Number and May Be
Reduced.

London, Wednesday. March 12:-In
introducing the naval estimates for
$500 officers. men and boys in the
house of commons today. Walter
Hume Long, first lord of the ad-
miralty, said that until the peace con-
ference decided what the worlds
armament for the future would be. 1t
was idle to ask any naval expert to
frame recommendations for the fl.
ture.
However, he added, the British
navy intended to apply the lessons it
had learned in the war in the develop
ment of the fleet The number Of
men for. which the vote was asked
was the maximum from which 1t was
hoped to work down.
Work had been stopped on asgreat
number aof ships vuf tllf classes winch
were under construction when the ar
nistice was signed.
Mr.. Long said that while avoiding
any expenditure that could be avoided
consistent with the safety Of the coun-
try, the government felt that it was
its duty to see that the navy was able
to perform its double task Of main
tanning the integrity of the empire
and playing a continuously leading
part in preserving the peace Of the
world.

Cooperate With War
Department.

Washington, March 13.-Letters
were addressed to the mayors of all
principal cities today by Arthur
Woods, special assistant to the secre-
tary of war, asking cooperation in
efforts to Safeguard the economic
welfare of soldiers who have been dis
charged from the service and are re-
turning to your state and city to re-
establish themselves in civil life.'
'"The opportunity that the war de-
partment has actively to serve the
enlisted man." Mr.. Woods wrote. "ex-
pires it might be thought, with their
separation from the service. fully
paid. and with, $50 bonus and trans
portation to their homes They go
from the service in good health, if
physically disabled. compensated by
the system of war risk insurance.
While the actual responsibility Of the
war department does end here, the
moral responsibility does not end un-
til the soldier has been absorbed by
normal civil life.
Feeling this moral obligation as
we do, the purpose Of the war depart
ment is to coordinate, through my
office. the various activities Of the
federal. state and city governments
as we'll as those Of private organiza-
tons, looking to a system which will
minimize the injustice and the peril
of unemployment of discharged SOL
diers. The war department wants to
do all it can to supplement and to
help local effort"
