IN NAVY MONEY BILL

Washington, Feb, 1.-TWO battleships
in this years naval appropriation bill
were determined upon yesterday by the
house naval affairs committee by vote
OF Ia to 7, Six destroyers, four subma-
rines, one supply ship and one trans
port also will be provided.
The new dreadnaughts are to cost
approximately $15,O00,O00 each Adop-
tion of the two battleships-a-year plan
comes as the climax of hard fight. in
which the greater navy advocates were
opposed by one contingent holding for
no battleships at all and another pro-
posing compromising on one.
The house itself, of course, will de-
eide the question finally when the bill
comes up on the floor
Secretary Meyer and the greater
navy men have been hopeful that three
battleships might be gotten through
in this years bill to make up for the
decrease the navy suffered in lats
years bill, when only one was appro-
priated for.
