The personnel was on a peace basis and was somewhat inadequate the ad miral said, but officers and men were confident and well trained and target practice In southern waters had shown gratifying results. No written plan of policy for th? participation for the fleet In the war was given him when the United Stales joined the allies, Rear Admiral Mayo testified, but In conversations with Ad mlral Benson, chief of naval operations and other department officials he was Informed that the missions of his com mand were to prepare for Instant serV' Ice; to protect the coasts of the United States and train naval personnel, Disposal ot the ships of the Atlan tic fleet along the coast of Central America In 1913 and 1914 to protect American Interests there bad "very detrimental effect" on Its effi ciency, Admiral Mayo said. The out break of war In Kurope called atten tion to the "unsatisfactory condition" of his command, he said, and he im mediately began to whip his forc?s Into shape. The result was reflected, he addod, In the splendid condition of the fleet In the spring of 1917. On February 3, 1917, Admiral Ma yo received Instructions to tnke ev ery precaution for .the scfeguardlrg of the fleet In view of the strained relations with Germany.

Socialist Party Branded Organization of Traitors By New York Assembly Albany, N. Y., Mar. 80. Branding the socialist party as "an organization composed exclusively of perpetual traitors," a ma jority of the judiciary committee of the New York state assembly in a report transmitted to the lower house of the legislature today, recommended the expulsion of the five socialist assemblymen. August Claessens, Charles olomon, Louis Waldman, Samuel Orr and Samuel A. DeWitt. Minority reports were submitted by members of the committee who dis sented from the findings ot the ma jority. Action on the reports will be made a special order of business In the as sembly tomorrow. Expulsion Opposed While no concerted action has been taken by those who are opposed to the expulsion of the socialists. Major ity Leader Simon L. Adler, of Monroe and Assemblyman Theodore " Roose velt of Nassau, will Bpeak and vote against that program. "I cannot approve of the expulsion ot the entire representation ot a party from the legislature," Colonel Roose velt said today. "Whatever I may do as an individual and not as a part of any movement agreed upon with others." Mr. Adler, who on the first day of the session introduced the resolution demanding the suspension of the so cialists, said his position was virtual ly the same as that of Colonel Roose velt. "I am not a party to any concerted action," he added. Seven of the 13 members ot the com mlttce signed the majority report Evidence llevlewod Enactment of a law to prevent any organisation which admits aliens to its membership from occupying the position ot a political party on the of ficial ballot of the state Is advocated. The report reviews evidence heard during the recent 24 days trial, pur porting to show that the socialist party opposed prosecution of the war, opposed all legislation for industrial and military conscription pledged Its members to work for the repeal of the consciiftion law, advised resistance to conscription of life and labor and urged the repudiation of war debts. "The socialist purty of America," says the report, "is not a loyal Amer ican organisation or political party, disgraced occasionally by the traitor ous act or declaration ot a member but Is a disloyal organization composed ex clusively of perpetual traitors. There fore, the act of a member of that party In subscribing to the constitu tional onth of office to support the constitution of the I'nited Btatea and the constitution of the state 01 ?rew York should be utterly disregarded as patently shnm and a mere cloak for treachery." Two republicans, William Pcllett, of New York, and Theodore Btltt, of Brooklyn, Blgned a report expressing the Belief that tho socialists were en titled to retain their seats. They stute that no evidence was produced to show that the attitude of the socialists dur ing the war was not other than nega tive, withholding aid and comfort to their government, rather than a post tlve tone of giving aid and comfort to the nation's enemies. Two democratic members of the cm mlttee, Maurice Bloch and William 8. Evans of New York, hold that the members of the assembly cannot un seat the five socialists without violat ing their own oath of office. Kvans contends that under the con. stltiitlon of the state the assembly "Is forbidden from Imposing upon any member any test of loyalty." "Radical minorities,'; sys Evan., "must nut be driven from the legisla ture. It Is better to have them In the legislature than In secret meetings In cellars." . "Liberty Involves the right to think wrong," says Assemblymun Bloch In his report. $60,000,000 Urged For Army Aviation Washington, March 30.
