DANIELS SPONSORS
BIG NAVY PROGRAM
Secretary Aims at Greatest
Fleet In World for United
"a States.

Secretary ,of the Navy Daniels VIII
20 before the House Naval Anairs
Committee within two weeks with
huge naval building program. ;
He will ask that Congress lay
down by this program policy OF
naval construction which VIII give
the United States a navy as large as
any In the world. I'm the event that
the United States enters the league OF
nations, and which will pave the way
for a navy greater than any other IN
the world, in the event That America
does not enter the league.
Specifically. he will ask that CON
gress permit the navy to proceeo I'M
mediately with work on twenty-siN
capital ships, including sixteen super
dreadnaughts and ten hattie cruisers,
the ultimate cost OF which viii total
approximately $3.50, 000, 00c. For the
work to be done during the nsca'
year beginning July ], 1870. MT
Daniels said this afternoon that ne
would ask for an appropriation OF
5000, 000, 900.
Was Original Tkree-Year Plan.
The twenty-six capital ships called
for in this program are the ships
which IT was originally proposed to
build under the tbree-year program
suggested by Mr.. Daniels in the last
Congress. Authorization for some OF
these already has been given by Con-
gress and the keels OF Few or them
already have been laid.
Whether Congress will do so is con-
sidered extremely doubtful. The pro-
gram of economy adopted by the Re-
publican majority Is such as to close
the door to new projects of any kind.
So far has this policy gone that the
House has refused even to retain In
the deficiency bill for the current fis-
cal year the $4,000. 900 asked for by
Mr.. Daniels to keep up repair work
on the ships now in the navy. In con-
sequence, the Navy Department, un-
less the Senate overrides the House,
faces the necessity of furloughing
$4,000 skilled civil service workers
now employed in the Government
yards.
To Renew Request for Navy -,
Mr.. Daniels demands will no stop
with the request for the $500, 100000
naval construction appropriation, but,
in order to obtain the personnel
which will be required for the aug
mented fleet. he will renew his re-
quest for an increase in navy pay
that will add another 350.O00,ooo to
the budget he will present.
While numerically the proposed
program would not give the United
states as large navy as Great
Britain's, 1t can be stated that the
designs already drawn up for the new
ships would make them the most pow
crful fighting craft in the world and
would involve cost OF $50, 100000 a
ship. .I~ E ....,

FORT WORTH, Texas. June 2G.--

tactics of defense and offcnsc he had
employed successfully against Oppo-
nents for nearly a half century were
not effective against old ago and
disease which were aided by wounds
inflicted by other nsaailnnts In years
gone By.
Captain, lieutenant outlaw, bandit
guerrilla Hcllion, William Wyrth
james had earned aud borne all
these titles while fighting under
three flags and without flag.
His stormy career was woven
through the history of the early
south. Europe. Africa, Australia and
South America In wild and roman
tic pattern that viii ever defy dupll-
cation.
A cousin of Jesse James, he was
born In lower Mississippi In 1Sis,
and remained there until he was
twelve years old. Here his only
companion was "Old Match" mn an
cient Natchez Indian who inhtillod
into the boy his first knowledge of
woodcraft. Being considered n
weakling who was adversely affected
by the climate OF the Mississippi bot
toms, he was then sent to live with
relatives and attend school near In
dependence. Ohio.
Early In 1862, the lad. then about
fourteen years old, began his career
of battle by killing eight men dur
ing an attack by Jayhnwkors upon
his relatives home, according to ira
ditions.
In July OF the same year he Joined
the ranks OF Colonel Charles VIII
liam Quantrell at Independence, and
a. one OF "Quantrells Uellions," he
was outlawed by the federal general
staff with orders that he should be
har ged or shot ns soon aH captured,
His capture was never accomplished.
The first federal officer who had
an opportunity to carry out this or
der was a recruiting officer before
whom James appeared In Fort
Worth during 1917 In an effort to
enlist for service overseas
Throughout the civil war he
served with the guerrilla forces OF
Quantrell and took part In many of
the more notorious raids OF that
rebel Ho was cited u number OF
times fer individual bravery and
won his lieutenant's bars In this
service.
After the termination of the civil
war, he ncxt appeared as n member
OF the notorious James band under
the leadership OF Jesse James, and
his memoirs are filled with sonti-
ment of hatred for Kansas. During
the reconstruction days he was also
credited with having ridden under
the fiery cross OF the ku klux klan.
In 1870 he went to London, min
Ions OF the law having made his
stay in America hazardous, The
Franco -Prussian war attracted the
attention OF the young former from
tersman. and he cast his lot with
the French, Trench warfare was
new to him. and his hardships and
experiences instilled u bitterness
against the Germans which lasted
all his life. on his death bed he re-
counted the deeds credited to tho
Germans during the late war and
expressed his regret that he had
been considered too far above th'
