W, Wells, painter and car penter of Salem I am opposed to changing the clocks one hour ahead. I .have tried it out and have found it very unsatisfactory, If anyone wants to work one hour later in the evening I am Sure no one will object. And. if anyone wants to get up at 4 o'clock, I don't see why it should be neces sary to disturb Brown or Smith Herbert Haid, Court apart ments With regard to setting the clocks ahead I wish to go. on record against.it.

Passage of the house appropria-, tions committee's naval bill will "be a national disaster" and fur nish the country with a "lame duck" Assistant Secretary Roose velt of the navy department de clared tonight, speaking before the national press club. "Under this 'lame duck' navy," he added, "we will be a second rate country As such we will have but little, influence In the world for peace or justice. Breaks Rat io, He Says , "The very'j' people .who smugly announce. the loftiness of our ideals when ; they advocate such a reduction, would by one stroke render Ideals Ineffectual." Speaking as head of the naval experts who ! arranged the terms of the "5-5-3" ratio for limitation of sea power, Mr. Roosevelt said the committee bill "relegates us to a minor power among the great nations." "It breaks the naval ratio," he continued. Under the treaty, our relation ship with England and Japan is 5-5-3. The jEnfglish navy this year will have some 104,000 men; the Japanese jwlll have 8,25Q. We, under the house bill, will have only 67,000. Men Are Necessary "This bill therefore has estab lished a naval ratio ot 2-5-3, with the United States on the small end. The guns are of no account unless we have the men behind them. The men behind the guns are the navy. "The minimum number of men necessary to man our navy at pres ent with a reasonable degree of efficiency is 96,000. If, indeed, we had all those we need for every contingency, we should re quire approximately 120,000. Treaty Terms Insisted Upon "We are allowed 18 battleships by treaty agreement. With the personnel allowed us In this bill we can keep but 13 of these bat tleships in full commission. Five will have to be put in commission with only 200 men on board." Mr. Roosevelt said "hundreds ot thousands of tons," in auxili ary craft must go out ot commls sion under the present bill. "Next year," he added, "Great Britain will keep ready tor active service 1,370,850 tons to combat ant vessels;' Japan will maintain ready for active service approx imately 69,000 tons ot combatant craft. Reserve Destroyed "The house bill," he continued. largely destroys our naval re serve," and he pointed out that it would prevent the manning of Eagle boats , and submarine chas ers in which the citizen soldiers must receive much of their peace time training. "ii. taey are to have 'a show for their white alley'," he added. we must given them an oppor tunity for training. We cannot do this under the present bill.'
