from the wholesalers and standard
manufacturers will sell at about the
same price.
Prices for candies this year are
about the same as last year during the
holiday season. Sugar was about two
cents higher on the open market at
this time in 1919 than now, and this
slight difference in price makes no
appreciable difference in the selling
price today.
The pOssessor of 4 sweet tooth
will have to pay from So cents to $3.50
per pound fol his supply, this varying
according to the grade bought and the
manner in which it is put up.
Last year candies had a range OF
from so cents to $160 a pound, and
during the early part of last summer
the price went even higher than that.
Back to Normal.
THE decline in the past few weeks
has been from the high mark as it
was last summer and as a result, the
prices this year are nearly back TO
the normal of last Christmas" local
manufacturer said.
Peanuts are one of the holiday deli
cacies that have returned to pre-war
basis. now selling for Is and 20 cents
pound.
Box candy or package candy will
show no change, dealers say. This
they attribute to the high cost of Ia
Dor and material used in the boxes
and decorations. A general misunder-
standing is said to prevail that the
price of sugar is one of the big items
in manufacture, say al 1.-The dealers.
The real cost is in labor and over
head expense, both of which have
gone up in the last year, they say
Some Dealers Lose.
The fact that Christmas candy or
ders are placed froom four to six
months before the holiday season pre-
vents any very appreciable difference
in the market. Managers all state
that they are making an effort to re-
tail their products according to the
present market price and not on the
price paid in buying. This is caus-
ing a loss. they say, but in order to
help get back to normalcy they say
they are willing to take their loss IS.
The candy man is hit hard this
wear" said one dealer. The goods
we are selling was bought when
sugar was at the peak price and we
are now forced to make some reduc-
tions to meet the present market
price of sugar"
Fruits, figs and dates have all come
down about Is or 20 per cent, accord
ing to merchants. This is a welcome
tact to many people who have been
planning on making their own candy.
