C|TyPAyS TRIBUTE
TO HEROES OF SEA
Address by Secretary Wilbur
Feature of Navy Day
Program Here.

The dependence of the United States
Navy and the American merchant
marine upon each other was empha
sized today by Secretary Wilbur OF
the Navy in an address delivered at
ceremonies on the east side of the
Navy Building in observance of Navy
day.
Flanked by a company of Marines

scores Of naval officers on duty in
Washington. all in the goldlaced. col
orful uniforms of their different ranks
the setting for the occasion was pic;
turesque.
The ceremony was presided over by
Walter Bruce Howe, chairman OF the
National Navy day committee, and
vice president of the Navy League.
The Marine Band gave a half-hour
concert prior to the start of the formal
ceremonies, and when the Secretary
Of the Navy appeared he was given
the honor prescribed for his position

After describing the difficulty in at
tempting to awaken interest in the
Navy in the middle States, Secretary
Wilbur pointed out that a Navy was
necessary for the protection OF mer
chant marine to carry the products
of the inland States to foreign shores
mot only in peace times should we
protect our commerce by the malnte'
nance Of a merchant marine of sufti
cient magnitude to dictate the freight
to be imposed upon our merchandise
in the event of unfavorable rates,
said Mr.. Wilbur, but also in the
event Of war involving a nation hav'
ing the cargo-carrying ships, to take
care of our commerce during such
war.
THE diversion of British shipping
to the needs Of the home government
brought about by the war situation
and the submarine destruction OF
these vessels seriously threatened
American commerce and illustrated tc
us the danger Of placing too much de
pendence upon foreign bottoms for the
carrying Of our overseas commerce.
said the Secretary. To-day it is our
purpose to emhasize to the people OF
the United States the Importance of a
merchant marine.
THE obvious relationship Of that
merchant marine to national defense

peared.
The News Dispatch says that the
names of those against whom lndlct-
ments will be sought have not been
disclosed. but adds that Federal
agents have been investigating some
Federal employees.
1T is understood" says the story,
that secret service men who nave

said to know the names Of the per-
sons alleged to have withdrawn the
whisky. 1t Is understood that some
Federal employees have been investi-
gated.

time the rum ship was brought into
port were later supplemented by other
agents, including intelligence officers
of the Government and Treasury De-
