SUBCOMMITTEE

Bill Must Yet Be Approved By Full Committee And Then By Whole Senate. Adds 10 Destroyers Also
(py Review Leased Wire )

WASHINGTON, June 26.-A provis- ion for completion within three years of the navy general boards building program of sixteen capital ships was written into the naval bill by sen ate subcommittee ee coday on the recom- mendation of President Wilson.
 The subcommittee previously had agreed to accept the boards recom- mendation for completion of the pro gram by 1922. but reversed itself by unanimous vote after Secretary Dan iels had explained to the committee men at today's meeting that the Pres ident as well as navy officials was anx ious that construction be speeded up as much as possible. It is understood information regarding the rate at which European nations are building played an important part in the de- cision.
 20 More Eestroyers
 An addition of 10 destroyers to the building program for the coming year also was decided on by the subcom- mittee that would bring the total yes sels of this, type authorized for 1917 up to twenty.
 There were numerous other increas- es over the construction provisions in the bill as passed by the House. in- cluding substitution of eight capital ships next year-four battlecruisers and four dreadnaughts-for the House provision for five battlecruis- CTS and no dreadnaughts.
 The administration is particularly anxious that at least two dreadnaught be authorized. The subcommittee ex- poets to report Thursday to the full committee.

MExICANS AT FAULT

FIELD HEADQUARTERS, Mex. June 26.-It was both a peaceful and permissible mis- sion in which the two troops of the Tenth Cavalry com manded by Captain C. T. Boyd were engaged upon when they fought Carranza troops at Carrizal last Wednesday, according to the view express ed by officers today with Gen. eral Pershing's column. It was peaceful. they declared, because all the United States troops campaign had been done in execution of coopera- tion by CarranZistas and per missible because no limitation had been agreed upon between the two governments which would restrict patrolling by Americans. When General Jacinto Trevino's warning that his men would fire upon Amer ican troops moving in any di- rection except north. reached the expeditionary forces. they were moving north gradually raigning the present addinis- zistas would occupy the terri tory evacuated and police it.. In the meantime patrols were sent out on either side of the American column for protec- tive and observation purposes. They moved in whatever direc- ton their immediate desires demanded.

Not Empowered To Endorse

Henry F. Cochels, Of Wisconsin, raised the point that the committee had no authority to endorse any can didate and that its power was limited to the field of the vacancy caused by the refusal of Col. Roosevelt to run.
 Chairman Hale ruled that the mo- tion to endorse or recommend the Re- publican candidate for President was out of order and debate of several hours followed
 Finally Jas. R. Garfield appealed from the decision of the chair and was sustained in his contention by a vote of B to IA.
 During the discussion Raymond Robins opposed making any endorse ment and indicated that he would sup port President Wilson if the Progress siyes did not put a ticket in the field.
 MT Cochels said he expected to vote for Hughes but did not want the committee to take any action. He de clared that the Progressiyes should be permitted to go to any party they de- sired Bainbridge Colby argued it would be a mistake to attempt to de- liver the Progressive vote ro any can didate and that the method used might defeat the very object of the committee.
