clared that never beforo in its his

in his honor after Jhe launching of
the new supcrdrendnnttght Pennsyl
vania. "There never wns n time' said
Secretary Daniels, "when tho navy
wns so powerful, so ready, so effic
ient as now. Nor has there been a
year when the fleet has given so much
timo to target practice, maneuvers,
wnr games and practices as the pres
ent year. Skill, modern adaption,
new tactics, are being carried out day
nnd night. The motto of tho navy of
lodny is "training; training and moro
training; practice nnd more practice,
nothing clc keeps ships and men fit.
Today they nre fit nnd ready."

of tho value of submarine;; when it

it never would ho called upon
