Of the five-year program rec ommended, the secretary says: "1 liope Congress will indorse it by o large a vote of its members as to make certain its continuance by Congresses to come. The full totnl of the navy budget for the vear is $217,652,17-1! all but $132, 280,047 of which will go for ships now under construction or ,to be authorized The remainder contemplates the in creased personnel and general running expenses of the navy alloat and ashore, "In comparison' with the enormous ex penditures abroad," the secretary writes the large expenditure is necessary if our fleet is to be able to enforce American policies. The lesson of the European war warns us that it is better to spend money in times of peace for preparation than to run the risk, however remote, of sorely wanting shipg and munitions f suuueuly needed. J. he secretary comments at length on the need of battle cruisers of the pro posed 35-knot type. The events of the huropean war are recounted to show the part these craft have played and the rea sons for including six of them in the building program. As to the battleships of the future, the secretary says the sug ested vessels are of much greater dia placement and heavier armament than anything beretofore contemplated for any navy. The department is now dig cussing plans for ships of 3(1,000 tons and armed with 16-inch or perhaps 17 inch guns. The secretary says the plan has not Jet been approved, but his esti mates are based on ships to cost $18, 000,000 each, which would allow for the increased sue. Secretary Daniels takes another radi cat step in his report in urging that the present system of promotion of officers by seniority be abandoned fn favor of promotion by selection. He goes at length into the results of the seniority system to find that it produces "stag nation in the lower grades, arrival at command rank late in life and a fleeting passage through command and flag grades, combined with absolute lack of professional incentive throughout all grades." Officers now hold the grade of of .captain for an average of two years, he gays, and are rear admirals for only six months before retirement for age overtakes them. , About IJJOd officers, be states, must pass through the grades of captain and rear admiral in the next 40 years under the present plan. FIRST WEEK OF CONGRESS Sees G. 0. P. Much in Evi dence in Capital Ho tel Corridors STUDENT CONFERENCE HELD AT NORWICH Y, M. C. A. Worken from Various In- ttitutiom Gathered at North field nd Held Interesting Session. ROSEBERY SPRINGS A FORD AUTO JOKE Washington. D. C Dec. 13. Details of the half billion dollar navy building program under the five-year .continuing plan recommended to Congress are con tained in the animal report of Secretary Daniels, made public last night. The report shows that for the first time, in the history of the department, the secretary's recommendations increase the expenditures proposed by the general board. In this connection the secretary says: "My recommendation of a five-year program embraces the same number as proposed by the general board in the distribution it made in the five-year pro gram of dreadnaughts, battle cruisers, scouts and destroyers. I recommend 15 fleet submarines where the general board recommends nine, and I recommend 85 coast submarines as against 58 recom mended .by the general board. ' For addi tional reserve ammunition, my recom mendation is $25,000,000, wbereas the ' General board" recommends $11,000,000. They recommend something more for other craft. My total for the five years is $502,482,214. The general board's to ' tal is $499,876,000, a very slight differ ence for the five years, though the board's recommendation for the first . year is much larger than the department's esti mate. The five-year- program for new ships and completion of those already author ized reaches a grand total of $502,482,214, with large appropriations for reserve am munition and aviation. Secretary Daniels differed from the general board in one important particu lar at least as to the program, although the total number of ships to be con structed and the typeg recommended are those proposed by the board, the sec retary says: "The general board was called upon for advice in this connection, and the de partment has accepted its recommenda tions as regards numbers of capital ships. As regards their distribution over a five year period, it was concluded, in view of all the circumstances, that it would be best to make this as nearly uniform as might be. This course has obvious practical advantages, particularly in view . of the present congested condition ot the shipbuilding industry in this coun try. Moreover, since the maximum rate . of expenditure upon the capital ships, which take some years to build in any case, will not be reached immediately, it enables us to concentrate at first upon submarines and other quickly built craft, so that we will get earlier returns for our expenditure in the shape of complet ed vessels." It is understood the board recommend ed a particularly large program for the first year. The secretary calls attention to the fact that he established a precedent last year in making public the report of the general board, which he will follow this year at a later date. The result, he nays, is eertaitr to arouse discussion as between the recommendations of the board and of the secretary, but adds: "Hut discussion makes for knowledge nd a wise decision. The general board Is influenced by its profesxional views, while the administration takes into con sideration the whole nationsl policy and does not overlook the question of na tional revenues." Following will lie the composition of the fleet in 1021, built or building, if the program is carried out, according to the general board's calculations, the aocre tsryaays: Battleships, firt-t line 27 Battle cruisers Battleships, second line 25 Armored cruisers ,10 Nwit cruiser ................ 1.1 Cruiwrs, first 5 Cruisers, soind "Us , 3 'i uiwrs. third rlas In Destroyer !( Kl'-et submarines , IN (Visit submarine l.",7 Monitors ,nnlt , 2 Supply ships , 4 Fuel ships 15 Transports 4 Tender to torpedo vr4. 3 Sr" isl types Ammunition ship t X'rgmg the fiwrwuty of a miit inning btntding procTsm, tl wrrtary ray if is the "mrtt'i ir to rt tl.

