New York. March 16.-Three ad-
ditional wills made by the late Theo-
dore p. Shonts were filed in the
Surrogate's Court today. making
four testaments in all which must
be considered by. the Surrogate in the
action brought by Mrs. Milla D.

was made chief beneficiary of the
$500. 900 estate.
OF the documents filed today, one
offered by Mrs. Shonts and dated
July 81, 1905, leaves her 100000
outright, the residue of the estate
to be divided between, her and her
two daughters.
OF the other two. one makes the
testator's grandson, Emanuel De
Chaulnes. chief beneficiary. Mrs.
Thomas gets a life interest in $780,
600. but the wife gets only $4,000.
The other. dated January 16, 1917,
makes Mrs. Thomas the chief bene-
ficiary and leaves the wife out en-
tirely.

mcnt is the real uninfiuenced will
of her husband. The "deathbed'
will she alleges, was made under i'm

NAVY ]! TO EQUAL
BEST IN WORLD
Smaller in Size. but Best in
Efficiency, Says Repre-
sentative Butler.
PLAN AZ LINE SHIPS
Six Giant Battle Cruisers
and $40 Destroyers by
1925 on Program.

The American navy. by the end of
1874. will be the equal of that OF any
other nation, Representative Thomas
3. Butler, Republican, of Pennsyl-
vania, chairman of the House Naval
Affairs Committed, declared yester-
day.
Taking t ALI around" he add
ed, "our sea force by that time Will
be the heaviest and best improved
in the world"
Chairman. Butler explained he did
not mean the United States would
have as many naval vessels as Great
Britain, but by rounding out the
fleet with such light craft as recon-
mer ded by Secretary Daniels, bc
said. "our navy will equal that OF
Englsnd in value and strength"
What the American feet will lack
In numbers. according to Mr.. Butler,
VIII be more than made up in big
guns and heavy armor.
These comparisons. IL was ex-
planned. are formulated on the
policy of the British government not
to undertake any further enlarge
ment of hsr naval establishment.
To Have ~ Line ships.
With the completion of the pres
ent construction program, Butler de-
clared, the United States will have
forty-seven ships of the first and
second line. Twenty-eight of this
number will be firstline vessels and
none of them more than 6. years
old. England, he said, will have
sixty first and second-line ships,
many of them nearly obsolete, and
others having seen hard service in
the world war. japan Will have
twelve first and second-line vessels.
Included in the American feet will
be six giant battle cruisers, the most
powerful warships in the world
They will be $50 feet long, weigh
10000 tons, have 10000 horsepower,
a speed of 331a knots and carry 16-
inch guns.
The bill completed yesterday and
which will be reported out today
carries appropriations aggregating
$425,29O,574. The amount for avia-
tion was increased at the last mo-
ment from S15.000,000 to $15.S76,000.
No provision was made for the big
seaplanes requested by the Navy
Department for trans-Pacific
flight.
Fifty million dollars is provided
for repair and preservation of ships.
The United States will have $40
destroyers, which humber will be
about 80 less than Great Britain will
have, but, the Naval Committee
chairman explained, most of the
American destroyers will be prac-
tically new and the most modern in
the world, while those of England
will be much older and many Of
them in relatively bad condition as
the result of their strenuous service
during the war.
There will be in the world at the
end Of 1924" continued Mr.. Butler.

BILL TO LOWER
PRICE OF COAL
Frelinghuysen Proposes q
Measure to Encourage
Summer Fuel Purchase.
t. 1920. Thompson Feature Service. }

Legislation designed to give the
summer purchaser of coal a reduc-
tion of 80 per cent below winter
prices and to keep mines and coal
cars busy throughout the summer
will be proposed in the Senate today
by Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen
of New Jersey, chairman of the spe-
cial coal subcommittee of the Com
m:ttee on Interstate Commerce.
Mr.. Frelinghuysen proposes to
provide by statute for an advance
by the railroads of Is per cent in
the coal rates during the winter
months and a decrease of Is per
cent during the summer below rub
lished tariffs. This, the Senator be-
lieves, would mean the consumer
coal in summer would
get it for 80 per cent less than by
r-aiting until winter. lie is of the
opinion that il would result in keep
ing the mines in operation during
what now is period of idleness.
The Frelinghuysen bill also pro-
poses to prohibit the practice of
railroads Communicating coal in
transit over :heir own lines except
by permission OF the Interstate
Commerce Commission.

AFTER EFFECTS OF
INFLUENZA TO Be

Iowa Man Tells How He Won
Back His Health and.
Strength.

The toll of human life taken by
Spanish Influenza is enormous but
not near as appalling as the trail
OF suffering it leaves. In the wake
of the disease are strewn a mass
of human wreckage numbering
thousands, men, women and chill
dren, who will never know a we'll
day after.
Influenza is a catarrhal disease.
Due to the putrid poisons and the
foetid, Shiny waste matter with
which it leaves the system clog
ged, Influenza is responsible for
broken constitutions and bodies
racked and ravished by almost
every chronic and fatal disease
known to doctors.
Influenza is bad, but the results
may be infinitely worse and it be-
hooves everyone during the period
of convalescence to select with
care the medicine upon which the
future health and life depends.
Mr.. {. A. Allen, r. r. No. 2,
Bondurant, Iowa, did like thou
sands of others and placed his
dependence on a remedy fifty
years old, which he knew was the
most successful treatment for ca
tarrhal diseases in the world

MADE WILD PLANS
Mapped Ways Of Combat
ting Menace which Were
Impracticable, He Says.

How the Navy Departments lack
of knowledge of submarine warfare
contributed to prolongation of the
German menace was outlined by
Rear Admiral w. 8. Sims yesterday
Ia his testimony before the Senate
Naval Subcommittee.
Admiral Sims said Secretary Dan
iels and his bureau chiefs exhibited
a hardly understandable ignorance
of anti-submarine warfare" in their
failure to cooperate with the Brit
ish fleet Instead of bending their
energies to meet the submarine with
the only thoroughly tried weapon
more ships-Navy Department on
cials, Admiral Sims said, seemed to
have no idea, except to evolve some
new and radical plan Of offensive
operations"
Even as late as the early part
of 1918, Admiral Sims told the COM
mittee. a little German bluff" would
have parslyzed shipping and stopped
the transportation of American SOL
diers to France. About this time
Admiral Sims said. there were re-
ports of a raid of German battle
cruisers as a desperate resort to stop
the transporting of American troops
The Navy Department was in a
panic and he was besieged with
cablegrams from Washington outlin-
ing various plans of action. which
were impractical, despite the fact
that the contingency had been un-
der consideration for a year.
