ONE CHAPTER IN
HISTORY OF WAR
YACHT OMITTED
Millionaire Sues u, S. for
Damages to 'Ayenger of
LuSitania'
BY Times Washington Bureau

10y llQeS dSRlnStOn bureau
WASHINGTON, July 5.-Rldlng
lazily at anchor in the Potomac
along the far-famed Speedway" a
trim white yacht has attracted un-
usual attention.
Transients and local motorists
stop by the hundreds each day to
admire the craft. the "Venetia,' and
to inquire why two large silver stars
decorate her brown stack.
Sailors explain that the yacht be-
longs TO John d. Spreckels, Califor-
MIA sugar king. and that il is valued
at more than 1000, 600.
The stars. they proudly state, in
dictate achievements Of the craft
during the World War. when Uncle
sam used her for a submarine
chaser.
one star is for sinking the sub
marine which had launched the tor
pedo destroying the Lusitania. The
second is for sinking another sub
marine.
Not i'm Books
~Spreckols has published for pri-
waite distribution a 30o-page book en-
titled "Venetia. Avenger Of the Lusi-
tania." In which the yachts war rec
ord is proudly related.
But neither the book nor the sail
ors tell the complete story.
The two silver stars are likely TO
cost the taxpayers than 100000
before the final chapter Of the war
history is written.
IN the first place, Spreckles didn't
volunteer the use OF the craft
President Wilson conscripted it. The
Government agreed to pay Spreckels
50. 900 a mouth charter money.
In April 1919. the Government re-
turned the boat to Sprecke's.
Suit Filled
But the California millionaire de
cided that his craft had been pretty
badly damaged.
a Navy board Of review approved
& sum Of SIG 1871 to put the croft in
hrst-class shape.
This. Spreckels declared was far
too little. ana filed suit in ,he Court
Of Claims to collect $147.405 damages.
This represented the difference be
tween the S204.653 which he claimed
would be necessary to put the craft
in condition again. and $57.24S which
he accepted as part payment.
This suit probably will be reached
in the fall.
II represents one chapter II the
history Of the Venetia about which
few people hear.

NAVAL OFFICIALS
FEAR BLAST MAY

Disaster on Mississippi May
Shatter Morale of u, S,
Sailors,

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Naval
authorities are deeply concerned lest
the explosion on the battleship Mis-
sissippi may have a serious effect
on the morale Of the sailors.
They fear it may lead to a recur-
renee of the wave of desertion SINH
lar to that which followed the wreck
ing of seven d~estroyers and loss of
twenty-three lives off Point Honda.
Cal, on Sept. s. 1928.
In the three months following
that disaster 2,426 %sailorss deserted,
which was just twice as many as in
the corresponding months in 1922,
when 1916 sailors took French
leave
So serious did the situation be
come. Secretary of Navy DENLY had
to repeatedly warn officers to bolster
up the morale.
DENLY Warns Officers
1.-The loss to the service through
desertion with its d-emoralizing ef-
feet is of vital concern to every Off
Ger and the Secretary directs that
every effort be made to correct the
present unsatisfactory condition,
DENLY ordered on Dec. 10, 1928.
Out of d total Of 5,oS1 d@eserters it
was ascertained that 45 per cent had
served less than six months and
that Ga per cent had served less than
a year.
This lead u an immediate tighten
ing UP Of recruiting orders. Effective
in January this year. a thorough in
vesugation was made as to the
characters. habits, heredity and
mentality Of every applicant.
The new orders, eliminating a
large number Of uudesirables, re-
duced desertion more than 80 per
cent. During February. March and
April Of this year, but 1851 sailors
deserted.
Unfair Treatment Charged
Questioning Of 22l deserters re.
Gently revealed that 1o5 had de
serted because they thought they
were being treated unfairly or had
had Trouble with officers.
F~orty-six more gave poor working
conditions as their reason for leav-
irg; thirty-nine assigned lack Of
pay; sixteen stated they We're home
sick. seven assigned -seasic6ness and
eight gave drunkenness as their
reasons for leaving.
Recently Captain r. II. Leigh
testified before the House A%ppropria.
lions Comriittee that much Of the
desert.on is caused by the poor i'm
Iressions which many recruits first
formed on joining the navy.

be so honored.
But at the same time he is said
to have expressed a wish that when
his time came he would be buried
simply as q private citizen, mourne6
by his friends. A veteran of the
war perhaps, but still a private
citizen, no different from the thou
