The principal fault of the administration naval pro gram was designated by Republican ex Secrctary of the Navy Georgo Von L. Meyer today before the National Secur ity Congress as an absence of brain. President Charles Curtis of tho Inter national Curtis Marine Turbine com pany, insisted that more ships are need ed, and he said it is cheaper to build them in private yards, than in govern ment yards, an apparent saving, due to faulty government bookkeeping, not withstanding. President P. Ross, of the National Marino league, pleaded for an adequate American merchant marine as a second line defense. "It is a rare exception," said Meyer, "for an American warship to havo a full complement. At present wo arc 35,000 men short. "The torpedo boat destroyers of tho Atlantic service are so c'ort that only 20 of them remain in active service, while the battleship fleet this winter will consist of only 15 vessels instead of the former number of 21. Our subma rines are unfit lor. service. As for a war basis, we are short 2,000 officers even after employing the retired list. "The fundamental defect is that there is no competent military organiza tion, charged with preparation of the fleets for war. " SOUTH BOTTOM (Capital Journal Spccinl Service.)

It is safe to say that neirly one third of tho vines of tho total loganberry acreage arc still on the ground. Theso have been well protested by the snow and ate safe.
