Expects Senate to
Pass Bill Fixing
Print Paper Tariff

Washington, d. C., March ST.
Especial. speaking OF the bill reg
ulating the tariff on print paper
which passed the house on Tuesday.
Congressman Green OF Council
Bluffs, having the measure in charge
for the ways and means committee.
in explaining its provisions said:
+ Neither the democratic nor re-
publican party has favored the tariff
on news print paper. The present
law provides that when the impor:
price reaches 5 cents per pound a
tariff of II per cent should be inn
posed. 1t was expected that this
would only apply to book paper,
but the import price is now close to
5 cents per pound. with every indica-
ton that it is likely to increase
enough to make this tariff rate ap-
DIV. This would further burden the
newspapers and would be especially
hard on the small country papers.
ITO avoid an almost prohibitive
price resulting from this condition
the bill was so drawn that the tariff
should not apply until the import
price reached cents, the intention
being that it should apply to book
paper. I expect favorable action
from the senate on the bill

DANIELS WORK
CRITICISED BY
HIS FORMER AIDE
Secretary Gave Too Much At
tention to Details and Not
Enough to Broad Cues
tions, Fiske Says.

Washington. Marcl, 5f.-Thc re-
lation of tie mental and tempera-
mental characteristics OF Secretary
Daniels to the alleged unprepared-
ness of the navy for war i'll 1917.
was discussed before the senate nav
al investigating committee by Rear
Admiral Bradley A. Fiske, retired,
formerly Mr.. Daniels chief adviser
in the department as aide for oper-
ations. The secretary's character
istics and previous training" Ad-
iliral Fiske said, prevented him
from taking "a broad and profound
view" of the navy's needs.
Up to 1917, the officer declared,
Mr.. Daniels seemed convinced that
there would never be another war.
Mr.. Daniels. Admiral Fiske said,
paid too much attention to details
and did not sufficiently interest him
self in broad questions of plans and
policies. The secretary was particu-
larly solictous regarding the well
fare of enlisted men. the officer as
serted, and naval officers generally
felt that he attached undue impor-
tance to the comfort of the men and
carried his efforts to "democratize
the navy" to an extent inconsistent
with discipline.
z Secretary Daniels was deeply and
sincerely" interested in the welfare
of the men. Admiral Fiske said, ad-
ding that he opposed Mr.. Daniels
plan for the education of enlisted
men because he thought the system
would take too much time from the
military training of the crews.
Rear Admiral H. T: Mayo was
asked by Chairman Hale to prepare
an additional statement setting
forth his views with regard to the
need for a we'll defined foreign pol
icy as related to naval preparedness
and suggestions for the avoidance
in future wars OF naval mistakes
of the world war. He was informed
that he would be called before the
committee again later.

"The allies directly have insulted
the caliphate. Moreover, they are
attempting to take away from Mos
