Passengers Upon the
Wrecked China Liner
Taken to Hong Kong

the Chlyo Mam were brought to Hong
kong today by a British destroyer.
Charles Rush, an American who was
a. passenger, said all the passengers were
asleep when the steamer struck, but life
boats containing all the passengers were
launched successfully before the arrival
of a British destroyer.
"When the steamer struck." Mr. Rush

ship rising higher on the shore each time.
, I rushed uc to the deck of the vessel,
which was listing.
A wireless call for assistance was
sent out a"nd a British destroyer which

Daniels Urges Need of
Adequate Oil Supply
WASHINGTON. March Sl.-Secrctary
Daniels today told the house naval com
mlttee that if congress passed pending
bills, a large part of the navy's oil reserve
lands In California would be taken away.
Unless an adequate oil supply at reason
able prices could be assured, he said. It
was questionable whether thu construc
tion of oil burning warships could be
continued.
Secretary Daniels ursed that the bill
include the purchase of 2:12 acres of land
from the city San Diego, Cal., as a site
for a marine submarine bHse.
Taking up the building program Mr.
Daniels made public for the first time
the report of the navy general board of
IWS, which was designed to keep the
United States navy In second place.
"If It had been carried out," he said
"we would have had twenty dreadnoughts
and ten battle cruisers by 1919. It would
have placed us superior to Germany at
the beginning of the present war. Wo
kept in second place to Knsland up to
1909, when we dropped back and Germany
took second place.
Mr. Daniels took up in detail his recom
Herniations for a five-year building pro
gram, saying the value of battle cruisers
was still disputed among navy officers,
The general opinion in the navy, however
he added, seemed to be In thole favor,
but not to the exclusion of drcadnaiiKhU
Therefore the secretary said he had in
cluded six battle cruisers In his pro
gram.
