Secretary Denies the Navy
Has Lost Anything in
Kfficiency.
IBton, Va., July 26. Secretary
Dands. speaking to-r.ight before the
Virginia Press Association, replied to
what he called the eampaign argument
that the Ameriean navy wna losir.g in

m.-de, he said, :n ipite of the fact that
"thert are fifty-six more ships in com
m.ssion now than on March 4, 1913.
There are f>,000 more men and a large

If the addre.sses of the givers had
b.en included in the day's list "Pans,
France,' would have been written
after one name, "Waahington, D. C,"
after another, "Canon '"ity, Coi.,"
after another and "San Diego, Cal.,"
after still another. An examination
of the names of the givers will show
also that others than the subjects of
Woodrow Wilson showed their belief
in vacations for poor ehildren.
W re they all old or were they for
the most. part young, these givers?
Here's the letter that came with one
contribution:
"East Orland, Me.
"The Tribune Fresh Air Fund:
"Please credit the inclosed tiny
check to your fund. It is a gift from
j my small boys, the reault of abstemi
< ousness in the matter of ginger ale!
"Do not pubhsh any name except
, 'W. A- R.'
"We wish it were far larger.
"Yours truly."
Ab|ained $2.60 Worth.
[f you will look for "W. & R." be
low you will find that they abstaim-d
to the extent of %tM worth. Think
of that for these hot day.s! If you
haven't sent your gift to the fund
this year yet w,th this example be
ore you, dare you look a cool drink
in the face until you do!
These small boys are the new re
cruits of the Fresh Air army. With
the contriDution from Naugatuek,
i Conn., came a letter from tne cler
gyman who inspired hia townspcople

up this way:

[the New York Central to the needs of
the city in the past." Mr. Adams said.
I "The New York Central appreeiates
Ithe importnnc. of th* terminal ques
