BIGGEST NAVY
BUILDING BILL
PUT IN SHAPE
Congress Virtually Completes Nation
al Defense Program.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Congress
virtually completed the national de-
fense program tonight by finally ap-
proving the great increases in naval
construction and personnel written
into the naval bill and urgently sup
ported by the administration.
The house accepted the building
program to which it's conferees on the
measure had refused to agree, by !
vote of 2S3 to 81 with seven of the
members present not voting.
The personnel increases on which
there also was disagreement in con-
ference were approved without rec
ord vote, .~...-~,,
Increase in Men to 74,700 u
The personnel and construction Sec
tions, which already have the approv-
al of the senate, authorize an increase
in enlisted men to TATTOO 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 continuing building program,
had authorized only five capital ships.
all of them battle cruisers, and had
provided for a personnel of only 65,-
900.
Expect Early Agreement sF'
On several less important sections
including appropriations for improve
ment of navy yards, the house insist
ed on its disagreement to senate ir-
creases and voted to send the bill
back to conference for settlement of
these points.
An early agreement is expected,
however, and the measure may be
sent to the president for his sigma
ture within a week.
Biggest Building Bill.
Secretary Daniels issued a state
ment tonight pointing out that the
building authorizations in the bill
were the greatest ever passed in any
country and would give the United
States, in the opinion of naval au-
thorities, the second largest navy in
the world.
He declared the program so COM
plete and nearly perfect that it
stand as model for all navy bills in
future legislation.
Non-partisan Vote
The vote by which the house &C.
cepted the senate increase in the
building program was tlon-partisan,
the majority of both democrats and
Republicans voting "a The affirmatt;.

negative there were IS democrats, H.

| During the debate on the building,
program, the republicans insisted that
they had led the way toward increases
and that the administration was not
entitled to all of the credit.
The time allotted opponents of the
big program was controlled by Demo-
cratic Leader Kitchin, who charged
the democrats with a sharp change of
front.

REV. f. 4. oEHLER
MAKES STATEMENT

Editor of The World
I happened to be in Fargo last
Thursday, when Mr.. Hughes, Republi-
can candidate for President of the
United States, spoke in the Auditor
ium Of that city. I am in no sense a
partisan, although I have usually vot-
ed the Republican National ticket.
Above all I like to see fair play, and
therefore I would like to correct what
may be misunderstanding with re-
gard to that Fargo meeting of Mr..
Hughes. 1 scarcely think it just to
call it "frost," as the Auditorium
was filled to it's capacity, and hundreds
were turned away. In a speech last
ing fifty minutes the speaker was ap-
pladded twenty-nine times, and at
times VIGOROUSLY. Whether one
agreed with Mr.. Hughes or not, it can
not be denied that he held the closest
attention of his hearers. His style is
unadorned, and as forccful as it is
clear. There is no beating about the
bush, no appeal to the gallery, no
rhetorical lourishes, and the most,
dense cannot fail to understand his
drift. But what impressed me the
most was the evident sincerity and
fearlessness Of the man. It was not
the speech Of a smooth politician, and
if am not mistaken he would be
difficult person for politicians to han
die. I can now understand why the
so-called cold guard" did not want to
see him nominated, but were compell-
to do SO, if they wished to defeat one
whom they disliked more. Whoever
is elected President, apart from any
consideration of policies and methods,
a high-minded man will occupy the
White House.
Yours truly,
F. H. OEHLER.

When one considers how much less
subject disease grass and some other
crops are than wheat, and how stock
can be fed successfully after a hail
storm has put the grain crop out of
running, it ought to cause some of the
farmers to look more favorably upon
clovenhoofed farm animals.

1000 ST. PAUL MEN
WOULD BE INVOLVED
LABOR MEN SAY LOCAL TRAIN
MEN ARE. NOT KEEN FOR A
STRIKE.

Should the efforts of those now try
ing to avert strike of railroad train
men in the United States prove fruit
less, it is estimated that between 800
and 1000 trainmen who have homes in
st. Paul will be thrown out Of employ
ment. In addition to these there are
many more whose runs terminate in
st. Paul and who spend from two to
four days of each week here.
That trainmen here and in the
Northwest hope strike will be avert
ed is the opinion of those in touch
with local labor conditions.

DR. MACAO AR|CA OSTRAC|SED BY
 THE JAPS

PEKING. April IS. - Dr. Nagao Ariga, the Japanese constitutionalist adviser to the Chinese government, is practically man without a country. Since Dr. Ariga addressed Yuan Shi
 Kai as Your Majesty" in a document
 widely printed in the Chinese press, supporting the monarehical movement, Dr. Ariga has been ortracised by his fellow countrymen residing in China, and mercilessly attacked by the press in Japan This action of Dr. Ariga, at a time when his country was opposing the Chinese monarchy, has been re garded as little short of treason by his
 fellow countrymen. He was forced to
 resign from the Japanese Club in Pek. ing, and is no longer welcome in the homes of the leading Japanese in this city. It has been frequently suggested to him through the press that he should surrender his Japanese citizen ship and become a Chinese subject.
 Dr. Ariga is one of the favorite ad- yisers of Yuan Shi Kai, and in both China and Japan he is regarded as the foremost authority on constitutional law in the Orient. He is now busily engaged in assisting with the new Chinese constitution. and is in almost daily conference with high Chinese officials connected with the constitu- ton drafing comnittee Dr, Ariga is a graduate of Tokio University, and was in charge of affairs relating to international law during the Chino Japanese war. He was formerly a professor at Waseda University. but has been forced out of that institution because of his work in China.

Last night a splendid congregation
assembled in Diamond Street Metho-

inspiring song service led by the choir,
afterwhich Rev. j. B. Workman
preached very able and practical
sermon on "The Price, Power and Re-
ward Of Thorough Equipment as Saw

church, and following the sermon,
upon invitation of the pastor the altar
and all the space about it was filled
with Christian people who came for
ward seeking the power Of the Holy
Spirit and to renew. their convenant
with God.
There seems to be an unusual readi-
ness on the part of the church to re-
spond to the call for service and a
spirit Of expectancy Is manifest which
reaches even the people who are out
side the church.

gin at 1870 and the sermon viii be on

Natural Altitude

Tho. following, comment on the
"Rot" editorial in The Times was
handed into The West Virginian
yesterday by a prominent citizen,
whose name will be given to any
who wish to know, If they will call
at the editorial rooms OF The west
Virginian in person:
"In yesterdays issue Of the Fair
mont Times there appears an edt.
torial under the caption Rot" in
which the Rev. DIR. Mahood, the
evangelist now preaching in our
city, and some of his utterances in
last nights sermon are attacked.
The editorial ought not to surprise
readers Of the Times. It's vicious
ness Is out of the ordinary, but its
position is in line with the general
editorial policy OF the Times. A
perusal OF the files OF the Times
will plainly show that from time to
time It has attacked ministers, and
churches. and revivaIs. and forces
OF righteousness generally. The
people OF Fairnont respect its
ministry, support its churches, be.
lfsve in revivals and a day of reck-
oning awaits such an utterance as
appeared in. the Times yesterday
morning."
