WASHINGTON. Dec 13. "Our navy Is
strong hut It must bo stronger," declares
the Rocrot.ii-v nt lp Navy, Josophus Dan
lets. Ir his nnruat icport to the President,
recommending n building plnn Involving
tlin expenditure of p:i-.'js:.211 within the
next five vra'S.
President '"llson already has Riven his
npprovpl in tho program outlined by Sec
retary Daniels, and It Is to be mnlo an
Administration measure In Congress.
"Planning today what we will begin to
morrow.' .iys Secretary Daniels, "In or
der to have it completed In the future
Is the essence of all true prepurodncss.
Nothing Is tn bo Rained by tho expendi
ture of millions of dollars In tho haste
of threatened wnr or In the panic of ac
tual war. Lc.s Is to be gained for tho
proper strengthening of tho navy by sud
den fluctuations and unexpected changes
In policy."
TOTAL FOP. THE YEAR.
Tbo total for naval Increase nsked for
1917 In this year's naval bill lfl $03,372,127,
of which $37,003,000 Is to begin vessels to
be nutlinilzed. $3,000,000 for leservo of mu
nitions. $2,000,000 for avlntlon and $23,309.
127 fo- continuing work on vessels now
under construction or just about to be
begun under previous authorizations.
"My recommendation of a. live-year pro
gram," says the Secretary, "embraces
tho same number as proposed by tho Gen
eral Hoard In the distribution it made In
tho live-year program of dreadnoughts,
battlo cruisers, scouts and destroyers. I
recommend 13 licet submarines where tho
General Board recommends nine, nnd I
recommend 85 coast submarines, na
against ES recommended by the General
Board. Kor additional reaorvo ammuni
tion my r"Commendntlon Is $23,000,000,
whereas tho General Board recommends
$11,000,000. They recommend something
more for other croft. My total for tho
five years Is $.102.2,214. Tho General
Board's total Is $1S?,S7C.OOO, a very slight
difference for tho live years, though tho
board's recommendation for the first year
Is much larger than the department's es
timate." rrtOMOTioN by selection.
Secretary Daniels takes another radical
stop In this report in urging that the pres
ent syBtcm of promotion of officers by
seniority be abandoned in favor of pro
motion by selection.
Turning to the problem of finding ade
quate auxiliary ships for the navy In
wnr time, the- Secretary says he has not
Included anv vessels in his building pro
gram except thoo which must be used
constantly for the navv. In peace or war.
On n war basis, he odds, thp navy would
need 400 additional ships, or a tonnage of
1,172,OjO, to earry fuel and suprlles and do
Other auxiliary work.
In recommending again tho construc
tion of n Government armor plate fac
tory ard nlno urging that n projectile
factorv be added to the navy's equipment
and tnnt every navy yard bo equipped
for construction ns well ns repair work,
Secretary Daniels cgnln lays stress on
his theory that the Government should
be able to build nny pan of the equip
ment reeded for the nnvy.
WANTS 11.500 MOBR .MEN.
In addition to the foregoing, the report
includes tho following recommendations-
An Increase of 11.500 men In the en
listed personnel of the nnvy and Marino
Corps, an adequate Incrense of offlcera
to be provided by enlarging tho force of
midshipmen nt the Naval Academy by
admitting to junior grades and for en
gineering duty only graduates of tech
nical schools nnd by opening to civilian
avlntors the Navy Aviation Corps.
Construction of an adequate research
laboratory for the use of navy engineer
ing and scientific bureaus and the board
of civilian scientists recently created
under Thomas A Edison ns chairman.
Expenditure of $1,000,000 to re-engine the
battleship North Dakota, the scout
cruiser Salem and the destroyers Henley
and Mayrant.
Construction of a drydock at the Nor
folk yard to accommodate the largest
battleship.

