criminals are still able to arm them

To be alert and armed for self defence.

Programme to Run AutomatiCal-
Iy for Eight Years Adopted.
BIG VICTORY FOR DELCASSE
Twenty eight First Glass Battle
ships To Be Completed
by 1920.

Paris. March Bon. Delcassc Minis
ter OF Marine, won a brilliant victory In
the Senate to-day by obtaining the final
adoption OF his elaborate plan for naval
construction and for putting the French
navy once more into effective fighting
condition. BY the vote Of the Senate the
new construction programme will begin
on May / and will run automatically
without further legislation until 1920.
when France will have in commission
twenty eight battleships fully equal in
armament, speed and tonnage to those
called for by the naval construction pro-
grammes Of England and Of Germany.
NJ Delcasse, with great ability and
foresight, has so arranged matters that
nothing can interfere with the accom-
p!ishment Of his naval programme ex-
cept special legislation. The minister
has been warmly congratulated on the
success of his efforts. He has added
new strength to the popular wave Of pa
triotism and 10 the determination TO be
fully prepared for war that is now the
dominating sentiment OF the French ma
tion.
The motor cab strike, which. To- the
great annoyance Of the public, and espe-
cially of tourists visiting Paris. has
lasted more than four months, is about
TO come to an end. owing TO the sensible
and practical initiative OF the Prime
Minister. NJ. Poincare proposes to re-
duce the municipal (octroD duty on ben
Zol the fuel which is used by the motor
cabs and which is paid for by the chauf-
feurs. The duty at present levied -
50 10 the hectolitre, and If the Chamber
Of Deputies accepts the Premier's pro-
pOsal the duty will be just 81 the hecto-
litre.
The strike was originally caused by
the sudden increase Of the duty on ben
Zol deCreed by the municipality OF Paris.
Afterward the chauffeurs naturally de-
manded corresponding increase OF
wages, and this the cab companies re-
fused The present solution is practi-
cally a victory for the chauffeurs at the
expense of the city Of Paris. and seems
satisfactory 10 all concerned.
