WASHINGTON SURPRISED.
Knows Little Of british Naval In
crease-U. =. In Fonrth Place.


WARRINGTON, March THE official
announcement that Great Britain had
added q million tons to the tonnage OF
her navy since the war began was a
distinct surprise TO navy officials here.
According TO the last reports received. II
was stated tonight by Admiral W. g.
Benson. chief Of operations. there were
building In British yards az the time
the war broke out. including vessels
originally laid down fof other Govern
ments. but seized by the British au-
thorities. t~wenty-onc dr~eadnoughts. aver
aging about $4,000 tons each. or u total
OF $4,000 tons. No Information Is In
hand At the Department concerning the
additional tonnage built or building OF
the types Of vessels which II includes.
The addition Of a million tons to the
British navy would give a tota, ton
mage Of 3~.15s.2j0. as compared with
9aS.02s tons. which represented the total
tonnage of the ships Of the American
navy built and building on July I. 1914.
While Il 10 known here that all the
countries at war have greatly Increased
their building programmes since the war
began officials OF the American navy
do not profess to know TO what extent
Germany and France a v outstripped
the United states. II Is generally con.
coded among naval officers that as a
result, OF this the United states has
dropped back from third to fourth place

clusion did not convince the House. Re.
cent rumors with reference TO Admiral
Sir John Fisher are explained by the
fac that he accepted an invitation TO q
meeting Of the Wa Committee for to-
day wednesday, to discuss certain
points of The naval situation"
II was Winston 8. Churchill who when
First Lord Of the Admiralty forced the
resignation Of Lord Fisher NJ Firrt Sea
Lord In May. 1915. Lord Fishers res
imation resulted in a general political
shakeup and In the subsequent r%eoreani-
sation OF the Government, the First
Lord was ''shelved.' taking h ~insiRnih-
cant Cabinet post Of Chancellor OF Duchy
Of Lancaster.
Col. C~hurchill's grievance against
lord Fisher. a. expressed In Parliament,
was that he had not received the sud
ance from the First Sea Lord to which
he had thought himself entitled. Col.
Churchilrs present advocacy OF the re-
instatement Of Lord Fisher indicates Z
revision Of his feelings toward the latter
and possibly a reconciliation between
the two. Col. Churchill went to the
British front In France last November
and Is on leave.

Allies FINALLY Yield.

Swiss demand for home control OF tho
Importation Trust finally was conceded
by the Allies. The question OF compen-
sation, however. caused a great deal OF
trouble and pending settlement all but
paralyzed Swiss industries.
The Allies contention was that they
were willing TO permit importation of
certain quantities OF raw material and
half finished goods based upon previous
average annual imports OF switzerland,
but that since they were not asking
themselves for conversational exchanges
Switzerland should not grant any to
Germany either.
To this the Swiss Government an
swered that the Allies receive de facto
conpensation given automatically by
importing from switzerland goods which
have been manufactured with raw ma.
tertals received from tho Teutonic Pow
ers, Among these are condensed milk.
chocolate and various machines, OF which
Iarx. quantities are exported to France,
England and Italy. and In the manu-
factuvc Of which sugar. coal and raw
materials imported either from Germany
mr. Austria Hungary have been used.
Fortunately a working agreement was
rea cfed between the Allies and Switzer.
