PEACE PLANS SUBJECT
 OF COMMENT
ENGLISH PRESS DIFFERS IN ATTITUDE REGARD ING THE PRESIDENTS RECENT SPEECH.

LONDON, May 2o.-"Irresponsible peace talk received its quietus from Sir Edward Grey last week. but no doubt President Wilson's speech be- fore the League to Enforce Peace will revive the discussion in certain quar- ters," says the Liverpool Post.
 The Post argues that the Entente Allies are fighting for virtually the same object which President Wilson proposes. league of nations.
 The Manchester Guardian says this plan of the president is almost as old as the first formulation of the idea of organized peace, but that it never before in any part of the world has commanded the support accorded it in America today.
 The Westminster Gazette says that if enc is to understand what Presi- dent Wilson is driving at, his speech must be considered from two points of view, the immediate point of view of the war and the more remote one of construction after the war.

5-YEAR PROGRAM OPPOSED BY
 KITCHEN
MAJORITY LEADER SAYS CLAMOR FOR PREPARED NESS DUE TO HYSTERIA AND JINGOISM.
By Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, May 2o.-Majori- tyLeader Kitchin, speaking in behalf of the naval appropriation bill in the house explained that while he believ- ed the measure provided for greater preparedness on sea than the country really needed, he would support the measure because it eliminated the de partment's five-year building program. He attacked the so-called "big navy men and asserted that the clamor for preparedness was due in the main to hysteria and jingoism. Kitchin's speech closed the general debate. Consideration of the bill under a rule permitting ive-minute speeches on amendments then began. A score of amendments offered at the close of the general debate were voted down.
