Secretary of tlie Navy Daniels does not contemplate n "dry zone" for Philadelphia now. "Conditions In Philadelphia have Improved," ho said today In an Inter view with an Evening PunLic ledger representative. Mr. Daniels, who camo hero to speak at the "patriotic day" exercises of the Klks' convention, was asked whether the Philadelphia authorities had co operated with the Government to his satisfaction. The Secretary shrugged his shoul ders and Kmllcd. j Vice, Condition Better "Conditions have Improved mr. TThat," lie replied, "but they are not per. feet yet. Tliey begnn to get better nfter I.leiilenuiil Colonel llulrli talked with tlie Mayor. ' "So long n tlie city authorities uliow n. disposition Ui nld, just an lone "I" I let them work out the problem.

The only perfect zone would bo from tlie North Pole to the South role. "fUernal vigilance," the Secretary itald, was his attitude tbward Philadel phia and other points sheltering large bodies of sailors and marines. Jlr. Daniels expressed the opinion that the nation would ba "bone dry" after January 1, 1919. The Secretary, whose General Order No. 39 made the navy dry four and a half yearn ago. said he believed Congress would pass the pro hibition amendment, whose supporters won a 36 to 33 victory yesterday In tb Senate. The ballot was on a test votu - No Cnuie for Alarm Off Coast i "There U no came for alarm alone the Atlantic const,'1 he asserted, n dis cussing the l'-boat menace. "As long as there Is a submarine In tho ocean there will be danger," he explained, "and one can always look for the sinking of a ship or two. But the fierman submarine policy along our coastE was to instill fear. The first day r mibmarlno was sighted off the At lantic coast, tlie biggest convoy wanted to wait a day or two. I ordered It to start at once and It got through. safely. "If there had been a delay of a day or more, tho German purpose would have been accomplished. "When we entered the wnr, fierniany said e couldn't train the nccemary men. We trained nml are training them. Then Oernmny snlil we couldn't supply hlp enough. We Bupplled them. Then their cry was we couldn't get the ,ahlp arroim. They went over. "The next claim was that our men would be slaughtered when they met' Prussian tctcrans." Praise Marines Tlie Secretary milled bioadiy as he recalled the brilliant record of the ma rines and other American fighting men at the front. "The marines have been particularly successful, Jlr. Secretary." "Conspicuously successful," he correct ed. "Eighty-live per cent of the marines urn sharnsdiooters and tliey excel when hharnshootlng is tho essential. But our fighting men will learn quickly enough.' The navy head was silent on the re. ported Impending Intervention of the .Tnnanese hi the north of rtussia. He refused to admit that now methods were being employed by the navy In fighting the submarines. In dltrcusslng tnc broader aspects of tlie war, he refeired to his chief, Presi dent Wllac." "The President has Initiative, grasp, courage and boldness, when boldness Is required," he sabl "Rashness, you ..know, is often disastrous. v "No modern naval commander," he asserted, "would say, like Farragut, Damn the torpedoes; go ahead,' No modern commander thus could dash through the waters of Helgoland, Say Science Will Win The side that employs the newest methods, combined with a knowledge of old tactics, la the aide that will win," 'was his dictum. ' And recalling that Kdlson and others cf the nation's most brilliant men aie laboring for the success of the Allied arms, the Secretary radiated confidence In the ultlmate'and complete triumph of democracy over autocracy. Tho Secretary was accompanied here by Paymaster lleneral Samuel JlcGow an. of the navy, and tho Secretary's aide, Commander Joseph K. Daniels, a submarine expert, who has just returned from foreign waters. Mr. Daniels was met here by a committee of Idles. Preceded by the Philadelphia police band, he vas conveyed, in a gaily decor ated automobile, to his hotel. THE WEATHER VANE "Blow, penile Kinds I" the poet says, i'ocllo ardor hi owing.

Condi tions there have Improved. Dut they are not perfect yet. The mo ment the city authorities relax I will step in, and In fifteen minutes throw h dry zone about Philadel phia. "A five-mile zone wouldn't pro tect the men in service. The only perfect zone would he from the North Polo to the South Pole." "There Is no cause for alarm." Jlr. Daniels sald. referring to U-boats off the Atlantic coast. "Tho biggest convoy wanted to wait when the submarines came," he said, "but I ordered It lo start, and It got through safely."

Newspapers In Germany have published the figures re cently given out Jiy Secretary of War Bahcr as to the number of Americans sent overseas, but heretofore they have virtually refrained from making com ment on the subject, apart from soma sarcastic caption like "American Bluff." Lieutenant General von Ardenne, lu the Dusseldorf Nachrichten. saysi "President Wilson recently announced thai ;,000,000 men were under arms. Secretary of War Baker Cays only 700, 000 now aro on the continent, while a French army commander figures that' only one-ninth of that number are at the front.

CaSCS 50- CENTS LIKELY BASE Higher Rale Per Hour to Be Allowed for Experienced Carmen Vt H.hlntrlon, July 11 The national war labor board Is preparing to hand down wage Increase awaids In the cases of Twenty-fourth stieet car companies whcjo employes appealcd( for higher scales. The hoard is expected to set a basic rate considered a living wage, probably fifty cents an hour. In addition higher rales will he allowed for experienced carmen. Claims that higher wages ate impos sible without higher fares are not ex pected to Influence the hoaid's decision. The board probably will tell the car companies to carry this contention he fore their State utilities commission or other rate-making bodies In an effort to secure increased operating revenue lo meet the wage advances. P. R. T. MEN TO SHARE . INCREASE, IS BELIEF As the Philadelphia Bapid Transit Company was among those whose olll clals recently conferred .vltli the Avar labor board in. Washington, it is be lleed that it will be affected in the wage Increase awards and may have to Increase fares lo meet the additional financial burden. Surprise was expressed by a repre sentative of the company this afternoon on Hearing of the reported early action in the matter. It was generally believed that all the testimony regarding the various problems of the street railways would not he submitted before June 22. It was announced by the board at the last meeting In Washington that tho hearing of testimony would close on that date and a decision be given before August 1. There Is a possibility, how ever,, tlie'.translt representative admit ted, that the board had been 'confronted with problems which required action at an earlier date. The fact that a large number- of street railway employes aie leaving their jobs to take up work In the various war Industries tor better pay Is also one of the reasons whv the board will take more speedy action than was first anticipated, RELIGION BARRED UNIFORM "Saint of Christ" Givei "Coii-i. entious" Excuse for Dodging Draft !

With the same determi nation, though not perhaps with the same hope, because, after all, the fjer many army has been disillusioned since the day of desperate endeavors. So far as physique goes, the pris oners taken by the Australians with detachments of Americans among them on July 4 were as sturdy a crowd of men as I have seen since prisoners first -came back from our battlefields, and there was no sign of under-feeding among Hiem. But when that has been said, with sutllcleijt emphasis to prevent any misunderstanding or false optimism, one may allude to certain signs of weakness among some of the troops now In line along our front.
