ARE FULLY CARRIED OUT

Washington, Dec. 13.-Neither the
end of hostilities nor proposals for q
League of Nations has altered the
policy of the general board of the
navy in regard to make the American
navy second to none in the world.
Rear-Admiral Charles j. Badger,
chairman Of the executive committee
of the board, today told the House
Naval Affairs committee that the
navy should be equal to that of any
other nation by 1926 and urged that
sufficient appropriations TO make
this possible me made by Congress.
1.-THE general board believes that
under the present world conditionss
and the conditions likely to obtain
in the future" Admiral Badger said i,
"the United States Navy should stead
lily continue to increase. Ultimately
it should be equal to the most pow
erful maintained by any other ma
tion of the world. Year by year de-
velopment should be made as CON
sistent 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 its wealth, intiu-
ence and power, will be called upon
to contribute a large share OF the
international police force to render
such league effective"
Duty Of Navy i'm Future.
The duty of the navy in the flu
ture, the Admiral said win be not
only to guard the country against in
vasion, but to protect as well the
great merchant marine now being
built.
Sea powers will always remain Il
factor of vast Importance in inter
national relations Admiral Badger
declared THE great naval lesson
of the war has been that the nation
possessing the most powerful Navy
was able in a few weeks to drive
the German merchant flag from the
seas and to keep open her own trade
routes, and yet, when the war com
menced Germany possessed the see
ond best navy in the world. It
proved not to be good enough. The
blockade which she was not able to
break was the greatest contributing
cause of her ultimate collapse"

o'clock. The U. s. S. George Wash
ington, on which President Wilson is
making the voyage from the United
States is expected to reach Brest
Roads shortly before that hour.
Immediately the George Washing
ton comes to anchor outside the har-
bor which is made necessary by the
fact that the steamer draws too
much water to enter port. Colonel
House, General Bliss and Messrs.
Auchincloss and Grew will imme-
diately board the steamer and confer
with President Wilson, imparting to
him whatever information they have
and the impression they have gath
cred from the French people and Off
cials and diplomatic officers concern
ing the feeling regarding President
Wilson's visit.
When President Wilson arrives at
the Bois de Boulogne station at 10
o'clock Saturday morning it is antici-
pated that he will be welcomed by
large crowds. Householders in the
Champs Elysees, the Roe Royale, the
Rue MOnceau and other streets
through which the President will
pass, have rented window spaces for
spectators at fancy prices. In addi-
ton, throngs are expected to line the

wereless to The Associated Press)-
President Wilson learn today by
wireless from Col. Edward NJ
House that the plans of the French
government contemplate the peace
conference getting down to its ses-
siOns prior to January 8, and he at
once began arranging his plans so as
to utilize the intervening time to
clear up his visits to the battle front,
the American troops and Italy and
other functions in order to leave his
time entirely free when the confer
ence begins.
In the meantime he will have in
formal conferences with Premior
Lloyd George of Great Britain, Pre-
mier Clemenceau of France, Pre-
mier Orlando of Italy and others, to
smooth out any point of difference
which may arise between the United
States and the allies with regard to
the ground work of the conference.
The President is planning to avoid
vigorously all functions not neces-
sarily of an official nature and will
veto all pleasure trips. On his ar
rival in Paris Saturday he will be re-
ceived by President and Madame
Poincare. On that day he will be
the guest of honor at public recep-
tion and later will receive a degree
