: napolis Graduates to Greater
Deeds For Their Country
By Associated Press.
Annapolis, Md., June 6.—Secretary
Daniels in an address at the grad
uating exercises at the United States
Naval Academy to-day declared that
the closing of hostilities uid not
mean the United States Navy could
"rest on its oars," but that it must
4 <surpass its great war record by a
""greater record in peace."
Urged to Apply Initiative
The 454 members of the graduating
class, the largest in the history of
the academy, were urged by tho Sec
retary to apply all their iniativc
and energy in the great task of de
veloping the efficiency of the Navy.
"All your force and energies are
needed," he said, "for we are de
termined the Navy shall not, as it
•did after the war between the States
and the Spanish-American war,
mark time for a decade. Our policy
must be that it shall not only not
decline but shall move forward con
stantly, improving in every element
of efficiency and making new records
nd new discoveries.
Reviews Navy's Record
Secretary Daniels reviewed the rec
ord of the navy's inventive enterprise
and will to overcome obstacles mani
fested during the war as a vital
contribution to the final result. This
record, he added, challenged the en
terprise and inventive genius of
American naval officers for all future
ntime.
"We want men who will think
the unthinkable and solve the un
solvable," declared the Secretary,
"who will dare to tackle the prob
lems that have so long puzzled the
■world."
Invites Suggestions
Mr. Daniels read an "all navy"
message which he issued during the
■war inviting all officers of the Navy
to submit any plan or suggestion
they might have "to help the Ameri
can Navy win the war." This invita
tion still stands, the Secretary said,
adding no officer should hesitate on
account of rank to communicate to
the Navy Department any well-con
sidered suggestion designed to im
prove the American Navy.
