Naval Officers at
Problems Of the New
Building Program

ed yesterday by the House. The Senate's
building program was ratified by a vote
Of 2S3 to 81, and the personnel increase
by a viva voce vote. Senate increases in
appropriations for navy yards were dis
agreed to and it was voted to send the
bill back to conference for determination
of these points.
Indications today were that the con-
ferees would reach an early agree
ment on the questions still in dispute
and that the bill would be laid before
President Wilson for his approval in
a few days.
Increases written into the bill by the
Senate and approved by the House
provided for the construction of Isl
war vessels within the next three
years and an enlisted strength of a.
700 men.
