Navy Seeks Millions for War Needs and Entertainer Volunteers
Secretary Daniels submitted a large navy budget totaling 137 million for guns, ordnance, ammunition, yard improvements, clothing, and a New London land purchase. A separate 105 million establishment request covers ordnance and ship equips, while a 23.4 million yard and dock appropriation is sought. Washington gets 7.5 million for a gun factory expansion and 5 million for the navy yard. The Federal Public Health Service asks 559 thousand for quarantine barracks and 3.9 million for disease control with returning soldiers. In Washington, Elizabeth Howry opens new committee offices to recruit top entertainers to perform for soldiers in training, with trials and rehearsals under way. The committee seeks first-class volunteers as the national army plans to expand in September.
