"A nation with far reaching and
sometimes conflicting internatlon-
al interests must always be pre-
pared to defend its rights. Navies
are peculiar in that if neglected
they lose efficiency with startling
rapidity 1t is fallacious to argue
that we can wait few years and
then with our money and our con-
structive genius raise ours quickly
TO a power commensurate with our
national needs. 1t cannot be done.
Navies are not built in a day; it is
matter of years, even of genera
tions"
While making no recommends
tions for new construction this
year Secretary Daniels in his an
nual report made public yester-
day said he would approve the
general boards recommendations
unless the United States became a
member of the league of nations
or similar association of nations.
In view of the economic situa-
tion the board said construction
should be confined to classes that
would combine combatant strength
of the fleets, and that auxiliaries
might be obtained through the
conversion of merchant vessels in
time of emergency.

doned the theory that Patterson
was responsible for the girls leav-
ing her home here Saturday. He
denies any connection with the af-
fair and no evidence has been
found to definitely show that he
is involved as at first suspected,
police say.
Patterson gained the confidence
OF the Nazarene minister by repre-
senting himself as "the Rev. George
A. thompson. d. D., LII. D." and
Offered to contribute $1,000 TO a
church fund. provided a similar
amount could be raised locally. He
also stated. according to Doctor
Gaines. that he had a friend who
would contribute a like amount.
After discussing plans for the
drive for funds for the new Naza-
rene church edifice, the pseudo
minister told Doctor Gaines conf
dentially that he was bit embar-
rassed financially and asked him to
cash a check for s25. The check
was on the American Security and
trust company of Washington,

Check Worthless. He Admits.
Patterson admitted yesterday to
police that the check was worth

ice and said that he had found no
difficulty in getting the innocent to
fall for his line"

had become known. Search is also

Patterson was arrested at Isleta
following his suspicious actions
while waiting for a train to El

Patterson's story to the police

divorced by his wife several months

left for New York. Last November,
he declared he cashed the first
worthless check, getting the money
