Mean the Expenditure of
$100,000,000.

istry will urge upon the Ottoman parlia-
ment soon after 1t recOnvenes Nov. Is the
adoption of a naval program, providing
for the expenditure within the next seven
years of 1Go000,000.
According TO this program, seven bat
tIeships of the North Dakota type would

pital ship.
For the next fiscal year an appropria-
ton of 100000 to begin the construction
