ALLIES FAILED IN ALLOWING SUBS OUTLET America and Other Powers Guilty of Naval Errors in War. JELLICOE’S * MISTAKE ’ The chief allied naval error of the war—On both sides of the Atlantic In come things hindsight proved better than foresight—United States should have concentrated on construction of destroyers in 1915—1s criticism of JelUcoe justified?—Outstanding failure of the war was not to hare shut the submarines up in their nests earlier. By JOSEPHUS DANIELS, Former Secretary of the Navy. ARTICLE 19. After every war one can look back and see that somewhere there was lack of foresight, somewhere there was wanting vision translated into action, somewhere there was failure to grasp anew and daring plan which might have turned defeat into victory or have hastened the day of peace. When one reflects upon the zeal, courage and success of the British navy in freeing the seven sea3 from German traffle, one is filled with admiration for its spirit and achievements. But it made mistakes, as we, and all the other navies, did. Over on this side of the ocean what waa our chief naval error? It was that we lacked the foresight In 1915-16, largely because we did not have the Information which was kept from neutrals, to concentrate upon the building of destroyers to the exclusion of larger ships. To be sure, we were utilizing before the t'nited States entered the war every available facility for the building of destroyers. MORE DESTROYERS WERE NEEDED. The great three-year program proposed by me in 1915 and voted by Congress In 1916 embraced fifty destroyers to be constructed in three years, along with sixteen capital chips and ten scout cruisers. Looking back upon that program, it la clear now, taking advantage of what we learned during the war, that It would have been wiser to have delayed contracting for so many capital ships, and built hundreds of destroyers, the craft most effective against submarines. Our ship construction program during the war Included approximately a thousand vessels. Thl9 In addition to the 1,517 ships converted for naval purposes. There was no delay In pressing work on destroyers. Immediately after Congress authorized the three-year program, contracts were made for the twenty authorized the first year, as well as for twenty-seven submarines, four battleships, four battle cruisers and other vessels. In March, 1917, before we entered the war. as soon as funds were available, twenty-four more were ordered: additional orders were given as rapidly as the contracts could be placed and by the middle of October we were building or had contracted for 270.

ALL RKCORDS WERE BROKEN. Millions had to be spent for new facilities to build them—enlargement of old shipyards, building of giant new plants. It was a great job, but we broke all records In rapid construction when we struck our gait. The House Naval Committee, after thorough Investigation, said in Its report made March 4, 1918: "When It came to building additional destroyers, especially those of the large program, it was found that the shipbuilding facilities of the country were fully absorbed with the vessels then under construction and it would be necessary to create new facilities. The plans adopted required more than doubling the capacity available last summer for building destroyers, and that capacity was materially greater than before the war. In spite of speed In construction, these vessels are not being alighted in workmanship or appliances.’’ EXPERTS DIDN’T SEE IT. Looking back, I wished every day during the war that when we began the big naval expansion. In 1915, we had asked Congress for the money to build 300 destroyers at that time. By concentration in 1915-16 we would hrave had most of them ready In the first mouths of the war. It is a fact, however, that no naval expert and nobody in Congress suggested omitting the capital ships and pushing the big destroyer program we began in the stress of war. Across the seas what was the great naval error of our allies? Some of the ablest writers declare that It was the tactics of Admiral Jellicoe at the battle of Jutland. The admiral had written a most Interesting boob undertaking to show that his method of fighting the battle was right, when all the conditions are considered. The admiral is a brave and Earned officer, and a gentleman of charm and real stuff, but he made the mistake of his life -jvhen he wrote his story of the grand fleet. “CONFESSION AND AVOIDANCE." I read It on my way to Europe in March, 1919, and began It with a feeling that Admiral Jellicoe had been harshly and unjustly treated by the critic*. But, when I had read the last chapter, my feeling was the same as that of a distinguished Britisher whom I met a few weeks later and who said to me: ‘‘For his own reputation Jellicoe ought not to have written that book. At the best It Is a plea of confession and avoidance." The basis for this opinion lies In the fact that the admiral charges his failure to win a decisive victory to the superiority of the Germans In certain material (and to the low visibility that prevailed; whereas the admiralty had told the world that In this very mjterlal Great Britain excelled all other nations-and Jellicoe had directed Its material division. Commander Bellalrs, M. P., may be too severe In his criticism of Admiral Jelli(Contlnued on Page Three.)

