Says Public Was Deceived.
Washington, March 26.-Charges
that the navy department took

the public regarding a shortage of
personnel in the navy before the

were made before the senate naval
investigating committee today by
Captain Joseph X. Taussig, of the
naval war college at Newport, P l.
Captain Taussig, who was on duty
at the navy department prior to the
war and later served on destroyers
overseas, said that Secretary Dan
iels in his annual report in 1914.
stated that the numerical strength
of the navy was adequate and, in
1915 said that only an additional
10000 men were needed, while the
navy general board in its 1914 re-
port had stated that 19,600 men
we're necessary.
Policy Of Unpreparedness.
The witness told the committee
that the departments policy with
regard to personnel was one of un-
preparedness rather than prepared
ness, even when war with Germany
apparently was inevitable"

tedly Doubtful

Dover, Del, March 26.-Agree-
ment to postpone voting in the Del
aware legislature on the woman's
suffrage amendment until next week
was reached today by Republican
leaders in charge of majorities in
both senate and house.
Plans for a senate vote today
were abandoned. Next Tuesday
was the date tentatively fixed by
the Republicans for a vote in the
house
The new program was decided
upon at a caucus Of the house Re
publicans and joint steering COM
mittee after the leaders conferred
with Governor Townsend.
Delay was determined on In q
hope OF the suffragists to secure
further votes in the house, where
the present alignment admittedly
presages rejection of the ratifica-
ton. Improvement, however, in
the senate situation was claimed by
the suffragist leaders. Overnight
gains they asserted, insure senate
approval Of the ratification reso-
luton.
