COST OF SCRAPPING AMERICAN NAVY
WILL REACH CLOSE TO HALF BILLION

scrapping costs are allowances for re-
endorsement of contractors for work
they have been compelled to do IN their
yards in preparation for the huge craft
to be built.
There is no intention on the part Of
the government to stop work on the
new ships until an agreement actually
is reached by the conference and rati-
fed by the governments involved. That
was made plain today. Construction
on the gTeat majority &c the vesseis
is proceeding very slowly, however. the
division OF available building funds
averaging about $2.0O0,000 q year PEI
capital ship involved. The only ships
upon which work has been brought tc
a complete standstill, pending develop
ments in washington, are the two al
New York naval yard. Stoppage there
it was said, does not involve probable
ity of damage suits for breach q
contract.

ITSEOF NAVIES IN FUTURE FOR
PURPOSE OF DEFENSE PROPOSED
Proposed Limits Capital Ships for the Three Powers Regard
as Sufficient for Respective Navies for Defense

for easy agreement. The propof
limits Of capital ships for the thF
powers were regarded as sufficient i
respective navies Of defense. y
American delegates were reported
have rejected, as bases for conside1
ton, the questions OF territorial pe
sessions, their extent and whetn
they were scattered or collected. TIL
also were said to have rejected,
impractical in considering a defensi
navy, the question of mileage of !
spective coast lines.
1t was made known that the Unit
states, by virtue of its having {
most extensive naval building progra
felt itself in q position to make I
definite proposals which were la
before the conference. The Americ
delegates were said to feel that, und
the circumstances, the United Stai
had a primary" interest in naN
building and competition. They co
sidered, it was said. that not only

grams this country was definite

IRELAND'S FUTURE
UNDER DISCUSSION
Negotiations Between British.
Sim Fein and Ulster
Officials Being Held.
az The Assoelated Prsa,.,

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE npeoffa. .
lions among British, Sim Fein and
Ulster officials regarding the future 81
| Ireland have now entered into stage
in which the negotiators are talking 81
intermittent conferences extending over
months instead of weeks.
The chief interest this possibility has
at the moment is that it promises to
make impossible an early visit of Prime
Minister Lloyd George to Washington
as he has been hoping to do all along.
This development is assuming great
Importance in English public and Off
.cial spheres, because the washington
conference has suddenly attained pro
portions in British eyes of an event of
tremendous and absorbing significance.
Counter proposals for an Irish settle
ment to those made BY the Ulster cab
met last week were forwarded 10 the
ulsterites this evening by the British /
informing the Ulster /
ties that their Alternative proposal was
not acceptable. No further meeting
held between the British and Ulster
delegates has yet been arranged.
It now seems that the prenie~'s
diplomacy must be directed to bringing
Ulster into three -cornered agreement
n the meantime, the Sim Fein win sit
on the sideiines and await develop
nents. The northerners are the badl
BOYS now" remarked one OF the Sim
7ein delegates.
listers watehwogd is NO surren-
ier,7 but some OF the newspapers ind
.omfort in the thought that this is the ,
lrst stage OF all IN the bargain making.
ne crux Of the difficulty rests in the
INN Feinss claim that Ireland must be
governmental unit. as opposed to !
listers claim that If Ireland is to have
dominion status. Ulster must be IN
er independent rule.

END OF BATTLE CRUISERS AS NAVAL
WEAPONS PREDICTED BY NAVY MEN

to the conference. which would leave the
American fleet without battle cruisers
although Great Britain and Japan would
retain four each, rests partly at least,
on these conditions.
The original argument for battle cruis-
ers was that swift. heavily armed ships
would be invaluable for scouting purposes
to 90 ahead Of the battle fleet and estab-
Hsh touch with the enemy. Naval prac-
tice had then devised the wide-spreading
destroyer and light cruiser screen idea
to mask the movements of a main fleet.
A battle cruiser, it was said, would have
power and speed to crush through such
q line, locate the masked feet and escape
to its own fleet with the vital Infarna-
ton.

over the negotiations Oh the main topic
Of armament limitation. Since only the
delegates of the five powers are quali-
fled to act on armament limitation IN
the conference, the result in each case
viii be to resolve the delegates into
a committee Of the whole.
Although no official would make a
prediction prior to the assembling of
the new committees, the presumption
everywhere tonight was that the
meetings would be held behind closed
doors and that the public would get
glimpse of the proceedings only
when, in their capacity as committee
men, the delegates have an important
decision to report to the conference as
a whole.

with a good deal of feeling that she
expected to visit her sister whom she
had not seen for almost three years.
"She's the only relation I've got and
I think the world of her." said Mrs.
Finkelstein. "Will you be away
long?" I asked She stared at me.
"What do you mean? I'll come home
the same night, but God knows when
thatll be. She lives way out in
Brooklyn"
But young Benjamin's papa" didn't
live in Brooklyn and he wasn't real
relative; which makes all the differ
ence in the world. Myer Kasminsky,
prosy, sentimental and the most gen
erous retired liquor dealer who ever
lived in the Bronx, was childless, so
when his old landsman, Levi Steiner,
died somewhere down on the East
Side, leaving widow and three chill
dren, Myer adopted the eldest boy,
Benjamin, more or less informally,
and promised to bring him up as his
own son. Mrs. Steiner and the two
little girls went to live with a brother
in Mississippi. She did not see Ben
iamin again until she came up to New
York-on a check sent by the
thoughtful Kasminsky-to cry at his
wedding with just as much feeling as
though she still considered him her
very own son. When she returned to
Vicksburg, she confded to her sister,
in-law that she would never forgive
the Kasminsky's for stealing her
child's love. "He turned around and
kissed her and called her 'auntie' right
after the wedding, before he looked
at me-" mourned Mrs. Steiner. "That
amt no way to treat a mother, is it ~
The wedding, by the way, seemed
to the Kasminsky's to be the final goal
of all their hopes and plans for their
foster child. The bride, little Lenora
Mischkind, came from zone Of the
incest Jewish families in Harlem"
as the saying goes, was well-educated,
pretty and as rich as she was beau
tiful. can only child-you should get
half what she gets when her papa
dies!" beamed Mamma Kasminsky to
her most intimate friends. "And not
bit stuck up neither. When asked
her how should furnish their room
here with that ivory finish furniture
that's so swell now, or white painted
with blue flowers, she says, I'm salts
fled if you are, mamma l didn't
know they made 'em like that any
more"
But little Lenora was not half so
complacent as she seemed. True, she
loved Benjamin dearly, and was more
than willing to love his foster parents
for his sake, but as the only child of
an indulgent widowed father she had
acquired some rather independent
ideas of her own. "Why can't we live
by ourselves right away" she had
demanded when Benjamin, several
months before the wedding, passed
on his parents suggestion that they
should share the same apartment.
"I'd like to-" he confessed, "but
papa says flats are sky-high and"
1--WE can afford to pay good rent.
Your salary-and my allowance"
"Papa don't think we ought to
spend a cent we don't have to the
first year or so. He wants me to save
my salary and maybe go into bust
ness or something. He says he's able
to support us like his father in the
old country when they first got mar
ried."
"But this isn't Russia" pouted
Lenora-she was most charming
