Last Years Total for His Males
tvs Sea Forces Is Reduced
to One Half Volume.
AMERICA TO BUILD
English Experts Believe Electric
Propulsion and Submarines
Will Gust Battleships.
BY MILTON BRoNNER,

London, April 11.-Great Britain has
heard Secretary of the Navy Daniels
plea for the largest navy in the world
and has replied-by cutting down its
navy estimates.
The estimated cost of the British
navy for the coming year is some 400
million dollars compared with 7S5 mil
lions last year.
The estimated number of active Of
ficers and men in 1885, 900, which COM
pares well with what it was in 1872
1864 This rose to 142, 800 in 1913,
I199,451 in 1914. 1s7,0os in 1915, 34s,-
SIS in 1916, and 406,9 ,977 in 1917.
The main fleet of the navy is to
be the Atlantic fleet, composed of 10
superdreadnoughts, A big battlecruisers,
10 light cruisers, "a destroyers, 81 sub
marines and one aircraft carrier.
In the Mediterranean Britain will
have 6 superdreadnoughts, light
cruisers, Is destroyers and 1 aircraft
carrier.
East Indies, North America and New
posed of light cruisers, sloops and
gunboats.
The number of ships not in COM
mission and whose crews have been
paid off is as follows:
II battleships. battle cruisers. 16
cruisers, 33 light cruisers, IL monitors,
76 sloops, 6S mine sweepers, $50 de-
stroyers, 4S torpedo boats, SO subma-
rines.
OF course. in case of war, these
would Immediately be called back into
service.
England built so many capital ships
during the war with Germany that
she has temporarily stopped this class
of construction.
Only one battle cruiser is on the
ways. but she is to be the most pow
erful in the world. The other con-
struction plans are as follows:
16 light cruisers, 81 submarines, II
flotilla leaders for torpedo craft, los
torpedo boat destroyers, aircraft
carriers, 10 sloops, 81 patrol gunboats,
"a mine sweepers. 400 tIawlers, $50
drifters, SO boom defense vessels.
The Admiralty Board has come to
the conclusion that the capital ships
-superdreadnoughts and battle cruis-
ers-remain the backbone of sea-
power.
But the admiralty makes the re-
markable prediction that advances in
electricity, internal combustion en-
gines and in science generally may
change the present battleship to one
of semi submersible type or even of
flying type. 1t is added these are
visions of the future.
AS the result of war experience sea
mining and anti submarine schools
and stations are being developed and
a large proportion of the navy will be
given special air training.

TALKS
OF BIG ISSUES
Treaty Problem, Prohibition,
Profiteering and Woman Suf-
frage to Be Settled.
BY w. j. BRYAN.

The situation is so chaotic a pres
ent that no one can speak definitely
as to the relative Importance of is
sues
Whether prohibition will be an i'm
portanJ issue, no one can at this writ
ing determine The action of the New
Jersey Legislature, in attempting to
nullify the enforcement act of Con-
gress. makes that for the time be-
ing a very important issue, but that
will probably be settled by the su-
preme court before the convention
meets And so, the action of the New
York convention, which openly de-
clares for notification of the consti-
tuition by state legislation. If New
York was Joined by enough states,
this matter would become the big
fight at the convention. But it is
likely that the New York position
will be so completely repudiated by
the time the convention meets that
the issue will pass out of sight. The
only way to eliminate the prohibition
question from the campaign is for
both parties to declare for prohibition
as the permanent policy of the coun-
try. and nominate dry candidates
pledged to strict enforcement of it.
Profiteering viii be a prominent
issue in the campaign, unless the mid
dIemau succeeds in controlling both
conventions and Sitting discussion on
the subject. which does not seem pos
sible. The question of private monop-
DIV VS.. government ownership is sure
to occupy an important place. and
the labor question also. Militarism has
probably been eliminated by the ac-
ton of the Democratic caucus and
later by the House, which left the
question out of the military bill.
I think that it is quite certain that
woman suffrage will be an accom-
plished fact before the convention and
thus ii will be no longer an issue.
A great deal will depend upon the
element in control of the convention.
While the progressives are quite sure
to control the Democratic convention,
it looks now as if the reactionaries
will control the Republican conven-
ton. If these two predictions are true
we can guess the tone of the two plat
forms if not the exact wording

POLITICS WILL
TICK TUESDAY
Rally Has Been Called at Olive

ing for All Seekers.
SPEAKING is PLANNED
Patriotic Candidates Will Eluci-

cOrdance With Hoyle.
(sy LUCKY BALDWIN,

After Tuesday night the political
situation In the county ought to be
considerably cleared. John r. NJ.
Gates, who is a candidate for county
commissioner from District 4. has
called a general rally of all county
candidates at the Ferry Pass Olive
road crossing. 1t is expected that most
of the candidates will be present and
that many of them will speak
The composite of ali speeches will
as per schedule at every rally, be
something like this:
My Friends and Fellow Citizens:
We are gathered here tonight as citi-
zens of the great state of Florida, and
as citizens of Escambia county. to
settle the POLITICAL future OF the
county. We are the government. I'm
der the constitution each one of us is
equal to every other one. Our wise
forefathers so wrote the laws of our
country that the poor and the weak
have equally as much TO say as the
rich and strong.
I'VE must elect men to office who
will accomplish the greatest good for
the most people. We must have good
tiles for enjoying the good things OF
life. Production must be increased
and we must take steps TO see that
men work fewer hours and receive
more pay.
"On the other hand we must not
forget the farmer, who is the back
bone of the country, must be provided
with labor which will enable him to
raise crops at profit. Labor must
work longer hours and receive less
money.
NOW. my friends, there are some
who do not believe in dipping their
cattle for ticks. believe they should
be permitted to dispense with dipping
and use sulphur and molasses, or just
plain sulphur. Salt licks have also
been suggested, and il viii be my
purpose, If I am elected to this great
and responsible office. to devise
system whereby ticks may be ban
ished in accordance with the will of
the people.
Therefore, inasmuch as ! see a
delegation of loyal and influential Cit
izens from Hellengone here, we must
build a good road through that sec
tion. Also the postoffice service should
be improved and each carrier required
to make change for two-cent stamps.
Now, my friends, / can think of
nothing more which it seems the peo-
pie of this great and glorious county
needs. I will conclude my remarks
with little story which was brought
to my mind when / first looked into
the faces of these intelligent voters.
The story goes like this: A speaker
at a Republican rally was interrupted
by a man in the audience who declared
himself to be a Democrat. Asked why
he was a Democrat. the interrupter
said he was a Democrat because his
father and his grandfather had been
Democrats.
Suppose your father and grand
father had, been horse thieves and
crooks, asked the speaker, what would
you have been then?
why, suppose I would have been
a Republican"
