Plans Large Navy for U. S.
Washington, Oct. 13—Secretary Dan
iels is considering a five-year naval
program, fat the end of which time
from 15 to 20 dreadnaughts and battle
cruisers, nearly 100 submarines, about
70 destroyers and several scout cruis
ers and a proportionate number of aux
iliaries would be added to the present
fleet.
With the 70 submarines already built
and buildiag, the total number of un
dersea craft would total about 170 in
five years. The entire program for
first year, which would include provi
sion for at least 8000 additional men
for the ships would, it is estimated,
cost approximately 1248,000,000, or
about $10o 000,000 increase over last
year.
The contemplated program probably
will be laid before President Wilson
within a few days by Secretary Dan
iels. They are agreed that it will be
necessary to practically double the
present fleet in the next five years in
order to be adequately prepared for de
fense.

Ralph Saekville left London to the
plaudits of crowds of people who were
viewing bis regiment march to the sta
tion to be entrained for the coast and
thence to Belgium. In six months lie
returned under very different circum
stances. There were no crowds to
gleet him. Instead of the handker
chiefs waving from the windows and
the sounds of martial music many of
the blinds were closed, and there was
only the rattle of tlie cab in which be

Slickville hud lost a foot and ankle
and was discliarged from the ranks.
He had been among the first to re

service of a bank In which be was
employed, to Join the colors, Ills posi-
tion in the bank was still open to him.
but it required him to stand all day
paying checks, and lie was unable to
till it. I ndeed. there were few posi-
lions he could till. Tlie only occupa-
lion that occurred to him as suited to
his altered condition was that of chauf
feur. He wus a gentleman without
means mid shrunk from doing menial
work, but it was the best he could do.
and he hobbled to u garage and se

One day lie was directed to go to a
hotel and call for Miss Amelia Duncan,
an American young lady traveling with
her Invalid mother, who was confined
to her room under her daughter's care,
assisted by a nurse. The daughter
