AIN TO SINK
 SHIP ALLOTMENT
Thus She Will Relieve This Country From Carrying
 Out Naval Program.
FRANCE AND ITALY
 WILL KEEP SHIPS
Desire of American Experts to Dispose of Hun Ships
 Based on Economy.

Paris, March 10-A change in
 the attitude of the British qov-.
 ernment regarding the plan to
 sink informed German war ships has been observed since
 Premier Lloyd Georges return
 to Paris. It now appears prob-
 able Great Britain will be will
 ing to permit France and Italy
 to keep some of the ships, but will consent to sink her OWn
 allotment.
 Thus Great Britain would relieve the United States from carrying out her projected naval program, which. 1t is understood was intended to prevent any one nation from having
 such a predominant navy as would give her control of the seas against the powers of the League of Nations The addition of a, limited number of the German warships to France and Italy would not sensibly disturb the present balance of naval power, excluding Austria and Germany. The desire of American naval ex- i perts that the German ships be eIirn- i mated completely, it is said is based 1 on considerations of economy as they | hold that, if the German ships were 1 given to Great Britain in the propor- | ton proposed, the United States l would be compelled to spend one l billion dollars to maintain her place 1 in the naval lists.
