NAVY EXP ANSI0N
BILL IS REPORTED
TO U. S. SENATE
Republican Members Reserve
Right to Oppose Provision
Empowering President to
Suspend Program.

Washington, Feb. 26.-The $720,-
100000 naval appropriation bill, with
its new three-year building program,
was ordered favorably reported to-
day by the senate naval committee
without a dissenting vote. Repub-
lican members reserved the right
to oppose a provision empowering
the president to suspend the pro-
gram in his discretion.
There was no opposition to the
expansion feature, but the provi-
sion for suspension was adopted
on strict party vote OF 8 to o.
This authority was written into the
bill by the house, with a view to
its use if developments toward dis
armament in the peace conference
made it desirable.
Wilson Urges Three-Year Program.
The bill was discussed at con-
ference today between President
Wilson and Secretary Daniels and
Chairman Swanson of the senate
naval committee, and at the close
announcement was made that the
president had again urged provision
for the new three-year program at
this session. The senate committee
increased the strength of the navy
from 225,000 to 100000, while that
of the marine corps was increased
from l7,400 to 10000. This increase
in the naval personnel was required
to permit the manning of the navy
and reserve ships sufficient in order
to expedite the return of American
troops from France.
Appropriations amounting to $2l,-
100000 were added to make perman-
ent during the fiscal year the present
war pay of enlisted men and men,
bers of the marine corps. The COM
mittee also fixed the pay of naval
cadets at $500 a year on condition
that the pay would subsequently be
the same as that received by mill
tary cadets. To develop the naval
air service the committee increased
the house appropriation from Sl5,-
100000 to $36,000000.
A provision appropriation $780,
600 for the completion of coast
guard vessels already under cons
struction was added. Items for adj
ditional navy yard construction ia
cilities were filed as follows: $1,000
900 for Boston; $250,000 for
New York; $2,300,O00 for Philadel-
phia; s., 100000 for Washington, and
$500 600 for Norfolk.

Report Favorably on
Measure to Reclaim
Lands for Soldiers

Washington, Feb. 26.-A favorable
report on the bill to appropriate
Sl00,000000 to make reclaimed pub
lie lands available for settlement
by discharged soldiers and sailors,
was ordered today by the senate
public lands committee after Secre-
tary Lane had appealed for action on
the ground that this was a great re-
construction measure. A similar bill
has been reported to the house.
By means of this measure, which
provides for loans to men who
served with the armed forces during
the war, Secretary Lane said jobs
could be assured 100000 persons
within 90 days.
With the proposed appropriation,
the committee was told, at least u.s.
600 farms in 40 states could be
made ready for permanent occu-
paucy by the men who helped clear
them.

ing the general principles contained
in the proposed draft, saying it was
not to be expected that the first
draft could be perfect. He urged that
the constitution be amended so as to
insure denial of power to the trib-
unal to interfere with or settle do
nestle affairs of any nation.
Regarding the general scope Of the
league, Senator Owen said it was

No More
Sour
Stomach!

If you want to avoid sour stom-
ach, follow this simple plan: Keep
your bowels active and free from
food-waste.
Your druggist has a product
called sALINoS, which will com
pletely empty the bowels and will
remove the cause of sour stomach.
Il viii do more-it will remove the
cause Of nearly all sickness. Food
waste, which lies in the bowels ere
ates dangerous poisons, which are
absorbed into the blood. Use
SALINoS and avoid this danger.
Pleasant in taste, pleasant,
prompt and sure in action. It does
not grippe. Get a bottle. It is fully
effective in cold water. Warm wa
ter is sickening, don't use it. Take
SALINOS first thing tomorrow
morning. Be safe.-Adv.

Arrested for Carrying
"Kamerad Gun" Which
Had Wounded Him

New York, Feb. ga weapon
which could easily be concealed in
the palm of a mans hand, and
which was described as a "Kam-
Grad gun" because it was used by
Germans after holding up their
hands, in token of surrender to
shoot their American captors, was
displayed in court today by Alex
ander p. Watson, a Y. M, G. A.
secretary cf Knoxville, Tenn, as
the reason for his arrest.
Watson, who arrived in the city
today, couldn't resist the tempta-
ton to show the weapon to po-
liceman who promptly arrested
him as a vioIator of New York's
Sullivan law against carrying con-
cealed weapons.
Watson testified he arrived at
Newport News, Va, from France
last Tuesday and brought back the
gun as souvenir. He was
wounded twice and gassed once
while serving as a Y. M. c. A.
representative with the Ninth reg
ular infantry, and received the
second wound from the "Kamerad
gun" he now carries, he said. He
planned that while working with
stretcher bearers he saw Ger
man officer who held his hands up
and shouted "Kanerad." He
started toward the German when
the latter lowered his hands and
fred the gun, the bullet striking
Watson in the wrist. American
soldiers shot and killed the Ger
man.
Watson's story and his exhibit
won his immediate discharge by
the court.

In the speeding Up today the SELL
ate naval committee reported out the
S721 100000 naval appropriation bill
with its authorization for a new

cause of opposition to some features

also doubt that the pending army

100000 and the $850000,000 sundry
civil appropriation measure can be
passed.

and probably reported to the senate.
The house took up the sundry
civil measure and worked on it I'M
