POPPIES WILL DO HONOR TO SOLDIER DEAD

Indianapolis Will Wear Them Memorial Day and Aid French Kiddies.

“In Flanders Fields the poppies grow “Among the crosses —row on row." The poppies are blooming In Handers, flashing the bright colors among the white crosses marking the f'nal resting places of the heroic dead, in America everyone who has benefl and by what these men did —and that means every one —will be asked to wear a replica of these bright Flanders poppies on Memorial Day in memory of those who lie in Flanders fields. The poppies, made of bits of silk, will be sold on the streets that day for the benefit of the children of France. The flowers have been made by these French orphans who will receive the proceeds of their sale. The- movement is being conducted under the auspices of the Ameri-can-Franco Children's .League. HAS APPROVAL OF LEGION. The national headquarters and the State headquarters of the American Legion have approved the work and the women’s auxiliaries are sponsoring it through committees appointed by the State president of auxiliaries, Mrs. J. E. Barcus, and are planning a “tag day’’ over the entire State for next Saturday. Geoveinor Warren T. McCray has given his approval to the movement. In a letter to Mrs. Charles Stewart Vorhees, State chairman of the movement, he says: “It was indeed a beautiful thought upon which is founded the general movement of neing the poppy in commemoratiof of the death of the gallant American boys who gave np their lives upon foreign fields that this country might continue to dwell in peace and security. “RECOGNITION OF unselfish sacrifice.* “Wherever worn, this flower will be a recognition of the bravery and unselfish sacrifice made by those heroic youths who are sleeping under the poppy covered fields of France. “And let us not forget the obligation that rests upon us to care for the wounded and broken who were permitted to return to their beloved native land but whose sacrifice was Just as great and in many cases more pitiful. “Let us therefore reconsecrate ourselves to the furtherance of our obligation to minister to the physical and spiritual comfort of those who served so nobly. Let the wearing of the poppy mean that we not only remember those who made the supreme sacrifice, but all whose condition also demands our present support and attention." POPPY DAT COMMITTEE ROLL.

DANIELS TALKS OF SEA AND AIR CRAFT MERITS (Continued From Page One.)

distances, crossing th ocean and sinking Tesseis in sight of the American coast. Because of this failure it wag not until the war was far advanced that the necessary defensive against the t'-boat was developed. As the submarine was the creation of American brains, so the antidote to It was conceived in America. Now. however the argument as to the continuing value of the dreadnaught may end, there can be no doubt that in the next war—if there should be a next war —the submarine will play a most important role. It will be bigger and more powerful, and capable of discharging more torpedoes. But it will never again be the surprise to an unprepared world which It was in this war. Probably the foremost and most able contender that the day of the dreadnaught It at an end was Admiral Fisher, former first tea lord of Great Britain, who won renown for building the first great •'all-big-gun” ship, and who was the innovator behind many important de velopments in the British navy. “SCRAPPED API, * D READ N'AIC If TS.” Shortly before his death—which occurred only a few months ago—Lord Fisher, who had retired from active service, told the British public, and as much of the world as- cared to listen, that the submarine had scrapped all the dreadnaughts. just as the dreadnaughts drove all prior warcraft Into the naval discard. Sir Percy Scott and other retired officers In Great Britain and America agree with the late Lord Fisher, General Mitchell —or “Admiral”—an army officer who essays to qualify as a naval expert, has advised Congress to spend ail the money at its disposal on big fight-ships of the air. But no lesponsible naval officers charged with maintaining naval efficiency, hare shared these extreme views. An Important question which must be answered before there can be a final settlement of the dispute concerns the probable effectiveness of the airship in attack upon a dreadnaugh? What chance has a dreadnaught of being sunk by bombs dropped from above? On this point as yet we have no reliable data. FAIL TO SINK BATTLESHIP.

Last year the navy tried some experiments in order to test the effect of bombs upon a battleship. We used the Indiana, an antiquated craft without value except for some such demonstration purpose. Bombs were dropped upon her from an airplane. They were loaded udth heavy explosives, and they did, in some cases, pretty serious damage. But they did not sink her. She took the punishment and remained afloat until other bombs, placed under water, exploded with such force that several seams in the ship's bottom were ripped loose. This, however, was no test of what would actually happen in a fight between an airplane and a dreadnaught. The Indiana was anchored, and had no anti-aircraft guns. She made neither an attempt to escape nor to return the fire of her attackers. She merely lay there while aviators circled above her and practiced dropping bombs on her at their leisure. In actual warfare the dreadnaught would be steaming full speed, with probably a zig-iag course. She would be turning anti-aircraft guns on the attacking plane. It is open to question whether the bomb-droppers would make many

