HUNS TO PAY BELGIUM FIRST
Allied Council Grants Priority To
Devastated People for
Reparation.

Paris.-The council has signed a
document giving formal approval to
priority for Belgium in reparations to
be paid by Germany, to the amount of
$500, 100000 francs. The council also
confirmed the plan to wipe out the
Belgian war debt through the substi-
tuition of German bonds for the Bel
gian obligations, the four great pow
ers to take over the German bonds,
subject to the approval of their re-
Bpective legislative bodies.
The bonds the powers propose to
take over are of special issue which
the peace terms require Germany 10
make, to reimburse Belgium for all
the sums she was obliged to borrow
in consequence Of the violation of the
treaty of 1889
The American delegation proposed
sometime ago to give Belgium prior
lty in the reparations, and also ap.
proved the plan for eliminating her
war debt, but final decision was de.
ferred until the treaty had been com.
pleted.

army measure, began consideration OF
the annual naval appropriation bill,
carrying $646, 272,OOO, an increase O.:
$45,000,000 over the house bill
Final vote on the army bill was
delayed temporarily by protracted
discussion of the peace treaty and
league of nations. In this connection
Senator Borah, republican, of Idaho,
opposed the increase Of the army for
1920 from 100000 to 100000 men, but
without record vote the senate ap,
proved the 100000 provision, which is
estimated to give pay and subsistence
for $4,000 men in the army after next

pal items of the army bill are $685..

Daniels May Accom-
pany Fleet.

Washington.-The recently created
Pacific fleet, now being organized
from vessels heretofore forming a part
of the Atlantic forces, will sail from
Hampton Roads for the west coast
between July is and 20, Secretary
Daniels announces Mr. Daniels prob
ably will be passenger on one Of the
warships making the trip to the Pa
cific through the Panama Canal
The superdreadnought New Mexico
will fly Admiral Hugh Rodman's flag
as flagship Of the Pacific fleet and the
Pennsylvania will remain the flagi
ship Of the Atlantic fleet. The com.
position of the two fleets, Secretary.
Daniels announced, will be made pub.
lie within a few days.
When it was first decided to make
the Atlantic and Pacific fleets Of
equal size and strength, the plan was
to send all of the oil burning ships to-
the west coast and to keep the coal
burning vessels in the Atlantic, due to
the geographical disposition of the
nations fuel resources. This plan has
been abandoned, it was announced,
because of the fact that such divis.
ion would necessarily make the two
fleets unequal in size and gun power
almost all the newest and best ships
being oil burners. Under the final dij
vision the two chief units will be as
nearly equal in number Of ships, gun
power, speed and all other elements
as it is possible to make them.
