 NAVAL PLAN
American Navy to be Sec ond to None-Demand as Great Now as Before.

Washington, Dec 12-Neither the end. of hostilities nor proposals for a league of nations has altered the pol icy of the general board of the navy in regard to making the American navy second to none in the world. Rear Ad- miral Charles J. Badger, chairman of the executive committee of the board, today told the house naval affairs com- mittee that the navy should be equal to that of any other nation by 1925 and urged that sufficient appropriations to make this possible be made by con gross.
 ''The general board believes that under the present world conditions and the conditions likely to obtain in the future," Admiral Badger said, "The United States navy should stead fly continue to increase. Ultimately it should be equal to the most powerful maintained by any, other nation of the world. Year by year. development should be made as consistent with the facilities of the country, but the limit above defined should be attained not later than 1925.
 "Navies must be the principal sup port of a league of nations, and the United States, from it's wealth, influ- ence and power. will be called upon to contribute a large share of the in- ternational police force to render such league effective"
 The duty of the navy in the future, the admiral said will be not only to guard the country against invasion, but to protect as we'll the great mer- chant marine now being built.
 Admiral Badger, stated that pro- visions for 108 destroyers is made in the 1920 three year program. There are now 342 either built or being built, he said, and in 1925, there will therefore, be total of 45O, compared with England's 516 at present.
 "The submarine program calls fol 21 fleet submarines, 146 s. type, 24 anti-submarine, and AZ mine layers, he said. "There are now built build ing or authorized, a total of 169 coast submarines and 12 fleet submarines The general board estimates that z total of 294 S. type boats are required and recommends that 75 be authoriz ed now.

BRITISH ELECTION
 SATURDAY.
Small Interest Manifested Member of Ministry
 Fails to Attract Hearers.

London Dec. 12.-British voters will go to the polls Saturday in the parliamentary elections under cir cumstances wholly novel an the his tory of the country. All the ballot ing will be done in one day, instead of there being elections in different districts spread over weeks, with long drawn out excitement and sus- pense. Another novel proceedings will take place when the contests close. This will be due to the fact that the votes will not be counted for a fortnight in order that the ballots of soldiers abroad may be received and opened with the others.
 Aside from the politicians and the newspaperss no election in memory has been attended with so little public interest. An example, a meeting which was to have been addressed by Dr. Christopher Addison, minister of reconstruction, attracted only a handful of boys. Never before has a member of the ministry. failed to draw an audience in the last week of a campaign, politicians aver.
 David. Lloyd George, the prime minister, Herbert H. Asquith and other political leaders addressed crowded smeetings, but this was not considered unusual, as they usually draw large audiences, no matter what their topic.
 I Among the political leaders the re- turn of MT. Lloyd Georges coalition to power is unauestioned, although it may command only minority ot the votes on account of the number of candidates in the field. Elections went by default in 107 districts or nominating days because only one candidate was put forward. Seventy of them were coalitionists. There are 600 contested seats with a total o1
 1,51S candidates running for them i In 513 of these districts each has :
 Georges government through thicl
 candidate pledged to support Lloyt or thin, if elected. They are knowl as the official coalition candidates: O.
 them 35S are conservatives, 113 fiber als and AZ others of various parties
 Of the 1005 running outside thu coalition, 271 are Asouith liberals. 4! conservatives and 376 laborites. Th'
 ferent platforms, including Sim
 remainder are running on sixteen diff
 Feiners, 50 Nationalists and variou
 socialists groups, the federation O
 soldiers and agricultural, women ant
 seamen's factions.
 The original question put befor the voters was whether the countr, I would endorse the coalition govern , ment which has managed the last tw years of the war and given it a neS lease of, life for reconstruction an arranging peace.
 Premier Lloyd Georges program for domestic reform has met with n opposition, only criticism on tn ground of vagueness and questionln where the money is to come from, 10 the spacious projects of housing fo the working men and land for the dls charged soldiers.
 The question of conscription ma come to the front at the eevent hour. .,
 The Liberals and Laborites are nc : satisfied with MT. Lloyd George r declaration that the countrv's futut v military policy is dependent upon tn p result of the peace conference. The 5 demand the unconditional scrappln | of conscription with the signing y peace. A HE1

 Crown Prince Alexander of Serbia, will be in Paris over Christmas, as will also King Victor Emmanuel, of Italy. Immediatly after the Christ mas holidays, the President probably will go to Italy, returning to Paris on January 3rd, ready to attend the peace conference.
 In the meantime, he will visit the devastated portion of France and General Pershing at the front fer a view. He probably vii march at the head of the American column in combined demonstration in Paris.
 On Board the U s. s. George Washington, Tuesday, Dec. 10.-(By Wireless to The Associated Press J. The George Washington rounded the Azores this morning, running close in to give the President an opportunity to catch glimpse of the American naval base.
 At dawn flotilla of American des- troyers from the Brest squadron came over the horizon and soon after break fast the Islands were sighted, low ly- ing in the early mist. The Portuguese warships were saluted and returned a salute of twenty one guns.
 The dreadnaught Pennsylvania broke out signals to the flotilla to follow, and the Presidents flag was flown from the Washington's main peak. The augmented escort then spread out in broad column and the islands were rounded the fleet head ing toward Brest, which probably will be reached Friday afternoon.
 President Wilson spent his time in hard work during the morning, and dined with the members of the com mission and the two ambassadors in the evening.
