Senator Lodge announced. following
the rejection of the amendment. he
would move later to eliminate the en-

WASHINGTON. Jan. War
conditions have brought about an
enormous increase In the cost OF
building warships. Rear Admiral
Taylor chief OF the bureau OF con-
strUction and repair. told the house
naval committee today in discussing
the 1920 naval appropriation bill.
lie estimated that the hulls and ma
chinery Of the 10 battle ships and
six battle cruisers authorized M
1916 would cost nearly S150.00O.-
900 more than estimated-an in

Admiral Taylor said he did not
think it was likely that the end OF
hostilities would result IN any speedy
reduction IN costs After the civil
war, he said, there was no appre-
cable lowering OF costs Of labor and
materials within three years.
Contractor Loses.
The battleship Mississippi Ga new

"A bid under the estimated cost OF

decided 20 build them in its own
navy yards and the cost Will amount

applies 20 the hulls and machinery

how much the increase will be for
the armor and armament, but will

Exercise Great Economy.
Admiral Taylor said the cost OF
constructing merchant ships has in
creased from S7J 20 $500 a ton, while
the cost Of battleships has increased
