TV70 U.S. FLEETS WILL BE FORMED BY NEXT SUMMER

Atlantic and Pacific Fleets to "Keep Navy on Toes, Says Daniels. WASHINGTON. Jan. 2. To t keep the navy "fit and on its toes." two treat fleets, one based on the Pacllic coast and the other on the Atlantic coast, will be established by next summer, with war games and Joint maneuvers, as a part of the regular program of training. ' Secretary Daniels in explaining his plana to the House naval committee

yesterday, said that arter every wax , there is a tendency for the navy to retrograde and that the fleet division has been determined upon to prevent slump. The plan, he said, had received the endorsement of Admlrlal William S. Benson, chief of operations, who is now in Europe with the peace delegation. "An admiral who can stay Ions enough to stir up 'ambition' will be placed in command of each fleet," Mr. Daniels said, "and all officers will be kept on their ships for two years." In effect, the secretary added, "there will be a war between the Atlantic and Paclflo fleets which will so stimulate the keenness that it will make the men feel they are in actual war." Combined Fleet to Maneuver. Mr. Daniels did not indicate to the eommltto how many ships will be in each fleet. It is assumed, however, that there will be an equal distribution of the capital ships, most of which, heretofore have been kept on the Atlantic coast. During Joint maneuvers the combined fleet wll visit each coast so as to give the peopto on the Atlantic and Pacific seaboard an opportunity to se the full navy force. Mr. Daniels also told the committee

f that during peace times the subma

rine bases at San Diego. Cal., Key West, Flu., and New London, Conn., will be retained. The principal training stations for seamen in the east will be at Chicago, Hampton Roads and Newport. It. I. Secretary Daniels and Admiral Benson plan to visit th Pacific coast next summer to study conditions there with a view to recommending extension of the navy yards, while other officials will visit Eastern yards for the same purpose.

RISKS LIFE TO KISS 1 BLARNEY STONE

(By Associate Press) LONDON, Jan. 2. Peter McGulro, sometimes of San Francisco, now of the United States Navy, Imperilled his neck for the right to, tell his admiring friends at home, "I've kissed the Blarney Stone." McGuire was a member of a party of American sailors conducted by the Young Men's Christian Association to Blarney Castle. "It's a bit of a drop," said Pete, after he had climbed to the top of the castle wall and looked down a sheer one hundred and ten fet. "It's by adding a little sport to tho game." 'Fete watched other Yankee blueJackets kiss the Blarney Stone. Tho approved method Is for a strong man to grasn the candidate's left leg and arm, while another grasps his right leg and arm, then they swing him out over the abyss as far as they can reach and let the intrepid one bounco his nose against the scarcely attainable rock, call it a kiss, and let it fo at that. . Not so McGuire. He knew he couirl reach out over the ledge and kiss tho Blarney Stone acrosB tho way without ap sistsr.ee. As he had almost attained his gflff'. ho lost his balance and started doa the one hundred and ten feet

BtraHsht through the air.

.The keeper descended by a safer route intending to rick up the dead American sailor. What he saw wa3 McGuire rubbing himself and pointing heavenward with a Bort of sheepish grin. ;The keeper saw where McGuire after falling sixty feet hit well out on s tree limb and broke it off. Below that was another bough to which he had caromed, and below still another, also breaking the fall so that the last dron of fifteen feet was very minox. The custodian became very angry. "What do you mean?" said he, "breakIng ofT the limbs of tho trees. Don't you see that sign? 'Do Not Injure the Shrubbery'."
