BREAKS FIvE-DAY DEADLOCK
Largest Naval Appropriation Ever Pre-
sented to congress.-Administra.
tion 5.Year Plan Rejected.

Observation-Disclosures forces
IN Congress lost the first skirmish in
the naval preparedness campaign
when the House Committee broke q
five-day deadlock and completed the
naval appropriation bill without ap.
proving the fve-year building program
advocated by President Wilson and
Secretary Daniels.
As finally agreed to the bill author
ICES the construction in 1917 of five
battle cruisers, as against two dread
naughts and two battle cruisers rec
commended by Secretary Daniels, four
scout cruisers, an increase of one over
the Departments program, 10 destroy
ers as against 15 recommended; 20
submarines, three to be 80Q.ton boats,
compared with five feet and rs coast
defense submarines recommended; !;
one hospital ship, one oil fuel ship and
one ammunition ship. The gunboat
recommended was stricken out and the
fuel and ammunition ships were added
from Secretary Daniels program for
the second year.
The total amount carried by the bill
ls S240,00O,OO0; the largest naval ap.
preparation ever presented to ongress.
While the appropriation is, IL any
thing. an increase over the Depart
ment's plans, failure OF the flve.year
program and the fact that no dread.
naughts were provided for, make the
Dill unsatisf' ctory to Administration
officials. Secretary Daniels said he
never lost hope Of getting what he
asked for until Congress adjourned.
1t was clearly indicated that the
Senate. which has not yet taken up
consideration Of the naval bill even
In committee was relied upon to re.
store the battleships. The Senate has
never failed to increase the program
for the Navy mapped out by the
House, and Navy officials are conf.
dent that the final bill will provide
for at least two battleships and four
battle cruisers.

REORGANIZATION BILL
Upper House Passes Conference Re.
port Without Roll Call.

Upper House Passes Conference Re-.
port Without Roll Call.
Washington.-The senate after an
all-day debate agreed to the conference
report Of the army reorganization bill
without roll call. The house is
expected to approve the report with.
in day or two and send the first Of
the big national defense measures to
the president.
The bill provides for a regular
army Of 211,0O0 officers and men at
peace strength, and approximately
100000 at war strength, and for
Federalized National Guard Of $4,000
officers and men at maximum strength.
Senator Lodge criticised the house
for not accepting the larger. Chair
man Stone said he was so anxious to
see the nitrate provision enacted that
he would be almost willing to agree
to any size army necessary, but in.
sisted there was no need Of an in.
creased army. Senator Brandegee,
author Of the amendment for regu.
lar standing army OF 250,000 men at
peace strength, declared the English
language was inadequate to express
his disgust at the conference action
and said he hoped "the good Lord
who guards the drunkard and the fool
will save the nation"
