BRILLIANT PART OF WAVY IN WAR TOLDJTREPORT Accomplished Seemingly Impossible, Says Daniels Work cf Marines is Praised.

(By Associated Press) WASHINGTON. Dec. 9. With a story of brilliant achievements of the American navy in the war, Secretary Daniels couples, in his annual report made public today, an urgent recommendation for continued naval expansion to meet the demands of peace for national and international .work on the fiea. The Secretary tells in brief phrases of the navy's part in the war, of tht doing of the Eeemingly impossible through teamwork. Ho speaks of the mighty accomplishment of transporting two million men to France, without the loss of an eastbound troop ship through enemy action, and he devotes a graphic chapter to the Marine Brigade, which as all the world knows blocked the last Prussian advance on Paris, and started the German retreat that ended with the war. This reference to the future concludes the report: "The day is not far distant when the world will witness an end of competitive building between nations of the mighty weapons of war. In the peace treaty there will undoubtedly be incorporated President Wilson's proposal for a reduction of armament 'to the lowest point consistent with domestic safety.' "Navies will still be needed as an international police force to compel compliance with the decree of an international tribunal which will be set up to decide differences between nations. Naval vessels will have large peace tasks of survey and discovery ami protection in addition to poMce duty of an international as well as of a national character. Biggest Part for U. S. "Inasmuch as the United States is the richest of the great nations and lins fuffered lesB in war than any of the allied powers, it will devolve upon this country to make a contribution to the navy to preserve tho peace of the world commensurate with its wealth, its commerce, its growing and expanding merchant rra"ir.o. and its leadership in the council of freo people." As concrete evidence of what was accomplished, the report shows that on October 1 thcro were 338 United States naval shirs abroad with 6,000 officevs and 70,000 enlisted men, or a greater force than the total strength of the Navy whn war was declared; while the American fighting craft has steamed m average of 626,000 miles per month in the war zone. This did not include the cruisers and battleships on escort duty. Of the first destroyers to po over the Porter steamed 61,473 miles, the Connyngham 63,052 and the Davta 63,015. Tho major naval operation of the war so far as tho United Statea is concerned is given as the convoying of more than 2,000,000 troops to Europe without the Ioks by enemy action of a singlo wrt.ccunrt transport. Writing with pride of the record of Ihe murine brigade in France, the secretary shows that with only 8,000 of the corps engaged, the casualties numbered C9 officers and 1,531 men dead, 76 officers and 2,435 men seriously wounded, while but 57 marines are officially reported as captured by the inerny, illustrating the desperate character of the fighting in which the brigade rarticipatf d, and, the fact that it was always advancing. "To the United States Marines," Mr. Daniels says, "fighting side by side with equally brave and equally courngeous men in the American army, to that faithful sea and land force of the navy, fell the honor of taking over the lines where the blow of the Prussian would strike the hardest, the line that was nearest Paris, and where, should a breech occur, all would be lost." The report also pay tribute to the patriotic cooperation the department hss received from shipbuilders, mu

nition manufacturers and the heads of all the allied industries. Preso 13 Prsised. The secretary holds much of this satisfactory condition to have been due to the "loyal cooperation of the heads of the American Federation of Labor." Mr. Daniels expresses appreciation of the work done by George Creel, chairman of the Committe on Public Information, and has this to say of the American press: "The most intimate relationship between Mr. Creel and the department has been productive of genuine cooperation in a service that was new in ourv country and not easy to carry out successfully. The spirit, of the press, which patriotically responded to the appeal for voluntary censorship, can not be too highly commended."

Madge Bellamy in "PoUyanna" Tonight Plays that count, like books, people, and other thing3 of unusual value, in our scope of living, do not come close enough together for us to overlook the fact. If it were so one of the great Joys of the world would be missed that which comes from the feel of the spirit of a richer mind and heart. Coming tonight to the Murray, there is a play that justifies this consideration. It speaks the language of the heart which has no creed, class or condition, and none, young or old, grave or gay, can be so dull of sight or hearing as to miss its glad message. Seldom, if ever, does one leave a theatre with eyes and thoughts for the lovelier and beter things of life that follows the Joy of this performance. It gives us the flesh and blood expression of Pollyanna, the beautiful character and story born in the imagination of Eleanor H. Porter, and now so well known and lived in every household. The pivotal character is a young girl whos heart sings from the Joy of living, and never loses its note of gladness whatever comes ber way to sadden. The Interpreting company will be headed by Miss Madge Bellamy, the youngest leading lady on the American stage, that of Pollyanna Whittier, and prominent in her support will be Gordon Johnstone, George Lindsey, John Webster, Fanchin Campbell, Katherine Rober, Helen Weatherby, Master Thomas Deely and others.
