Personal Differences Bane of
Navy, He Says-To Probe
Lack of Supplies.

Secretary Daniels said this morning
that he did mot care at this time to
discuss any questions relating to the
actions of the rescued aviators or
dealing in any way with responsibility
for their expedition. Asked why the
balloon was permitted to leave the
Rookaway station with totally made
quAte proviFions and by whose orders
the ascensidn vas made. he replied:
II do not want to say anything
about thesei matters at present. Capt.

service, is in communicate ton with Of
ficers in charge at the Rockaway sta
ton, and everything will be inquired

tary, that it has seemed that. after
doing thet work that challenged the
admiration of the world in a number
of historic: incidents the glory of it
has been Himmed and marred by per-
sonal differences. sometimes jealousies
and sometimes sore feeling. The slori-
Gus record Of the Navy in the Spanish
AmericaJ war lost, in measure, the
glow Of rs achievement by the courts
of inquiry and differences which fol-
lowed it. and even in the late world
war. where the Navy won world re-
nown. it. was not free from this un-
fortunate public exhibition of differ
ences.
And now in this case. where these
young men have endured great hard
ships and set new standards. it is to
be deplorcd that there should have
been any personal conflict or alterca-
tion."

Secretary Daniels. on receiving word
of the safe return to Mattice of the bal
loonists, addressed to them the follow
ing message:
"Warnest congratulations News
of your safety received with immense
relief. The Navy is proud of its in
