other deadly plaques now raging
in nations torn by revolution will
be formulated by this eminent
group. DR.. Blue but recently was
confirmed in his present rank after
resigning as full surgeon general.
He Is an authority on the theory
and practice of sanitation and hy-

achievements was the elimination
of plague conditions in San Fran

in the established theory of the
spread of this plague by parasites
on rodents such as the rat and
squirrel.
The London conference probably

BY JUDGE STAFFORD

Justice Wendell Phillips Stafford
of District Supreme Court, speak,
ing last night on Lincoln and His
Time" at the Miles Memorial Col
cred Methodist Episcopal Church,
paused in his eulogy of the Great
Emancipator, to pay a tribute to
the colored race.
The justice said: Lincoln cannot
be considered without considering
his epoch. The civil war could not
have been won on the issue of the
Union. The issue was freedom
against slavery. The Republican
party will not deserve success until
1t does Justice by the negroes Of the
South. The Republican party used
the colored man to establish the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth. amend
ments and then deserted him."
The speaker dwelt upon, the
achievements and character OF Lin
coin, and painted q vivid word picI'

career. He closed with the words |:

gram an appropriation OF s150,O00,-
600 would have to be made in 1922,
a like sum In 1928 and 10000. 900
in 1924.
Opposition Expected.
In the light OF the debate yester-
day, 1t appears possible that at
tempts will be made to reduce the
appropriation Of s1o4,ooo, 900 for the
1916 program when II comes up for
consideration. 1t is not unlikely
that there will be strong opposition
to the continuation of this program.
Mr.. Mondell pointed out that the
program of naval expenditure pro-
posed by Great Britain, based on
the current rate of exchange
amounts to about s32l. 100000 and
this. reduced by the sum proposed
for liquidation of terminal war ex-
penses, leaves the equivalent OF ap-
proximately s241, 900. 900 as the to-
tai OF Great Britain's expenditure.
At this rate of expenditure. he said.
our naval budget will exceed Eng
lands by s1S4.00o, 900. Other mem
bers of the House objected that this
appropriation did not include the
money for aviation for which the
bill under consideration in the
House designates $15,S7s,o00. or for
the British marine corps.
Personnel of 10000.
Mr.. Mondell pointed out that the
enlisted strength OF our navy is
fixed. by law at 131,4S5. and the
bill under consideration is based on
an assumed average personnel OF
120,000 Great Britain, he said. pro-
poses as naval personnel $4,000.
I'm the matter of the strength
of the feet in full commission the
number of our contemplated line
would seem to be seventeen dread
naughts, thirteen predreadnaughts.
eight armored cruisers, eighteen
cruisers and destroyers, submarines
and auxiliary vessels in proportion
as against sixteen battleships, four
battle cruisers. thirty-eight light
cruisers with auxiliary ships in
proportion on the part of Great
Britain" he said.
This comparison, he pointed out,
is based on the number of major
ships planned by Great Britain and
the estimated number of ships this
country would keep In commission.
Admiral Robert r. Coontz, chief of
naval operations, he said, placed
this number at $50 when appearing
before the House Naval Affairs
Committee in January.
