l.. $. NAVAL PREPARATION
 IS GREATEST IN HISTORY

PARIS, Feb. 2O.-The naval pre- parations of the United States are discussed by the Temps. which in giv- ing details of the program adopted by the United States congress, says that never in the history of the world has a power entered upon so great an enterprise in naval con struction as the United States is now doing, and calls attention to the fact that England in her last naval ap- propriation before the war began, al lotted only 391.0O0.OOO francs for new construction. The Temps alludes to the words of peace recently uttered by the President in which it was an ticipated that hostilities would cease without conQueror or conquered, and adds:
 But the United States prepares for the future and its naval projects reveal a desire to conquer in the event of war. Today the United States counsels peace to the belligerenls but 1t seems to be preparing to i'm pose it tomorrow by arms"

WASHINGTON, D.

It is a financial axiom in London that all the gold and silver which is sent to India annually by the British government is immediately absorbed and passes quickly out of circulation.
