The idea that the only other course
open-increased taXation-will be fol-
lowed is receiving little support mas
much as there is a quantity of unsold
Panama Canal bonds in the Treasury
which might. with the proper author
iZation. be used to raise the funds.
These bonds amount to about $780,
oOO.OoO. With the funds which could
be raised in this manner. il is said the
government could easily provide for
the programs mapped out for national
defense. which call for about $780,
oOO,oOo of which S1S2.000.000 will be
devoted to the army.
The estimates had the right of way at
the Whit" HOus. yesterday. Practically
all the time the President spent in his
Office was devoted to conferences with
various members Of his Cabinet. with
whom he talked over the individual bud

wilson APPROVES
new navy PLAN
Daniels Program Calls for
$5OO,OOO, 900 for Naval
Construction.

Secretary Daniels plan for five-year
building program for the navy was ap-
proved by President Wilson yesterday.
The complete estimates embodying the
new plan and the regular recommended
tions for appropriation will go TO the
President today. Mr.. Daniels and the
heads of bureaus of the Navy Depart
ment spent practically the entire DAY in
conference making the final revision and
it was said last night that some features
still remai ined TO b" decided.
Mr. Daniels five-year plan calls for
the expenditure of approximately $50
OoO,O6 for new construction in the navy
during the next five years, or about
$780, co., oJp "A year This is about double
the annual appropriation Of recent years
for new construction in III" navy.
1t was asserted yesterday that it has
not Yet been finally decided how the
construction during tn" iive-year period
is to be apportioncd. II ha> been found
impossible to make both the expenditure
and the number of vessels authorized
equal in each of the five y~ars owing
to the fact that in tn. construction of
new ships a larger part Of the cost of
building has to be met during the first
year than in subsequent years.
What Daniels Wants.
For the five-year period the present
plan calls for:

tai 10000 men, or the same as those
IN active service, making a grand total
OF 10000 men available in this force
alone.
ON the other hand. it is estimated that
each year. under the new scheme, one
half Of the regular army would pass
into the status of the furlough, to be on
call for four years. This would make
at the end of six years force of about
21c"o men graduated from the regular
army service and subject to a call to
the colors. These two reserve forces.
combined with the regular army and the
militia, estimating the latter at 10000
each, would make a total of 10000
men. the total force available for serv-
ice after six years. 1t is not expected,
however, that actual experience will
meet this figure. as it does not allow
for non-comba tantS, for failures of a
percentage of the militia not to volun-
teer. and for losses to all forces
through a variety of causes.

Friedlander Bros. 42S Ninth street
have inaugurated their fall sale of
trade-marked clothing for men at re-
duced prices. Several Of the best
known standard makes of clothing are
represented and the prices are such as
indicate very liberal reductions.
Men who appreciate the value of a
trademark and who know the worth
of the garments included in this sale
are sure to take advantage Of the
opportunity presented to save money.
The last sale of this kind held bv
Friedlander Bros, last spring was a
pronounced success. and indications
are that this fall sale will exceed the
record established then.

Sixteen capital ships, probably four
battle cruisers and twelve battleships.
SiNty-four destroyers.
One hundred submarines about one
fourth of which will be of the so-called
fieet-keeping type and the remainder of
the coast defense type.
Fifteen scout ships.
Fifteen vessels of other types, fuel
ships. gunboats, transports. etc
In addition. it is planned to ask Con-
grcss for 1000 additional bluejackets and
1850 marines.
This years budget is to total at least
S225,~1.6m. and may run up several mill
lions higher. ii was said yesterday Tn
current appropriation was about $780,
0O0. CO.
II is understood that the estimates for
this year will ask for four capital ships
two battleships and two battle cruisers
AS present plans of the department call
for the creation of only division of
battle cruisers. II is expected that sub
sequent years would provide for only
one battle cruiser and three more battle
ships. and finally, when four battle
cruisers have been authorized. the entire
capital ship program could be devoted to
battl"Ships.
The program for this year is also ex-
pected to call for twenty-five submarines,
at ttdSt llIl'tll utSlfOEeTS ana prODaDly
two scout ships
Completion of this plan would give by
lS2: the following strength of capital
ships:
-Four battle cruisers
Twenly-nine battleships of the first
line.
Thirteen battleships of the second
line.
Nine battIeships of the third line.
Will Have 20 BattIeships.
The battle cruiser is a new feature in
the United States fleet the navy for the
first time having decided this year to
build some of this type of vessel They
will be reckoned AS capital ships here
after, though they have not the
strength or resisting power of battle
ships of the first line
Consequently. the real first line of de-
fense in the battle fleet will consist of
the twcnty-nine battleships. or Dread
nouGhts. This strength will be supple
mented by thirteen of the battleships of
the present fleet, which by 1922 will be
at least ten years old. The rule has
been to place battleships in the second
line of battle after they reach the age
of ten years.
