NO EFFORT MADE
TOPREPARE NAVY,
ASSERTS FULLAM

WASHINGTON, April because
of the navy departments policy of
indifference" no effort was made 10
bring the navy to a state of pre-
paredness before the war, Rear Ad-
miral Fullam, former commander of
the Pacific reserve fleet, declared to-
day before the senate naval investi-
eating committee.
The admiral said that in 1915
when he went to the Pacific coast to
take command of the reserve fleet
the ships had so small compliments
that they could not be moved from
the dock. The navy was fatally
short of men," he added, but the de-
partment failed to advocate suffi-
cient personnel increases and was
''to tally Indifferent to the POSSIBLE
ity of a state of war being forced
Upon it."
The only persons in the navy de-
partment who would listen to his
pleas for more men and material
preparedness were the assistant sec
rotary and members of the general
board, the officer declared.
BALDWIN STILL ON STAND
IN NAVAL COURT INQUIRY
WASHINGTON, April Com
mander F. D. Baldwin, witness for
Admiral Sims, continued his testi-
mony today before the naval court
investigating the removal of Rear
Admiral William F. Fletcher from
command of the Brest convoy forced
by Admirals Sims in October, 1917.
Commander Baldwin, in his open
ing testimony, described in detail his
duties as aid for material on Admiral
Fletcher's staff at Brest. These, he
declared, were not sufficient to oc-
cupy his time, although the admiral
denied his request that additional
duties be intrusted to him. 1t was
the general impression" at Brest,
the officer declared, that Admiral
Fletcher had not so organized his
staff as to make full use" of it.
Counsel for Admiral Sims had pre-
viously examined Admiral Fletcher
as to the organization of his staff.

Non-Partisan league has withdrawn its
candidate from the senatorial race aud

latter very much and the Democrats
think it also helps the presidential ticket
To this the Republicans answer that
the Non-PaTtisan league vote consists
largely of farmers who are Republican on
presidential issues. The Non-Partisan
league newspapers openly declare they
viii not take sides in the presidential
contest So it would appear that as a
league, the Non-Partisan membership will
be left to it's own devices and the bulk
of its vote is Republican for agricultural

but because they want change. That's
the way people who know Idaho's polit-
zeal habits analyze the drift toward the
Republican national ticket this year. Dis
satisfaction and unrest are due to var
iety of reasons. some Of which have
nothing to do with the Wilson cabinet.
But just the same the Democratic party