COAL MEN SEEK TO QUASH THE INDICTMENTS Arraignment Day in Federal Court Finds Defendants Ready to Fight. FEW ARE NONRESIDENTS As was expected, conusel for thirty Indiana coal operators, fourteen miners and officials of the United Mine Workers, three retailers and a large number of companies filed motions attacking tho sufficiency of the indictment when the rases were called In Federal Court today before Judge Ferdinand A. Geiger. In February the Federal grand Jury returned Indictments against 220 coal operators, miners, retailers and companies charging violation of the Sherman anti-trust law and Judge Anderson set today as arraignment day. However, practically all defendants living outside Indiana are resisting removal to Indiana for trial, and with the exception of Philip Murray of Pittsburgh, I*a., vice president of the United Mine Workers, all defendants to appear in court today are residents of this State. MINERS' COUNSEL OUTLINES PROCEDURE. W. A. Glasgow of Philadelphia, who bag succeeded Charles Evans Hughes as chief counsel for the miners, filed a motion to quash the indictments again>t his clients and asked leave to file a brief before the ease Is set down fori oral argument. lie also announced that he Is prepared to fils a demurrer and pleas to bar when the proper time comes. The request was agreed to by L. Ert Slack, special assistant to the attorney general, and was granted by Judge Geiger, subject to the approval of Judge Anderson or the Judge who eventually handles the case. Similar motions were filed for th# operators by Frank Dailey of the firm of Miller, Dailey & Thompson, and Charles IV. Miller of the firm of Miller & Dowling. Mr. Dailey also entered special appearances and filed pleas in abatement for Morton L. Gou’d and Bernard R. Batty, and a motion to quash the service In the case of the Indiana and Illinois Coal Company. Clarence Nichols filed demurrers for William Morris and Charles W. Grant, I.ogansport retailers, and Roy A. Yeagley, secretary of the Indiana Retail Coal Merchants’ Association. Albert Fink of Chicago filed a motion to quash the service against a number of companies. CONTENTION

OF MOTIONS. It is contended in the motions to quash that the Sherman anti-trust law under which these Indictments were brought was suspended by the passage of the Lever net during the war, and If i there was any violation of any law it "as I of the Lever and not the Sherman act. After receiving the motions Judge i Geiger adjourned court until 2 o'clock !to give Mr. Slack an opportunity to check up the list of defendants represented by counsel, and the court Indicated that If all defendants affected are represented thnt no further action will be taken at this time. It is not believed that there will be any steps in the case beyond those taken today until after the return of Judge Anderson to the bench. DEFENDANTS IN COURT.