"It Is propelled apparently by a gentleman named Ford, who makes, I think, perambulators.

AU this has contributed to the excite ment of polities, to which Washington alvaya lends itself most readily. The candidates and, alike many of the Re publican congressmen, attended the Grid iron club dinner Saturday evening as guests of Washington newspaper corre spondents.

Similarly the sweet wine tax, which has been a failure because of its drastic features, could properly be modi fled at the same time. But important as some modification of it is conceded to be, the Democratic leaders are very ner vous about attempting to get the amend ment through now.

Iflnd th,E4 tt'Bd tnuilA in flrinlv rn 4ii4arv gave his report of the great work that has been done in that institution. The association at the University of. Vermont now numbers over a hundred members, and the work which it has accomplished and which it plans to do this coming year covers a notably broad field. The association has been instrumental in se curing many speakers of note for its open meetings at the university. Indus trial service work is being carried on in Burlington and Winooski, where classes in English and general courses leading to a training in citizenship are given two or three times' weekly. Bible study classes have also been established in every church where university students attend. Wayne Montgomery of Vermont state school of agriculture was the next speak er on the program. The work of the V. M. C. A. at Randolph has consisted in obtaining prominent speakers for their meetings and in sending several deputa tion teams to the surrounding towns. Work for the coming year has started prosperously and the membership is greater than it ever has been before. Bernard L. Davis of Montpeuer semi nary gave a report ot the work there. Every young man in the seminary is a member of the association. At their weekly- meetings they have adopted the plan of having an old and new member lead the meeting Jointly, and in this way a valuable training has been given the new as well as the old members. The principal speaker of the evening was Francis F. Miller of the student de partment of the international committee of the Y. M. C. A. Mr. Miller made use of three general topics in his discussion and used illustrations from the great war in Europe to force home his points. The first of these topics was based on 0 may chief i free themselves and do no mis- our earnest solicitation.

JAPAN TO SEND NOTE. Representation of the Allies Regarding . China's Chang to Monarchy. Tokto, Dec. 1,1. It is considered prob- ble at Tokio that Japan, in the name of terself and her allies, will send another friendly note to China with regard to the proposed change of China's form of government to a monarchy, which the ntente powers have indicated they do not wish to have take place during the eourae ot the war Because oi aisturn- nces of the peace which it might en tail. After acknowledging China's reply that she was capable of handling any outbreaks that .might occur, the note probably will point out that the allies! will hold (lima responsible for the main tenance of peace and the protection of the lives and property of foreigners. BLAME PUT ON GERMANY day life and especially to college life of the delegates. The second point was that no money or other materia! posses ion forms a secure foundutinu. The third point was that every worker must have a loyal faith and enduring trust in his leader. During his talk, Mr. Miller brought out the fact that the nations are each day spending morn to curry on the war than Is spent yearly in the com bined work of the churches of North America for the extension of their activi ties, t At the close of the meeting a short social time was held, during which all delegates had an opportunity to meet the sneakers of the evening and to register tiieir names and colleges. The first service on Sunday waa held at 0:15 in the university chapel. Rev. A. Boyd, secretary ot the Vermont Sunday School association, led the quiet hour service, the subject of his talk lie Ing "The Price of Leadership." Mft Boyd's way of leading is delightful: at no time during his talk did he lose the. close attention of the delegates. Most of the delegates attended church services at the Northfleld churches, where 1 special programs had been arranged. . A conference on methods of work was 1 hold In the afternoon In Dewey hall, at I which time Mr. Miller met the delegates and explained different means by which the desired results had been attained un der different conditions. At the close of the meeting the delegates adjourned to the parade, where a group photograph was taken. The most important meeting of the conference was held at 4 o'clock Sunday afternoon in the university chapel. The entire cadet corps attended the service en masse and every delegate was present. lhe meeting was conducted by Dean Rob erts of Norwich university. After the singing of two hymns the university stringed orchestra gave a selection. Rev. Sargent, chaplain of the university, then read a selection from the gospel. This was followed by a short prayer. Dean Roberts then introduced President Reeves, who spoke on "Voluntary Serv ice and the Joys of Achievement." Be ginning with the primeval man he showed how service to mankind had developed until now it includes service to ourselves, to others, to the community, to the state and finally to the country. He also showed how the person giving his best toward attaining a high standard of tie velopment physically cannot go far wrong morally. Service must not be selfish and it can be rendered to the best of advantage when men act colla- tively though personal service may be of the highest value. The true reward for service may be found in the joys of achievement. Mr. Miller then spoke to the gathering, taking as his subject "Ambassadors of Christ." In his talk he showed how everyone to-day should work as an am bassador of Christ and how very many chances there were m everyday life and in the immediate surroundings to show the spirit of Christ in helping our fel low men. In closing, Mr. Miller gave a strong, forceful talk on the power of prayer. The exercises closed with the singing of a hymn by the men. The student committee in charge of the convention consisted of C. L. Stevens, R, L. Creed, W. A. Cpham, E. B, Daw son and O. R. Bennett, jr.
