-CONNAUGHT QUITS OFFICE
IN CANADA IN OCTOBER
King Approves Plan for Duke to Re-
tire at End of Term-Earl Cur
zon Mentioned as Successor.

LONDON. June 24.-King George has
given his sanction for the Duke of Con-
naught. whose term as governor gen.
eral of Canada expires next October,
to return to England, says an an
nouncement issued by the colonial Of
flee. The king also excused Prince AL
exander Of Teck, whose appointment
was made before the war, from being
the successor to the Duke of Con-
naught, as the prince feels he cannot
relinauish his military duties.
Nothing is known officially concern
ing the reports that Earl Curzon OF
kedleston, former viceroy of India, will
become governor general of Canada
The Times states that the rumor that
Earl CurZon is to succeed the Duke OF
Connaught is incorrect
The Duke of Connaught became gov
ernor general of Canada in October,
1911. At the outbreak of the war the
duke had arranged to leave Canada, as
the Prince of Teck had been announced
as his successor. A dispatch from OF
tawa earlier this week contained the
report that Earl Curzon would succeed
him.

to contain about 120,000.000 fish.

five-year construction policy similar TO
that drafted by the navy general board.
is understood to be acceptable to the
administration as meeting PRESIDENT
Wilson's request for an enlargement OF
the building program now carried by
the pending naval bill. AS 1t passed
the House the measure provides for
five battle cruisers and no dread
naushts. and contains no authorize
ton for a continuing policy.
The personnel increase approved by
the House was only 1900, bringing
the total enlisted strength to $1,000.
In addition to providing for a peace
strength of 74.700. the Senate sub
committee decided, on the recommen-

strength of the active list authorized
by law.
Thursday the subcommittee. COM
posed of Senators Tillman, Swanson
and Lodge, agreed tentatively on three
superdreadnaughts for 1917, and added

Corps to keep it on the basis of 20 per

The first treatment consist of five

lowed one day to recover from its i'll ef-

Light-Power Machines Unfit.

Gen. Funston has asked also for the
return to Columbus of the first ship
ment of lighter-power machines sent to
the border They were found insult
able by army aviators for the work
then before them and were sent to the
aviation school at San Diego. Until the
big machines can be given durable pro-
pellerS. however. it is proposed to get
the light craft back for such duty as
they can perform.
Lack of aeroplanes with the expedi-
ton in Mexico is blamed for the delay
in obtaining exact information as to
what happened at Carrizal. A field
wireless equipment of sufficient power
to cover the distance from that point to
the border or to the field base is bulky
affair, which requires motor trucks or
mule trains to transport 1t. and is not
usually carried with a small scouting
party.
