by 1924 to Equal
Britain's, Says Butler

WASHINGTON, March 22.-America's
navy will about equal that of Great
Britain in fighting power by 1924
Chairman Butler Of the Naval Com
mittee told the House to-day in de-
Tending the provision in the naval ap-
preparation bill for continuing the
eighteen capital ships now under con-
struction.
an the next four years. said Mr.
Butler, "the United States will put
out the most formidable armada the
world ever has seen produced in a
similar period"
In 1924, he continued, Great Britain
will have 60 battleships; the United
States, AZ; France, 26; Japan, 49, Italy,
IS. While England will have more
ships, he added, those of the United
States will be about equal in power.
Representative Kitchin, of North
Carolina, former Democratic leader
opposed big ship construction, saying
that England. Russia and France were
not building "sea monsters"
"Shouldn't we get back to normal
conditions and wait to see what the
other powers will do ?" he asked. "The
league of nations may stop further big
armament"

Army Of Veterans
Fights for 'sReds -

PARIS, March 22.--Spartacan forces
tn the Ruhr Valley Of Germany mum.
Der at least 10000, and some estimate
them at 10000, according to latest ad-
vices received at the Foreign Office
here. They are we'll organized, being
composed of old shock troops and vet
Grams, supplied with artillery, machine
guns and mine throwers and having
batteries of 77-centimetrc field guns
with plenty of ammunition.
Major Beerfeld, relative Of Maxi
milan Harden, is commander of these
troops. He is also known as the man
who published Prince Lichnowsky s
report blaming the German government
for starting the World War, and also
was prominent in the Spartacist trou-
bles at tao time of the admistice and
also January. 1918.
Lbert government authorities are
concentrating troops and planning tc
surround the Ruhr Valley and force
the spartacists to capitulate. These
men, however, are younger and less
trained than the "Reds"
The occupation of the Ruhr district
by German troops is in direct violation
of Articles AZ and 43 of the Treaty of
Versailles, it was stated at the Foreign
Office, which added the comment that
this was the first act committed bv
Germany in violation of the treaty, the
other violations being those of omis-
sion. 1t was indicated that the French
government would take no separate ac-
ton in the circumstances. acting only
after consultation with the Allies as to
what measures were necessary.
Two German officers have been sent
by the Ebert government to acquaint
the French authorities with the situa-
ton in the Ruhr district. These officers
are expected to reach Paris this eve
ming.

would place in the hands Of city magis..
trates or others the right to fix rental
values.
"1f the Legislature would pass the
corrective measure, such as the Black
bill referred to, and pass the bill re-
moving the tax from interest on mort
cages, and stop at that, instead Of be.
ing stampeded into this proposed
uation will gradually be cleared up"
A similar position is taken by the
Advisory Council Of Real Estate Inter-
ests, in a report by it's law and legis-
lation committee, through John Guy
ton Boston, it's chairman. In it he
says:
"The hard fact which underlies the
present rental situation is that for
every available apartment of certain
types there is more than one appli-
cant.
1.-THE Legislature cannot cure the ex-
listing situation, because the only cure
is an adequate supply of housing ac-
commodation, and it cannot legislate
that into existence. 1t may attempt by
one expedient or another to prevent
the indulgence of human greed in the
feast which this opportunity offers.
No legislative attempt in that direc-
ton has ever succeeded.
Patience Called Real Cure
1T may seem a hard thing to say,
but it is the bald truth, that there is
no cure for the present situation ex-
cept patience and the careful avoid
ance by legislatures of any measures
which might tend to render building
operations less attractive. The Legis-
lature may by favorable tax legisla-
ton attract capital to building enter
prIses, but action along any other lines
will only be harmful
Edward P. Doyle, of the Real Estate
Board, suggested to the Mayor yester-
day that the joint Legislative com
mittee of which Senator Lockwood
is the chairman receive power to
nix reasonable rate of increase
in the income of property own
ers between 1915 and to-day The
Mayor made no comment on the
idea. After the conference Mr.. Doyle
declared that tenants complaining of
rent increases should be compelled to
show that they had not been guilty of
protiteering themselves.
"Bricklayers getting $40 a day now
lay only 48O bricks" he said. "In
former years they laid 1900, though
they were paid less. Garment workers
do less work now for $55 a week than
they used to for $14. can't see
where such men have a very good case
when they object to the landlords do
ing the same thing"

Mr.. Gompers reviewed the record of

Two Shot Dead, Four
Wounded, i'm Dublin Riot

DUBLIN, March % (By The Associ-
ated Press There was riot here
tonight, in which two men were shot
dead and four were seriously wounded.
The riot was precipitated by the dis
orderly conduct of soldiers. about three
hundred of whom paraded the streets
about 8 o'clock, singing, jostling passers-
by, hammering doors and smashing
windows.
After parading through Harcourt
Street the soldiers returned toward
their barracks, followed by large
crowd of civilians. At the Portobello
bridge near the barracks q clash
seemed inevitable, and a volley was
fired over the heads of the crowd, but
by whose orders is unknown.
The shooting, which resulted in the
killing of the two men and the wound
ing of other persons, took place in
Richmond Street. The circumstances
surrounding it are not yet known.
The soldiers, who started the dis
order, eventually returned to their
barracks. Other soldiers not con
cerned in the rioting were roughly
handled by the populace while return
ing alone to the barracks.
