HOT FIGHT OVER ARMOR.
PROPOSAL. TO INCREASE PRICE DEFEAT
ED IN THE HOUSE.
IT MAY BE IMPOSSIBLE TO OBTAIN ARMoR
FOR THE BATTLEsHIPs NOW BUILDING.

FOR THE BATTLEsHIPs NOW BUILDING.
washington, April 2O-After a protracted
struggle in the House to-day. the provision OF
the Naval Appropriation bill TO enable the Sec
retary of the Navy to contract for armor for
the battIeships Maine Ohio and Missouri, now
awaiting their equipment, at S545 a ton. the
price asked for Krupp armor. was stricken on
the bill, the provision to repeal the $500
limitation placed the price of armor by the
current law. The fight came at the end OF the
consideration of the bill Although the pro-
vision was obnoxious to the rule all the minor
ty members of the Committee on Naval Affairs
had agreed to 1t, but to-day, when the majority
declined to allow the discussion of proposition
for the establishment of Government armor
plate factory. they retaliated by raising a point
of order against the two provisions above re-
ferred to. and they were ruled out.
The exact effect of the action of the House
to-day is disputed The appropriation of 81
OOO 900 under the head of ''armor and arma-
ment" remains in the BILL we'll as the Ian
guage of the proviso authorizing the Secretary
of the Navy to contract for armor OF the pest
quality for the Maine, the Ohio and the MIS-
souri, the words stricken out being 'at cost
not to exceed SJ45 a ton including royalties
1t is contended by some that this empowers the
Secretary to contract for the armor without
regard to cost. by OlnerS IL is Sdlu thae IN
provision win be ineffective until the Senate IN
serts the price.
So much bad feeling aroused by the
wrangle over the armor plate provision lhat
Mr. Underwood of Alabama, began to hlfbuster
after the bill reported to the House, ana
finally forced an adjournment without final ac-
ton the bill.
Before the armor plate question came up two
amendments to modify the provision for the m
crease of the Navy, which authorizes two pat
tleships and six cruisers. were defeated one
proposed to add a provision for six gunboats
and the other to strike out the provision for the
batteships. The question of building SHIPS III
Government yards did not reach vote, as the
amendment offered to this end was ruled out
on a point of order.

The Twentieth Century Magazine

A new century brings new conditions
and new methods of meeting them.
Fifty years ago the average American
was content to get his news once
week. Now he demands it twice a
day, with relays hourly when things
are happening in Africa and China.
The Curtis Publishing Company
bought The SATURDAY EVENING

Ito which demands its newspaper twice
a day, would want popular literary
magazine once week, provided 1t ad-
justed itself to the new conditions and
rightly gauged the demand Of the TWEEN

felt, would be for magazine OF the
best quality that money and brains
could make, sold at as low price as
modern machinery and methods could
produce it.
To improve the quality and at the
same time lower the price OF publica-
tion, two things are necessary-a great
circulation and the best machinery
that human ingenuity can devise. The
first has been achieved, for The SArUR'
