U.S.. TO BUILD SHIPS
EQUAL TO jAPAN'S
Navy General Board Recon-
mends Increased Size
and Less Speed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. g. Preliminary
work on the 1918 national defense pro-
gramme moved forward again to-day In
both the naval and military committees
of the House with Rear Admirals
Badger and Fletcher OF the Nays Gen.
eral Board before the former and Quar-
termaster General Sharpe again before
the latter.
The two Admirals told Of the boards
recommendation for an enormous in
crease IN size and power and . smaller
increase in speed for the ba~ttleships to
be provided for at this session OF Con
gress. Because of the tend ,ncy OF Euro
pean navies to build even larger ships
and guns. and because there Is reason to
believe that Japan already has under
construction a more powerful ship than
has yet been planned for the United
States. Admiral Badger said the board
found it necessary that the American
navy follow n similar policy. He said
the board had recommended main bat
teries OF twelve is inch guns. an in
crease Of 50 per cent. in gun power over
1917 ships. and a speed Of twenty-three
knots an hour.
A statement issued to-day by Secre-
tary Daniels indicates that the recon-
mendations OF the board will he approved
when the Departments opinion IL laid
before the committee. The new dread
noughts will displace probably more than
10000 o rs against the $4,000 for the
California class n succeeding ships.
Our new ships will embody the gen.
cral characteristics OF armament the
general board recommends" the Secre-
tary's statement said. after explaining
that only the question OF limited faciii-
ties led the Secretary to alter the boards
recommendations to ouild four battle-
ships and two battle cruisers In 1917 to
three battleships and one battle cruiser.
Gen. Sharpe brought out before the
Military Committee the fact that the
army still IL far behind In recruiting for
the 1917 increment OF the increase IN
strength already authorized. His state
ment was In line with that Of Major
General Hugh l.. Scott. chief Of stan. In
his annual report. made public to-day.
Gen. Scott declared that universal mill
tary training n service would he the
only solution TO the recruiting problem.
Secretary Bakers attitude on the uni
versal service question has not been dis
closed. II was stated authoritatively to-
day that the Secretary had read Gen.
Scotts report before 1t was published and
authorized the fullest publication OF the
views of the general stan as there stated.
but reserving his own judgment. Mr..
Bakers views probably will be drawn out
before the committee.
Universal service also came up az the
Badger saying that this was the zone
grand answer" to all problems OF obtain
Ing crews for navy ships. He disap-
proved Of a suggestion by Representative
Butler that a bonus system to encourage
enlistments be established.

Veteran Explains How His
Ancestors Fled Hitler From
Jail in Salem.

Joseph ". Choate explained yesterday
to members OF the New York Genealogi-
cal and Biographical Society by what
"a narrow chance It happened that he
ever got to New York.
Prof. william Macdonald OF Brown
University mad read n paper on witch
craft in Salem Village" to the members
of the society. who met at 226 West
Fifty-eighth street. when the president.
Clarence Winthrop Bowen. asked Mr..

II know n lot about witchcraft and
the black arts said Mr.. Choate. 81
was born In Salem under the shadow Of
Gallows Hill. where many OF the Salem
witches were hanged. As n boy !
studied the subject very carefully and
examined all the old records of the
trials which were preserved In the
Salem courthouse. Two OF my ances-
tors came from Ipswich to Salem during
the period of the witch trials TO protest
against them.
Two other ancestors, Philip English,
n wealthy merchant, and his wife, were
accused OF witchcraft at that time. They
were arrested for witchcraft and jailed.
But fortunately by wit or influence they
escaped from jail and fed to New York
and here I am"
Mr.. Choate added with n twinkle IN
his eye that he thought the modern
theory Of disbelief in witches and their
arts has arisen from q general decline In
faith.
II was brought up to believe in
Satan.' he said. land ! believe that
Satan In person Is raging through
Europe. not only seeking whom he may
devour but d%evouring thousands"
