also was In control Of the navy yards

Josephus Daniels, trusted him with the
whole work Of the department on many
occasions. The training thus received,
OF course, was invaluable.
Devised Submarine Chaser.
When Armageddon finally broke. 1t
was MIR. Roosevelt who was assigned to
do something" about submarines. The
German undersea campaign was proving
effective. The British were worried.
Admiral Sims wrote home from London,
i had never imagined anything so ter
rible." Mr.. Roosevelt's answer was:
submarine chasers, and that, as it de-
veloped, was exactly what was wanted.
For months he prepared. Then, in
February, 1917, 1t was plain that the
United States was about to join the
Allies. By that date Mr.. Roosevelt
had collected data on more than $4,000
industrial plants, had contracts for q
years supplies, and had placed orders
for guns, ammunition and other equip
ment destined to be Sorely needed.
He turned the Navy yards into busy
manufacturing plants, saving the coun-
try millions of dollars. He broke the
organized system by which steel manu-
facturers dictated prices. He suggested
the first War Labor Board and spon-
sored the North Sea mine blockade.
When public confidence in submarines
was shaken, he risked. his own life to
show that they were reliable. He
crossed to London to confer with King
George and went into Belgium to talk
with King Albert. He organized new
naval bases, Superintended the con-
struction Of new light cruisers, provided
for the national use of private yachts
stimulated production, adjusted labor
disputes, advised with President Wilson
constantly, and did his part to educate
the population of the country with re-
gard to the war and its problems.
Seven Years on Job.
For seven years he remained on duty
1t was not until August z, 1920, that
he resigned to campaign for the vice
presidency as the running mate of
James NJ Cox Of Ohio. No other Chief
Executive can be said to have had SO
thorough training in Navy matters
Now, as President, he has approved
the expenditure of S238, 100000 on naval
construction to bring the fleet up to
1922 treaty standards. His policy is to
make the United States second only to
Great Britain in naval strength, and 1t
is supposed to be his hope eventually
to create q Navy second to none"
Today. the 18th anniversary of Theo-
dore Roosevelt's birth, the Navy has in
his kinsman such q supporter as 1t
appreciates and understands.

NORFOLK, Va, october 27.-The
auxiliary schooner yacht Aurora, her
deck strewn with torn sails and broken
rigging, her engine room and much of
her hull feet under water and her
crew tired and bedraggled, was towed
into Hampton Roads yesterday by the
Coast Guard cutter Mendoza.
Malcolm McGregor. Hollywood actor,
and six other men composing the crew
of the vessel, told thrilling stories of the
vessels battle against northern gale
10 miles south of Currituck, N. c.
T. SimonSen, mate, was washed over
board after the yacht had been picked
up and was being toWed toward Norfolk
by the Mendoza, but managed to swing
on to a rope and was haulded back
aboard
The vessel left New York Monday for
Los Angeles. At 5 am. Wednesday
she ran into the gale.
Capt. G. GrinStad, the yachts skip
per, said:
We were using our canvas at the time
and the wind ripped our masts almost
clean. We tried to use our engines. but
they had stalled and we we're left help
less. About 10 pm. Wednesday the
Mendoza came up and threw us a line"
Mate Simonsen said the storm came
up very suddenly and it blew a full gale
for several hours
Seas broke over us and water poured
In through the seams" he said. There
was 8 feet of water in the vessels hold
and we thought we would go down."
The Aurora was formerly owned by
William Thaw, brother of Harry K
Thaw, but was sold recently to William
Hartness and was purchased from him
by Mrs. Lewis Stone. wife of the actor.
McGregor was sent to New York to su-
perintend the taking Of the craft to the
West Coast He said the experience was
new one for him.

