It Was Not Until After the
War Was Declared, Tes-
tilted the Secretary, That
Anyone Dreamed TIL a t
Such a Great Naval Force
Would Be Necessary, and
Then Steps Were Taken
to Meet That Need.

n, Washington, d. G., May 20.--Secre'
tary Daniels to-day replied TO the criti'
cisms of naval officers that he did not
take adequate steps to secure sufficient
personnel for the navy before the Unit
ed States entered the war. He told
the Senate committee investigating the
nayy's conduct OF the war that efforts
TO link his pcrsonnel policies in 1914
with the World war had been "abor-
tive" and declared that If he erred
then it was because he followed the
precedents established by those who
precede hini IN Office.
He had been criticized by Rear Ad-
miral Fiske aud other officers because
in 1914 he only asked Congress far
enough men to fill the peace compile
ments OF the ships Secretary Daniels
said. although he was only following
recommendations of the general board,
made in conformity with established
policies of the department
Mr.. Daniels reviewed all the person.
mel legislation during his term OF
office, and told the committee that
what the navy did in enrolling and
training young men during the World
war has had no precedent in any navy
during the last or any previous war.
The British navy, he said, totalled
4I5,l62 officers and men when the afml-
stice was signed, against 52O,02l
for the United States.
In Nav 1916 the general board rec
commended 100000 men as the number
necessary for the navy for war in the
Atlantict Mr. Daniels said. On August
of that year he recommended and
Congress authorized Just 5000 less than
that number, he declared.
Nobody in the navy in 1915 or 1916
dreamed that in any war so many as
100000 men would be needed, he de-
clared.
II was not until after the United
States entered the war that it be
came evident that preparations must
he made on a much larger scale than
100000 men. he said.
Efforts of Admiral Fiske TO convey
60 the committee an impression that
the secretary directed the general
board in 1914 to eliminate certain rec
concentrations with regard to the per
sonnel were unjust to the board and to
him. Mr.. Daniels said. He did not ask
for a large increase in personnel that
wear, he said, because he did not be
lieve Congress or the country were dis
posed TO spend the money necessary
adding, however. that he did not order
anv part of the boards recommenda-
tions withheld He did suggest that
the board stress the building program
and eliminate reference to any partie-
ular increase in men that year.
Mr.. Daniels paid tribute TO the work
Of Rear Admiral Victor Blue, formerly
chief of the bureau of navigation and
read a letter from that officer denying
Rear Admiral Mckeanis statement to
the committee that shortage Of navy
personnel was largely due 10 an error
made by Admiral Blue in 1913 IN esti'

GOAT GLANDS GIVING
BABIES TO CHILDLESS
Woman and Three Men Become
Parents After Operation by Doctor

MILFORD. Kan. Feb. "a sur
geon In this little Kansas town has
lifted from womanhood the curse OF
stcriiity.
He In DIR. J. X. Brinkley, chief sur.
gcon OF the Brinkley Jones hospital
of Milford.
For several years Or. Brinkicy has
made n study of the transportation
OF intcrstitial glands and its results.
Unlike DIR. Serge voronoff. the IA
nous French surgeon. who uses mon.
key glands. and DIR. q. Frank Lyds-
ton. tho Chicago surgeon. who trans
plants human glands. DR.. Brinkley
uses glands taken from living goats.
ANNOUNCES SUCCESS
IN FOUR OPERATIONS
DR.. voronoff and DIR. Lydston
claimed to have discovered the Sc
cret Of making old men young. but
DR.. Brinklcy claims no such virtues
for his operations. He is Interested
only in giving babies to men and
women whom Nature has cheated Of
their natural heritage.
Two years ago he performed his
first operation. Since then he has
circnnvented Nature four times
making II possible for three men and
one woman TO become parents. He is
awaiting results hopefully In four
other eases.
Thu most remarkable case Is that
OF the woman. She Is n young mar
ried woman of Milford. who had been
married several years and had de-
SPARED OF bearing children About n
year and half ago she heard of
DR.. Brinkiey and his success with in
terstitial CLAN Operations. She went
TO him and asked him II he could cure
her sterillty.
DR.. Brinkley made no promlses-he
never does. But he told her the OPP
Grafton was a simple one. and that 1t
would improve her health, even IL 1t
failed to give her n child. She gladly
submitted to tho operation.
DIR. Brinkley removed an intersti-
tial gland from n live male goat. He
made n slight incision In the wom-
ans abdomen. inserted the gland and
stitched II in. In n week the patient
was about her household duties
again.
Six months ago she gave birth to
a healthy baby. II was boy. Tho
mother was the happiest woman in
Kansas.
The surgeon had treated six other
cases similarly. but all were men,
men who loved children and yearned
for parenthood. Three Of the men
