Climax to Hard Fight.

The adoption Of the two battleship-a-
year plan comes as the climax Of a hard
fight in which the greater navy advocates
were opposed by one contingent holding
for no battleships at all and another pro-
posing compromise on one. The House
itself. of course, will decide the question
finally when the bill comes up on the
floor.
Secretary Meyer and the greater navy
men had been hopeful that three battle
ships might be gotten through in this
years bill to make up the decrease the
navy suffered in last years bill, when
only one was appropriated for.
