Disarmament Conference Ahead and Incl
dents Of Last Fall Behind.
Vast Amounts for New Warships
and the Fertilization of Wei
Hal Wei, but the Estimates
Simply the Embodiment Of the
Feelings Of Peace-Loving,
Determined Nation"

LONDON. March Elm introducing
The naval estimates in the House of
Commons to-day. the First Lord Ad-
miralty, the Right Hon. George j.
Goschen, said that never had estimates
been submitted under more unique. cir
cumstances. Ahead was the conference
for International disarmament, while
behind We're the incidents of last No
vember, and While a comparison of the
naval strength of the various countries
was in every mouth. the most striking
confidence was shown in British pre-
paredness to meet all emergencies.
The continental Powers he further
said. We're disturbed by the allegation
that Great Britain was preparing with
u particular purpose for aggressive ac
ton but the Minister asserted that the
idea rever entered the mind of the
Government.
Mr.. Goschen said her majesty's gov
ernlnenr proposed to make Wei Hal Wei
(the war port on the northern coast of
the Shan Tun peninsula) secondary
naval base, pointing out that it would
be a most valuable anchorage and of
the greatest Importance in any opera
tions in Chinese waters and adding that
st was proposed to expend 81. 100000 on
Wei Hal Wei during the present year
and II 100000 next year.
Continuing. Mr.. Goschen informed
the House that the personnel of the
navy for the coming year would be
Increased by 4 $50 men, making total
of 110,640, at cost of IA. 4T4. 900.
Comparing the pay of the personnel,
Mr. Goschen said that while Great Bri-
tain paid f7.000000 and France f3,-
600 coo, Russia only paid f445,0 900. He
could not understand how that was,
but that was all the estimates re-
vealed.
Referring to shipbuilding, he said the
coming program had been framed after
consideration of the programs of the
other Powers. A study of these pro-
grams. he pointed out, was not reassur~
ing The United States. Russia, France,
<Iaua1,. Italy and Germany had under
'coustruction 6S5, 000 tons of warships,
or 225. 600, tons more than was con-
formulated in the present estimates.
This had forced the Government to
draw up a new program. Excluding
last wears supplemental program, it
provided for. two ironclads. two arm
ored and three smaller cruisers Of
specially high speed.

first service was with the 10th Infantry in
Texas where he remained from 1882 to

DDS of Feeding the Army.
Major E. E. bravo. commiSsary of sub
sistence of the department Of the gulf has
made report in regard to matters in his
charge, In which he crticises present meth
DDS of feeding the army, and suggests sew
eral radical changes.
THE military operations OF the past
year." he says, have to my mind, demon
strated that the responsibility for the
proper feeding of our army is too greatly
divided. For instance, the subsistence de-
partment provides the meat for the mens
the quartermasters department the ovens
and pans to cook it, the ordnance depart
ment the meat cans and the knives and
forks with which to eat II. Again. the sub
sistence department supplies the coffee and
the roasters to properly brown 1t, the quar-
termaster's department the coffee mills to
grind it and the pots in which to make 1t
and the ordnance department the tin cups
and spoons to enable the men to drink it.
1t is the same with all the components OF
the rations. 1t is hard to get complete
unison between three distinct departments
and have the three essentials needed TO
properly feed command arrive at a given
place in proper quantity. 1t would seem a
much simpler problem If the army had 10
look to but department for everything
connected with its food supply, and 1t GER
tainly would lessen the danger of miscon-
nection between the food the means OF
preparing it and the means of consuming
it,
