TOPARE
HER NAVY BUDGET

LONDON. April 2.-The United
States need have no apprehension that
Great Britain will authorize the pro,
Dossd 1Sls-Is20 naval budget Of
s74s, ooo, 900, which is just S4,Ooo,06O
more than that proposed by the
United States for similar purposes.
Walter Long. NJ. p, first lord of INC
admiralty, told parliament that Brit
aims naval budget will be pared down
considerably in the new estimates to
be presented in June or July, after
peace is signed.
Were 1t not for the fact that GER
tain expenses incurred during the
war must be paid during the neat
fiscal year, II is very doubtful whether
the I9l7-1s20 budget for naval puI'
poses would equal the 19l3-1914 ap
preparation Of 1921, 100000.
Peace terms are expected to be
drastic enough to preclude the neces-
sity for Great Britain pouring big
sums into naval expansion.

ALLIED PURSUIT PLANES
FAR SUPERIOR TO ENEMY'S

The work OF allied pursuit planes
in the closing months OF the war was
greatly superior to that OF enemy
machines, according to figures made
public by the War Department yes
terday.
These figures, based on the FIVE
leading types in use by the allies and
the central powers. show that the aV-
erage horsepower of the former was
1S6, compared with $50 for the en-
emy.
The allied machines were able to
climb LAO feet per minute to an al
titude OF $500 feet. as against 7O5
feet per minute for the Germans,
while the average speed at this alti-
tudC was 126 miles an hour for the
allies and 100 for the boChe.
