There were several contributing factors

religious prejudices.

AMERICAN Navy TO
Be VERY POWERFUL
Not Later Than 1925 is the In
formation Given by the
Navy General Board.
tsY Aesoel.rsp ,rrnn

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-The
American navy should be equal to
The most powerful maintained by any
other nation of the world" not later
than 1925 In the opinion of the navy
general board headed by Admiral
Dewey.
The annual report OF the board.
Just made public, discloses that thi9
naval policy was formulated by the
body In July last in answer to the fol-
lowing proposition propounded by
Secretary Daniels when the admins
tration reached Its decision to enter
upon a campaign Of national pre-
paredness:
What the navy must be in the
future in order to stand upon an
equality with the most efficient and
most practically serviceable."
The boards conclusions follow:
To Equal Any Other.
THE navy OF the United States
should ultimately be equal to the
most powerful maintained by any
other nation OF the world. It should
be gradually increased to this point
by such rate OF development year
by year, as may be permitted by the
facilities OF the country, but the limit
above the defined should be attained
not later than 1926"
AT the same time the board pre-
scented a building program for 1917
in compliance with the secretary's
request for "a program formulated
in the most definite terms, planned
for a consistent and progressive de-
velopment of this great defensive
arm Of the nation.
Details OF the boards reply are
not revealed, as subsequently In octo-
Der OF this year, the secretary asked
the board to prepare IA building
program for the navy that will con-
tinue over period of five years with
an expenditure of about 100000
600 each year for five years on new
construction only" The administra-
ton plan for the construction OF six
teen capital ships within five years ls
founded on the boards answer.
At the same time the board again
developed its idea of the place the
American navy should hold in the
world nthe following language:
Modified Opinion.
ho SShtiaA pudlu UtlleEGS aInaL
the course OF the present war in Eu-
rope affords convincing reasons for
modifying the opinion which 1t has
expressed for the last eleven years
as to the. proper size Of the navy. A
navy in firm control OF the seas from
the outbreak of the war Is the prime
essentialsto the defense OF a country
situated as is the United States bor-
( dering upon two great oceans. A
navy strong enough only to defend
our coast from actual invasion will
not suffice. Defense from invasion
is not the only function Of the navy.
1t must protect our sea-borne COM
merce and drive that of the enemy
from the eas The best way to accom-
plish all these objects Is to find and
defeat the hostile fleet or any OF its
detachments at a distance from our
coast sufficiently great to prevent

interruption of our normal course of
national life. The current war has
shown that navy of the size recon-
mended by this board in previous
years can no longer be considered as
adequate to the defensive needs OF
the United States. Our present navy
is not sufficient to give due weight
to the diplomatic circumstances Of
the United States in peace nor to en-
force its policies in war"
The report lays stress upon the
boards proposal that seven OF the
sixteen new ships, four superdread-
naughts and three battle cruisers be
authorized in 1916. Secretary DAN
iels has recommended to Congress,
that only two dreadnaughts and two
battle cruisers be authorized at this
time. Under the boards plan the to-

London, Nov 4-Having checked

the Russians have started counter

that the battle still is in progress.
They also claim successes at other

Cleary has been missing from Hav-
erstraw since an investigation of the
manner in which his murder trial
was conducted disclosed alleged ir-
regularities in his office. He was ar
rested by John McCullagh, former
chief of police OF New York.
Cleary's arrest was the culimina-

March and took his pursuers to Ber-

cities in the United States. Three
months ago the fugitive returned to
New York city from the Far West

disappeared. He spent several
weeks in Hoboken, but eluded de.

here last night.

Fast Boxing Last Night at Rooms

MAIN EVENT CALLED GOOD DRAW
"kid" Foster of Bennington and
"Youns" IIIingworth of New
Haven Drew Good Audience.

One of the largest crowds TO wit
ness sporting event at the rooms Of
the Canadian club was on hand
Thursday evening for the bout be-
tween kid" Foster of this village
and Young lllingworth OF New Hav-
rounds to a draw and was pronounc-
ed by followers of the ring game to
have been one Of the best bouts held
in this section in years.
Both boys weighed in at 1874
pounds at o'clock, according to
agreement, so that there was no ad-
vantage in weight. Illingworth was
in far better condition than Foster
The New Haven boy had apparently
trained carefully for the meeting and
the shape he was in was undoubtedly
a big factor Foster is naturally the
sturdier of the two. larger in the
body, legs and arms. but he did not
have the advantage of his strength
Thursday night for the reason that
he had not properly conditioned him
SELF. Illingworth had him down for
the count of eight in one round and
apparently pretty well exhausted.
Notwithstanding the fact that his op-
ponent was in far better shape, Fos-
ter had the better of the eighth and
last round During the last three
minutes the Bennington boy was the
aggressor and Illingworth was show
ing the effects of the fast pace main
tanned throughout the bout.
lllingworth had an advantage In
height and reach and showed that he
has acquired good knowledge of
the game. 1t was necessary for Fos-
ter, with his shorter arms, to go in
side the taller mans guard. The
Bennington boy was aggressive
enough and was willing to work at
close range, but when he rushed he
was frequently met with stiff left
jab that worried him perceptible if it
did but little damage.
Both boxers were cautious, but
when either saw an opening he was
not backward in taking it and the
clashes were fast enough to suit the
most particular fan. The spectator,
who wanted action for his money said
that Foster had the better of the
bout. The man who admires a smooth
boxer at work favored the boy from
New Haven. In the opinion of one
of the best posted fans in the state,
1T was a good draw

sey of Bennington thoroughly out
