"That is not the language of boast-
ing," Mr. Daniels says in describing
thie navy. "It is the prophesy and
pledge of our service with those fight-
ing in a common cause.
"During peaceful years the navy
has been quietly but steadily perfect-'
Ing itself to meet the time of war. Now
the hour for which it has been prepar-
ing has arrived. Our sword is drawn,
and no one will dispute that the blade
is keen, and free from rust and its
temper true.
Preparing Night and Day
"In the navy we have prepared for
and have met the duties of the pres-
ent; we are preparing for and are con-
fident we will be able to meet any call
for greater duties, for more ex-
acting responsibilities. The best way
to secure enduring peace is to pre-
pare unceasingly, night and day, for
the winning of the war, whether it
be long or short. This we have done;
we are doing, and this we will con-
tinue to do."
Striking Expansion Shown
Striking figures contained in the re-
port showing the war expansion of
the navy include the following:
Since Jan. 1, 1917, our naval force
has increased from 4,500 officers and
68,000 men to 15,000 officers and 254,-
000 men; the number of stations of
all kinds operated by the navy has in-
creased from 130 to 363; the number
of civil employees from 35,000 to 60,-
000; the strength of the Naval Reserve
from a few hundred to 49,246 men; the
average monthly expenditure from
$8,000,000 to $60,000,000; the number
of ships in commission from a little
pnore than 300, to more than 1,000; the
hospital corps from 1,600 to 7,000; the
national naval volunteers from zero
to 16,000 men; the Marine Corps from
344 officers and 9,921 men to 1,197 of,
ficers and 30,000 knen.
In addition to this and to the vast
orders for material placed, the expan-
sion of the air service and to many
wholly new activities developing from
war conditions, training facilities have
been provided for 113,650 men, exclu-
sive of the Naval academy and other
regular service schools.
Asks Increased Personnel
The secretary asks that the perma-
nent enlisted personnel be increased
to 129,000 bluejackets, 10,000 apprentice
seamen, 7,000 men in the trade schools,
and 4,000 for the air service. For
war purposes he asks that the figures
be 180,000 bluejackets, 24,000 appren-
tices, 14,000 in trade schools, and 10,000
The first shipment of sophomore
hats at Indiana university has arrived
and is being displayed on the campus.
The hats are in the shape of helmets,
similar to rooters' hats, and the col-
ors are navy blue and orange.
Only DePauw students who-regis-
tered under the draft law last June
vill receive credit for their semester's
work in case they withdraw to enlist.
No credit will be given students who
volunteer and are not accepted.
Better training in English is requir-
ed of all medical students in the Uni-
versity of California hereafter. Be-
ginning August, 1919, one year of Eng-
lish literature and English composi-
tion, representing three hours a week
done as undergraduate work, will be
specified for matriculation in the med-
ical school.
Dean L. E. Sayre of the University
of Kansas reports a great demand for
pharmacists in the state to fill the
vacancies which are occurring.
"If there were any pharmacists
available they could easily find posi-
tions at the present time," said Dean
Sayre, "but very few men can be se-
cured."
Grinnell college has adopted modern
simplified spelling, using 226 words in
the simplified manner in its official
publications.
DePauw fraternities and sororities
-will soon kno* if they are
required to pay a 1 per cent
tax on all dues and member-
ship fees when these are in excess
of $12 per year. The internal revenue
department at Washington has not
yet made a ruling on the matter, but
the DePauw Daily has sent to head-
quarters for information.
