Cabinet Members
Have Thrills. 1
JOSEP1IUS DANIELS, secretary
of the navy, hnd the first look at
his ships recently nt the south
ern ilrll! grounds. Old Point
Comfort. V11. He slept on board the
flagship Wyoming with a high opluion
of the magnitude of his new Job nud
u much better Idea of just what he is
secretary of than he ever thought was
possible.
Not ouly has Mr. Daniels been to
sea. but he has been In battle. For
twenty minutes ho stood up under the
terrific yellow blast from tho Wyo
ming's twelve twelve-Inch guns and
watt-bed the while geysers as the shells
ricocheted around the target nearly
six miles nwny. lie admitted that tho
firing, while it closed his ears, opened
his eyes to the magnitude and effi
ciency of the Uuited States nary. It Is
suspected that Mr. Daniels is a "big
navy" man or will be.
Even Postmaster General Burleson,
who was one of the chief opponents of
a large nary when In congress, Is be-
iunlng to think things over, and the
officers of tho lleet are well pleased
with tho day's work. Mr. Daniels is
not tho kind of secretary of the navy
tho men of the service are used to.
Thp Wyoming carries an Imposing bat
tery of twelve twelve-inch rifles, but
not twice this number fired in a single
salvo could make Mr. Daniels wear a
high hat He salutes the flag like an
American citizen and shakes hands
like a grownup man, but ho calls tho
starboard side of a ship the right and
refers to the bow as the front, yet no
one thought to criticise him for that.
He seems to belong on board Just the
same.
Guns Roar Welcome.
Tho secretary camo over the side of
tho Wyoming as she lay in Lynn Haven
Itoads at half past 8 o'clock lu the
morning, no wore a long cutaway
coat, tho same striped trousers he
wore at Democratic headquarters last
fall and n small gray cap pulled well
down on his forehead. Ho dragged the
?ap off as ho was handed aboard by
Captain Frederick L. Chapln of the
Wyoming and received by Rear Ad
miral Charles J. Badger, commander
In chief of the fleet, and his staff, no
put out his hand and. said "Hello!"
Rear Admiral Badger had a nice little
speech prepared, but ho cut it down to
"Hello, Mr. Secretary," and then tho
guns roared out their nlneteenfold
greeting. The ceremonies were over.
Behind Mr. Daniels camo Secretaries
McAdoo, Wilson, Houston and Lane.
Postmaster General Burleson, Secre
tary McAdoo's two young sons nnd
Robert Martin, his secretary; Rear Ad
miral N. C. Twining and Rear Admiral
Bradley O. Flsko. By this tlmo tho
salute was finished, and Mr. Daniels
put his cap back on his head and start
ed in to see just what there is to tho
navy.
When Secretary Daniels left tho Dol
phin, on board which he went down
to the capes from Washington, tho
women of tho party, who included Mrs.
Daniels, Mrs. Burleson, Miss Nina Mc
Adoo, Miss Eleanor Wilson, Mrs. W.
B. Wilson and Miss Bones, left the
Dolphin on board another cutter and
were taken aboard the Idaho, which
followed tho firing ships. The secre
tary thought it best for tho women to
bo aboard a ship which was not going
to Are, but would witness the firing
from a safe distance.
Tho battleships got under way for
tho drill grounds immediately, tho Wy
oming leading, followed by the Flor
ida, tho North Carolina nnd tho Idaho.
Fire miles off the capes the Delaware,
which had just come down from the
Boston navy yard, was sighted and
turned Into the column, a poor fourth.
Mr. Daniels Surprised.
Secretnry Daniels' party took to the
bridge to watch the work of naviga:
Hon. Later they inspected the engine
room, the quarters, fire rooms, bunkers
and other parts of the ship. Mr. Dan-

OF GREOT FLEET I

Have Eyes Opened.
iels was plainly surprised at what he
saw and said so.
"I'm a two battleship man, Mr. Sec
retary." said Secretary McAdoo after
tho party hnd been at sea for half an
hour. "Well, it's n beautiful ship," re
plied the secretary of the navy. "I
still think I was right," said Mr. Burle
son. "We've been going ahead too
fast. Still, ns you say, It's a magnifi
cent ship. Let's see how many havo
we like this."
"Ono other," nnswered Lieutenant
Commander Leigh C. Palmer, naval
aid to tho secretary. "Only ono?" said
Mr. Daniels. "Well, well!"
The targets, three of them in tow
of tho Connecticut, the South Carolina
and the Minnesota, wore sighted on tho
hazy southern forizon n few minutes
after 12 o'clock. The big battleships
towing them were barely distinguish
able, and the targets themselves looked
like pinholes in n blanket.