hits —or any. Even In the case of the stationary and non-resisting Indiana the percentage of hlta was small. RESULT MAY BE STARTLING. It is this point of what would happen i in actual warfare that will be tried out ; at Hampton 'Roads sometime before next ! July. It may prove to be an epoch makI ing event, and Hampton Roads may establish certain facts which will revolutionize naval warfare as the fight of the Monitor and the Merrimac on that same stretch of water revolutionized It in 1862. One of my last acts as Secretary of the Navy was to direct that certain of the German ships which were turned over to us, and which, under the agreed terms, must be destroyed, should be used in a : series of experiments in which airmen should attempt to destroy them. The Secretary of AVar joined me in ask- ; ing the Joint board of the Army and i Navy to work out plans by which the ; experiment should be conducted in a way ■ to truly test whether the aeroplane bas I put the dreadnaugbt out of business. The 1 plans were perfected, and the test will be made. When I had given the order for this test, the newspaper men asked me if there would be any sailors on the dread naughts when the tests were made. I answered by saying that in a fair test between the surface craft and the aircraft I would volunteer myself and guarantee to put a crew on board the ship. “I do not think those who fought the bomber would be doomed to destruction,’’ I said. “They at least would have a sporting chance." Nobody can predict what the ship of tomorrow will be. We cannot foresee the developments of flight or the full possibilities of the submersible. Every new weapon of destruction calls forth its counter-weapon. SAYS WAIT AND SEE. My own advice would be—if the advice of an “ex” is ever wanted —“Wait until the big experiment is pulled off at Hampton Roads before deciding what the ship of the future is to be. And then—in spite of Lord Fisher’s cocksurenesg that the big ship is beading for innocuous des\ietude—do not scrap any weapon that sails on the sea. dives under the sea or flies in the air. All three are safer than dependence on any one alone. Having discussed this serious and Important problem at some length, let me finish this article by relating two stories told me by Lord Fisher at a banquet which was given in my honor by the Methodists of Great Britain. I have never seen these stories anywhere in print. King Edward had great fondness for Fisher and promoted him to be first sea lord, the summit of every British naval officer’s ambition. “I had not been first lord long,'* Fisher said to me at this dinner, ‘‘when one day King Edward sent for me. Os course, 1 appeared promptly, and, after some talk about naval matters, for the king was keen abont the navy, King Edward suddenly said to me: “‘My appointment of you as first lord has brought me more unpopularity than any act of mine since I became king.* ” KING PICKS WINNER. Lord Fisher paused a moment to let me take It in, for he had the talent of an actor as well as of the good storyteller Naturally I wondered what reply a subject could make to his king who had seemed to regret an honor he had conferred upon him. “What answer did you make?" was the natural question from a man who cultivates informing curiosity. “I didn't hesitate a second and it didn't feaze me in the least. I immediately said to the king: “Your majesty, I congratu'afe yon upon your wisdom in picking a winner.” We were talking about speeches and some good speeches were made at that dinner. Lord Fisher asked me what was the best apeeh I had ever heard. That was a poser. I had only that week heard half a dozen of the greatest speakers in Great Britain and had hardly finished applauding a remarkable speech by Fishe-. I hesitated. He loved to talk—and how entertaining he was—and he continued: BEST HE EVER HEARD. “The best speech I ever heard was made by an American admiral, who as I understand, did not think he could make a speech. I was at Philadelphia at a big dinner, attended by many big men. I was called upon to speak and gave warm praise to the achievements and •tanding of the American Na”y, praising its officers in terms they deserved and expressing the sentiment that the navies of the two great English-speaking nations were doing much to strengthen the friendly feeling between the two countries. “The audience applauded me—and my speech was worth applauding, I can assure you (this with an inimitable smile) and then I sat down. Your Admiral Sampson was the ranking officer of your Navy present. He did not rise and evidently did not intend to speak until several officers by nudges and suggestions conveyed to him the information that he ought to respond to the speech of the British admiral Finally he rose, looked about him for a period as if not knowing wbat to say, and then without preface, Sampson made this brief and brilliant speech: “’Well, all I have to say is this: It was ad fine bird that hatched the American eagle.’ ” And as he told me this Admiral Fisher’s eyes fairly beamed with enthusiasm over what, he repeated, was the best after-dinner speech he had ever heard.