Aflame with patriotic ardor, he be-

than any quality called out merely in

This country" he had written to
Senator Lodge. needs a war" He
pleaded for a strong Navy, mot merely

respond. However" Roosevelt said, "in

and to the general good tone of the

Corps Became Famous.
The war came, and Roosevelt de-
manded chance to take part in the
actual fighting His Rough Riders be-
came famous. Secretary Long confided
to his diary: Roosevelt was right. His
going into the Army led straight to the
presidency" And from the White
House he developed the Navy through
the whole period of his administration.
Even such relatively small matters as
craftsmanship had his attention. He
made the fleet the most efficient fight
ing machine the United States ever had
possessed. and then shrewdly sent 1t
around the world to demonstrate to
other nations that I'VE are ready at
sea-"
But by the time that Franklin Delano
Roosevelt, Theodore's fifth cousin, was
appointed Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, another periodic decline had
taken place and again the naval eStab-
liShment required an active friend. The
young New York lawyer who collected
naval prints and sailed a yacht in vaca-
tion time proved to be an ideal choice.
He took Office March II, 1918. Theo-

sober truth it was headed straight for
the crisis Of late June and early July,

Wilson and his cabinet first began to

cataclysm remains unknown. But the

n YAVY DAY naturally suggests a
N review Of the service rendered

l defense by the two Presidents
Roosevelt.
A Navy instinct, particular interest
in the Navy. appears to run In the
Roosevelt family. Both the Chlef Ex-
ecutives who have been members OF the
clan have been lovers of the sea; both
have served in the Navy Department OF
the Government; both have been ardent
proponents of naval preparedness, and
both have had opportunities to trans
late their ideals for fighting fleet into
terms of practical policy.
Theodore Roosevelt was only callow
freshman at Harvard when he Under
took his now widely popular History OF
the Naval War Of 1872" The subject
attracted him. he explained. because all
1ict were Enthusiastically, prejudiced
and unfair to the public enemy" The
book was published in 1882, its authors

Admiral William S. Sims declares. it
made history in more senses than One.'
Led to Appointment.
Certainly one of the volumes effects
was that of preparing its sponsor 1or
appointment as Assistant Secretary OF
the Navy in the Spring of 1897. He
owed the place he later said, to the
efforts of Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
of Massachusetts,, but he also admitted
that: I have always taken the interest
in the Navy which every good American
ought to take" In any case, he was
abundantly qualified for the post and he
made the best possible use Of its op-
portunities.
War with Spain. he was convinced,
was inevitable. and while he did not
fear it, he was greatly concerned about
the unreadiness Of the Nation for any
such struggle. His chief, Secretary
John D. Long, an older man and less
forceful personality, was not so per-
turbed. but he did not hamper his young
assistant. They worked together ami
cably as we'll as tirelessly
And their anxieties were justified by
the destruction of the battleship Maine
in Havana harbor, February Is, 1898.
About q week later Mr.. Long took the
afternoon off. and in his absence Roose-
welt was Acting Secretary. The chance
was not to be missed. Longs diary re-
cords that "the very devil'' took pos
session of his substitute. Il find" he
wrote, that Roosevelt. in his precipi

TICKET CUTS
 SCARE MAJORS

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, Feb. IT. Major League baseball clubs may pass up California as a spring training ground, due to the Pa cific Coast Leagues decision to reduce admission prices, league di- rectors said here.
 The income from exhibition games at 25 and 40 cents a head would not warrant the majors travelling to the Pacific Coast.
 The new scale of prices will not go into effect for exhibition games this year, however, because of previous agreements with the ma- jors.
 Revenue from exhibition games fell off last year, with the result that relatively few games have been scheduled for 1883 between the Seals and Missions, and the White Sox, Pirates and Cubs.
 The Giants will not play any games here.

ROADMEN CLING TO LEADERSHIP
 IN CAGE FIGHT
Beat Bremen in Hot Tilt -Grocers in Second
 Place, Beat Moose

Defeating the Juneau Bremen, 36 to 33 after 40 minutes of the most exciting play of the season, the B. P. R. outfit retained it's lead in the Channel Basketball League last night, and George Brothers grabbed an undisputed hold on second place by trimming the Moose, Al to 32.
 The B. P R.-Fireman battle was a thriller and the outcome was in doubt up to the last minute. The Roadmen grabbed a first-quarter lead of 3 points but saw it wiped out at the halftime when the Smoke Easters had a similar mar gin. The last two stanzas were hectic.
 Mover Is Star
 Mover starred for the winners on both the offense and defense, T. was his speed relaying in the final quarter that put his team cut in the lead and kept it there He caged five from scrimmage in the second half, and most of them

