Opposition From Two Sources.

Opposition is expected from two
sources-first. the farmers, who are ex-
pected to protest against anything
which will lessen the prices they are
now getting for their products, and,
secondly, the exporters and shipping
interest, who will resist legislation
threatening to curtai1 foreign trade.
Interna tional questions also are like
ly to enter into the fight between the
proponents and opponents of the en-
barge proposition. It is said that
sympa pathizers with the allies will not
view with favor a policy tending to
the starvation of the nations of Europe
that are able to buy of the United
States and that are dependent, in part
or in large measure, upon this country
for food supplies.

Where se,ooo,ooo Will Be Spent.

While Rear Admiral Harris was ex-
planning the navy's estimates for yards
and docks expenditures for the coming
fiscal year, "a formal announcement
was made yesterday afternoon at the
Navy Department that the $4,000, 900
appropriated by Congress last year
for enlargement of navy yards would
be spent at Boston. Philadelphia, Brem-
erton, Norfolk, Charleston, S. c., and
Portsmouth, n. H.
Admiral Harris told the naval affairs
committee of conditions at all yards
included in the estimates for next year.
but indicated that various new plans
are being held up pending report
from board of officers under Rear
Admiral Helm. now making study Of
navy Yards. While the report has not
been made public. it is understood that
one of the projects will include a sepa-
ration of the military and industrial
activities at the New York and Mare
Island yards and the virtual rebuilding
of the Norfolk plant.
1t is believed that the board will
recommend the establishment of a base
for the fleet on an island to be made
in New York harbor just south Of the
Statue of Liberty, on Bedloes Island.
The present yard would be continued
as an industrial plant. A similar plan
may be proposed for Mare Island, a
fleet base being established in San
Francisco bay, while the present yard
will be continued as repair plant.

CHANGERS CONSIDER
RELOCATING HERE.
Establishment of Headquar-
ters in Washington Suggest
ed by National Master.
AGAINST LIQUOR TRAFFIC

Re-establishment of headquarters of the
National Grange in Washington, so that
the farmers fraternal body may keep
close tab on legislation in Congress vitality
affecting it, may be consummated as the
result of the golden jubilee convention
which closes here tomorrow.
The national headquarters of the Pa
irons Of Husbandry was located here for
many years. but several years ago was
moved to the middle west. In his annual
address to the present convention Oliver
Wilson. national master, suggested that
the national headquarters of the grange
be moved back to the National Capital,
where the grange was founded fifty years
ago.
The grange this morning unanimous
ly passed the resolution, presented ear
lier in the week. calling upon Congress
for national prohibition and for pro-
hibition in the District of Columbia.
The grange reaffirms its position In
favor of nationwide prohibition, and
urges Congress to submit such an
amendment to the states for action by
them. We further urge upon Congress
the earliest possible action toward pro-
hibiting the liquor traffic in our Ma
tional Capital and the District of Co
lumbia," read the resolution.
May Adopt "Brief" Tonight.
Th brief for the farmers which
will set before the country the farm
ers' views Of the present high cost OF
living, absolving the farmers from
blame, probably will be presented to
the convention tonight for adoption.
special committee, headed by c. o.
Raine of Missouri, has been at work on
the matter all day, and this afternoon
it was expected that the completed
brief would go under final revision and
probably be presented to the conven-
tion tonight.
This will be the farmers official say
so on the prices of foodstuffs. absolv-
ing him from guilt in the present high
cost of living, and pointing out TO the
people of the country that the farmer
is in no sense to blame for the cost of
commodities, since every item entering
into the cost of production has risen
to the agriculturist, and he is perforce
compelled to raise the price of his
product
May Be in Session Tomorrow.
The National Grange was to have ad
journed it's session tonight, but the
press of business. including the matter
of the re-esta ablishment of the national
headquarters here, is SO great at the
last minute that probably the conven-
tion will continue it's sessions tomor-
row.
This was the schedule originally
planned, but the mass of business
seemed to clear up a little yesterday.
and it was decided to adjourn tonight.
But today business doomed up large
again and the grangers stated that un-
less they have an "all-night" session
they probably will meet again tomor-
row.
A resolution asking Congress to raise
the rate Of taxation on large incomes
was passed by the grange today. as was
a resolution asking greater restriction
Of government liquor licenses in states
having prohibition.
The next meeting of the National
Grange will be held in st. Louis.

PLAN FOR STORAGE
Of NAVAL FUEL OIL
Proposed to Build Under
ground Tanks With Capacity
of $4,000, 900 Gallons.
MILLION DOLLARS ASKED

Enormous quantities of fuel oil will
be stored by the navy, indications of
this appearing today in the testimony
of Rear Admiral Frederick Harris,
chief of the bureau of construction and
repair before the House committee on
naval affairs. Underground tanks hold
ing 53,OO0,OoO gallons of fuel oil more
than now stored by the navy have
been planned by the department, and a
request for a round million dollars to
build these tanks was explained today
by Admiral Harris. One million dol
lars does not represent the entire cost
of the tanks, but is the amount the
navy needs in addition to money al
storage tank building.
THE European war has proved that
oil tanks above ground and in sight
can be destroyed easily" said Admiral
Harris. There has been much criti-
cism of the tanks above ground. We
now propose to build storage places for
oil in a manner to prevent them from
being blown up by bombs"
Locations of New Tanks.
The tanks and their capacity, as pro-
follows:
Guantanamo. 100000 gallons; Pearl
Harbor, 100000 gallons: Puget
Sound. 100000 gallons; San Diego. s.
OOo, 600 gallons: Mare Island, 100000
gallons, and Melville. Il. J., 100000
gallons.
The present capacity of all tanks
now at the six stations mentioned is
less than 30.000,000 gallons, and the
53.00o,oo0 million gallons to be stored
underground is to be in addition to
the oil now stored above ground. 1t
is also understood that the Navy De-
partment may present a project to store
further enormous quantity OF 1uei
oil in the interior of the country. Ihis
was not made a part OF the nearing
today. however.
The members of the committee asked
many questions about the value of the
station at Guam. Admiral Harris said
it had potential strategic value. The
island has a radio station, and the har-
Dor is not fortified.
Fortifcations in Future.
Estimates for the purchase of land
surrounding the harbor indicated to
the committee members that a plan
will be presented for the complete for
tification of the station, which is now
defenseless.
