Decries Inferiority of Navy and Urges Many Submarines Special to the Telegraph Washington. Feb. 19.—Instead of being equal to the German Navy and superior in effectiveness to that of France, the American Navy is only one-half as strong as the German anil Austrian navies combined anil the French is 20 per cent, more efficient, Captain Josiah McKean, aid for mate rial to the Secretary of the Navy, told the House Naval Affairs Committee. The superiority of both he attributed to building activity during the last two years. Captain McKean advocated a huge increase in the number of submarines, I but disagreed from Hear Admiral Al bert W. Grant, commander of the At lantic submarine flotilla, as to the lypes which should be built. Admiral Grant favored building nothing but ihe 800-ton type, closely resembling the German "U" boats. Captain Mc- Kean said a proportion of such ves sels was necessary, but that the coast defense type of about 530 tons should not be abandoned.

Photographic copies of this correspondence, part of which lias already figured in court martial : proceedings, were laid before the Sen ate Committee on Military Affairs yesterday afternoon by Senator Rob inson. of Arkansas, in support of his resolution calling for a sweeping in vestigation by a joint committee of the House and Senate into the aviation service. Though the excerpts of correspond ence afterwards made public, seem to involve only Colonel Reber, who is the son-in-law of lieutenant General Nelson A. Miles, I*. S. A., retired, and Captain Cowan. Mr. Robinson told the committee that the aviation section of the Signal Corps was "hopelessly inefficient and that this fact is known by the officers charged with its control and deliberately concealed by them from the War Department and front • Congress." Five Battleships a Year Is Provided in Plans For Two New Dreadnought Ships Special to the Telegraph Washington, Feb. 19. The Ad ministration is preparing to ask Con gress to authorize the construction of dreadnaught ships at the Puget Sound ; and Norfolk Navy Yards. If Congress approves, the United States hereafter will be in a position to turn out five dreadnaughts or battle cruisers simul taneously. It means also that the Government will be prepared to complete the | naval program in six years instead of nine, without any help from private yards, and that Government ships i hereafter can turn out capital ships at a greater rate of speed than any country except Great Britain. Will Regain Second Place The use of these five ships steadily and it is assumed that the Adminis-* iration will build them to use stead ily, means that a great naval pro gram of a continuous nature will be supported by this Administration, with the result that the American navy within a few years will regain ; its position as the second greatest : navy in the world. 3.000 AT WHITE HOl .SE Special to the Telegraph Washington, Feb. 19.—The annual White House reception to members of the Senate and House was attended last night by nearly 3,000 persons.

"Old Glory" Flashes Into Electric Lights as Band Plays Hymn When, as the final screen of Thomas Dixon's story was flashed yesterday afternoon on the screen at the Orpheum, the orchestra swung ma jestically into the strains of "Amer ica." the whole house was suddenly darkened—and far above the stage "Old Glory" flashed into realistic waves of red. white and blue electric lights. Rounds of applause swept through the theater as the flag glow ed overhead. The electric flag stood out so ef fectively against the arch of the stage that the big group of spectators strained necks to the stiffening point to watch. The standard incidentally is the first of the kind to be erected indoors and it differs from other illuminated flags in that the waving effect is produced by the alternate flashing and darkening of the bulbs. Other flags of the type will be erected in the near future according to officials of the electric light com pany which set up the theater stand ard. Witman - Schwarz Company is erecting one of the biggest electric signs ever contracted for in this city on top of the warerooms at 613-17 Walnut street. The design was pre pared by the Century Manufacturing Company of Iyancaster. The sign is 40 feet high and 36 feet long. MUSIC AT GRACE CHURCH The musical programs at Grace Methodist church for services to-mor row follow: Morning: Organ (a) The Question: (b) The Answer, Wolstenholme; quar- FIX DATES FOR COMMENCEMENTS No Definite Action on Choice of New Foose Building Janitor | Commencement