TWO STAGES OF PEACE MEET
First Will Be Brief, But the Second
Period May Last for Two
Years.

London, Dec. 1.-THE second stage
of the peace negotiations probably will
last two years.
This forecast comes TO the CORE
spondent from a diplomatic source
well informed about the work ahead
of the negotiators. Indeed. most diplo-
mats agree that everything points to
the peace negotiations having to be di-
vided into two stages. TIL first will
be brief. 1t Will concern itself prlmar-
lily with the concluding of a pact by
which rehabilitation and reconstruc-
ton in all war zones can be promptly
undertaken.
The second stage, however, will nee
essarily take up long period Of time,
since 1t will be devoted to the wider
issues of the European settlement and
the formation of a league of nations.

WILL POLICE THE SEAS
U. S. AND BRITISH NAVlES HAVE
BIG TASK.
Admiral Badger Urges Appropriations
Be Allowed to Make American
Fleet Big as Any.

Washington, Dec, 14.-Appropria-
tons to provide a navy for the United
States by 1925 as large as that of any
country was urged by Admiral Badger
of the general board of the navy be-
fore the house naval committee. He
declared the United States and Eng
land together could police the seas.
One hundred and fifty German and
seven Austrian submarines were sunk
in the war prior to August, Admiral
Badger told the committee, quoting re-
ports from Admiral Sims. He said
that the Germans had built 331 subma-
rines and that the Austrian underwa-
ter fleet comprised only 80 craft, ten
of which were obsolete. On August l
last, Admiral Badger said, the Ger
mans had 119 submarines operating in
the Atlantic and % In the Mediter-
ranean. while at the same time Aus
tria had IS in the Mediterranean.
Had the United States been fight
ing alone in the present war, the ad-
miral said, its lack of ships would
have been serious and perhaps fatal,
because 1t has been learned that the
navy must be strong enough not only
to protect from invasion, but also to
drive the enemy's navy from the seas.
He told the committee that the
country never has been and probably
never will he again, as well prepared
to build a powerful feet as at present,
Admiral Badger said the general
board had recommended, before the
armistice, instead of the three-year
program, as recommended by Secre-
tary Daniels. a siX-year. providing for
the construction of u battleships and
u battle cruisers.
Germany had SO capital ships in her
navy, including 10 dreadnaughts, when
the war began, and had seven other
dreadnaughts under construction. Ad-
miral Badger said. He added that he
believed work on the seven was dis
continued and material was used for
submarine construction.
The German gun that shelled Paris
was a "15-nch or one reduced to nine"
Admiral Badger said.

PRESIDENT OF
PORTUGAL SLAIN
Leader of Revolt of Year Ago
Shot Down at Railway
Station.
MOB KILLS The ASSASSIN
Doctor Paes, After Serving as Pro-
visional President, was Formally
Elected to That Office by D-
rect Universal Suffrage.

London, Dec. 17-Dr Sldonio Paes.
president of Portugal, was shot and
killed by an assassin shortly before
midnight, while he was In n railway
station at Lisbon.
Advices from Lisbon reporting the
assassination say that he was struck
by three bullets.
The presidents assailant, named
Jeetne, was killed by the croy%d.
DIR. Sldonio Paes, reported assas-
sinated in Lisbon, had welded ire
mendous political power in Portugal
for years.
1t was under his leadership that a
revolutionary force year ago this
month overthrow the government OF
DR.. Alfonso Costa and confiscated con-
troll.
Doctor Paes was named provisional
president and last April was formally
elected to that office by direct univer-
sal suffrage.
While his regime moved under fair
ly normal conditions, the presidents
life was constantly menaced by agents
Of political factions opposing him.
He was fired on December 6 by an
unidentified man. but the shot missed
Its mark. other plots against his life
were reported unearthed frequently.
On one occasion the police of Opor-
TO raIded house and seized score
Of political conspirators, together with
63 bombs.
Prior TO his assumption of the pres
idency of Portugal, Doctor Paes was
Portuguese minister to Germany. 1t
was reported, but without substantial
ton, that the following revolutionary
uprising was the result of German
propaganda to prevent Portugal from
rendering assistance to the allies.
Doctor Paes' first official action as
president was to decree religious and
political liberation and grant am
nesty to all political offenders, except
certain members of the old republican
government.
