in an address today to the graduating
class of the Naval War College. At
no time in the nations history, he
added. had there been greater need

tinued I'VE think in terms of hope
Tor continued peace; we strive
through diplomacy. backed by power
to keep that desired peace, but We
must not be blind to facts.
h., Future War Certain.
"we know now beyond peradven-
ture that war between great powers
or groups of powers will always in
volve many other nations and we can
not say with certainty that such a
need be no demand for excessive
armament. There will be none for a
great increase of our present estab-
lishment made by the Navy DEPART
ment at the coming session OF Con-
gress. We shall ask for additional
cruisers, allowed under the treaty of
the Limitation of armament. We shall
ask for additional light draft gun
boats. the vital need of which is being
demonstrated every day, and we shall
ask for certain submarines and air.

There will be nothing extravagant
in our recommendations to Congress.
and we hope to be able to keep the
proposed appropriations approx
mately within the limits reached last
year. While, therefore. we do not
anticipate the need of n great build

ness for effective use"

The Secretary referred to such con-
troversies between branches of the
service as that between advocates of

Secretary DENLY. said:

sympathy and understanding. With
these qualities and their application
by officers and petty officers. from the
captain down, many a man Is saved
from A. w. o. L. and desertion; many
a mans life is changed from gloom to

lost.

While it was not officially an
nounced what specific additions had
been made to the prohibition forces
on land and coast guard boats oper-
ating in Chesapeake bay, it was
indicated that the government was on
the Potomac in some kind of a fleet
When asked definitely whether fed
eral forces had been put on the
waters around Washington prohibit
ton officials evaded the question, and
the Inference was readily drawn that
not only have the land forces of the
prohibition outfit been greatly en-
1argcd, but that incognito there may
be several small government vessels
in the Potomac. The water front II
all suspicious spots is under close
surveillance.
No Navy Boats Used.
The possibility of using naval ves-
, sells tied up at the navy yard was
said to be out Of the question, as the
matter of using naval vessels for
prohibition enforcement has been
submitted by President Harding TO
the Department of Justice, where it
now rests.
The capture Of BurwelI. alias
Baker. at Norfolk is considered by
prohibition officials here as a big
blow at the rum fleet. While little
is said concerning the suspected
ramifications of the alleged organi-
zation back of the fleet. officials were
believed to feel that they had caught
