BIGGER WARSHIPS
URGED BY NAVY
Four Battleships and Five

mended.

The biggest construction program that
was ever recommended at one time Is
contained In the report OF the general
board Of the navy. signed by Admiral
Dewey, which has just been placed ia
the hands Of the Secretary of the Navy.
The repor will promptly be referred TO
the President and already both Secre-
tary Metcah and the President are
sounding members Of Congress as to
how strong a program Of construction
they will stand for at the coming ses-
sion.
A disposition has been manifested BY
many. members Of the new Congress
who have recently been iR the city, to

authorized, but IL Is calculated that a
favorable vote may be obtained by in

OF this committee, who recently visited
the navy yards OF the north Atlantic

sending the fleet TO the Pacific and were
said 20 be deeply impressed with them,
