JutIand and up to the present
time, as one battle cruiser, one
ship Of the line of older construc-

WASHINGTON. March 29.-One of the army's most serious problems in hunting Villa was solved today when General Carranza granted the renewed request of the State Department for permission to use the Mexican North western Railroad.
 General CarranZa received the re- quest this morning: his answer was re- ceived in Washington before dark. It was contained in a grief message from James l.. Rodgers. special representa- tive at Queretaro. saying the head of the defacto government agreed to the use of the line.
 Although the army will proceed to use the railroad all service shall be paid for at regular rates. The State Department will negotiate further with Carranza to bring about more com plete understanding as to just what he has agreed to.

WASHINGTON. March 29.-Appro- priations by Congress for eight new capital ships last year, double the mum Der proposed by the administration five year navy program. were recom- mended by Assistant Secretary Roose- welt, in concluding his testimony be- fore the House Naval Committee. Sec retary Daniels will appear tomorrow as the last witness to be heard before the committee begins drafting the bill. His examination is expected to re- quire several days.
 MT. Roosevelt explained that recom- mendations for eight ships immediate ly repeated his personal views and those of the department "l believe the government and private yards could take care of eight capital ships this year." he said. ''I think it would mean a great step for the moral effect upon the country and our information al relations. Germany's present rate lis three ships year, our program of three and one-ffth in five years would not quite catch up. but would mean a gain. We would probably pass France. with whom we are now neck and neck"
 Questioned about Japan's navy, Mir. Roosevelt said Japan and Germany were reported to have secret building funds and programs. Representative Farr of Pennsylvania asked how much stronger the American navy was than the Japanese.
 That depends upon the zone of op- eratiOns." replied the witness. If the fleet were kept apart we are about three to two. If the operations were in Japanese waters we are about equal Japan probably would be superior in home waters. If they attempted 10 come over the Pacific the conditions would be reversed"
