Secretary Denby Tells
Jackies to Beware of
Slick Soviet Agencies
Washington.—Secretary of the Navy
Denby served blunt warning Tuesday
on officers and men of the navy to
guard themselves “ashore and afloat
from preachings of soviet ism, commun
ism, and anarchy,” through an order
to the service which declared no
leniency would be shown to men who
“committed acts of disloyalty.”
“The order arose,” he said, because
his attention had been called to a “sin
ister propaganda by societies having
their origin in foreign countries to un
dermine the morale of the navy and to
insinuate into it personal elements of
uisioyaity auu uisuruer.
“I have the most profound codGdenee
in the loyalty and devotion to their
country of the commissioned and en
listed men of the United States naval
forces,” the order continued. “I have
no fear that men in any considerable
number may at any time anywhere be
seduced from their alliance to their
country’s flag.
“I fear only that some few of our
men may be induced, innocently at
first, when on shore, to join societies
having for their purpose advancement
of ideas contrary to our form of gov
ernment or w’hich may result in law
lessness.
“I am trying by this warning to save
a few individuals who might otherwise
affiliate themselves with societies seek
ing those things which cannot be toler
ated in an organization sworn to uphold
the.constitution of the United States
and to obey all lawful orders. Should
there be any such men in the navy, it
is almost certain if they do not disen
tangle themselves from affiliation with
such organizations they ultimately will
be detected.
•‘I am trying to lessen the number of
prisoners in neval prisons. I could not
hope to show leniency, however, to
any man who, in combination or alone,
in violation of his oath, committed acts
of disloyalty to his country.
“Because I have been one of you, I
know all men have their periods of un
happiness, ‘of imagined ill treatment,
of homesickness and discontent. Such
periods come to civilians as well as to
men in the naval service. They are a
part of life.
“The world is full of false thought.

I would save that serviee of which our
country is so proud and of which I hap
pen to be at the moment the head,
from the hurtful intluence of improper
theories of government or false dreams
of a better state to be created by an
archy and violence.”
U. S. Conscience Fund
Swelled By Summer
Washington.—Summer is having its
effect on guilty consciences, according
to treasury officials, who have an
nounced the recent receipt of five do
nations to the “conscience fund.”
The receipts consisted of a two-cent
stamp from an Iowa town, $25 in cash
from “an old soldier” from another
point in Iowa, $1 in cash from Indian
apolis, $10 in cash from Troy. N. Y.,
and a $20 money order from Memphis,
Tonn.
From time to time money is sent to
the treasury with or without explana
tion as to the reason for its return to
the Government, and is turned over to
the treasurer for the general fund.
