CHURCHILL MAKES
NAVAL ESTIMATES
Compels House of Commons to
Listen to Review of Latest
Achievements.
Correspondence of the Associated

[Corres pondcncc Of tho Associated
Prcss.l
London. Friday March o0.--William
Ewart Gladstone was the last British
statesman who could make popular
reading with speech cxpounding the
annual budget OF government appro-
priations. Winston Spencer Churchill
has done the same thing for the naval
estimates. The young First Lord of tn c
Admiralty compelled the House of Com
mons to listen for two and half hours
while he gave review of the latest
achievement In naval science SO in
terestingly that even the little navy
men kept their seats to the end.
Battles between ironclads, the First
Lord described as more like a battle
between two eEgshclls. striking each
other with hammers" than two men il,
armor striking at each other with a
heavy sword.
Mr.. Churchill believes the British
navy leads the world in flying. He
promised his fellow members n unique
exhibition later IN the season by bring
ing fleet of airships over the Parlia-
ment buildings
The admiralty now possesses fifteen
airships, ten of which are large vessels
OF more than forty-fve miles an hour
speed, with siXty-two sea planes and
torty-onc ordinary acroplancs Mr..
Churchill confessed his belief in the
future Of the aeroplanc, but admitted
that the airship had advantages in
greater radius OF action. great carry
ing capacity and efficiency at night
work. Special sea-plane vessels are
being built TO accompany the fleets
and carry machines.
On the vital topic of the British
navy's step to introduce oil as fuel for
varships the First Lords explanations
were noteworthy principally for what
he refused TO say. Tho government
maintains the greatest secrecy concern
ing the location of the oil reserves, as
well AS sources OF supply. The sum
or SI3pp,o00 was asked as an aDp-o-
priation for oil reserves. but the First
lo:d explained that with the cost of
tanks and pipe lines to deliver oil at
the jcttics. much more Is being spent.

Artificial Rain Making

The amount of money paid out an
nually to rain makers" mounts into
the thousands. Investigations of the
results secured show that this money
is thrown away. In every case where
the rain makers claimed success,
there were general rains or scattered
showers over a large area. The con-
clusion is irresistible that rain hap
pened to come at an opportune time
and the rain makers" claimed credit
for its occurrence. Scientists have
long known that the forces which
evaporate large quantities of water,
transport the vapor for hundreds OF
miles. and then condense it are as yet
far too great for mans puny efforts
to make an appreciable impression.
