Washington, April 19.-Now that the
house naval committee is thru with
hearings and the naval bill has been
taken up with a view to framing 1t and
reporting it to the house in the near
future. it is possible to get q better
view Of what will be the nature of the
measure. The naval bill this year will
command extraordinary attention in
congress, partly because every member
who is concerned over preparedness,
for or against, Is interested in 1t and
partly because Of the abnormal inter-
national situation.
Forecast Of Measure.
Several things about the bill are
pretty well established in the opinion
oe we'll Uniformed men on the commits
tee. Among these are:
That the committee will report in ia
Yor of a flve-year program of construc-
ton. go.
That construction of six great fight
ing ships will be favored for the COM
ing fiscal year.
That an increase OF personnel Of
from $4,000 to 10000 will be recon-
mended
That liberal provision for subma-
rines will be advised.
Some Of the members Of the commit
tee insist that congress should not
adopt a five-year program but should
authorize the entire program outlined
by Secretary Daniels now, to be con-
structed as rapidly as feasible, bond
issue being authorized to pay for them.
IF we are ever going to need ships.
1t Is now. not Ave years from now,s
they opine.
But this does not appear to be the
sentiment of the committee the major
ity Of which inclines to follow the
recommendations Of the administration.
or, at least, TO treat those recommended
tons As a minimum.
Battle Cruisers in Favor.
Increa sing disposition to authorize
four great, swift cruisers Of the battle
cruiser type is shown. This is direct
outgrowth Of the lessons Of the Euro
pean war If six first class ships are
authorized for the coming fiscal year,
the indications point to two super
dreadnaughts and four battle cruisers.
The present strength of the navy In
men, that Is the personnel. Is about
SO, 900, This, the committee Will advise,
should be increased to something like
10000.
Not less than fifty submarines, 1t
is expected. will be recommended by
the committee. Congress Is impressed
with the need Of submarines and before
the bin is passed 1t Is likely more than
that will be provided for.

"Credtt for this fresh victory also
