THE WIXSTON-SALXM JOUKNJDB ADMIRAL DEWEY UPHOLDS THE ADMINISTRATION OF SECRETARY ' DANIELS; MAKES FINE RECORD BEING FIT "ALL 'ROUND" (By William T. Ellis) Sunday Morning. August 20. 1916 m (By (iiNirso Creel Fur two years ami more the t'nited Htntes Navy hits been tin- suliji-tt of discussion as hitter as it is confused The disputes between pacifists mill militarists, between 1 leiiiocrats and Republicans, have resulted in a I label, ami out of it all have cnme prejudices ihnt dn no care to boThcr with facts. It is a situation packed with menace. Not onl is it the case that naMniial confidence and 'national self-respect are liein undermined, but igno rance and hate make it impossible for wise decisions to be rendered. Xothlnp is more imperative than thai sucii a situation be ended. The people of the lnpod States arc entitled t.i the truth, the whole iruth uud uothint; hut the truth. What is slander and what is fact'.' Is the Navy, as it stands today, an asset or a liabihl. ? Is the Navy bill honest and adequate or a dose of "eye wash'-"" lias Secretary li.utiels "de moralized ?" Is he a faithful public servant, worthy of support, or a Joke" These questions ma not be answer (1 by any member of the Wilson Administration, or by any member of Congress, or by anv office seeker, or by "mapazine experts" writing to suit editorial preconceptions. Not only is absolute and exact knowledge re tliiired but he who speaks authori'a tively must be free from the slightest suspicion of political bias or personal prejudice. ' Admiral Dewey Knows One man only measures up to these Fpecineations. That, man is Admiral Kewey. lie has been in tile navy of the Cuited Sta'es since I Sot, serv ing through two wars. Since I Mir.! he has been head of the (leneral Board, passing upon naval defeats, naval neiMs and naval plans. No Ad- nuiLlst ration has power to hurt him. I By law he is exempted from the usual retirement provisions, and if h does decide to retire it will be id' his own volition and at full pay. Xu partisan quanvl has ever had power, to drag him from his heipht. j Aside from these qualifications,' lie ! is loved of the American people as few men have ever been lovrtl. In a day when there is niucli talk of I Americanism, he stands as one who' has risked his life for it. and who, has devoted that.lifv to Kivjn,' rich-! er. finer meanings to the word. I found him at Atlantic City, In a1 prreat windswept room that looked over the sea. His hair had whiten. I ed, but otherwise he is but little j changed I y the years that have pass." ed since the wonderful day he re-. turned from Manila to hear the shouts of a nation. The same clear steadfast eyer, the same tremendous simplicity, the same faith in Ameri ca! Speaking slowly,, but never hesi tatingly, for three lone; hours he con sidered the I'nited States Navy, past, j present and future; world war. world peace, national ideals and national, destiny. Only In his first answers, I when an evident indignation gripped him, did he depart from the lone of one fryiiu.' to pick his wonts in ine Interest of understanding. - AtuUcks False "The attacks that have been made upon the navy" he said, "are as false j as . many of. them are shameful. Tt . is not a junk hf'ap. There is no demoralization, Uoth In 'material. and personnel we are inniii efficient to day than ever before. Our ships are as Rood as any, our officers are :ir pood as any. and our enlisted iir r: a"v the finest in the world 'It Is true that we have not mo. li ships or enouch men.

It y . hff.r pi! todav. and It is today tht rhould concern us." He walked over to his desk, and inkl'nit up 'it copy of the Sena'.' Navy hill, spread It before him. For a tuoment, as If to measure his vords he tapped it with a hilT. brown l re finfier, and then he said: - I Best Hill I Acr I'asscil "This is the best bill ever passed hy either house of any f'o-m;roKS. It takes the five year, program .of the Oeneral Hoard and chaiures it Info, a three year proprani. It will restore ns to second place, and enable the I'nitdd States to meet on equal terms any power in the world, save one." Rill Is Vecdcil . I asked tiitn then for a .considera tion of the bill, or rather, sonic such analysis as would permit a. civilian to do a lillle thinking for himself; Patiently etiouph he went over each item. . "Four battleships at once and six within three years'." Now he was firmly on his own (-round, his words came like bullets ''ITle irreat clash at the mouth of the Skagerrack (?ave a trist to every theory. As a. result, naval authorities are now agreed that the battleship is still the principal reliance of navies. As never before it is proved that victory or defeat riMs with the di'eadnaupht.

The Skagerrack proves conclusively, however, that the battle cruiser cannot plve and take with dreadnaughts. "Scout cruisers four, and six more to come. More eyes for the fleet. Absolutely necessary." After placing a matter of fact "O. K." on the three fuel ships, the two ammunition ships, thn hospital ship, ti repair shin and a transport, alsri the two punhoats and various tend, ers, he moved to the submarines. Submarine Xol Supreme "Like the battle cruiser." he said, "the submariin1 has been permitted to gain a very exaggerated value. It Is. of course, a most useful anxil. lary. whose Importance will no doubt increase, but at present there Is no rvidifnce that It will become supreme. The bill provides for nine fleet sub head nod point, but his hands went. tveen r.Hili and 1 !Hl!i that O passed us and that we coim marines, three coast submarines. !'oi tun typv, and fifty-five submarines, smaller type, provisions that are in !im with the i-ecumiuendalions of the Ceneral Hoard.

