CONGRESS IS
 MAKING PROGRESS
According to Rear Admiral Blue The American Fleet in the Pa cific is Ready to Meet any Enemy Called Upon.

Washington, Feb. S.-Congress made progress today on national de- fense measures. The senate military committee closed its hearings on the army bills. The senate naval con- mittee reported favorably a bill for a government armor plate factory and recommended immediate passage of two emergency measures which passed the house yesterday.
 On the house side of the capital the naval committee virtually confn- led its examination to Rear Admiral Blue, chief of the bureau of navigation while the military committee received the proposals of the American Red Cross for greater government aid in Red Cross plans. During the day the committees heard delegations of pessi- mists who urged against any in- creases.
 The most striking statement brought was that of Admiral Blue, who declare the American navy was now ready to meet any enemy it might be called on to encounter in the Pa cifc. He declined to say what steps had been taken in the last year and q half to prepare the navy for emergen- cies.
 Chairman Padgett supported Ad- miral Blue in his determination not to reveal departmental secrets, over ruling Representative Britton's at tempt to find out, as he expressed it, whether the navy is now ready to fight Mir. Britton asserted that the general board had warned the de- partment year ago that it should be prepared, and he wanted to know what steps had been taken. The sen ate military committee probably will begin tomorrow the preparation of the bill it will propose to build up adequate land defenses.
 The house military committee will complete it's hearing probably next week. The continental army scheme many committee members believe will be abandoned in the bill it will submit
 in favor of measures designed to fed eralize the national guard.
