Congress May Reduce Naval Estimate

alone-something more than thirty, in
Guiding six battle cruisers, ten battle
ships and ten scout cruisers. AS this
work goes forward now the navy is
spending about 100000 or $S,OO0,0OO
a month. This rate, believe, is rapid
enough to carry on the necessary con-
struction, and about $100,000,OO0 ought
to be enough to carry out the building
program.
81 told Senator Harding that in any
discussion of the reduction of arma-
ment l could not see how we could
avoid building these ships, for 1t
would cost as much now to discOn-
tinue building as it would to finish the
job"
Representative Kelley said proper
tionate armament reduction should
be made off the bottom"
'We should abandon the old ships
and old guns" he said, 'in any dis
armament scheme. Every nation will
keep its new weapons"
Disarmament is scheduled for
lengthy discussion in both branches
of congress. In the senate the for
eign relations committee will resume
consideration of the Borah and Walsh
resolutions for naval disarmament.

Gen. Crowder's Difficult Errand in Cuba

HOW to accomplish defiation without

possible revolution, or American in
tervention, is the Cuban problem con-
fronting Gen. Enoch Crowder, who
was sent there by the United States
to straighten out Cuba's tangled polit-
icaI and economic affairs. The Gu
bans have great confidence in General
CrOwder.
The Menocal administration pro-
fesses deep distrust of the schemes
for Cuban financial reform. These
schemes are alleged to favor Absorb
ton of the tottering Havana banks
by Wall street financial interests and
the consequent profits of millions by
them from Cubas distress.
Cuba owes her present financial
troubles largely to speculation in SUI
gar when the world shortage was ac-
centuated through the boarding by
profteers, which sent the price of
sugar to 10 cents per pound on New
York docks. Cuban planters and mill
owners reaped fortunes overnight, but
this only whetted their appetites, and
they formed a combine which was
pledged to withhold 100000 bags of
sugar from the market until the price
should go to % cents or more.
In the meantime the speculation
bubble burst and the Cubans woke up

Representative Watson of Pennsyl-

vertS to the idea rapidly.
Consideration of the new tariff thus
far finds Republican members of the

Representative Fordney, chairman

cided sympathy with this reversal of
the policy which has been in effect for
more than century.

BATTLES LONG WITH FISH
Fisherman After Long Struggle Lands
Largest SWordfish Ever Seen
at Seabright, NJ. ].

Seabright, N. IA 400-pound
swordfsh, one of the largest ever
brought to the shore at Seabright, N.
j., was captured near the Middle
Banks, about 20 miles from Seabright,
after a fight of nearly three hours by
Captain Leslie of the Rumson Road
colony.
After several attempts to harpoon
the fish, Captain Leslie succeeded in
spearing it in the side, and Alvin
Swanson, his companion, little later
sank another just behind the head
For over two hours longer the mon
ster thrashed about trying to shake
out the harpoons, and for time the
boat was in danger of overturning as
it trailed the fish in his frenzied eff
forts to break loose.
At last, as he began to tire, the boat
was pulled up to him and Captain
Leslie landed two more harpoons be-
hind the head, which took all the fight
out of the creature. The finishing
touches were soon given, and the car
cass hauled into the boat. The fish
is said to have brought the largest
price ever paid for one of his kind.
His sword measured more than, three
feet in length.

The sugar and related Industries

machinery and supplies from America

To save the insolvent banks from

One of Jenny's models of this type
is developed in dull red velours de
laine and trimmed with moleskin. 1t
has the creased fullness drawn close
over the stomach. At one side is a
long sash of the cloth lined with a
beautiful gray satin. Where the sash
is attached to the dress buckle of
carved shell is placed.
There is considerable discussion
over long skirts, but about the only
places where one actually sees them
are the dressmaking establishments.
Premet is among the dressmakers who
stand out in favor of the long skirt.
Some of her models are ankle length.
Just to what extent women will ac-

to be determined.
A model of this character is de-
veloped in red lace and black satin.
The novelty of the lace, as well as
the form of the dress, adds to its in

and embroidered in gold threads. The

ROPE SUPERIOR TO LEATHER
Fibrous Material Rapidly SuppIanting
Betting in American and Euro
pean Mills and Factories.

For 20 years there has been an in
creasing use in this country of manila
rope for power transmission in mills
and factories in place of leather belt
ing. In English factories ropes super
seeded betting long ago. and their use
is nearly universal. In the United
States the change that has taken place
began with the acquisition of the Phil
ippine islands, where, as everybody
knows, the Manila hemp fourishes.
The fiber of the hemp varies in length
from 6 to II feet, and occasionally at
tains a length Of IS feet. 1t is said
to possess greater tensile strength
than any other fiber known, exceed
ing $4,000 pounds per square inch.
Rope drives, as transmission ropes are
called, possess the advantage of noise
lessness, owing to their flexibility and
to the existence of an air passage in
the grooves between the rope and the
sheath.

Tones Of Rust
Turn to Brown

Color, always an important factor
in fashions, is claiming more than
usual attention this season. This is
practically the first time. notes Paris
fashion correspondent, that the Paris
dressmaker has had an opportunity to
launch absolutely postwar colors. Dur
ing the years that have succeeded the
signing of the armistice it has been
largely a question Of using up stocks
of both manufactured goods and raw
materials. But throughout the sea-
sons which have interviewed the French
manufacturer has had time to readjust
himself to new regime, so that what
is being shown this winter as novelty
is actually new. Hence the new col
ors appearing for 1921 are worthy OF
more than passing mention.
Strong, well determined and definite
describe the tones shown on the color
cards for next spring. The choice Of
the Paris dressmaker and milliner Is
equally well defined. Red is the pres
ent winter novelty, and 1t is antici-
pated that it's favor will be Increased
in the spring. In the new red series
rust shades still are immensely popu-
lar.
Rust Color Leads Into Brown.
These rust tones gradually lead to
brown, a color in high favor and shown
in very large assortment Of tones,
running from the deepest so-called
black browns into high shades that
touch on russell and gold.
