The Mayfower strain is dying out in
America, according to an article by S.
j. Holmes and c. NJ. Doud in the Janu-
ary number of "The Journal of Hered-
ity." The article is entitled "The APP
preaching Extinction o. the MayAower
Descendants" 1t is high time, the
authors suggest, that the descendants
of the New England pioneers turned
their attention from the compilation of
genealogics to the rearing of children
unless the stock which has played so
.xaiiant-a part in American history is
to dwindle to a mere remnant.
"We shall soon celebrate the Booth
anniversary of the landing of the Pill
grims," they write, "but if their present
birth rate continues for another 300
years it would probably be possible to
put all the surviving descendants back
again into the Mayflower without over
crowding the limited capacity of that
celebrated vessel.

Field Marshal Won Hindenburg is

The Allied military men are inter

the three-year programme of naval con-
struction which was authorized three
years ago.
Expects Appropriation
Secretary Daniels said he had no
doubt that Congress would authorize
the recommendation Of President WI
son for another three-year programme
Of construction In building ships un-
der that programme, ne said, the 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
ton" the Secretary continued because
we have faith that the league of peace
will bring about such friendship and
understanding among ali nations as Will
ultimately cause a reduction IN arma-
ment and consequent decrease OF cx-
pcnditures for naval strength.
1--WE shall not build against any ma
ton, but so long as This republic needs
"a navy we mast have one, for our own
protection and to preserve the peace Of
the world, that will be powerful, strong
and modern.
Must DO Our Share
at would be sin for America, rich
and powerful, to be beholden to any
other country for naval protection. We
must, in whatever sort OF world police
that shall be needed in the new order.
contribute as many units and rs mucr

1--WE must remember always that the
maintenance of the Monroe Doctrine
is our peculiar responsibility and duty
and for its proper maintenance
md to secure to all the smaller
nations ef the world the rights to which
they are entitled we must maintain a
navy strong enough and powerful

total of forty-nine capital ships.
Some of the dreadnaughts. it is de-
clared by members of the committee,
are not as powerful as those included
in the list Of American d,eadnaughts
cited in the prece ding. paragraph.
In addition to these lists, committee
members explain, both navies have a
large number of more or less obsolete
battleships that will soan be ready
for the scrap heap. :,
Disarmament Plan Suggested
While no effort will be maJ,' in the
committees report to suggest the kind
OF disarmament agreement that would
be acceptable to Congress, members in
dividually expressed the opinion to- day
that the most feasible arrangement
would be one under which reductions
would be made from the bottom y
be possible for the powers to garee
to cease building beyond their pres
ent programme and egree to scrap all
older ships.
This" said Representative Kelley,
Of Michigan, Republican, "would leave
the United States and Great Britain on
parity, with, say, twenty powerful
modern dreadnoughts each, provided
Great Britain would agree to let US
complete this programme without her
self proceeding with any further con-
struction. With it etremely unlikely
that Great Britain and the United
these two navies could we'll undertake
the job of keeping the peace of the
world"
The committee is united on the
proposition that, if possible, there
should be an agreement for reduction
of naval armaments." Representative
Kelley added, "and in that we believe
We represent the view of the country
as a whole But if there is to be nc
such agreement the committee feels
that the United States should not be in
the position of having to depend or
any other power to protect her shores
There can be no doubt that the British
navy saved America in this recent war
Had there been no friendly British
navy to help US, the German fleet woulc
have pounded into dust the important
Atlantic seaDoard cities of New York
and Boston"
No Money for Start Provided
Not only does the bill to be reported
out by the committee provide that none
of the new ships may be started be
fore February, 1920, but the appropria
tion carried makes, in effect, no pro
vision for. starting amy part of the
new programme.
Although the authorizations in the
new programme called for an ultimate
expenditure of $4o5, 100000 the actual
appropriation is for S105O00000 to be
used in the construction "of ships
heretofore and herein provided for.
Practically all OF this sum members

obligations under the .1916 programme,

tai ships is concerned, was largely