were made in the fourth period.
 Fouls were frequent, largely due to the speed of the play that grew rather rough at times. Hayes and Garn, for the Bremen went out on four personals each, and Metz gar and Blake played almost the entire last half with three hang ing over them. The Bremen fin- isled the game with Frank Metz gar, youthful parochial school player, subbing at guard. Osborne, B P. R. guard, was fouled out in the final period.
 Mover was hlgn scorer for the game with 12 points, five fields and two on free throws. Smith and Holman tied for second with 10 each.
 George Brothers led the Moose the entire distance and were nev- CT in danger. They finished the game under wraps. Paul Brown, Moose center, was still handicapped by an injured ankle and was un- der par. which accounted partly for the Moses failure to stop the Grocers.
 The latter is the only quint in the league to have chance to tie the B, P. R, for first place in the current half. They have one game left, against the local Fire men. If they win it, they will be tied with the Roadmen with four games won and one lost, making playoff necessary to decide the final winner. The Grocers and Bremen are due to scrap it out next Thursday evening at the High School gym

PENN LOOKS POWERFUL

The Eastern outfits do not want to regain such ancient trophies as these by default They prefer to win them, if possible, on their merits. In another year or two, Pennsylvania may burst forth with title winning track team. At least Lawson Robertson, favored by such talent as Bill Carr and Gene Venzke, is going about his job these days in quite hopeful frame of mind.
 Having overthrown the great Eastman in individual competition, contrary to all laws of Pacific coast gravity and propriety why not attempt the burlier task of overthrowing Southern California; s ubiquitous Trojans?
 It is to be hoped, meanwhile, that the sad state of fiscal affairs at Stanford will not make it im- possible for Big Ben Eastman, himself, to be sent east, in his senior year, for a final whirl at the I. c. A. A. A. A. games and if possible a return race with the great Bill Carr.

Heavy Highway Program
 Planned by Mississippi

JACKSON, Miss, Feb. 7.-Missis- sippi's State Highway Department faces 1883 with a schedule of work that includes completion of a heavy construction program = $4,320,0o0 obtained from Federal sources and the knowledge that $10,000,- 900 program can be launched if the State sells $5,OO0,O00 in bonds all ready authorized.
 The bulk of the work now under way will be completed the first six months of this year. Department plans are so advanced that sale of the bond issue, which would be matched by $5,O0o000 of Federal aid, would see another program launched without delay.

SPORT SLAMS \AAM e1lOl

Along with the movement to give horse-racing back to the hors- es, and college sports back to the boys this spring, it also appears business conditions are about to give those classic Eastern inter- collegiate title events (hitherto the prey of the Vests sun-kissed lads) back to the East.
 Not even the East wants the Poughkeepsie Regatta, however, for 1883, but doubt very much if the Pacific Coast talent will pass up altogether the chance to collect scme additional athletic honors, even at the heavy price of a few transcontinental round trip rail- road tickets.
 Even with Stanford and Califor- mia withdrawn from the L c. A. A. A. A. track and field champion ship team seems certain to be represented in the big meet at Harvard Stadium, May 26-27.
 The Trojans, even though they TO longer have Frank Mycoff and Bill Graber of their 1930-31-32 title forces, probably could send on a half dozen lads capable of scoring enough points to make it four starlight for U. s. c.
 Among the few to have a big year in 1892, financially as well as artistically, Southern California should be able to finance such an expedition without undue strain on the treasury. It would be worth the Trojans, making mon etary struggle, anyway, for the sake of the prestige involved. And the Fasteners would be glad to have them again, even if it meant losing the chance to put the clas- sic I. c. A. A. A. A. cup back on an eastern shelf after a lapse of nine years.

DESERVES A CHANGE

It would be a crowning show for the blond Californian, on top of series of setbacks in his big gest races, to be kept at home this year. Though the greatest runner of his times, combining the 400-800 meter range, Eastman has twice been beaten by world record performances in the I. c. A. A. A. A. quarter, first by Vic Williams at Philadelphia, and then by Bill Carr at Berkeley.
 His subsequent attempts to gain national championship or Olympic medals last summer were, as ev- eryone knows, frustrated in con- vincing style by Carr over the 400 meter route, under circumstance which deprived Eastman of a good chance to clean up at his best distance. 800 meters.
