If the conference decides to let the present building programs continue, then the United States will win.
 The present authorizations of the navies of the world would make the navy of the United States equal to that of Great Britain by 1924 and al most double the slze of the Japarose navy. Japans naval program does not begin to approach that of the United States, and even her pro. ect- ed but unauthorized program would not make her navy equal to that of the United States by 1927.
 U. s. Has Not Advantage
 All of these figures, however, are based on tonnage, and the Naval In- telligence Service has compiled some interesting statistics as to the rela tive efficiency of the three great navies of the world which do not give the navy of the United States
 At the present time the British navy has supremacy over the Ameri. can navy in every style of fighting craft, while the United States has su- premacy over Japan in battleships and destroyers. By 1924, when the American building program Is com pleted, this condition will have been changed, for the American building program will have been completed. but the American navy, though equal in tonnage strength, will still be out chased in some of the modern fight ing vessels.
 If the present programs go through the year 1924 will still find the Unit ed States greatly outclassed by Great Britain in light cruisers, battle cruis- CTS, submarines and aircraft carriers. At that time Japan will also out class the United States in light cruis- CTS and battle cruisers
 Inasmuch as there is q great diff ference of opinion among naval ex- perts as to the relative value of the battleship and the light cruisers and battle cruisers, it appears from pres ent statistics that the United States stands to be outclassed in major naval weapons by 1924 unless the forthcoming conference decides to put a check upon the present build ing programs.
 Will Ships Be Junked?
 Japan's naval program is at the present time largely projected. and it would appear from bare statistics that the Oriental nation stands to lose more than any other nation as the result of the disarmament con ference unless there is an agreement to junk some of the vessels that arc already in commission.
 If there is to be any destruction of vessels by order of the conference. then the United States may again be the loser. for this nation has fewer vessels which it can afford to give up than Great Britain.
 Naval experts are bewildered as they attempt to forecast the chances of the American navy at the hands of the disarmament conference and admit that it is going to be game of chance all around

More Drug Addicts
The Number of Cases Has Trebled,
Says N. Y. Dept. Public Welfare.

The Number OF cases has Irepleo'
Says N. Y. Dept. Public Welfare.
NEW YORK, N. Y.-Statistics
from city hospitals show that drug
addition has trebled since prohibition
went into effect, according to a report
made public today by the department
of public welfare of which Bird 5.
Coler is commissioner.
"In 1918 hospitals treated 10 cases
of drug addictions," the report said.
"In 1919 this number increased to 339
and in 1920 439 drug addicts were ad-
mitted. These figures represent only a
small portion of the total number OF
drug addicts treated For instance, the
1920 figures are for Manhattan alone,
with no totals for the other burroughs"
Prohibition has not perceptibly les
sened the number of alcoholics treated
in city hospitals, the report stated and
added:
"In 1918 there were LAS men and
women treated for alcoholism. In 1920,
despite the costliness of liquor and the
difficulty of getting it, there were l.
O24 cases treated. For the first six
months of 1921 the records show that
567 alcoholic cases were attended,
while the number of drug addicts for
this six months period climbed to 377."
