tnands that mono shall Be provided. An
other meeting Of the confsrrees Is to be
hold tomorrow. The Senate conferrees
believe they can force the House into an
agreement for one ship.
With indications that public sentiment
VII cause them to reverse their present
attitude, the Democrats Of the House Will
CAUCUS for the third time on the battle
ship issue Wednesday night The

new bettleship. On two previous occa-
sions the Democrats adopted the pro-
gramre Of no battleshipS." The caucus
has been called In the hope that the
Democrats may save their faces with the
country. An effort will be made by such
ttvss Hobson. Brousssrd and Sulzer to
obtain approval for two ships. but the
prospects are better for one new Dread
