HUGE FLEET FOR
u. S. IS PLAN OF
NEXT CONGRESS

A vast naval program will be con-
sidered by Congress at the coming
regular session.
Until the estimates OF the Navy
Department are submitted, the eg-
gregate OF the ships asked FOR .will
not be known, but there is every in
dication of large appropriations ITO
be granted in order to put the United
States farther 10 the front in sea
preparations.
This time, Congress will, in all
likelihood, appropriate not only for
destroyers and smaller craft, but for
superdreadnaughts. great battle
cruisers and other powerful war
ships.
Huge WarshIpS Needed.
1t is beginning to dawn on men in
fluential with respect to American
naval policy that 1t will not do for
the United States simply to build
flocks OF destroyers and smaller ves-
sells and fail to keep abreast OF the
times in respect to big battleships.
Senator Swanson of Virginia, act
ing chairman OF the Senate Naval
Committee last session in the abb
sence of the veteran Senator Tillman,
who is in i'll health, predicted today
that Congress would provide a pow
erfuI naval program in the coming
regular session. He said he could
not give figures or estimate num-
bers of warships in the absence OF
Navy Department estimates.
Senator Swanson is one of those
who believes thoroughly in construct
ing great fleets of destroyers, but at
the same time doe not believe II
wise to overlook battleships of the
superdreadnaught and battle cruiser
types.
1--WE do not know what two or
three years may bring forth said
the Senator. "It is impossible to fore
see the course of events. We may
need great battleshipE in q few years
q great deal worse than we need them
now"
Debate Is Looked For.
No doubt there will be some con-
troversy in the coming session as to
whether the country should content
itself with simply building destroyers
and smaller vessels-on the theory
that the British fleet can take care
VI Tue NGEiudh ntdNy SHlps-OI
whether the United States should ex-
pand its navy to proportions which
will make 1t possible for this country
to face any nation on earth without
fear.
Those who believe In a great navy
take the position that this war might
end suddenly, and then the United
States might find itself in a situa-
tion where IL would have to annre-
hend the menace Ct some of the great
powers in a possible struggle in
which America would be single
handed.
How far the German fleet, secure
in the recesses of the Kiel canal and
fortified harbors on the north coast
Of Germany, has been built up, is
hard to tell. Anyhow, a great many
men in Congress will hold that this
is no time for the United States to

not yet got an effective shot across at
his agile enemy, dropping his revolver,
lodged under the rail to close. De
Spain, struggling to free himself from
the dying man, saw, through a mist,
the greenish eyes and the thirsty knife.
He fired from the floor. The bullet
shook without stopping his enemy, and
De Spain, partly caught under San,
ausky's body, thought, as Sassoon came
on, the game was up. With an effort
born Of desperation, he dragged hiln-
self from under the twitching giant

with his sight swimming, swung the
gun at Sassoon's stomach. He meant
to kill him. The bullet whirled the
white-faced man to one side and he
dropped, but pulled himself, full Of
fight, to his knees and, knife in hand,
painted forward. De Spain, rolling has.
thy from him, staggered to his feet
and, running in as sassoon,, tried to
strike, beat him senseless with the
butt Of his gun.
His own eyes were streaming blood.
His head was Keeling and he was
breathless, but he remembered those
Of the gang waiting outside. He. still
could see dimly the window at the
end Of the bar. Dashing his fingers
through the red stream on his fore
head, he ran for the window, smashed
through the sash into the patio and
found Sassoon's horse trembling at the
fusillade. Catching the lines and the
pommel, he stuck his foot up again
and again for the stirrup. It was use
less; he could not make it. Then,
summoning all Of his, fast-ebbing
strength, he threw himself like sack
across the horses back, dashed the
brute through the open gateway,
climbed into the saddle, and spurred
blindly away.

CHAPTER x.
After the Storm.

For week the search continued day
and night, but each day, even each
succeeding hour, reduced the expec.
tation Of ever seeing De Spain alive.
Spies working at Calabasas, others
sent in by Jeffries to Music noun
tain among the Morgans, and men
from Medicine Bend haunting Sleepy
Cat could get no word Of De Spain.
Deaf Sandusky and Logan had been
found dead at the Inn by Lefever on
the night after the fight. Fairly accu.
rate reports accounted for Gale Nor
gan, nursing wound at home, and
for Sassoon, badly wounded and under
cover somewhere in the gap. Beyond
this, information halted.
Toward the end Of the Week Mexi.
can sheepherder brought word in to
Lefever that he had seen in Duke
Morgan's stable Sassoon's horse-the
one on which De Spain had escaped.
He averred he had seen the blood
stained Santa Fe saddle that had been
taken off the horse when the horse was
found at daybreak >of the day follow.

raj to be cared for. There could be,
it was fairly we'll ascertained, no mis-
take about the horse-the man knew
the animal; but his information threw
no light on the fate of it's missing
rider.
Though Scott had known first of
De Spain's helpless condition in his
desperate flight, as regarded self-de-
tense, the Indian was the last to aban.
don hope Of seeing him alive again.
One night, in the midst of a gloomy
council at Jeffries' Office, he was
pressed for an explanation Of his con.
.fidence. It was always difficult for
Scott to explain his reasons for think.