Wife Murders Doctor; Office Girl Is Gone Slayer Held Under Heavy Bond — JV hereabouts of Pretty ‘Cause* Mystery. CHICAGO, May 3.—Mrs. Lillian Rowland was arraigned In police court here today on a charge -of murder-—the slaying of her husband, Dr. Thomas J. Rowland. Dr. Rowland was shot to death In his apartment early yesterday. Beside Mrs Rowland when she faced the court was Mrs. Nellie Malloy, mother of Julia Irene Malloy, tho 19-year-old office assistant, who Is the third character In the ‘'triangle I .’ that Is believed to have been responsible for the slaying of Dr. Rowland. It Is declared'that Dr. Rowland and Miss Malloy had been intimate for several years. Mrs. Malloy, mother of the girl, said she would stand by Mrs. Rowland and do ail she could to help her. Mrs. Rowland, according to the police, has confessed she shot her husband when he attempted to attack her during a quarrel. She was held In bonds of SIO,OOO and a continuance ordered until Thursday to await the outcome of the coroner’s Inquest. Irene Malloy, the "new love for old" in the Rowlaud murder rase, was missing today. Police rushed to the apartment of Dr. j Rowland, $35,000 a-year specialist, when cries of his wife were beard. The doctor was found on the floor shot and the wife barricaded In a room. The story of the doctor's Infatuation for Irene Malloy was brought to light by the tragedy. This is the story of the gllrl's mother: “Iyene was a pretty 10 year-old girl, and a good girl when she started to work for him three years ago. I first became* suspicious when Irene came home and told me the doctor gave her a dollar tip for every SIOO he took in. “It wasn't her fault. We were poor. He offered her everything, trips to Honolulu, fine clothes, diamond rings, every- \ thing that efery girl yearns for. “I told him he was ruining my daughter. Ho wouldn't listen to me. "Finally I went to Mrs. Rowland and asked her to influence her husband to stop playing with my daughter. "Then Irene left home —I haven't seen her since.” It is the police theory that demands of Mrs. Rowland upon the doctor to give up the girl caused the quarrel that ended In a tragedy.

BATTLE LINES REALIGNED IN CHEST DRIVE New Plan Is Expected to Accomplish Greater Results. WOMEN WORKING HARD Realignment of the Community Chest battle lines were announced this morning at headquarters In the Claypool Hotel, and the attack to complete the SSOO. 000 fund for forty Institutions of relief and character building will be renewed with Increased inspiration at tomorrow's noonday conference and luncheon. Five meu's and two women s divisions will be thrown into the mile square dis trict under eadershlp of the citizens committee, of which Edgar H. Evans is chair man. These workers will canvass all business houses and residences in the ter rltory. Five men's divisions will be assigned to the Industrial section under direction of George Desautels and Walter C Johnson, and cooperation of employers will be sought to establish contact with workers. “The magnificent record of the workers of Indianapolis during war-time drives la not expected again," Campaign Director Dreshman said today "We know that altered conditions will not permit that splendid generosity, but we feel Jhe emplojes of the clty'i* industries will welcome opportunity now as then to do what they can to help the needed Institutions of Indianapolis. "I want to again stress*the point that the budget under which we are working does not provide for expansion or for building plans. The institutions which will participate in the s,'>oo,ooo have pared down their estimates to actual requirements for efficient operation. Because of this and because the Indianapolis per capita Is less than half that of other cities where economic conditions are aa they are here the citizens’ committee, the industrial section leaders and the loyal women who are responding to the rali of Mrs. Harry Griffith, chairman of that division, are more confident than ever of success.” But $140,000 remains to be raised to complete the half million required. The amount must he raised by Saturday. On account of the primaries the campaign has been somewhat slowed up. Mrs. Griffith established headquarters in Parlor B nt the Claypool today and Immediately sent out a call for one woman representative of each of the forty Institutions to b at tomorrow's conference at noon In tie Rl’.ey room.

‘ Explanation ’ of Adj. Gen. Harris to Congressional Committee , WASHINGTON, May 3 —Grover Cleveland Bergdoll, the wealthy young Philadelphia slacker, wanted some mure money while he was serving a prison term at Ft. Jay as a deserter from the army, so he was permitted to go got It. This was the only explanation offered today by P. C. Harris, adjutant general of the army, as to why Bergdoll was allowed to leave prison In search of a “pot of gold” which be hnd told officials he had burled In the mountains. General Harris was the first witness cnlled when the congressional Investigating committee resumed Its session. The adjutant general toiu :-ke committee he really knew very little about Bergdoll, “as there was some thousands of other cases of draft evaders." He did know, however, he said, that Bergdoll and hls attorneys were extremely confident that he would be freed on technical grounds. Representative Johnson (Kentucky) asked General Harris if he knew Bergdoll was wealthy and was using hls wealth to evade arrest. “Did It occur to you why he wanted this "hidden gold?’” “Well, I suppose naturally that he needed some more money,” Harris replied. “Did It occur to you he might want it to bribe with.?” Johnson asked. “I knew very little of the Bergdoll case at that time,” Harris said. Harris stated that this was his first experience with an escaped prisoner, and that he was not familiar with all the agencle’s such as the military intelligence which he might have called on. It developed that one of Bergdoll’s counsel was Harry Weinberger, who, It was stated, had been counsel for Emma Goldman and other soviet deportees. Harris received a letter from Weinberger shortly before Bergdoll’s escape asking for permission for Bergdoll to remain at Ft. Jay, N. Y., pending an appeal in Bergdoll’s behalf. $162 Tires Stolen Two automobile tires, valued at $162.70, were reported stolen from a tire company at 650 North Meridian street by W. 0.

