Characterizng the democratic policy of
mo battleships for 1919 as one of parsi-
mony and not principle, Representative
Bartholdt of Missouri began the repub-
lican attack on the naval appropriations
bill yesterday afternoon. Mr. Bartholdt
prophesied That majority of the House

sanction an appTopriat on for an addi-

Representative Madden. also of Illinois
said: II suppose that was because the

Representative Foss of Illinois during

and that II imperiled the nation. While
he believed In arbitration. Mr.. Foss stex :
ed that greater security is found In bat

Not a war in which the United States
