 Reports

 Even this announcement by the committee of the whole did not pass unchallenged, republicans and demo- crats disagreeing as sharply as they had during debate on the investigat- ing committee reports. The dispo- sition made, however. was true to the program of republican leaders Their spokesmen during the debate declared the only purpose was to make known the facts of the war time aviation failure"
 Democratic speakers pictured American aviation efforts as a "suc- cess" that gave the allies predomin- ance of the air. Such "mistakes' as were admitted by these speakers were said to be only what were to be expected in so novel and gigantic an enterprise.
 Representative Frear, Wisconsin and Magee, New York, republicans of the Investigating committee, led the attack or war department and avia- tion officials, sharply arraiging them for acts and policies in regard avia. tion during the war. Representative Lea California. the democratic com. mitteemen, explained the democratic defense. supported by Representative Flood. democrat, Virginia.

DANIELS PROPOSES
 THREE PROGRAMS F0R UNITED STATES NAVY
Would Round Out Present Fleet if Treaty
 Passes
INCOMp pARABLE NAVY
 IF TT IS REJECTED
In Case No Final Action is Taken 69-Ship Program is to he
 Recommended by Secretary

Washington, March G.--Threc pro visional naval building programs. de- pendent on senate action on the peace treaty, were laid before the house naval committee today by See retary Daniels.
 If the United States ratified the treaty and became q member of the league of nations, Mir. Daniels said he would recommend new construc- ton only to round out" the fleet now built or building. f the sen ate rejected the treaty and the Uni ted States definitely decided not to join the league, he said he would urge duplication of the three-year program of 1916, with some modifi- cations with view of making the fleet "incomparably" the greatest in no final action on the treaty at this session of congress. the secretary said he would present a G9-ship pro- gram for construction as rapidly as possible in order that the United States might not lose ground in competitive naval building.
 secretary DdIielS Iolu tuc CoHiiIIi V tee it must choose between the three proposals. The 69-ship program, he said would cost about $l95,000. .0OO. He gave no estimate of the cost of a new three-year program
 Declaring the aircraft would nev- CT make battleships obsolete, the sec retary added, that aviation was "es- scntially an integral part of the 1 fleet" Expressing opposition to cf- forts to institute an independent aiI service he said he believed such a program would end in failure.
 Civil aviation should be entirely | divorced from the military and naval branches, he said. and advocated ear. | ly passage of legislation regulating by federal agencies private aeria navigation. Civil aviation should bs encouraged, he declared, but should not be developed by great expendi' ture of the public funds.
 Included in the tentative three. year program, MT. D0niels outlined were 10 dreadnoughts and six bat tie cruisers. but he added that he would ask appropriations the frs, year for only two battleships and one battle cruiser. In addition the pro. gram would include for the three years 20 light cruisers and large number of smaller craft.
 The 69-ship program included two l dreadnaughts and one battle cruiser for prompt construction with 2 large program of cruisers and aux i ilaries, while the secretary recon mended the United States ratify tho treaty and become member woult include no capital craft.

Ottoman Chamber of Deputies Ask IT. s. to Send Commission to Pass Judgment on Marash
 Affair

London, March 6.--Therc is likeli- hood that the Cilician massacre will cost Turkey much of what the treaty of peace would otherwise have left her, according to expressions heard in inner circles at White Hall, where allied foreign ministers are still framing the Turkish settlement. The proposed western boundary from Enos. on the Aogan Sea, to Viba or the Black Sea may be abandoned and the line may be drawn much further east. This would limit Tur- keys possessions in Europe to that narrow peninsula north of the Sea of Marmora. France and Great Britain are credited with being in favor of this, but Italy's attitude is not known yet to be settled definitely. Another fact of the Cicilian outrage is said to be assent among members of the foreign ministers circle toward totally deprivin Turkey of an army and permitting her to maintain only a force of gendarmes. This, which has been discussed from time to time, seems to be the most probable solution of the question.
