HONESTY IS GOAL
 OF BOTH GROUPS
 DECLARES DAVIS
Democratic NGmine e
 Makes Two Speeches On Way Home

ABOARD THE BAR HARBOR EXPRESS EXECUTE FOR NEW YORK, July 30.-John W. Davis, dem ocratic presidential nominee made two brief addresses in Maine tonight while homeward bound from Seven Hundred Acre Island where he has had nearly two weeks of rest and recreation. The first was at Rockland and the second at Bath.
 Addressing several hundred persons from steps of the Knox county court house at Rockland, Mir. Davis touched upon the subject that is to be the key note of his acceptance address-honesty in government. He declared that dem Ocrats and republicans alike 'are seek ing an honest and upright and just gov- ernment of these United States" and added that each had different methods of obtaining it, but that both were working toEa seommon goal.
 At Bath, Mir. Davis had the first ex- perience of the campaign in having questions fired at him from the audi ence.
 What do you think of prohibition ?" asked a man in the crowd of thousand or more gathered in post office square
 I'm nOfsssiFe whether that's per- sonal question or political inquiry re- spOnded Mir. Davis with a chuckle.
 Beyond the brief reference at Rock land to honest government the candi- date steered away from politics.
 You will understand distinctly that at this moment am not a candidate for Office," he told his Bath audience. Il have heard rumors that a nomination has been made and am advised that in about two weeks official notice to that effect will reach my ears. Until that time am under strict injunction that am to make no political deliverance." !"

AWAIT HUGHES RETURN
Protest Expected To Bring Controversy
 To Head

WASHINGTON, July SO.-(By the Associated Press. )-Great Britain'S representation against the ship mod ernizatiop program of the American navy may bring to a head at least controversy that has stirred naval cir cleS almost continuously since the ad journment of the arms conference
 State department officials declined today sto comment on the London an- nouncement of the British move, or to indicate what the policy of this gov ernment would be. They gave the i'm precision that the question. was one of such importance that careful study of the whole subject would be neces- sary before the United States made its reply to London.
 Await Hughes Return
 In official quarters it was regarded as unlikely that any decision would be made before the return from Europe of Secretary Hughes.
 Mir. Hughes personally conducted the work of the American delegation at the Washington conference, upon whose findings the British representations are based.
 A ship mOderniZatiOn program. in cluding a change of elevation of the main batteries of the first line war ships, was recommended to Congress by President Harding in December, 1922. In accompanying memorandum, Secretary Denby declared the work pro- posed was of major and vital impOr- tance," in national defense, and it was pointed out by naval officers during consideration of the question in Con gress that many of the first line Brit ish fighting ships already had gun ranges comparable to those requested for the American navy.
 The appropriation asked for was granted, but. objections of an informal character came from British quarters, and in April of last year the navy de partment announced that the mOderni- zation program would be deferred for the time being. At the same time 1t was reiterated that navy officials did not regard the proposed alterations as violation of the Washington treaty and that the delay was due only to a belief that Congress, in apprOpriating $6,50O, 900 to carry out the gun eleva- tiOn project might have acted under a misapprehensiOn.
 So that all the facts might be deyel- oped, an intensive study of the whole subject was ordered last summer and as result Secretary Denby renewed in his annual report of December the recommendation for a gun elevation ap- propriatiOn, which, he declared, will not in any way contravene the spirit OF letter of the treaty." Accompany ing the secretary's report was a state ment by Captain F. H. SchOfield of the navy general board supporting that view

INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED
War Department Outlines Plans Fer
 Defense Day

War Department UUGltneS E18nS E0F
 Defense Day
 WASHINGTON, Jul, 3O-PIans for the observance of September F as De fense Day. a project which has become a subject of much public controversy, are laid down in detail in instructions sent by the war department to the chiefs of all its branches and to the commanding generals of all corps areas.
 The instructions say that the general plan for the day has two main Objec- tives, namely, patriotic demonstrations and a test mobilization" By way of preface, it is explained that in lieu of extensive field exercises which for eco homie reasons cannot be held during the present calendar year, the secretary of war has decided to initiate for con- tinentaI United States a mobilization demonstration which will serve as an occasion for asSemblanges and eere- monies involving public manifestations of loyalty and practical patriotism"
 The document, several thousand words in length, continues in part:
 ~It IS expected that the initial mobil- izatiOn plans will be in such a state BA A1CPACAHuEE A@r AOAs1S tAtdt Al VIII DC practicable on this occasion to subject the underlying principles thereof to analysis and tests Based, as they are, upon the experience of 1917 and 1918, the policy of decentralization is en- bodied wherever believed to be practica- ble. Local mobilization, a special fea- ture in the mobilization plans, will be emphasized and tried out by this test. This should eliminate much of the de- lay and confusion caused by hurried ex- pediency in the past
 The plans and the decentralized au- thOrity to be exercised by corps area commanders and state officials depend for their effectiveness upon the public realizing the methods of operation. Each person should know something of the agencies which guide the efforts of his community. Consequently, wherever there are military uni's of any charac- ter on September F, 1924, the proce- dure of mobilization will be demon strated as fully as practicable without extra expenditure of public funds.

 "It is the purpose of thu war de- partment to prescribe the general plan only, leaving to the commanding gen. erals of corps areas and the district of Washington, and to chiefs of branches in connection wiht activities under their control, the detailed plans for carrying into effect the general plan"
 The commanders were directed to take up the matter cOnfidentially with state and local authorities as to ap- pointment of civilian committees. The civilian committees would represent, state and local agencies which would be used in procurement under either a volunteer or selective service system" of the men necessary to fill up the ranks of all branches of the army.
