Japan Planning to
Build Swift Ships
as Naval AuxiliarieS

Especial Correspondence Of the Hordld.)
TOKYO, January LIN addition TO a
naval programme that is more than ex-
tensive. I'm view of Japan's other require
ments, the Japanese General Naval Staff
is devoting some considerable attention
to the auxiliary side of the navy and it
is probable that whatever subsidies be
voted for steamship lines at this season
OF the Diet will have n string attached
dealing with all future steamship con-
struction The naval chiefs will insist
that whatever favors are going from the
will go TO those companies
which will make speed one of the essen
tials in their future building plans.
The Japanese shipbuilding industry
made great strides during the war. jump
ing from an annual output OF below 50,OO0
tons for the years preceding the great
conflict 10 about 700 600 tons for 1919 and
an estimated 10000 tons for this year
By far the greater number of ships
launched from Japanese yards are freight
ers, due to the fact that these are
to build in the first place and
more profitable once they are in the
water But the lack of passenger liners
among the .launchings has not pleased

the war in mind and the necessity for

all their war plans.
s,lerchantmen so far turned out in this
country have little speed, averaging only
about ten knots, which puts them out
Of consideration as auxiliarics I'm those
days when drcadnoughts can force speed
of thirty-fiVc knots and dcstroyers run
up To forty knots and over. unless too
great a proportion Of the fighting ships
are detailed to convoy duty. The mini
mum speed OF transports. in the opinion
of the General staff. should be twelve
knots. and Of such ships the naval plans
call FOR at least 100000 tons I'm case of
an emergency. and for this reason pres
sure IL being brought to bear upon the
shipping companies 10 plan faster ships

The General staff points out that the
navy is not even able TO build all the war
ships 1t requires, To say nothing OF hos

and transports and that IL must be re-
gardcd as measure of patriotism for the
CONNER cial ship builders to fill this lack.
If the naval staff has its way, subsidies
will be granted on this understanding.

rlication in the usual way-it viii be duly
considered"
Mr.. Hogge said no more and the House
enjoyed a laugh Of several minutes.
The House Is wondering and gossiping
about another phase of Lady Astors pres
ence in that august assembly. The ques-
ton Of the hat passed off so smoothly and
quietly that there Il room for doubt as
to whether it ever really was a question
it seems to have been a conspiracy among
space writer's on London newspapers
''Lndy and GentIcmen."
However, there are many real questions
raised by the uprooting of centuries old
Parliamentary custom and one of them has
been brought to mind by the approaching
date of the next session, probably the sec
ond week of February The King, in his
speech at the convocation of Parliament,
always begins, "Gentlemen of the House
of Commons. Obviously that phrase will
have to be altered and alterations of Eng
lish custom. as you probably know are not
the easiest things to make. But the diff
ficuties do not end with the necessary
alteration. VIII the King say, tGentlemen
and Ladies of the House of Commons?'
Obviously that would not be correct, as
there is only one woman member. Yet
the King cannot well say. Gentlemen
and My Lady of the House of Commons. 3"
IL for no other reason than the awkward
ness of it. Nor Is either of those forms
Of address in quite proper taste. for the
gentlemen should not be given precedence
over the ladies in the sequence of the
addresses.
His Majesty might find it best to say.
MY Lady and Gentlemen of the House
of Commons" but there are those in that
staid gathering who would consider such
undue prominence to a lone woman as an
infringement upon if not menace to the
prestige and dignity of the oldest Parlia-
ment of Man. 1t is considered not unlikely
that from this clash of court, and Parlia-
mentary usage the King will emerge with
"A compromise phrase. such as Honorable
Members of the House OF Commons, and
thus dispose OF an issue which. though it
may take second or even third place In the

Coal Shortage of
 50 to 30 Per Cent
Report Made by Thirty Cities and Towns of State-New London's Shortage 30 Per Cent.

Hartford, Conn, Sept 16-Thirty of the forty cities and towns to whom Sec retary George B. Chandler of the Con necticut chamber of commerce sent in- quiries about the hard coal situation have replied and the shortages continue to av- craze from 50 to so per cent. Secretary Chandler will lay before the directors of the state chamber when they meet here Friday afternoon the information received from the United States geological survey, which shows that leo, ,001 tons more hard coal was mined in the Pennsylvania an- thracite region from April l to Sept. |, 1920 than in the corresponding period last year. Secretery Chandler said he would not commit himself to an interpre- tation- of these figures in their bearing on the shortage in Connecticut, which on the face of it seems entirely unwarranted. Of the larger cities Bridgeport is best situated as far as ard coal IS concerned. having received about go per cent. of it's normal supply. New London reports q shortage of 80 per cent, with two coal companies forced out of business because
