DANIELS BOUND BY
DETAILS, SAYS F1SKE
Secretary Unable- to Take
Broad View, Is Charge.
WAR PLANS ARE SCORED
Admiral Tells of His Opposition
to Plan for Kducation of Men
and to Democratize 'Navy.
WASHINGTON. March 51. The re
lation of the "mental and tempera
mental characteristics" of Secretary
Daniels to the alleged unpreparedness
of the navy for war in 1917 was dis
cussed today before the senate naval
ir.vesctigating committee by Rear- j
Admiral Bradley A. Fiske. retired,
formerly Mr. Daniels' chief adviser in
the department as aide for operations.
The secretary's characteristics and
"previous training," Admiral Fiske
said, prevented him from taking "a
broad and profound view" of the
navy's needs.
Up to 1917, the officer declared. Mr.
Daniels seemed convinced that there
would never be another war.
The witness described at some
length his differences with the secre
tary. While their personal relations
had been cordial, he said, he had
found he could not work with Mr.
Daniels and resigned as aide for
operations in 1916.
Mr. Daniels. Admiral Fiske said,
paid too much attention to details and
did not sufficiently interest himself
in broad questions of plans and poli
cies. Admiral Against Education.
Secretary Daniels was "deeply and
sincerely" ltnerested in the welfare
of the men. Admiral Fiske said, add
ing that he opposed Mr. Daniels' plan
for the education of enlisted men be
cause he thought the system would
take too much time from the military
training of the crews.
Naval war plans in 1910 and 1911
when he was a member of the general
board did not contain 1 per cent of
what they should rave embodied. Ad
miral Fiske testified, and in 1914 the
navy was "wholly unprepared for
war." '
"The navy today could not carry
out maneuvers such as the German
fleet executed in 1913," he said, "prin
cipally because of lack of battle cruis
ers and aerial forces."
Mr. Daniels, he declared, refused to
approve plans for the extension of
the navy's aerial forces, the obtaining
of sufficient personnel and proper
formulation of war plans prior to
1917.
SnKestlun Are Aked.
Rear-Admiral Mayo was cross-examined
briefly on his direct state
ment of yesterday. Chairman Hale
requested him to prepare a further
statement on his remarks with regard
to the need of a well-defined foreign
policy for proper preparedness of the
navy for war. He was also asked to
prepare suggestions whereby mistakes
of the recent war might be avoided
in the future.
Naval officers felt that Mr. Daniels
was carrying his efforts to "democ
ratize the navy" to an extreme incon
sistent with discipline. Admiral Fiske
said, and they thought that undue
importance was attached to the com
fort of enlisted men. .
I'KICTIOX IX STAl'T TOLD
Officers Say Each One "Wanted to
Run Whole Show at Brest.
WASHINGTON, March 31. Further
details of friction and factional feel
ing among members of Rear Admiral
William B. Fletcher's staff at Brest,
France, during the war, were dis
closed today to the naval court in
vestigating the admiral's removal by
V ice Admiral Sims.
Two former members of the staff,
Lieutenant Joseph A. Carey, flag sec
retary, and Commander F. M. Baldwin,
material officer, testified, the latter
insisting that an "impression" had
prevailed around Brest that Admiral
Fletcher had not made full use of his
staff. Baldwin said he had told the
admiral that in his own case h
hadn t enough to do" to fill his
time.
Lieutenant Carey added that each
officer seemed to want to "run the
whole show to suit his own ideas.'

Paid in Wages to Employes. !
OTTA W A, Ont., March 31. The
Canadian national railways operated
at a loss of $14,000,000 during the
fiscal year ending March 31, 1919,
according to the first annual budget
submitted to the house of commons
Tuesday by Dr. Reid, minister of rail
ways. The budget shows the loss divided
as follows:
Canadian Northern, $6,500,000, and
Inter-Colonial railway and Transcon
tinental, $7,500,000. In addition there
were fixed charges of $19,000,000 to
be met.
Out of every dollar earned by the
roads. Dr. Reid said, 78 cents went
in wages to the employes. Operating
expenses increased from 84 to vir
tually 108 millions. These advances
were due largely to increases in
wages under the McAdoo award, he
explained.
Construction during the present
year, the report said, will be limited
to the completion of branch lines in
the west. No more wark will be done
for the present on the Hudson Bay
railway. An increase of 25 per cent
based on last year s earnings and
favored by the board of management
would approximate $38,000,000, Dr.
Reid stated. Any such increase for
government roads also would have to
be granted the Canadian Pacific, he
said. He declined to decide whether
a general increase should ba granted
to show a surplus lor the government
lines, saying he would leave the ques
tion to the House and the people.
HE DARKENED HIS
GRAYHAIR
Tens How He Did It.
Mr. J. A. McCrea, a well-known
resident of San Francisco, who was
called Daddy and Grandpa on account
of his white hair, and who darkened
it with a home-made mixture, re
cently made the following statement-
"Anyone can prepare a simple mix
ture at home that will darken
hair, and make it soft and glossy. To
a half-pint of water add 1 ounce of
bay rum, a email dox or Barbo Com
pound and hi. ounce of glycerine.
These ingredients can be bought at
any drug store at very little cost.
Apply to the hair twice a week until
desired shade is obtained. It does
not color the scalp, is not sticky or
yt-ay and does not rub off. --Adv.

in America, was much disconcerted
by the vicar's counterstrokes.
Acording to statistics lust issued
by the United Kingdom Alliance, Brit
ain's premier dry organization, the
beer consumption in this country in
creased 70 per cent last year over
1918, the total barrelage being 21,
752,000, against 12,791,000 in 1918. The
increase in spirits was 43 per cent
more than in the previous year, and
In wine 70 per cent.
