BRITISH STRIKE GROWS.
Conditions More Serious, Especially in
Belfast-Hunger May End Trouble.

London, Jan. 31.-There was still no
prospect early today of any betterment
in the labor situation in the United
Kingdom and il anything the situation
has become more serious. particularly
in Belfast.
The strike movement is spreading
and there are signs OF coming dis
orders which may entail the proclama
ton of martial law.
The seriousness of the situation is
not being ignored by the government.
It was the subject for discussion at a
special cabinet meeting yesterday.
while the board Of trade also is active
in an effort to bring about settlements.
but as yet without success.
The view taken by the government
is that any governmental interference
now would be unwise and perhaps dan
gerous. The strike movements are
local and against the advice Of the re-
spective trade unions. 1t appears to be
generally believed that the absence OF
strike pay for the men will soon bring
about the collapse OF the movement.

tentiou in military circles here.

Temporary Army Of 10000 Planned
by House Committee in Asking For
Funds.

Washington. ain. 81 Republicans OF
the senate today sharply attacked the
plan for dealing with German colonies
and occupied territories OF Turkey IN
Asia. which was announced In Paris
yesterday. had been proposed by Presi-
dent Wilson and accepted in principle
by the supreme council.
Senators Walsh, of Montana. ana
Lewis, of Illinois, democrats, expressed
doubt regarding the accuracy OF the
statements in the dispatches. The
later declared the reported plan would
violate the fundamental principle or
self determination Of peoples. as
applied to the German colonies, and said
he believed the real agreement was
merely for their temporary administra-
tion by the league Of nations.
"Preposterous Undertaking.
Senator Lodge. republican leader,
declared the report CT the plan. which
he said. would commit the United
States to cooperation in maintaining
order in the occupied territories. was
absolutely unbelievable" and senator
Knox, OF Pennsylvania, asserted that
the proposed obligations would involve
"a stupendous and preposterous under
taking"
Senator johnson. OF California, de-
nounced the method OF making public
the proceedings at the peace con-
ference and declared he would never
vote for treaty that provided for the
sending Of American troops to Africa
or Asia.
Senator Knox raised the question in
discussing the probable future size OF
the American army. Senator Lodge
said that apparently the United States
was. to take part Inv the management
of the German colonial possessions ard
asked II American troops were to be
used
Certainly. how could we maintain
order otherwise Senator Knox re-
piled. you can't rule those people by
moral suasion."
An Army Of 10000.
An army of 100000 men was unani
mousyl decided today by the house
military committee az the basis of
determining the appropriation for army
pay for the year beginning next July.
Committee members said the number
was expected to be the average
strength Of the year.
The decision marked the beginnins
OF the committees work OF framing the
anual military appropriation bill.Mem-
bers said it had no bearing on perman-
ent future military policy and that
while pay was figured for half a mil
lion men it did not follow that appro
priations for various branches Of the
service would be such as to provide
for an army actually organized as a
permanent force Of that size.
During the earlier part Of the year
it was said the army was expected to
exceed the half million mark. but
would be reduced below that number
with demobilization. Altho no final de-
cision was reached by the committee
it appeared that no effort would be
made to outline a permanent army re-
organization plan at this session OF
congress.

ing commissions today to the last
class of reserve officers trained at the
United States naval academy during
| the war. Secretary Daniels predicted
that there will be no recession Of
interest in the navy"
Not in your day. the naval secre-
tary told the young officers. will
there be any reduction of naval power.
We are now on the last stretch of
building the three year program Of
naval construction which was author
| lied three years ago."
| Secretary Daniels said he had no
doubt that congress would authorize
the recommendation Of President Will
! son for another three-years progra m
OF. construction. In building ships
| under that program he said types of
vessels would be constructed which
would keep our navy abreast of any
navy in the world"
I'VE shall not build against any ma
tion," the secretary continued, "be-
cause we have faith that the league
OF nations will bring about such
friendship and understanding among
all nations as will ultimately cause a
! reduction in armament and a conse-
quent decrease Of expenditures for
! naval strength. We shall not build
| against any nation, but SO long as this
republic needs navy. we must have
one, for our own protection and the
preservation OF the peace of the world,
that will be powerful, strong and mod :
ern.
We Must BE Strong.
1T would be a sin for America. rich
and powerful. to be beholden to any
other nation for protection. We must.
| in whatever sort OF world police shall
be needed, in the new order, con-
tribute as many units and as much
strength as. any other. nation.
I'VE must remember always that the
maintenance Of the Monroe doctrine
is our peculiar responsibility and duty.
and for It's proper. maintenance and
our duty to secure to all the smaller
nations of the world the rights to
which they are entitled. we must
maintain a navy strong enough and
powerful enough to measure up to
our responsibility and our obliga
tions."
Commissions were presented by the
secretary to 163 members of the fifth
and final reserve officers class at the
naval academy. who, having completed
the special course. were recommended
for temporary appointment as ensigns
! in the navy.
| In addition to the ten battleships,
to cost not over $21.00O,00o each. the
program as adopted provides for ten
scout cruisers to cost up to $4,000 900
each. 1t was decided to leave in abey-
ance the proposal to construct 1870
smaller craft, in order that the navy

Seems to me 1t would go against q
persons stomach, just before supper
like that, and anyway tea isn't fit for
~much-not unless you're sick or some
, thing. Looks to me like some people
in this city'd be willing to go crazy
II they thought that would help 'em to
be as heightened as AmbersOns. Old
Aleck Minafer-he's about the closest
old codger we gOt-he come in my of.
fee the other day, and he pretty near
had n stroke tellin' me about his
daughter Fanny. Seems Miss Isabel
Amberson's got some kind Of a dog
they call 1t q st. Bernard-and Fanny
was bound to have one, too. Well,
old Aleck told her he didn't like dogs
except rat terriers, because a rat ter
der cleans up the mice, but she kept
on at him, and finally he said all right
she could have one. Then, by George !
she says Amberson's bought their
dog, and you don't get one without
paying for 1t: they cost from fifty to
a hundred dollars up! Old Aleck
wanted to know If I ever heard of
anybody's buyin' a dog before, be
cause even a Newfoundland or a set
ter, you can usually get somebody to
give you one. He says he saw som
n in payin' Il niger a dime, or
even a quarter, to drown a dog for
you, but to pay out fifty dollars and
maybe more-well, sir, he like to
chOked himself to death, right there
in my Office! OF course everybody
realizes that Major ANDERSON is a fine
business man, but what with THROWN
money around for dogs, and every
which and what, some think all this
styles bound to break him up, IL his
family don't quit"
One citizen, having thus discOursed
to a visitor, came to a thoughtful
pause, and then added, Does seem
pretty much like squandering, yet
when you see that dog out walking
with this Miss Isabel, he seems worth
the money"
"What's she look like?"
"Well, SIR" said the citizen, "she's
: more than just about eighteen OF
.ybe nineteen years old, and I don't
NV as l know just how to put it
1ut she's kind of a delightful lookin'
young lady"
