NAVY OFFICIALS
FAVOR FORGE OF
250,000 MEN
Would Rush Completion of
Ships Under Construction
With No Radical Changes
in Design.
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.

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.

AN INVITATION
You and your friends are cor

charm of the natural attractions of

girl of millions and a reporter of
decidedly radical ideas. 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.

ter on "mental science," sing a few
new songs and show a few new

hits. "An Alley Rehearsal" is a

High jinks of the idle rich, social

appeal.

inee on Tuesday, Henry Miller and

of two stars of such eminence as
Mr. Miller and Miss Chatterton ap
pearing in this deiignttui comeay

ter in New York last spring, should
prove of exceptional interest to lo
cal theatergoers. Ihe ornnal Iew

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

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.
