coast submarines, scout cruisers, de-
stroyers and auxiliaries-enoug to
make a new leet-is contemplated by
Secretary Daniels for recommenda.
ton as a five-year building program
Tor the United States Navy.
President Wilson and Secretary
Daniels has discussed informally the
needs Of the navy and are agreed that
In order to be adequately prepared
lor defense the present strength of the
Meet must be almost doubled In the
next five years, with the addition of
many of the latest type of fast and
powerful fighting craft.

Deen finally worked out, but the idea
or fixing ratio for continuing pro.

the basic principle upon which the
general board Of the navy and Secre-
tary Daniels are planning their recon-
mendations Another conference be-
tween the president and the secretary
Will be held at which the total number
probably will be fixed.
The fve-year naval program when
completed would add in addition to
dreadnoughts and tattle cruisers near
~ 100 submarines, about 70 destroy
ers and several scout cruisers and
proportionate number Of fuel and hos.
pital ships.
An important part Of the program,
too, will be proposal for large ~
crease in personnel Appropriation
for at least 5000 additional men will
be asked for the first year to make
up present deficiencies, and an ade.
quate number will be sought to man
the new ships built in the five-year
period
The total cost Of the proposed pro
gram for the first year. according to
present plans, is estimated at nearly
$248000,000 or about 100000 900 in

adequate merchant marine headed by
commission composed of the secre-

of the navy and three experienced
business men could make the United

FRENCH TROOPS IN MACEDONIA

Italian Participation in Balkan Cam
paign Is Only at Beginning
of Hostillties.

London.--The French government
has announced the existence OF state
of war betwe cen France and Bulgaria,
dating from 6 a. m, october 16. This
follows the British declaration made
the previous night
Almost co.incdentally comes the
report from Athens that the French
troops in Macedonia are engaged
with 10000 Bulgarians
Already thousands Of Anglo-French
troops, who landed at Saloniki. are
en- route to form a junction with the
Serbians or take up strategic posi-
tions against the Bulgarian advance.
A late dispatch from Malta, the
British naval station in the Mediter,
ranean, predicts that the Entente Al
lies in the next few days will send
strong new forces to Salonki for oper-
ations against the the Tcutons and
Bulgarians. Hard pressed on the Save
Danube front by AustroGerman
troops estimated at 100000 men and
fighting at various points to check
the Bulgarians, the Serbians are anX-
iously awaiting Anglo-French assist
ance, but they are favored by wealth
or conditions and natural dcfenses Of
the country with the result that the
invaders progress has not been pro.
nounced.
Italian participation in the Balkan
campaign apparently is no nearer
than at the beginning Of hostilities,
but the Italians on the Austrian from
tier have displayed renewed activity
and according to the Italian Official
communication "by a bold and we'll
conducted operation took by storm
the strong position Of Pregasna."
