War Ships to be Added
in Three Years.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-The gen.
eral naval bill directing immediate
construction Of four dreadnoughts and
four battle cruisers of the most mod
ern type came up for the senate's fin
al approval today. With the propor-
tionate number Of scout cruisers, de-
stroyers, submarines and air craft,
this program will cost for the first
year s315 100000 At the end Of three
years, the time set for completing the
program, the United States will have
added 157 war vessels Of all types and
will have, in the opinion of United
States experts, navy superior to any
other except England's. The cost OF
the three year program will be $685.
ls0,576 for vessels alone. The terms
of the senate bill, however, have yet
to meet the approval Of the house.

SECOND NAVY IN WORLD
IF BILL CAN BE ADOPTED

Senator Swanson, in charge of the
measure, expecting opposition in the
house, has conducted a quiet cam
paign organizing the big navy forces
for several days. He predicted today
that although there will be warm
contest, the house finally would adopt
measure similar to the senate.
In addition to the naval program,
the bill provides a government own.
ed armor plant and the equipment OF
four navy yards-Puget Sound, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia and Norfolk-for
the construction of batleships.
While some of these warships are
to be built in government yards, It
is expected that the armor plate plant
will not be finished in time to furnish
material for any on the present pro.
gram.
The bill also provides that line Of
ticers of the navy hereafter shall be
promoted by competition and selec.
ton, rather than by seniority and fol
many reorganizations within the navy
department
The largest previous naval bill was
for $500. 200, 900 by Great Britain II

rageous assault on citizens OF this
country" Senator Thomas Of Colorado
today advocated reprisals of q severe
nature.
"The need for a strong navy is en-
phasized by the boycott which Great
Britain announces against some or
our citizens" he said, discussing ths
naval bill. II cannot understand s1e
widespread sympathy Cor the allied
cause in this country when England
continually repeats its bull doing
attacks on our commerce. I do not
think hostilities will result, but I do
believe in any means of reprisal and

every means of force with which we
can furnish it, to rectify the s1tua-

Madden, Illinois, to inform congress
If an emergency still exists in the re-

and Mexico and If SO, why he has
not issued a draft for the national
guard.
Madden's resolution propounds 9th
er queries regarding the health of
militiamen on the border, their equip
ment, and the number Of men who
are now in camps.
Madden says there is utter confu-
sion as to the exact legal status Of
the national guard. One of his queries
to the president reads as follows:
IF there is no emergency. why is
a large part of the guard kept on the
border under the most distressing
climatic conditions"
