MILLIONS MORE ARE ASKED TO EXPAND NAVY Rapidity of Destroyer Building Enables Daniels to Award New Contracts.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. Congress was asked by Sec. Daniels Tuesday for $230,977,152 to further expand the navy's great building program, provide for more ordnance and ammunition, rover additional pay for an expansion of the marine corps from 30.000 to 50,000 men and meet other expenses not. contemplated in this year's naval appropriation bill. Of the total $100,000,000 is for additional construction and to speed up construction now under way. Mr. Daniels Paid most of this amount would be spent for vessels "smaller than cruisers." and explained that the unparal

leled rapidity with which some yards were turning out destroyers made it possible to place more contracts for the boats than had bee thought possible. About a dozen new contracts already have been placed, half of the number going to the Mare Island Navy Yard, which recently launched a destroyer 60 per cent complete four months after her keel was laid. More "Chasers" Planned. Some of the money will be spent for more of the "chaser-destroyers," being built by Henry Ford in his Detroit plant. The secretary announced that the navy contemplated doubling the capacity of the l'elham Bay (New York) naval training station to 20,000 men. Most of the $12,000,000 asked for training stations would be spent on the l'elham Bay and llamptou Roads stations. ' The secretary asks an increase of $25,000 in the limit of cost of submarines authorized in the naval act of 1910. Supplemental estimates for the next fiscal year include reserve ordnance suppliesr, $17,000,000 in addition to $3:1,000,00(1 ; previously estimated, ammunition for vessels, $5,000,000 in addition to $32.fi86,120; New batteries for ships of the navy, $10,000,000 addition; for an advance to some railroad to build a line from Washington to the naval proving ground at Indian Head, Md., $300,000; pay of the navy, $16.10S,S12 in addition to $213,220,557; navy provisions, $11,497,500 in addition to $04,485,000; maintenance of Bureau of Supplies and Accounts, $5,000,000 in addition to $12,000,000; 4'lothing and small stores fund, $27.000,000; additional quartermaster's department of Marine Corps, $22,261,000 la additioa to $30,000,000.

View the reckless spending of money as criminal and shun the company of the reckless spender.

Revised Order Does Not Permit Soldies to Be Given Liquor in Homes WASHINGTON, Feb. 21. The army regulations forbidding the sale or gift of intoxicating liquor to officers or men in uniform was not modified, according to Secretary of War Baker, by the recent order of Maj. Gen. John Biddle, acting chief of staff, except to the extent that persons living within prohibited areas are permitted to serve liquor to members of their families, relatives and bona fide guests in their own homes except men in uniform. "Gen. Biddie s order could not change the prohibition against the sale or gift of liquor to men in uniform," Secretary of War Baker said. "That Is statutory. The plain meaning of the law is to keep liquor away from the uniformed forces. "The only purpose of Gen. Biddle's

order was to restore to persons living within prohibited areas the right to serve liquor in their own homes to bona fide guests, if they so desire. "Only to this extent was the original order modified. If Gen. Biddle's order is construed as meaning that liquor may be served in private homes to soldiers immediate steps will be taken to correct that impression. If it is abused, effective steps will be taken to stop the abuses." Mr. Baker intimated strongly that if Gen. Biddle's order is abused by

persons living within "dry" areas In the vicinity of army training camps, it promptly will be rescinded.' Under the original order the sale of liquor to officers and enlisted men in uniform was prohibited only outside of the dry zones, and bootleggers and unscrupulous liquor dealers were enabled to evade the law without violating It technically.
