SCRAPP|NG U. {. NAVAL PROGRAM
 WILL COST HALF BILLION DOLLARS
TRepublIcan A. P. Leased WIrel

WASHINGTON. Nov. 14.-Actual cost to the United. States of the scrapping of the present naval build ing program, naval officials estimat- ed today, would be between s400,- 100000 and s5tO,oOO, 900. exclusive of any salvage plan. In his statement to the conference Secretary Hughes said that the work already done had cost $330, ,000, but these figures do not include costs incident to abandonment of the ships under con struction.
 Assistant Secretary Roosevelt said today that the American program would save the government about $200, 900, 900 in naval expenditures. The figure is the difference between the total cost of completion of the ships, about s600,000, 900, and what scrapping would cost. Included in for reimbursement of contractors for work they have been compelled to do in their yards in preparation for building the huge craft.
 There is no intention by the gov ernment to stop work on the new ships until an agreement is actually reached by the conference and rati- fled by the governments.
 This was made plain today. Con- struction on the great majority of vessels is proceeding slow. however the division of available building funds averaging about s2,000,000 a year per capital ship involved. The only ships on which work has been halted, pending developments, are the two at New York navy yard. Stop page there, 1t was said, does not in- volve probability of damage suits for breach of contract.
 In any case, it was added, expendi- lures in progress on ships that may he ordered scrapped are of such a na- ture that they could not be saved.
 The bulk of the $2,000,000 a year for each ship is for materials ordered and which would have to be paid for in any case. Only in one or two cases is there a large labor force at work on actual building.
 One phase of the program naval of ficers have been struck with is its probable effect on the three great shipbuilding plants doing most oi new ship construction. These plants it was said, were engaged almost en- tireIy on government work and those ships which would be scrapped under the plan. All three, it was predicted would in all probability be forced tc close. They are the plants of the New York Shipbuilding company the Fore River (Massachusetts) company. and the Newport News company.
 It was evident that naval officers quite generally expected Mir. Hughes program to be accepted with only minor notifications. There was some surprise indicated that the Brit ish delegation had not announced ac- | ceptance immediately when the plar was presented, leaving until later such adjustment of details as might | seem desirable The modificationE which MT. Balfour, heading the Brit ish group, will submit tomorrow, i was said, apparently could have beer worked out afterward as well as be- ifore a general agreement.

IRepubIican A. P. Leaeed wIre1

WASHINGTON, Nov. 14-Peace between the United States and Ger many was formally proclaimed today by President Harding,
 The president in a procla ma tion signed at 3:52 p. m. today declared the state of war between the United States and Germany, existing from April 6, 1917, to have terminated in fact, July 2, 1921, when the joint peace resolution of congress was ap- proved by the executive
 The text of the presidents proc 1ai1ation follows:
 By the President of the United States of America.
 "A PROCLAMATION;
 Whereas, by joint resolution of congress, approved March 3, 1921, it was declared certain acts of congress, Joint resolutions and proclamat tions should be construed as if the war be- tween the United States of America and the Imperial German government had ended, but certain acts of con- gress and proclamations issued in pursuance thereof were excepted from operation of the said resolu- tion;
 Whereas, by Joint resolution of congress approved July ?, 1921, the state of war which was declared by joint resolution of congress approved April 6, 1917, to exist between the United States of America and the Imperial German government was declared at an end;
 Whereas, treaty between the United States and Germany was signed at Berlin, August 25, 1921, to restore the friendly relations existing between the nations prior to the out nf h0 -I,f r1,s r. word for word as follows:
 (Here follows text of treaty.
 And whereas, the said treaty has been duly ratified by both parts, and the ratification of the two countries were exchanged at Berlin on Nov. Il, 1921:
 Nov, therefore, be 1t known, that I, Warren c. Harding, president of the United States of America, hereby proclaim that the war between the United States and Germany termi- mated on July 2. 1921. and cause the said treaty to be made public to the end that every article and clause thereof may be observed and fulfilled by the United States and citizens thereof.
 Tn witness whereof, I have here unto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be af- fixed. Done at the city of Washing ton, this fourteenth day of November one thousand nine hundred and twen- ty-one, and of the independence oi the United States the one hundred and forty sixth.
 (Signed
 WARREN G. HARDING,
 By the President,
 CHARLES E. HUGHES,
 Secretary of State"
 Issuance of the proclamation which followed exchange of notifications of the treat of Berlin, effected Armis- tice day, was considered the first of series of three steps which, when completed, will return the United States to peace status.
 Two More Proclamations.
 The second step probably will be the promulgation of a proclamation declaring the war with Austria tc have ended, and the third, issuance o1 a similar proclamation as to Hun gary. The proclamation dealing witt Austria is expected to be signed bS the president and issued through the state department within a few day: as ratifica tions of the treaty betweer the United States and Austria were
