"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.
