House Committee May Also Favor
EioI1t Destroyers,

Eight Destroyers.
Washington, Dec. 30.-The naval
appropriation bill will be considered
by the house naval affairs committee
tomorrow.
Although the committee members
have not formally taken up the para
graphs relating to the increase of the
navy, sentiment is crystalizing in the
committee for liberal appropriation
for submarines.
It is now believed that at least ten
and probably twelve submarines will
be authorized. The progrem also prob
ably will include eight destroyers in
stead of the six called for in the esti
mates.

proposed by Senator Owen.

out troops to resist invasion would
not be altered, but declartion of an
offensive war would have to be sub
mitted to a referendum.

WAR CREATES A
