Took Throne From Sister.

1t IS not generally known that the
king of Spain succeeded not his IA
Their but his sister, the Infanta Mer.
cedeS. who was, though only six years
old. queen of Spain from the death Of
her father, Alfonso MI, to the birth Of
the present king. Altogether she
reigned 100 days, probably the short
est reign on record. The Saic law,
which bars females from the accession
to n throne, does not operate In Spain
and until the sex of Alfonso MIS-
posthumOus child was determined. the
eldest of his two daughters automat-
ICally succeeded him.

tary of the Navy Daniels today before
the senate committee investigating
the charkes made by Rear Admiral
Sims against the conduct Of tho war
by the navy department
For tho hrst timc the speech Of the
president to the officers of the Allan
tic fleet at Yorktown. Va. in the sum
mer Of 1917. was made public wher
Secretary Daniels read il TO the COM
mittee today. The president complain
cd the British were adhering To trad
ition in conducting naval operations.
Speaking Of the campaign against
the submarine. the president declared
we are hunting hornets all over
the farm and letting the nest alone
None OF us knows how to so to the
nest and smash it and yet / despair
OF hunting for hornets all over the sea
when I know where the nest is and
| know the nest is breeding hornets
as fast as l can ind them.
Every time We have suggested any
thing to the British admiralty the re-
ply has come back which virtually
amounts to this. that it had never
been done in that way. and ! felt like
saying Wen. nothing was ever done
SO systematically and nothing is being
done now
Daniels continued to quote the pres
ident.
Therefore should like to sec some
thing unusual happen. something that
never was done before. There is no
other way TO win. / am willing for
my part and ! know you are willing

crush that nest because il we crush
it, the war is won"
The presidents speech continued
Daniels outlined the plans Of the
navy department made prior to the
outbreak of the war lie referred to
the announced policy Or the president
in February. 1916. when lie declared
the United states navy ought in my
judgment be incomparably the most
adequate navy in the world"
He further referred to his own order
Of October z. 1915. to the general
board for the formation or a fve year
building program OF new construction
OF naval vessels
Daniels quoted from the report Of
the general board to the effect that
this is the first time any administra-
tion has decided To present to con-
gress a continuing ship building pro-
gram. The program was estimated to
cost S50o.ooo.O00 at that tine. Increas-
ed costs have raised that amount TO
$S00.o00.000. Daniels declared.
"All this shows the navy department
was alive TO its responsibilities before
our entrance into the war. Daniels
declared
Daniels said the president insisted
upon the bottling up or tho submarin-
rs while the experts OF the British
navy refused TO grant their approval.
They were supported by Admiral
Sims in their contention" Daniels
said "A delay or SIX months in the
placing Of the mine barrage in the
North Sea 10 screen in the submarines
was charged 10 Admiral Sims by Dam
iels.
"A further delay Of two months was
experienced because on the weather
conditions existing when we nnally
obtained the approval Of the British
admiralty TO an amended plan" Dan
iels declared. T do not want TO re-
