Navy Club to Entertain
Atlantic Fleet Sailors

Extraordinary preparations are being
made at the Manhattan Navy Club. at
1915 East Forty-frst Street, for the
entertainment and care of the "gobs"
of the Atlantic feet. expected to ar
rive here from training in southern
waters on May /. .
1t was announced yesterday by the
officers of the club that the full capac-
ity of the new Quarters in the theat-
rlcal and hotel district will be taxed
by the inf1ur of sailors on shore leave.
Five thousand sailors day will re-
ceive permission to come ashore from
the fotilla anchored up and down the
Hudson. The facilities of the dormi-
tories, recreation rooms, billiard rooms,
reading rooms and restaurant will be
increased for the occasion, as every
one of the five floors will be utilized
to the utmost capacity during the
fleets stay
Numerous dances are scheduled, and
many of the seasons debutantes. will
take part in the festivities.
Special transportation is being ar
ranged to take the "gobs" ashore di-
rect from their ships to the club.

Instead Of constituting only one-twen-
tieth of the worlds total it was more
than one-tifth, the worlds total having
increased but slightly on account Of
war losses.
Instead of standing a poor third
among the leading merchant marines
the American feet now stood a strong
second. Germany, second in Importance
IN 1914, has been practically swept from
She seas by the war. Great Britain's
Meet, instead Of being ten times as
large as the American fleet. as in 1914.
was now only twice as large. In 1919
american goods once more moved in
american vessels. nearly 80 per cent of
the imports and exports of the country
being shipped under the American flag.
AFTER halt century of decline and de-
cay the United States merchant marine
was back in great strength upon the
high seas.
Nor was this the full story. In the
summer of 1919 the war shipbuilding
program OF the Federal government
was wa stlll proceeding apace. Despite
the cancellations and suspensions of
the months following the signing of
the armistice. the program on July l
was vas expected to add approximately
5,'oo,Oo0 gross tons more to the Ameri-
can heet. 1t was calculated that bv
the fall of 1920 the fleet would amount
to not less than 100000 gross tons.
Great Britain's feet at the same date
could not much exceed 21 .0OO,O 900 gross
tons. The American merchant marine
was certain to offer formidable chaI-
lenge to England's mastery of the sea.
Operated by Private Firms
"The' ownership and operation Of the
new American fleet are matters of
vital Importance. At present the ves-
sells are owned predominantly by the
United States government. The sales
policy of the United States Shipping
Board has not been devised to transfer
large amount OF tonnage to private
hands. Not less than half the total
fleet and substantially. more than that
proportion of the larger vessels will
remain under government ownership
at the middle of this year"
"This fleet is ing managed and
operated by private companies, on gov
ernment account. Government and
privately-owned vessels ply the same
trades and compete for the same busi-
ness. The size of the new feet, owner
ship of so large a part of it by the
Federal government and the condi-
tons under which the government YES
sells are being operated present issues
of the first magnitude"
Among the questions propounded are
the following:
Should the Federal government re-
tain the vessels it now owns?
If not, should the transfer of YES
sells to foreign registry be permitted? :?
Upon what terms as to price, per-
iods of payments and subsequent en-
ployment should the vessels be Of
fered for sale?
Should the United States maintain
a seagoing merchant fleet even if the
fleet cannot, under the competitive
conditions of the present or near
future, be self-supporting?
What should Ie the permanent policy
of the Federal government toward the
shipbuilding industry in the United
States?

10 Amount to Not Less
Than 100000 Tons

The Advisory Committee of the Re-
publicsn National Committee will have
full data concerning the american mer-
chant marine as result of the ques-
tionnsire it has prepared and dis
.ribueed A preliminary statement pre-
sents in an unbiased way the facts
regarding the development of the mer-
chant marine, as follows:
"The period OF the World War wit
messed an extraordinary change in
American sea power. On July l, 1914,
there were 100000 gross tons Of
ocean going steam tonnage under
United States registry. The worlds
feet OF steam vessels on the same
date totaled 43.140,O0o tons; Great
Britain's fleet, 20.52o,ooo tons; Ger
manys, 5,14o,0 tons. Thus the Amer
lean ocean-going steam merchant
marine comprised less than 1-20 Of the
worlds total: and was only LILO as
large as Great Britains, and % the
size of Germany's.
''In the years before the war the
United States relied upon other ma
tions for overseas transportation. Less
than 10 of our imports and exports
during the first half of 1914 moved in
American bottoms. American goods and
American citizens ordinarily travelled
the high seas under foreign flag.
Fleet Increases Rapidly
'Five years later, on July /, 1919,
the situation yeas fundamentally differ
ent The merchant steam feet under
United States registry had increased
nearly tivefold. to 9.s2O,OOO gross tons.

WOULD SEPARATE 1
BALLOTS OF Sexes
Anti-Suffragists Still Hopeful
Amendment Will Be De-
cIared Invalid
URGE ATTORNEYS GENERAL

Washington, Oct. 28.--The attor-
neys general Of thirty two states were
requested yesterday by the National
Association Opposed to Woman Suf-
frage to separate the ballots OF women
from those Of men on election day to
mitigate the approaching chaos
the questioned validity OF the ratifica-
tion of the suffrage amendment.
1.-THE impending disaster Of con-
tested election, possibly similar to the
Hayes Tilden contest. due to the proc
lamation of an alleged federal suffrage
amendment, the ratifications and valid
ity Of which are being questioned in
the United States Supreme Court. has
urgently moved the National Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage to suggest
to the attorney generals OF the thirty
two states whose constitutions deny the
suffrage to women that the only prac-
ticable preventive of political chaos in
many states is to provide means Of
separating the ballots cast by men and
women" says Miss Kilbreth's letter.
For six years, the state Of Illinois,
under Its presidential suffrage act, has
separated the votes of men and women
and followed the practice at the recent
Wo' uooP.c 'iS p'o', a.'oh ".
the federal suffrage amendment. In
Missouri the Legislature provided DIFF
ferent colored ballots for women. In
other states, It has been found prac-
ticable to divide registrants by sex, so
that separation on the ballots, either
through n distinctive ballot. or by tho
use Of separate boxes, is quite feasible,
and should arouse the opposition OF
nobody except those who may be politi-
cally interested In promoting confusion
of the elections"
