Washington, May 28. Although the Navy department has placed it self on record as being opposed to launching new building programs which would give the United States a navy "second to none in the world," it is in favor of rushing to completion all capital ships already authorized, and of .maintaining, temporarily at least, a orce of men capable of handling "any emergency ""which might arise." Secretary Daniels, containing his " testimony today before the house naval, affairs committee, read a com- , munication from the general board, which recommended that the 10 battleships and six battle cruisers authorized in the 1918 program should be completed as soon as pos sible and that no radical changes should be made in construction of the vessels. Wants 250,000 Men. Recommendation was made by the secretary that provision be made in the, 1920 appropriation bill fdr a navy of 250,000 men, only 23,- 000 less than are- now in the serv ice. He asserted that unless this V number was authorized, the navy would be unable to aid materially in bringing American troops home from Europe, and, in addition, would be "dangerously weakened." Mr. Daniels emphasized that the Navy department did not intend to ask congress at this time for a per manent navy of 250,000 men, but only for a temporary force large enough to take care of the work arising in the transition period be . tween war and peace. Between now and the end of the year, the secre- tary said, the department would have time to study carefully the situation and arrive at a definite conclusion as to the country's needs. tThe recommendation from the general board regarding the early completion of the 1916 program dis closed that the naval' experts had decided against the composite ship, which had been planned to take the place of the battleship and battle :ruiser. Few Changes to Be Made. No changes will be made in the 10 battleships already authorized, ex-, cept those suggested by future de velopment in battleship construc tion, the committee was told. Pla;.s for the battle cruisers will be changed to provide for greater pro tection at a slight sacrifice of the proposed speed of 35 knots an hour. Rear Admiral McKean, acting hief of the office of operations, said t6 first-class and 13 second-class sattlesh'ips, with a total compliment ii 36,000 men, would be kept in com nission as a peacetime force. The department has planned, he ;aiA in ItfMi in rnmmissinn 716 shins f alt types, put 193 out of commis sion and place 409 in reserve. i A summary showing the needs of :he navy for 250,000 men was given :o the committee. The number of " officers required was placed at 17,714.

Drawn for The Bee by Herschfeld WAGES OF FORD EMPLOYES NOT BASED ON PROFIT Testimony in Libel Suit Shows Minimum Pay of Five Dollars a Day Is Straight Scale. Mount demons, Mich., May 28. In Judge Tucker's court today. where Henry Ford, through hij lawyers, is trying to convince a farmer jurv that the Chicago Trib-' une should pay him $1,000,000 for an alleged libelous attack, the tes- j timony introduced by the plaintiff vas sufficiently varied to overcome j the drowsy tendency of a warm ' spring day. Attorney Alfred J. Murphy, for ; the plaintiff, was examining Edward j F. Clement, head of the educational, or sociological, department of the Ford company, when Attorney Ste venson objected to questions about profit sharing. "The testimony of all the witness es shows that this $5' a day mini mum is a straight wage arrange ment. The pay of these men does not depend in any way on the prof its of the company. When they start work they are given $2.72 a day. After six months this is raised to $5, regardtess of earnings," as serted Mr. Stevenson. Thomas Richards, one of the sol dier witnesses, testified that the Ford company had paid his wife $10 a week during most of his ab sence in the service.

Dorothy plays the part of the girl, and she chose Richard Barthelmess as the boy. Then the two held a consul tation with the author, and for the next five days spent their waking hours together in the different de partments of a Los Angeles news paper. Dorothy says she hopes that newspaper people will not have too much fault to find with the way it is presented. "Destiny," which will continue its run at the Brandeis all this week, with the exception of Saturday ev ening, deals with a conflict between a sister, played by Miss Phillips, and her brother, played by William Stowell, in which the latter's lust for power brines ruin to himself and' others. As in several late stage plays, two parallel lines of action are shown. Had a. certain choice been made at a certain time in the play's course, one set of conse quences would have resulted. Had another choice been made, a very different set ef consequences would have followed. One conclusion is tragic, the other happy, so one may take with him from the theater whichever he chooses.

At the Brandeis theater on next Monday and Tuesday, with a mat inee on Tuesday, Henry Miller and Ruth Chatterton will appear in "A Marriage of Convenience," by Alex ander Dumas, pere, adapted by. Sydney Grundy. The announcement of two stars of such eminence as Mr. Miller and Miss Chatterton ap pearing in this deiignttui comeay of manners which was such a nota ble success at Henry Miller's thea ter in New York last spring, should prove of exceptional interest to lo cal theatergoers. Ihe ornnal Iew York production in every detail will be utilized here and, the stars will be surrounded by a notable company. Mr. Miller will be seen as the Comte de Candale, and Miss Chat terton as the Comtesse de Candale. Says Theodore Kosloft", whose Russian ballet is the stellar feature this week at the Orpheum: "Russian dancers take their art very serious ly. With them it has been a life time study. In dancing they have been educated by the state. Every motion is in accordance with a well defined rule; every muscle has had expert training, so that the result is a finished performance." The ten members of the organization which Mr. Kosloff has brought to the Or pheum admirably embody all the agility and grace and poetic charm which the Russian school of dan cing has so admirably developed. Another excellent feature of the cur rent bill is the exceptional com edienne, Grace De Mar.
