Navy Won't Be Scrapped,
Daniels Tells Middies
Secretary on Last Official Visit
to Academy Urges Need Of
Great Sea Force

ANNAPOLIS, Md, Jan. 80. - There
will be no scrapping of the navy, at
least in the near future, Secretary Of
the Navy Daniels told the regiment of
midshipmen in an address tonight be-
fore the Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation at the Naval Academy
Secretary Daniels urged the young
future officers not to be alarmed at
tales that battleships soon would be
supplanted by air-fghting craft.
There is greater need now than
ever before for big navy and a
strong navy, both on, over and under
the sea-" Mr.. Daniels said. "The navy
is to the nation what the Gulf stream
is to the ocean. True, they are sepa-
rate and distinct bodies, but each is a
part Of the great whole"
The visit of Secretary Daniels to-
day marked his last to the academy,
for in little more than four weeks
he will retire with the Wilson Cabinet,
and he grew reminiscent of the eight
years he has served as head Of the
navy.
IL have made number of trips
here" he said, "but this will be my
last. will be glad to retire from
public life and get back to the editorial
chair and brush up in newspaper writ
ing. There is no doubt that I will
have much to write about"

Alfano and seven other members of
the Camorra were found guilty in july
1912, of having played the chief part
IN the murder of the Cuocolos, largely
as a result of the testimony given by
Abbatemaggio, who had belonged to the
Camorra, but turned states evidence
The eight Camorrists were sen.enced
to thirty years imprisonment and to
ten years of police surveillance, while
the others convicted of having taken
part in the crime were sentenced to
terms in Jail ranging from ten to three
years.
