! Washington, Aug. ia great battle

naughts
| Whether to go ahead adding largely
to the force Of giant battleships or
not Will be in itself most interesting
and important part of the controversy
which will wage in house and senate
over the navy.
| To an extent, it is quite clear what
J congress will do in respect to new
naval construction. Secretary Daniels
has left no doubt he will favor large
increases in the number of submarines
and aeroplanes. The president is ex-
pected to indorse this idea And con-
gress will probably follow suit.
Secretary Daniels recently indicated
that he thought popular sentiment was
stronger for submarines and aero
planes than for battleships. AS a
political proposition, therefore, it is
likely the administration and congress
will range themselves alongside of
what they consider popular.
Question Not So Easy.
tleship and the great battle cruiser?
That IS more difficult problem Few
there are who believe the navy should
be strengthened in any respect who
dispute that a better submarine and a
better aeroplane service is needed. But
some who oppose naval increase gem
orally will stand for su bmarines and
aeroplanes and are opposed to more big
warships Even among those who want
liberal naval increase. there is diff
ference of opinion whether it should be
in the form Of big warships or subma-
rines destroyers and small craft.

Opponents of the big battleship are
going to make the most Of the argu-
ment that England's great superdread-
naughts have not succeeded In smash
ing the German fleet; that they have
not pounded their way TO the demoli-
ton >of the German navy. On the
other hand, they will make the utmost
of the performances of the subna-
rines abroad.
The believers in the big battleship
will cotend that il it had not been for
the tremendous array Of British first
class battlesnlps the German navy to-
day-and for months past-would not
have been cooped up in the region Of
the Kiel canal and made practically
useless. They will contend that Ger
man commerce no longer floats on the
seas because of the vast array of Eng
lish superdreadnaughts which the
Germans do not venture to meet.

lost faith in the slow superdread-
naught believe in the swift, powerful

VILLA ACCEPTS PEACE PLAN.
Reply to Proposal of nAmerican
Conferees is Ready for LANSING,

Washington, Aug 19.-General Villa.
head of the so-called convention gov
eminent of Mexico, has agreed TO ac-
cept the invitation of the United
States, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Cru-
quay and Guatemala TO participate in
a conference with his enemies for the
purpose of establishing orderly gov
eminent in his country.
It is expected that Villas accept
ance will be presented to the secre
tary of state tomorrow by Senior Llor
ente, the Villa agent here. 1t is under
stood that the Villa agency has been
notified by General Cantu. the Villista
governor of Lower California, that he
has received copy Of the appeal and
will accept the proposal to enter a
peace conference.
No response has been received from
General Carranza, head of the So
called constitutionalist government,
which is in control of Mexico City
Vera Cruz and the greater part of
Mexico. Unofficial advices from him
seem to make plain that his answer
win be a demand for recognition
Carranza. it is said, is being urged
by some of his adherents to accept the
invitations of the seven American gov
ernments with the proviso that the
representation in the peace conference
viii DC prnportionate TO the number OF
troops or the amount of territory held
by Their espective factional elements.
CarranZa's Washington agent Senior
Arredondo. held a conference in Phila-
delphia last night with Senior Suarez-
Mujica, the Chilean ambassador VINO
was one of the leading figures in the
Mexican peace conferences. 1t is I'M
derstood that Senior Arredondo ex-
planned the superior position Of the
Carranzista forces in backing up all
argument that the Carranza govern
ment should be recognized by the
United States and the Latin American
governments.