dates for the 191 C I graduating- classes of the Technical and Central High and the Teachers , training schools were definitely fixed I yesterday afternoon by the school : board. The dates are: Technical High, June 15, eve ning:. Central High, June 16, morn ing. Teachers Training: school, May 26. evening. The board approved of the new suggestion to hold Central commence ment exercises in the morning, in stead of the afternoon. The Teach- I ers' committee was authorized to ar ! range for the exercises. Because President Stamm and Di rector Robert A. Knders were absent, no definite action on the choice of a 1 new janitor for the Foosc school building: was taken. On Mr. Tloutz's I motion the board first postponed ac- I tlon unreservedly because these inem i bers were absent; then after his error jin thus precluding a possibility of | providing a Janitor at the building ! dawned upon hint, Mr. Moutz turned right face about in its attitude with startling suddenness and suggested I that his own action had better be : rescinded. He furthermore suggested ! that a motion should be made to set the date for the election at the next meeting of the board. The Rev. Dr. Yates accepted the tip and made the motion accordingly. Dr. Keeno Sarcastic Dr. C. E. Jj. Keene took occasion just then to state some blunt truths !as to the board's selection of a I janitor. ' The new director had suggested that S applicants be examined and that the results be threshed out before the i board. Two candidates. Daniel ; Crutch ley and John Pagan underwent | the tests and Crutchley won out by making the highest average. In spite of this, however, an effort had been made to give the whole question a political aspect. Ex-Select Council man Harry F. Sheesley, defeated lie publican candidate for the mayoralty nomination last Fall is said to have • been behind the effort to start an ' agitation. Crutchley is from Sliees j ley's ward and he has opposed him. While Dr. Keene mentioned nobody in his remarks, fellow directors smil ingly figured that the old adage of the "shoe that fits" had once more been demonstrated, when Director Houtz sprang promptly to his feet as Dr. Keene concluded. The Chaste Ones . Dr. Keene didn't mince words in criticizing the actions of members of the board who had not held to their word. "Some people are so chaste," biting ly remarked Dr. Keene. "that when they are out on the street they'd be ashamed to meet the naked truth." Dr. Keene denounced the strange political story in one of the local papers which tried to convey the im pression that the Crutch ley-Fagan janitorship election was "the opening gun" of a factional campaign in the Republican party. "Not that I censure the reporter that wrote the article," declared Dr. Keene. "But I do censure the man who gave such information to the reporter." Mr. Houtz defended his action by explaining that the whole board should be on hand when the janitor is chosen. A casual suggestion t>y Director 801 l that he might be out of town next week should a special meeting be called had some special significance in Mr. Houtz's opinion. Then he switched his attitude so aa to fix the time for the election at the next regular meeting. At that time an expert consulting' engineer's re port on the character of the examina tion papers of the two candidates ob tained by Mr. Boyer will be opened. A little later Mr. Boyer gave Mr. Houtz a few unpleasant moments. Director Houtz had referred to the fact that he Is "custodian, in a way" of the Hamilton building, whereupon Mr. Boyer genially asked him why he "hadn't settled a certain matter" in that building sometime ago. Neither would divulge the character of the disturbance referred to although it is said to have been a question of a wide difference of opinion between the janitor and his assistant. Other directors got the impression that Mr. Houtz had called upon Mr. Boyer to help settle the contention. "Are you afraid to tell here what you told me over the phone. Mr. Houtz?" cooly inquired Mr. Boyer. "Certainly not," replied Mr. Houtz. "Then why don't you tell?" Mr. Houtif didn't answer. John Gunderman also applied for tlie Foose janitorship and Robert Tj. Alcorn wants to be transferred from the Reily to the new W. S. Steele building. Tiie board decided that the principal of the new Steele building shall be a male instructor. The board accepted the R. A. Lam berton prize oratorical fund as pro vided by James it. will and Secretary Hammelbaugh was made the trustee. tet. Art Thou Weary, Schnecker: organ. In Moonlight.
