FIRM
FOR BIG NAVY
Opposes Five-year Suspension
Of Warship Building by U. S,
Britain, and Japan.

Secretary of the Navy Daniels to-
day announced his strenuous op-
position to proposals that the United
States, Great Britain, and Japan
enter into an agreement to suspend
naval construction for a period Of
five years.
"Thc United States must have
the strongest navy in the world, or
go into the League Of Nations or
something similar" the Secretary
said.
FEARS RETURN OF ALLIANCES.
| Secretary Daniels declared the pro-
posal for an agreement for suspen-
sion OF naval construction would be
simply getting back to the old era
of alliances. which brought on the
| world war"
The proposal is understood TO have
| originated with Great Britain, and It
IL reported here suggestions VIII be
made to President-elect Harding that
| he take the initiative in such an
| agreement
! Secretary Daniels will appear be-
fore the House naval affairs COM
mittce tomorrow and urge that the
naval construction program of the
United States be pushed forward un-
til this nation enters. the League Of
Nations or some similar combination
| OF tho nations of the world.
WOULD CAUSE SUSPICIOUS.
This new proposal is simply a
new entente and new alliance
that would lead TO suspicious on the
part of the other nations" the Sec
rotary said. "All the nations of the
world must be included in any dis
armament program, or there can be
no program"
The Secretary stated the President
had authority under the naval ap-
preparation bill of 1916 to call a
conference of the world powers on
disarmament but he declared the
League of Nations Is a going con-
cern and the most feasible organi-
zation to undertake any disarma-
ment program.

The best example OF these efforts
was the action of the Cunard line to
secure 1,025,Oo0 tons OF ships in Amer
ican yards" Denman declared.
This firm was on the face of IL a
private organization. but it was
learned later that II was being
financed by the government of Great
Britain.
SENTIMENT FAVORED BRITISH.
There was n sentiment in favor of
permitting the British domination to
continue because Of British famili-
arity with shipping.
IL was opposed to British domina-
tion because OF the fact that We could
not build a ship until the Cunard
Line contracts were completed. They
were not "hurryup' contracts.
THE United states would have
been rolcgated to building wooden
tubs during "A great war had | not

CALLED TRAGIC BLUNDER.
Denman submitted statement to
Chairman Walsh concerning Great
Britian's activities with regard to
American shipping and concerning
the "traEical blunder" Of those who
succeeded him in failing to equip
ships with tho motor-driven Diesels.
Walsh said he would look over" the

LONDON, Dee. I3.-It In estfmated
that 800 houses were burned In tho
Cork conaRgrntion, said q Dublin
dispatch to tho Evening Standard
this afternoon.
From sporadic attacks and out
breaks, Ireland, within the past
forty-eight hours, has been plunged
into a condition more closely ap-
proximating actual warfare than at
any other time in the history Of
that unhappy country. =
Irish Republicans carried their
war into the enemy's country" by
attacking the British troops occupy
ing Cambough Barracks in north
Ireland. According to unconfirmed
reports many persons were killed in
a violent battle at that place.
RESERVE TROOPS AMBUsHED.
Troops that were being rushed t.
re-entorce the defenders of Camioucn
Barracks were ambushed and another
pattic took place at railway viaduct
between Newry and Camlough.
The pitched battle at Camlousa
since martial laws was proclaimed
throughout southwestern ireland.
In defiance Of the martial law
proclamation, the Sim Feiners IN
! south Ireland are evidently detci-
mined to wage relentless gucrrilll
warfare.
A military lorry was bombed out
side OF Cork and fourteen Black and
Tan policemen were wounded.
The whole heart OF the city OF Cork
Is mass of smouldering ashes today.
Black and Tan policemen are accused
OF setting the torch to Cork In re-
prisal for a Sim Fein attack Satur-
day night, but the Irish once in Lon
don denied this. The partial destruc-
tion of Cork. entailing $4,000 900
damage. was severe blow to the
Republican cause.
CORK AS IRISH BOTBED.
Cork was the hotbed Of Sim Fein-
/ ism. The foremost leaders OF the
movement lived there, funds were
collected and maintained there. and
| il was understood to be the seat of
the inner councils. Terence McSwinev.
who became the hero of the Sim Fein
through his voluntary death for the
cause, was formerly Lord Mayor of
Cork.
All OF South ireland r. crammed
with British troops. Measure, are
being taken to tighten and possibly
extend martial law. All the motor
cars at Queenstown have already bean
lcommandecred by British troops
which was interpreted as n prelimi-
nary move to more drastic military
activity.
The severity with which the British
troops are putting down sniping and
| ambuscade attacks was revealed from,
Cloync, County Cork, where bombs
were thrown from two houses at n
military patrol. The bombers were
attacked; one was killed, two Others
were wounded, and two were made

burned to the ground.
