Two Lattleships are to be appropri-
lted for by the present session OF
Congress. The House Committee on
Naval Affairs today by vote of IA
20 T decided to include provisions in
the bill which makes appropriations
for our naval defense and which
they will report to the House in day
Or two, to authorize the construction
of two battleships, six destroyers,
four submarines, one supply ship and
one transport. The sum of S20,000.-
900 is made Immediately available to
start tie construction CT the battle
ships.
The action of the naval committee
today will very likely meet with the
approval of majority Of the House.
The failure of the economists" Of
the House to get quorum at the
.aucrs called for last Saturday
night to consider the battleship
quest'o was directly responsible
for The action of the committee.
Now that the committee has acted:
the little navy men will have to make
their fight on the floor Of the House
and with over half of the Democrats
favor ing two battleships and all the
Republicans there is no doubt that
two batleships will be provided for.
