The Wreck Of the EsmeraIda.

SENATE VOTES
LARGER NAVY
Ballots to Increase Force to
100000 Bluejackets and
10000 Marines.

Here's your time to enlist. The gov
ernment now wants a total force of 15O-
600 bluejackets and $1,000 land and sea
soldiers" in her navy. The Senate yes
terday passed the bill increasing the ma
val and marine forces to the new war
strength.
There was little debate on the main part
Of the bill. But Senator McCumber, of
North Datoka, insisted that 5000, 900
should be spent for investigation of de-
fenses against submarines He exhibited
a small model Of a net to keep the sub
marines away from vessels. Senator
Swanson, who is acting chairman of the
Committee on Naval Affairs, assured SEN
Rtor McCumber that some of the great
est experts in the world were now deIy-
ing into the problem.
During the discussion, Senator Lodge
said that Great Britain had found the
nets were little protection against the
undersea craft, and so has abandoned
the nets.
Late yesterday the Senate passed the
bill allowing citizens of countries not at
war with the United States, who wished
to become citizens here to enlist in the
naval reserve. One years 81 vice will
constitute qualification for naturaliza-
ton. It Is said that many Scandinavian
sailors on the Great Lakes can thus be
drawn not only into the naval reserve,
but into the melting pot OF this country.

The United States has been forced to
go to France to obtain aeroplanes for its
army. Machines of American manufac-
ture have failed completely to meet the
War Department tests, it was learned
yesterday, and as a result. contracts for
supplying the entire army of 100000 men
will be placed abroad.
The initial order for 1900 machines has
already been placed. it is understood
and further contracts are to be made
which will run into the tens of thousands
The Advisory Commission on aviation,
after close survey of the field, has noti-
fed the War Department that France
will be able to supply all the machines
needed by the American army.
These facts became known yesterday in
connection with the first open move of the
government to put the air service on a
war footing. This was the appointment
of Prof. Hiram Bingham, of Yale UnIyer-
sity, as Director of Cadet instruction
Prof. Bingham has been attached to the

Wilson, at White House Con-
ference, Decides on Dras-
tic Step. Urges Congress to
Speed Up.

At a two hours conference at the
White House last night it was determin-
ed that minimum food prices shall be
fixed and a food dictator appointed. Her
bert C. Hoover will be the NAV.
The conference was called by the Pres
lidsntas the first Of a series designed 10
speed up the war program now pending
before Congress. Without accusing eth
er branch Of loafing on the job, the Pres
ident has been known for some days to
be dissatisfied with the lack Of energy
shown by the legislative bodies.
Important measures, affecting the whole
conduct of the war, are lying on the ta-
BILE awaiting action, while members
waste precious hours in long-winded dis
cnssioDs OF abstract questions.
This situation was put plainly before
the Senate and House Agricultural com
mittees last night by the President. 1t
was intimated that the committees in
charge of military and naval affairs
might be the next to go on the carpet.
Moving on Low Gear.
Besides the Senate and House AgricuI-
tural Committees. thirty-seven legislators
in all, headed by Senator Gore and Rep
resentative Lever, CO-authOrs of the Gore
Lever food bill now before the commit
tees, Secretary Of Agriculture Houston
attended the meeting. The wheels Of the
department are moving on only low gear
at present, despite the threatened food
crisis. because of the lack of authority
and money to go ahead. tan appropria-
tion Of S25. COO authorized by the bill
is badly needed in starting the depart
ment's institute work throughout the
country.
Although the situation was put plainly
before the two committees and the pledge
given that they would move as rapidly as
possible, there is little hope for action on
the food situation within ten days or
more
I'VE can't do two things at once" a
ranking member OF the House committee
told the President. The revenue bill has
the floor now and it will have to get out
OF the way before We can do anything
By the time the revenue decks are cleared
we will be ready to bring in our bill"
Complete Control.
The most definite decision of last
nights meeting was that the bill will be
put before Congress in such a way as
to give complete control of the food
stuffs situation to the President He in
turn will delegate it to a food commits
sioner, who in reality will be food die
tator OF the country.
Herbert c. Hoover, who made fame for
himself as chairman of the Belgian re-
lief commission, has been definitely Sc
lected for that post II was indicated at
the White House last night.
Mr.. Hoover was not at the conference
but for the last week has been in daily
consultation with the President.
