\ DENT IN THE PROGRAM.

Republicans in congress, desperate
at the half-hcartcd manner in which
the Democrats are making provision
for an Increase In naval strength,
mustered up enough courage to make
determined fight for more dread
uaughts, more cruisers and more SUP
marines than was recommended by
the committee. OF course they were
voted down on the first two items,
but, strange to say. they succeeded IN
getting an Increase Of from thirty to
fifty on the submarines The appar-
ent reason for this result was that
great many Democrats from thu
seaboard states are little nervous
about the possibility Of being at
tackled by n hostile fleet. in which
event their locality would be the ones
TO endure the most serious damages,
and these welcomed the suggestion to
have enough OF the undcrsca boats to
constitute a better coast defense The
other items were rejected probably
because OF their cost. for the Demo-
Gratis are very "ccouomica". you
know. except when the spending Of
the peoples money appears to give
promise of increasing the Democratic
vote. but it is encouraging to note