"1 ibiii't think there is a doubt of it. They navy today offers as line a chance for the American youth to lit himself for life ns any other depart ment of endeavor," . "Tell me, Admiral liewey." and 1 braced myself' for vim momentous ouestion: "Has Secretary Oaniels de moralized the navy" . (iron! Record of Sec. Daniels "I'.osh'" The ecla n'Ki t ion was; one of disgtist and indignation "Facts ami figures lell their own story. The navy was live thousand short of the num ber of enlisted nu n allowed by law; over six thoi'sand' have been added although more rigid exambia! ions have forced the rejection of live out of every six. Only lifty-two per cent of honorably discharged seamen were reen list ing. Fur. "more than a year about niiiily p-r cent have re enlisted. Iiesertions have been cut in -half and discipline has been im proved to an exlent that has permit ted the restoration f a prison ship ami a disciplinary hat-racks to normal uses. No sir, the navy is mil demoral ized and those who make the charge are guilty of falsehood and misrep resentations." . "l'id Secretary lianiels ever . issue an order for idficers and men lo mess together, only withdrawing the order when informed that it might bring white anil blacks to the same -table." "Slanderous. No such order was ever heard of." It had beert.luv purpose to take tip with Admiral Mewey every one of the small things alleged against Sec retary Haniels every one of till' petty charges ihat press and magazines have use.) to prejudice people against the navy head. It proved . impossible. . It votild have been like talking gutter gossip with St. I (ml:.. "I low about officers'."' I asked. "Ollicers, like navies, are not made in a day." 1 could see . his relief at getting away from mud. "When the present administration took charge, it found that the law providing for the appointment of two midshipmen at Annapolis by each niomhiT of Con gress had. been permitted to lapse-. This law was extended, and (he present Congress, upon the reioiainendation of tin- Secretary, bus provided for 1 hree .additional midshipmen 'to each Congressman. This makes S.'ll addi able. There is alsoavail- s:shrdlu tlonal ..appointments immediately avaliable. Then, is also the l;lw that opens the Naval Acndmey to lift ecu' eni sled men each . year, provided, of 'o'trso. they measure up to the mental moral and physical standards." Is 'hat .1 nood idei?" "It is more than a good idea." r a second I saw Admiral liewey lie must have looked 011 the 'iriilge at Manila Hag. "It Is democracy.

I said then that the navv could not afford to be the one depart ment of American activity in which a boy could not rise from the bolt1111 to the lop I say it now. This is the I'nited States, not an Old World mon archy." . The same thlrif? (roes for the ship schools." he continued eninhatii allv. "F.dncation is onr solid rock. Not only do the schools nueke better citizens, but tin y make better sailors. We want our youngsters trained in IntelliL'ence as well as In hands so that if ollicers -'o, the ship can still be fought. No. sir!" he exclaimed. -"Open the door of promotion to the enlisted man giv ing him an elementary, technical or industrial education, as may be deem ed fittest are American policies." "What about the famous drinking order ?" "A good thing." His answer was instant. "There was some feeling about II at first, because the papers made fun of it, and there was also an attempt to make It appear that Secre tary Haniels was charging officers with intemperance. I think that Hie feeling has disappeared completely. Ter-- ( oiiiiueiils 011 the I nl form lracr Mi'iinic Topi of the )uuii I'l-oplc's So-irtic I'hrlMlaii K11- .

For christian growth is due to divine powir Vithin. and that power comes to the branch through the Vine. Apart from Christ we perish, present' with Christ we prosper. The school follows the chinch. fu!iui.v is a consequence of conver sion. The Oospel plants the seeds of longing for broader, loftier life in every heart. It is natural for a Christian to try to be the very best man possible, and to develop all his capabilities. Christians grow toward all tt'iepo! al excellences, as w ell as toward spiritual graces. The mot potent lib- in a community should be that of the best Christian. in Like tie Wi llie llifht. Christians grow even Temporal .n the world.. To able and of go pood time and are the ambitii sperity is the goal of be rich and comfort ad repute; to have a an easy time these ns of tile day. Men are salislied if they can "get along in the world." The objection to this is that it deals only with temporal prosperity. It is short-sighted, ami insufficient. Spiritual growth is in tiuitely more important than worldly success To prow In the graces of the inner man. ami in the grace of Christ, is better than to increase in wealth or fame.- Hecaiise spiritual pi ogress is forever, and these other things are perishing. They bestlive who live for the life unending, f We do not leap into perfection; we grow into spirituality-A ear by year. Growth plenties Hod F.very in creasing Christian is a testimony to the reality of th t;..'oeI of .lesus Christ. We are doing acceptable service for our Master when we are simply growing. Time tests. There is nothing else like it. We may apply the test of time to our own growth. Will it endure. Is it a growth that is an ingrained part of us; in other words, a growth in character? Then it is true growth, 'and destined to outlive time itself. There are other kinds of growth, like that of the mushroom and the sunflower, that are rather to be feared than cultivated in our lives.

Tlmnks to the Secretary's drastic order shortly after he came into otllce, interperance has disap peared from the navy, and although the drink prohibition excited ridicule and -bitter opposition at the start, the majority 01 naval ollicers now agree thai it has had a most beuellcin ef fect on eMIciem-y and discipline.
