GRAFT SYSTEM IS ALLEGED IN NAVALRESERVE Investigation of Graft in Third Naval System Ordered by Daniels.

(Br Associated Preaa.1 NEW YORK, Feb. 19. Arrests on charges of bribery and graft in the .personnel of the Third Naval District have been made following an investigation ordered by Secretary Daniels, the New York evening Post says. The Post quotes Secretary Daniels as saying that the Investigation indicates "that money was paid for assignments and promotions in the service and discbarges from the. service." ... It is charged that a system of bribery of minor officials of the district, with particular reference to the naval reserve force, has been operating. The investigation by the Secretary of the Navy was ordered, it was said, after he had consulted with Rear Ad miral Nathaniel R. Usher, in command of the district, who is described as preferring that any Investigation that was undertaken, should be made by some one outside the district. Special Investigator Sent. The Investigator Is a member of the staff of the Judge Advocate's office in Washington. . The Evening Post says it is reported that "approximately $500,000 was expended in payment for special favors granted to individuals In the service." Many men, it is declared, were apparently admitted to the navy and the naval reserve to escape being drafted Into the army. The physical standards for the navy and the naval resedves were higher than for the army. It is explained in this connection, and some men who were found physically unfitted for service in the navy or naval reserve, were nevertheless admitted when they made payments of money.

The league promises little guarantee for future peace, he asserted, when those who drafted its' constitution have "not been able to restore present peace or set up orderly government in central Europe and Russia." Under provisions of the constitutions providing for mandatories for colonial territories, Senator Poindexter said the United States would be required to "undertake, practically unsolicited and unsought" to extend our responsibilities and cares to the uttermost parts of the earth. While taking up the obligations of government in Asia, Africa and Europe, the United States he said, would surrender "to Asia, Africa and Europe, American policies which have been the prize jewels in the American diadem of state." Declaring that the emergencies of the past which necessitated assertion of the principles of the Monroe doctrine may arise in the future, Senator ' Poindexter said he hoped the American people had not reached the point where they were willing that "the high ideals of these traditional doctrines would be left to the administration of an alien tribunal established under the league of nations."