Washington Report "Pre

Foundation"
RUMOR STIRS CAPITAL
Attache Whose Kccall U. S. Demand
ed Was Frequently Seen in
Company of Two Sisters
Rumors that have been atlont In Wash
lngton soclnl circles to the effect that Miss
Virginia Mnckay-Smlth, daughter of tho
Right Rev. Alexander .Mackny-Smlth, Into
Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal Dio
cese of I'cnnsjlvnnla and nt one tltna
resident of Philadelphia, was engnged to
marry Captain Karl Uoy-Ed, nanl at
tache at the German Embassy, who has
been recnlled by tho Kaiser, have been
declared without foundation by the
mother of the oung woman, Mrs Vir
ginia Mncka -Smith.
Bishop Mackay-Smlth was formerly rec
tor of tho fashionable St. John's Church,
In Washington, and the members of his
family nre widely known socially MIs
Mnckov-Smlth made her debut In the
capital In 1901. Ever since the announce
ment of the demand of the t'nlted Slates
that Captain Boy-Ed and Captain I-'rnnt
on Pnpen, the military attache, be re
called by the German Government, Wash
ington society has been gossiping about
the reported engagement. Miss Mocltay
Bmlth refused to see a reporter at her
home, 13G5 16th street, N W . sending
word that she was Indisposed, and Cap
tain Boy-Ed could not be communicated
with last night at the German Club, New
York.
Mrs Mnckay-Sinlth. who formerlv lived
nt the Bellcvuo-Strntford, however, de
nied the rumor, which she characterized
as "preposterous" and "without foun
dation" It was also pointed out In
Washington among those who tll-cusscd
the matter that the request for safo
passago for the two German attaches
made no mention of a prospective bride
for Captain von Papen.
Mrs. Mackny-Smlth said sho was nt a
loss to understand how It was that her
daughter's name was coupled with that
of Captain Boy-Ed.
Tho report from Washington was. In
part, ns follows:
The tongues of the olllclnl set In
Washington society nre wagging Indus
triously over ono development of tho rc
call of tho German military and naval
attaches, Franz von Papcn nnd Captain
Boy-Ed.
"Tho gossip concerns tho reported en
gagement of Captain lloy-ed to Miss
Virginia Mackoy-Smlth, daughter of the
Into Bishop Alexander Mnckay-Smlth,
former rector of St. John's Episcopal
Church, ono of the most exclusive con
gregations of the Capital.
"Miss Maekoy-Smith pleaded Indispo
sition wQicn n reporter called today nt
her home, 1363 lCth street, N. W. She
sent down word that sho would seo no
one.
"Her mother emphatically denied the
report of the engagement. Mrs. Mnckay
Smlth suld thnt tho report was prepos
terous and without foundation, nnd said
she could account In no way for the
rumor which had been tho subject of
much tnlk In official circles.
"Captain Bov-Ed, while attnehed to the
German Embassy, was a habitual attend
ant nt most of the diplomatic social af
fairs of tho city and most frequently wns
seen In tho company of Miss Mackcy
Smlth nnd her younger sister. Miss
Olndjs. The Mackey-Smiths spent last
summer nt Seal Harbor, Me., und there
Captnln Boy-Ed was seen frequently
escorting the older daughter.
"There nro not a fow members of tho
social set. Including Captain Boy-Ed nnd
Miss Mackey-Smlth, who regard their ru
mored attachment os evidence of the
Innocence of tho nnvnt attache of tho
charges upon which President Wilson de
manded his recall. They contend thot, ns
tho fiance of an American girl, Captain
Iloy-IM would have been particularly
scrupulous not tn offend tho Government
of the United Stntes
"If Captain Boy-Ed and Miss Mackey
Smlth are really engaged It Is evident
that the wedding dooa not Impend. The
safe conduct asked by the Stato Depart
ment of the Allies nnmed only Captain
Boy-Ed and Captain von Papcn, thus
making no pro Islon for a prospective
bride In the pnrt."

I.ady Flndlay fled from Serbia along the
Serbian "trail of horrors."
"Bulgarian shells were breaking In
every direction In Plrot," snld Lady
Sybil, "but Doctor Jett nnd Matron Dull
refused to leave. Buildings close to the
hospital, which was Installed In a school,
became turgets for the Bulgarian gun
ners, and it seemed certain that the hos
pita! Itself would bo blown to pieces at
any moment.
"Doctor Jett and tho matron not only
refused to leave when the bombardment
began, but Insisted that they be allowed
to remain alone In the hospital and earn
for the desperately wounded. Tho Ser
bian military authorities declined their
offer and ordered them to move at once
to a less perilous position "

What kind of a head arc you?
Are you a mutton-head, a. sap-head, a
pin-head, a swell-head, a pulldln'-hcad or
any other kind of a hcnd7 You certainly
nro not n crowned head, unless by chance
this should escape the censors across the

If you aie not one of the aboc-men-tloned,

them every tin v. The mutton-hend Is tho
bont-tcckcr, the ma who points tho "un

bans like a sheep, nnd be wenrs his wool
close down over bis eyes. Sap-heads dis
play dainty ankles uicnsed In purple
socks and look at their wrists to seo If
It Is tltno to tnki' tea. Tho man who
will not get out ol the way of a loco
motive, or who doesn't ngreo with your
line of argument Is n block-head.
Ho Is the first cousin of the wooden-
hend, who catches tho wrong truln nnd
figures out thnt mncK is wiiuc, unci ol
another kind of n person, the bone-hend,
who's the guy thnt stents second when

the pin-head, whose gray matter Is re
duced to a minimum.
Tho swell-head's "dome" Is Inflated

brought about by means of gold, but
certuln kinds of paper, like stocks and

COWS BLAMED FOR
SHORTAGE OF MILK
Cold Weather Responsible for
Their Delinquency, Some
Dairymen Say
For some unaccountable reason the
cows that supply this city with milk are
not "delivering the goods," but house
holders need not be alarmed. For the
present, at least, there will be no ad
vance In prices and the dairymen will
stand for the losses.
The cold weather may be responsible
for the cows' delinquency, but dairymen
are not agreed on this point. They are
ngreed, however, that there Is a shortage
of milk.
Superintendent Mllln, of the Woolman
dairy, said today:
"For some unaccountable reason the
cows are not milking. It may bo tho cold
weather, but I nm not certain. It makes
no difference with respect to tho cow.
High-grade and low-grade cows nro not
producing as they should. At this sea
son every yenr there Is a let-down In
tho supply. If nny one should try to buy
a quart of milk nt nny wholesale dairy In
the city today, he could not get It. If
tho shortnqo continues, the price mny bo
raised. But there Is no danger for the
present. The dnlrymen will stand the
losses "
