The critical condition of the United
States Navy, brought about by the fail
ure of Congress to provide increased
pay for officers and men, was discussed
last night by Franklin d. Roosevelt,
Assistant Secretary of the Navy; Rear
Admiral Plunkett and others at the
mass meeting in Carnegie Hall for the
benefit of the Manhattan Navy Club.
commanded by Rear Admiral Plunkett
Only thirty-five of the 144 destroyers
are in service, he said, because of the
shortage of men.
Thirty-five battleships, Mr.. Roosevelt
asserted, are tied up in navy wards be-
cause it has been impossible to get
crews to man them.
The Assistant Secretary placed re-
sponslbllity for the present condition
OF affairs upon the shoulders of United
states Representative Mondell, chair
man of the House Navy Committee.
whom he termed "the Car Of the
House who vetoed the navy paw bili'S
Admiral Plunkett also had some
causuc words to say about Mr.. Mon
dell. tie described the condition brought
ABOUT IN the destroyer squadrons bv
the shortage of men and then ex
exclaimed:
One man is responsible for all this.
only one man stands in the way of
remedylng this situation. He is Mr..
Mondell."
Neither Secretary Daniels nor Bisbon
burch, who had been invited as guests
OF honor, attended. Other addresses
were made by Mrs. Douglas Robinson.

he was appearing in the Mexican cap
ital as dove of peace. The friction
between the two nations made him sor-
rowful, he said. Just as soon as he
got around to it he was going to write
a great poem an especially great poem
that would wake the feelings of
brotherly love in the hearts of each
race and bind them in trust and friend
ship for ever more.
That sounded all right. Mexico City
held dinners and receptions, and ser
enades and torchlight parades in honor
of the great author and about to- be
peace maker After samping all of the
lavish Mexican hospitality spread be-
fore him, Senior Ibanez issued a state
ment on his Impressions Of Mexico
1t was not an enthusiastic, tactful or
particularly grateful statement. There
were many things about Mexico the
senior didn't like, He said them; but
they were mild compared to what
Mexicans, their idol shattered, began
to say about the senior.
The peace poem probably never will
be written. Beside, in their present
temper the Mexicans, if urged to peace
by lbanez, probably would utter pierre
ing whoops and go to war at once

DR.. Maxwell was an earnest advo-
cate Of larger degree Of independ-
ence, and especially of financial indie
pendence, for the school system of New
York. He charged interference and
"usurpation" of the Board of Estimate
and Apportionment with much Of the
delay in erecting needed school build
ings and consequent lack of school
room. At the beginning Of the contro-
versy over the right Of women teachers
to be married, or of married women to
be teachers, he conducted a careful
investigation, and as a result reported
that there was q marked increase of
efficiency after marriage. A few years
later he vigorously opposed the intro
duction Of the Gary system" into New
York schools, and by SO doing became
again involved in a somewhat acri-
monious controversy with the Board
of Education.
Early in 1917 the condition Of DR..
Maxwel's health indicated he would
never again be able to perform the
duties of the superintendent office,
though he might often be a valuable
adviser to the Board of Education
Accordingly, the Legislature author
lied the Board of Estimate to amend
the city charter so as to create the Of
flee of Superintendent Emeritus. To
that place the board unanimously
elected him January 80, 1918, fixing
his salary at it's former figure of $10,-
900 a year.
Prominent in Educational Councils
DR.. Maxwell was long prominent in
the councils Of the national and state
educational associations. He was for
time president Of the National Edu-
cation Association and of the State
Council Of Superintendent. He was a
member of the conference on English
which reported to the committee of
ten, presided over by DR.. Eliot, of
Harvard, the wei known scheme for
courses Of study in secondary schools.
He also served on the committee on
English appointed by the Association
Of Colleges and High Schools of the
Middle States and Maryland, the rec
concentrations of which have been
accepted by practically all colleges
and have revolutionized English teach
ing in high schools.
He was married in 1877 to Miss Marie
A. Folk, Of Brooklyn, who died eight
year: He is survived by two children,
William II. Maxwell jr. and Mrs
Elaine Macklin, both of this city.

No definite action was taken yester-
day, but all matters were refe rred to
committees, which will report this

A strong denuncation of the govern
ment and Congress fer .neglecting the
business interests of the country was
made BY John Branch, a Richmond, Va,
banker. Mr.. Branch declared tho APP

Colonel Henry w. Andersen. of Vir-
ginia, a member of the committee and
member of the committee on plat
form and policies of the National Re-
publican Committee, in an extended
address, denounced the present excess

TO CONTINUE WORK FOR
LEAGUE OF NATIONS
Independents Are Back From
Their 1000 Mile Tour.

A party of speakers of the Pro-
League Independents. headed by Prof.
Irving Fisher OF Yale, returned yester-
day from a 1000 mile tour of the coun-
try. during which they spoke to about
IS, 900 people. urging from a non-parti-
san basis the entrance of the United
States into the League of Nations.
The independents said they did not
feel disappointed with the turn of the
election, and at a luncheon at the Com
modore Hotel a few hours after their
return, decided to continue their work
for the league.
1t was decided to form a committee
of three, with Prof. Fisher at the head,
to confer with the leaders of other pro
league organizations and with the thirty
one Republican signers OF the ante
election statement which vouched for the
adherence Of Mr.. Harding to the league
idea The independents intend to make
a strong appeal for ratification Of the
treaty of peace at the December session
of Congress.

jority Of the votes in Harris county. OF
which Houston Is the capital That
would indicate that another year the

I'll Paso county elected a straight Re-
publican ticket, but like Harris county.
because II had several counties attached.
It failed to name q Republican Repre-
sentative. Neither of these heavily
populated counties ever had gone Repub-
lican before.
In Dallas the Republicans made a
gain of moreJ than 5000 votes. while In
Galveston county they gained some 500.
One Of the strange incidents connected
with the election is in South Texas.
where the German vote is polled and
which the Democrats said would give the
Republicans majority. This section
either went for Neff or the American
party.
In Southwest Texas. the Brownsville
district. the Republican party polled a
greatly increased vote. Brownsville and
It's county went Republican.
In many other counties OF the State
there were Increased Republican votes.
but there had not been Organization
work sufficient to show majorities. Be
cause the Republicans failed to put out
county tickets in the State they are
without Offices they could have held.
The decided decrease in the Demo-
cratic vote in Texas Is assigned to
various reasons. The Democrats say II
was because the voters took the atti-
tude that Cox and Neff would be elected
whether or not and failed to turn out.
But the Republicans. who have thor
oughly canvassed the situation. de-
clared the decided opposition to the
League of Nations and the action Of
the Texas delegation at San Franscico
caused many of the voters to lose in
terest and even respect for the party
and they remained away from the polls.
In instances where the voters. former
Democrats. wished to exercise their
franchise privilege they voted the Re-
publican ticket. irrespective Of the
pledge In the primary elections which ia
supposed to bind the voter to support
the nominee. Because of this party
pledge and the idea that they were sup
posed to be bound by 1t the Democrats
carried the State. Republican leaders
say, and there are some Democrats who
are inclined to look at the results In
the same light.
Adding the 100000 voters who re-
malned away from the polls because OF
their dislike for the League of Nations
and machine politics, the Harding Gull
bertson ticket would have won easily In
Texas
Another thing which cut the Repub bill
can chances In the State was the two
factions which had candidates in the
field. That was for State officers only.
