President Roosevelt has let members
of the House know that If his program
OF four battleships is to be defeated

sion, he will veto the latter. This
statement was brought to the capitol
by n prominent member of the House
and created n sensation among tho
first term members on the Republican
side. who have not yet made their
record for their constituents. and now
see no hope Of making one In the face
OF Il Democratic filibuster. II has also
stirred the leaders. who had hoped to

Word has reached tho President
through various channels that in
view of the present condition OF the
treasury leaders of the House do not
see how they can afford to authorize
four battleships and public build

this argument was put up to the
