II, EDWARD HEATING
congressman from the Third Con-
pressional District.)

washington, D. c., Aug. 18.
has agreed on the
,,rgest naval program ever un-
lals lIarstaken by any nation when
a' i was at peace with the world.
Within three years it is pro-
,oSed to lay down ten battle
shins with the most powerful
sr ssrmament, at a cost of $11,-
100000 each.
'' Six of the finest battle cruis-
ers to cost approximately $16,-
100000 each.
Ten scout cruisers, possessed
of the highest practicable
speed, and to cost $5,000,000
Fifty torpedo boat destroy
ers. nine fleet submarines and
ffty-eight coast marines, be-
sides large number of auxil-
iary vessels.
When completed these ves-
sells will have cost the tax-pay-
ers about S600,000,00O, and
no one outside an insane asy-
lum will contend that the Uni
ted States navy can not sue
cessfully contend in our own
waters with the navy of any
other nation.
Existing Fleet Very Strong
Personally, l am convinced
that the fleet we have this min
ute is amply able to handle any
force which could be sent
against our shores by any
power with the single excep-
ton of Great Britain. | have
frequently expressed thatopin-
ion in these letters and no evil
dence has been produced to
convince me that it was not
we'll founded.
All this talk about Japan
or Germany or France or Italy
swooping down on us is arrant
nonsense. If either of these
nations sent every ship it pos
sesses we would be able C
manage the situation. All the
experts agree that would be
possible as they would be
forced to keep some vessels in
reserve to protect their own
ports and to guard their mer-
chant ships, and therefore we
would never be called upon to
,.ght more than a major frac-
ton of their navy.
So far as England is con-
cerned, she is not likely TO
1other us so long as the Union
Jack flies over Canada.
But, however that may be,
mere can be no dispute about

ITALIANS JOIN IN
 WAR IN SALONIKI
JOIN BALKAN FIGHT = ALTER NATE GAINS AND LOSSES ON
 THE ENTIRE FRONT.

Paris.-Italian troops began to dis embark at Saloniki, says a Havas dis patch from that point.
 On leaving their ships, the dispatch says, the Italians passed through Sa- loniki to camp, preceded by military bands of the allies and cheered by the populace.
 Active participation by Italian troops in the Saloniki campaign would mean the existence of a state of war between Germany and Italy.
 Germany is directing the opera tons against the allies on this front and, as the official German reports show, has forces there Some Aus trian troops also probably are em- ployed, and possibly Turks, but the major portion of the army is made up of Bulgarians. Recent reports have indicated withdrawal of Aus trian troops at the Balkans for use on the Russian and Italian fronts.
 As the allies are believed to have a force of some 100000 British, French and Servian troops on the Saloniki front, the sending of endorsements at this time, just after the opening of hostilities on a large scale, would in- dicate that the allies have embarked on campaign of extensive propor- tions
 Italy, which has a considerable sur plus of troops, has been urged to take a more active part in the Balkan ope- rations, but was believed 10 have re- trained partly on account of the fact that she was not at war with Ger many. There have been several re- cent indications, however, that a de- claratIon of hostilities was forthcom- ing. A commercial treaty between these nations was abrogated, Ger man court ruled that Germany is act ually, though not formally, at war with Italy, and last week it was reported that the defense of Triest would be taken over by Germany. Italian par ticipation in the Balkan operations hitherto has been limited to occupa- tion of the Albanian port of Avlona, which was effected before Italy de- clared war on Austria.

SECRETARY FRANKLIN K. LANE, JUDGE GEORGE GRAY AND DR.
 JOHN R. MOTT MEMBERS.
LANE WILL HEAD THE GROUP
Probably First Problem Taken Up By Joint Committee Will Be the Pro- posed Withdrawal of American
 Troops From Mexico.

Washington. = Secretary Lansing announced that the American mem bers of the joint commission to under take settlements of differences be- tween the United States and Mexico would be Franklin K. Lane, secretary of the interior; Judge George Gray of Wilmington, Del, and Dr. John R. Mott of New York City.
 All of the commissioners have ac- cepted their appointments, the Mex iean members were named some time ago and arrangements for their meeting will be made Immediately by Secretary Lansing and Eliseo Are dondon. Gen. Carranza's ambassador designate.
 Secretary Lane, who will head the American group, was the first mem Der selected. Associate Justice Bran deis was President Wilson's second choice and after conference with Chief Justice White he decided hls du- ties would not permit him to serve Judge Gray, who is judge of the Third Federal Judicial Circuit and a former United States senator, has had much experience on international bodies and since 1S00 has been member of the international permanent court of arbi- tration under The Hague convention Dr. Mott is general secretary of the international committee of the Young Mems Christian Association and au- thor of numerous religious works. He was offered the post of minister to China by President Wilson, but de clined it.
 The Mexico commissioners are Luis Cabrera, minister of finance; Ygnacio Bonilas and Alberto Pani Both of the latters are engineer sand Benilas- las is a graduate of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
 Probably the first problem taken up by the joint committee will be the proposed withdrawal of American troops from Mexico. As Gen. Fun ston has recommended the recall of Gen. Pershing's expedition this is ex- pected to be agreed to by the Ameri- Con uieuuSlo. 0eH' 0diIdHAd dp- pointed his commissioners "prefera- bly," to discuss this question, the ne- gotiation of protocol covering the crossing of the international border in pursuit of bandits and investiga- tion of the interests which might be behind the raids into American terri tory The United States refused 10 limit the discussion to the subjects and undoubtedly others will be gone into.

2 BRITISH VESSELS
 SUNK, SAYS BERLIN
SMALL CRUISER AND DESTROY FER SENT DOWN BY GERMAN
 SUBMARINE.

London.-Two British light cruis- CTS, the Nottingham and Falmouth, were sunk in the North sea by Ger man submarines while the vessels were searching for the German high seas fleet, according to an official an- nouncement issued by the Admiralty. One German submarine was destroyed by the British. while another was rammed and possibly sunk, according to the Admiralty statement.
 A German squadron of 15 warships, including large cruisers, was reported in the North sea by trawlers arriving sat Ymuiden, Holland, a Reuter- dis patch says. The squadron was sight ed early in the region of White Bank, and was accompanied by two Zeppe- lins. It was on northwesterly course
 The Admiralty statement says:
 Reports from our lookout squad rons and other units showed that there was considerable activity on the part of the enemy in the North sea.
 "The German high seas fleet came out, but learning from their scouts that the British for ees were in con siderable strength, the enemy avoided an engagement and returned to port.
 "In searching for the enemy we lost two cruisers by submarine at tacks-H NJ S. Nottingham, Captain c. B. Miller. and H. M. s. Falmouth, Captain John Edwards.
 All the officers of the former were saved, but 3S of the crew are missing. All the officers and men of the Fal- mouth were saved, but one leading stoker. Norman Fry, died of injuries.
 An enemy submarine was destroy ed and anotlrer was rammed and pos sibly sunk.
 There is no truth in a Ierman statement that a British destroyer was sunk and a British battleshIp damaged
 The Nottingham was a vessel of 5,4O0 tons, and was built in Penn broke in 1913 Her complement was 3S0 men. She was 430 feet long and carried nine six-inch guns, four three pounders and TWO torpedo tubes. She was designed to make about 25 knots.
