 With reference to the naval pro- gram,'' said Secretary Daniels, "there are just two courses, and only two open:
 To secure an International agreement with all, or practically all the nations, which will guarantee an end to competition in navy building. reduce the national burden and lead the movement to secure and buttress world peace
 2-To hold aloof from areement or association with other nations as to the size of armament This will require us to build a navy powerful enough to be able to protect our own Americans and American shipping. defend American policies in the dis tant possessions as well as at home, and by the presence of sea power to command the respect and fear of the world.
 There is the third alternative of being content with a small navy in a world of big navies, exposed to cer- tain destruction in case of war with a great power or powers"

DR. LYNCH GIVEN
 BAD HALF HOUR
eContinued from Page One

ssI have not yet read the articles referred to closely but shall do so and after that l may have some more to say to the press on this mat ter.
 At this time I desire, however, to caution the press covering this trial to be very careful in commenting upon, Or in quoting the comments of persons outside of this case, on the credibility of testimony given by wit nesses who have appeared here.
 It is presumed that the court re ferred to a purported interview with the m other of Mrs. Mott, which was printed in local paper and wired to censured a Bridgeport reporter for publishing condolences between coun- sel.
 The entire morning session was taken up with pr. Lynchs testimony and subsequent cross-examination. It was during this time that Judge Com | ley, by his persistent and adroit 1 handling of the witness. gave him a | decidedly uncomfortable half hour of | uestioning.
 The throngs battling for seats were | as large and as determined as ever. Passes were more than ever in de- l mand. Members of the press were | compelled to show their passes and it that the reason of this was that the l bars were up against some out-of- l town press folks.
 The defendant was as chipper as l lark. He came smiling into the court room escorted as usual by Deputies Fassanella and Pat O'Brien. The parents and the young wife Of | Wade were in their usual places, both the mother and the wife being much l refreshed by their weekend rest. 1 John E. Johnston and Deputy Sher- | if Mills Ton11inson still hold down a position in the sheriff's office. John ston is still the one boy who refuses | to show signs of any worry. l In the private office of the sheriff g quarters Mrs. .Ethed Huchins Nott sits all day long with a friend and her <, two children. Crowds in the street strain and gawk and when for a mo- | ment one of the children happens to | appear at the window there is a wild surge for a peep.
 | In the windows of the buildings in the rear of the court house sit men | and women all day long with field | glasses trained upon the court room. They take turns looking. | In the court room the mob is pack
 ed closer than ever and the women
 have moved up to another window in | which they have pre-enpted the win
 dow ledges as places of vantage.
 Lawyers and doctors connected with
 the case hang upon every question
 and answer, or ruling.
 The state valves a3 point, so does
 the defense, as they say, that time is
 precious.
 There are but three more court
 days of this week and the trial must be ended before the third day.
 The fate of the accused is getting
 terribly close.
 Wade sits and drinks in every word
 He is giving a wonderful exhibition of control.
 Will it break when the jury give: it's last word?
