Two more persons are on record

W. 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. It reminds me
of the Indian who cut a piece off
the top end of his blanket and
sewed it on the bottom end so it
would cover his feet, and in my
opinion has Just about as much
sense to It.

dares Assistant Secretary
MINOR POWERS AMONG
GREAT NATIONS FEAR
Official of Department De
clares Treaty Ratio Should
Be i Followed
WASHINGTON, April 10.
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.'

that It was true, that it - was
