8 SHIPS IN 1917
Important Achievements,
Involving Appropria-
tons Of $661, ,4lS,00O

"AsHINGToN, Aug. Is. - Con-
w gress virtually completed the
national defense program tonight by
finally approving the great increases
In naval construction and personnel
written into the naval bill and urgent
" supported by the administration.
The house accepted the building
program to which it's conferees on the
measure had refused to agree, by a
vote of 2S3 to So with seven members
present not voting. The personnel
increase on which there also was a
disagreement in conference was ap-
proved without a record vote.
The personnel and construction Sec
tions, which already have the ap-
proVal of the senate, authorize an in
crease in enlisted men to 74,70O and
the building of 157 war vessels within
the next three years with four battle
cruisers and four battleships included
among the ships for 1917. Previously
the house had refused to adopt con-
tinuing building program. had author

them battle cruisers. and had pro-
vided for personnel of only $1,000.
On several less important sections,
including appropriations for improve

on its disagreement to senate in
creases and voted to send the bill
back to the president for his sigma

Second Navy in World.
Secretary Daniels issued state

building authorizations in the bill
were the greatest ever passed in any
country and would give the United
States, in the opinion of naval author

world. He declared the measure 80
complete and nearly perfect that 1t
will stand as a model for all navy
bills for future Legislators"
A vote by which the house ac-

building program was nonpartisan,

Republicans voting in the affirma-

L ". Hughes told an audience in
Tacomas stadium today that he would
not shrink from war in enforcing
American rights abroad
MIR. Hughes read the Democratic
platform If 1912, declaring for protec-
tion of American rights abroad.
II want that made rear', the nomi-
nee said Il do not think in making
that real that we encounter the danger
Of war. 1 would not shrink from 1t
if we did it in performing the obvious
duty"
Mr.. Hughes confined his remarks
almost wholly to what he termed the
need of a protective atriff.
II propose wise tariff without
abuses. he said, but frankly a
tariff to build and maintain Amer
lean industries
Mr. Hughes reviewed the Demo-
cratic tariff legislation and the Demo-
cratic platform plank of 1912 relat-
ing to the tariff.
"Our opponents said they would re-
duce the cost of living. he said Be
hold the result!
Arc Healed Now.
Through an unfortunate develop
mcnt in the Republican party, now
happily healed, our opponents got
power and they did not reduce the
tost Of living. We don't propose that
the shortcomings of this administra-
tion with respect to the protection Of
American Industries shall be forgot
ten. They want to forget them. They
think that the European war, like
charity, covers a multitude of sins"
Nr. Hughes referred to a statement
issued by Secretary MoAdoo soon af-
ter the war started in 1914 in which
it was announced that $500, 600. 900 in
emergency currency was available to
relieve financial stress.
Cur opponents had to resort to
Republican measure of precaution-
the Nreeland law, he said, "to still
gendered among the people of this
country"
Reverting to the tariff Mr.. Hughes
asked why the Democratic party
wanted a tariff commission.
"Do they want a commission to
frame a tariff for revenue only?" he
asked. Il want tariff commission
for the purpose OF carrying out the
protective principle, not block it,"
The ant'-dumpins provision Of the
pending revenue bill was discussed
by Mr.. Hughes

situation which threatens u country
wide strike, but paved the wav for
further conferences tomorrow.
After the managers had seen the
president this morning the situation
was described by those in touch with
II as very precarious. The men went
into their conference at 3 o'clock this
afternoon feeling rather gloomy.
When they left him nearly two hours
later with the prospect of meeting
the president again tomorrow, the
leaders were more hopeful. 1t even
was said there was possibility of "A