Marksmanship Improving.
"I understand you hit those things
about once out of ten times," said Mr.
Daniels. "We used to," replied Com
mander Carl T. Vogelgesang, "but wo
do better now." Commnnder Charles
F. Hughes, chief of staff, and Pay In
spector Samuel McGowan began to pass
around wads of cotton, nnd members
of tho party stuffed their ears. The
firing was deferred, however, for after
the Wyoming had come about twice
to get the proper range a tramp steam
ship stood in between the battleships,
and the Wyoming slowed down for
half an hour until the Intruder was
safely out of the way.
Secretary Daniels and his party
climbed up to tho searchlight platform,
just abore the bridge, as the turrets
swung to starboard, and the great muz
zles rose menacingly. Ereryhody was
in tense expectancy. Mr. Daniels seiz
ed one of the rods of the basket mast
and held fast. He was just In time,
for one of the guns in the forward tur
ret, which was fired to determine the
range, let go with a terrific crash. The
hot blast of the Unnie and yellow ether
vapor struck the head of the navy full
In the face, but ho only pulled his cap
down over his head and took a grip
with both hands.
Gets a "Genuine Thrill."
The Wyoming nfter firing sorenty
two shots lowered the red firing flag
and steamed over to examine the tar
get, and the North Dakota and tho
Florida, six and eight miles astern, re
peated tho performance on the other
targets.
"I tell you," said Mr. Daniels when
ho descended from the platform, "there
are several times in a man's life when
he gets a genuine thrill his first pair
of red top boots, his first top, his urs-t
girl and a time like this. You see, it's
like this: I'm secretary of the navy
without knowing any more about it
than tho arcrago country editor. So
I'm going to make it a study. One of
the mysteries to me is the wireless."
As he spoko Commander Hughes
handed him a wireless message from
F. D. Roosevelt, assistant secretary of
tho navy. "This is the second wireless
message I ever received. I sent the
first in my life this morning to my
wifo on board tho Mayflower. Tho
first I ever received was when she nn
swered it half an hour later. It seems
wonderful to me."
Later in tho afternoon Lieutenant
Byron McCandless, flag lieutenant,
went over to the Idaho and brought
tho women of the party to the Wyo
ming, which took them back to namp
ton Roads, and all tho party except
Secretary Daniels returned on board
tho Mayflower to Washington.
Mrs. Daniels and Miss Wilson were
especially delighted with tho ships. "1
think we have a regular navy," Miss
Wilson said. The Wyoming's band
entertained tho party with a concert
on the after deck during tho trip back.
With Secretary Daniels on board tho
Wyoming she steamed to sea again and
then acted as illumination ship for
night torpedo practice.
YOUNG EDISON AN INVENTOR.
Ho Designs Bomb For Hostile Ships,
but It Acts Shabbily.
Theodore Edison, tho fourteen-year-old
son of Thomas A. Edison, was ex
perimenting with explosives recently
in an effort to Invent a bomb that
would float about on the -water and ex
plode with tremendous effect whenever
It happened to bo touched by a hos
tile vessel. Friendly vessels would, of
course, avoid touching tho bomb.
To Theodore's mind tho best way to
lhapo up tho dovlco would bo to in
ilose it In an air tight bottlo and put
tho bottle In a casing of cork, so that
it would bo sure not to sink. Ho had
proceeded as far as mixing tho explo
sive and depositing It in tho glass bot
tlo when the exploslvo wont off. The
edoro had tho bottlo in his hand, and
the pieces of glass penetrated the band.
The boy Is not going to suffer per
manently from his wounds, but Mrs.
EJlson has decreed that bis future ex
periments with explosives shall be u,u
ier the supervision of hla father.
BIG PLANE TO GUARD ENGLAND
Colonel Cody Designs Machine to Re
pel Invasion,
Colonel S. F. Cody, tho American
air man, who has become a naturalized
English subject, is preparing to build
an airship destroyer, comparablo with
a torpedo boat destroyer, to protect
England against posslblo Invasion by
foreign airships. He said recently:
"My idea Is to havo an airship de
stroyer in tho same way as you havo a
torpedo destroyer at sea. I have or
dered a machlno of BOO horsepower.
Jt Is difficult to predict exactly what
an aeroplane of that size will do, but I
expect It to be capable of lifting and
carrying 2,500 pounds. Its highest
speed would bo somewhere between
seventy-five and ninety miles an hour.
"Tho machlno to which the engine Is
to bo fitted will bo a Cody biplane of
the same typo as tho one that gained
the war office prize of $25,000. It will
be designed so as to be capable of
guarding the air over England against
Invasion by forelcn airships.
