SENATE DEBATE ON
NAVAL BILL OPENED
MEASURE CARRIES s315, 100000 APP
Observation-Disclosures IN
OUR HISTORY.

Washington.-The Senate began dis
cussion OF the $4,000 600 naval bill.
the largest naval appropriation meas
ure by many millions in the nations
history, and bearing increases OF near
ly S5O,OO0,O00 over its total as it pass
ed the House. Senate leaders en-
phasiZed their intention of expeditine
its consideration and little opposition
arose to the committees amendments
presented.
An indication that the Senate is in
sympathy with the liberal increases
written into the bill by the Senate
naval committee was seen in the ap.
prevail without opposition of a section
increasing enlisted strength of the
navy from the present $4,000 to $500
men and 5000 apprentice seamen. The
House bill provided for an increase
to only $1,000 men.
When the personnel section was
reached Senator Norris asked for an
explanation of its purpose. Senator
Swanson. in charge of the measure,
replied that the section as drafted
followed the recommendations of the
navy general board and would give
only sufficient personnel to man the
best battleships and cruisers now in
commission and a so per cent compile
ment for vessels in reserve Senator
Lodge, ranking Republican member
or the naval committee, also declared
the increase imperative.
That there would be no partisan OPP
position to the bill was apparent from
the beginning OF the debate. and lead
ers regarded the progress made on the
first days consideration as highly en-
couraging.

LondOn.-With the capture by the
French of La Maisonette Hill. which
dominates the Valley OF the Somme

OF the primary objects OF the Anglo,
French offensive has been achieved.
The two armies are now engaged in
an effort to organize and extend the
limits OF the ground they have gained
and in repelling German cOunter-a,-
tacks. which are directed particularly
against the British to the north of the
RIVER, where they succeeded in regain
ing footing in the Trones wood. At
other points. however, the British
have been able to make some progress,
although necessarily slow, against
well-fortifed positions.

both sides engage.
Inc Russians continue their ad-

gagged in a pitched battle along the
banks OF the Stockhod, which they
have crossed at some points. On the
rest OF the eastern front, while there
is continuous fighting at many places.
no important change occurred. Both
sides are concentrating their efforts
on the Lutsk salient. to the east OF
Kovel.
In the Caucasus and Mesopotamia
the fighting between the Turks and
the Russians continues with varying
results. The weather in the greater
