Great plans for naval expansion
were included in the naval act ap-
proved August 2s of last year. These
had just begun to be carried out when
Germany a few days ago sent her
declaration that she repudiated all her
submarine pledges to the United
States. In addition. the present Con-
gress now has under consIderat tion a
bill which would expand last years
program slightly.
The act of last year authorizes the
President. who is tituIar commander
in-Chief of both the army and the
navy, to start construction before July
l, 1919. on l57 vessels Of various types
The following table shows the pro-
gram in detail. Secretary OF the Navy
Daniels finds he cannot build some Of
the vessels for the sums estimated or
appropriated on account Of the in
creased cost OF labor and materials
and he has requests before Congress to
increase the amounts he may spend:

Action "Un-American. "

The status of Washington as the
Capital OF the United States always
lends a national aspect to any meas
ure which vitality affects the people
of the District of Columbia, and the
question of prohibition, which in a
bill for the District is usurping a
good bit of the time of the present
Congress, is probably as interesting
to people in other parts of the coun-
try as it is here.
There is prevailing idea through
out the country that the result of
the "dry" fight for the District will
in large measure be accepted as a
precedent in other States, as efforts
toward national prohibition widen.
Although there have been substantial
arguments advanced by both sides in
the fight, to disinterested parties
there is but one proper course for
Congress to take regarding the Dis
trict. Most of the people outside of
Washington believe that the refcren-
dun will solve the question.
Under heading of "Cossacks in
Washington" the current number of
Chauberlain's Magazine sums up the
matter when it says, in part:
"The effort to dry up Washington
by methods Russian in their sim
plicity and directness has not made
a favorable impression on the ma
tion. Many who are in sympathy
with the saloon-elosing movement
have baked at the proposal to force
prohibition on nearly 100000 resi-
dents of the National Capital 1t is
feeling that the people themselves
should have the right to vote. T"
But now the Senate has defeated the
Underwood amendment which would
have given the people of the District
referendum. 1t is expected that the
House will follow the example OF the
Senate. Following this our National
