IN GERMANY'S WAKE.
England Will Follow in the Construc-
ton of Warships.

London, March 18.-Winston Spencer
Churchill. first lord of the admiralty to-
day, introduced the naval estimates for
the coming year in the house of COM
mons. The appropriation called for is
1920, 425, 900, a decrease of 81, 535, 900 from
last year. Mr.. Churchill accompania ed
the introduction with a promise of an
augmentation or g retardation of Brit
ish naval construction to correspond
with Germanys naval program. He said
he regretted the necessity of referring
specifically to Germany.
Mr.. Churchill then went on to tell
of the conditions under which naval
competition would be carried on in the
next few years, prefacing his remarks
with the statement that the two to
one" standard was not necessary at
present although it possibly would be-
come SO
The two power standards has be an
extended by some of it's supporters"
continued Mr.. Churchill, Ito include the
United States and by this means it
has lost both good sense and reality"
The first lord laid down a so per
cent superiority in battleships and bat
tie cruisers OF the dreadnought type as
compared with the German navy as d
convenient basis for the next four or
five years. He pointed out that Great
Britain at present possessed an enor-
NOUS superiority in pre-dreadnough
vessels, but as these declined in fighting
value the British ratio of new con-
struction would have to rise above the
so per cent standard Every addition
Germany makes in the way of new yes
seis would accelerate the decline in
value of the pre-dreadnought vessels
and necessitate the augmentation of
New British construction SO as to meet
the existing German naval law
Mr.. Churchill said it would be nee
eSSarV for Great britain fO ron SfrIIct
four and three dreadnoughts every year
alternately for the next six years
IF we are now as it seems to be
confronted with the addition of two
new German ships in these six years
we propose to meet the addition on the
higher ratio of superiority by laying
down four additional ships in the same
period
Mr.. Churchill added that any retarda-
ton or reduction of German construc-
ton would be promptly followed by a
proportionate measure of reduction in
Great Britain.

PLAN SEA MONSTER.
Naval Architects Busy on 10000 Ton
Warship.

Washington, March 1S.-The 10000
ton sea monster which has been the
dream of the American naval archi-
tect ever since the British ship build
ers initiated the struggle for suprem-
acy in size and power in battleships
with the launching of the original
dreadnought, already is being planned
on paper at the navy department, in
anticipation of the allowance by con-
gress of the departments estimates
for two new battleships. The plans
call for a ship about large as the
New York with a good sized cruiser
like the Olympia, Admiral Dewey's old
flagship at the battle of Manila, added
to her bulk.
If congress permits them to be built
the new ships will present some I'M
usual features. Possibly they will
have 15-inch guns. eight for each ship,
which will be by far the most power
full ordnance afloat in any navy.

FIRST LEGISLATURE
Convencs at the Capital of the New
State of Arizona.

Phoenix. Ariz.. March 1S.-When
the first state legislature of Arizona
convened today It was generally be-
lieved that the first action of the law
makers would be to restore to the
constitution the provisions for the re-
call of the judiciary, eliminated al the
time the new state was admitted to
the union. A constitutional amend
ment for that purpose will be one of
the first measures offered.
The Democrats have an overwhelm-