Continued cold and cloudy weather caused polltlclas generally to estimate this afternoon that tha total vote cast Iff today’s 'primary election probably will not exceed 40,000. Pre-primary predictions ranged from 45,000 to 50,000. Supporters of Samuel Lewis Shank were well satisfied with tha weather because it apparently was bolding back the vote In a great many districts In which Edward J. Robison and Mr. Thomas C.

While Mr. Shank’s vote on tho south side undoubtedly also Is being affected by the weather, his workers were claiming that the voters got out much earlier In the south wards and voted much heavier all through the SUNDAY GIVES ILLUSTRATION OF VEHEMENCE Delivers Sermon at Tabernacle in His Characteristic Style. LANDS KEEN THRUSTS Pounding the floor with hls fists, standing on a chair, wilting hls collar Into a limp rag, Billy Sunday went through hls famous motions In delivering a sermon at the Gipsy Smith tabernacle last night. Sunday took for hls sermon a text from First Peter, third chapter, fifteenth verse: “Be always ready to give an answer to any one who asketh you to give a reason for the hope that is In you.” "Hope springs eternal In the human heart," he said. "Even the suicide has the hope that he can get away from the Jeers of the world. Even Ingersoll recognized there was something he could not fathom that gave him hope. “There Is only one hope that can cheer us when the hours are darkest. Riches and power can not give you this hope. The rich sigh as well as the poor. The hearse backs up to the mansion as well as to the hovel. They all long for the sound of the voice which Is still and the touch of the hand which Is dust. PREFERS STANDING ROOM IN HEAVEN. “I would rather have standing room In Heaven than own tbs whole world and go to hell.” Sunday told hls andlence that "out of the cornucopia of Heaven God pours Hls gifts and It doesn't make any difference whether you have your clothes tailormade or buy them at a mail order house, you are an ungrateful wretch.” "The world Is going crazy for the rest of the soul,” he said. "If the present rate of insanity keeps on, In 215 years every man. woman and child In the world will be nuts. "Everybody Is trying to siphon something out of somebody else. If somebody offers you a proposition that will pay 40 per cent you know it's a fake. None of these lobsters is lying awake at night trying to figure out how to make you 35 cents.

morning than did the citizens of the north side. Reports that the organization of Mr. Robison had gone to pieces during the night were proved false as the day wore on and the candidate continued to be represented by a lively corps of workers in every precinct. It was repeatedly rumored that William H. Jackson (Big Jack) and Henry Fleming, Robison's two negro aces, had deserted him and gone over to Mr. Shank, but this was emphatically denied at Robison headquarters. HOM E WORKERS CAUSE FIRST ARREST OF DAY. The first arrest of the day was caused by over-zealous Howe supporters when they sent George Boucher, 119 North West street, to police headquarters with an affidavit charging him with fraudulent voting. Sergeant Simon, police turnkey, refused to slate Boucher and his decision was upheld by City Judge Walter Pritchard after the election board sheriff had declined to file charges against him. The trouble arose when Boucher, who was a Democrat, asked for a Republican ballot In the Sixth precinct of the Fifth ward.
