ENGLAND ORDERS
ALL WORK HALTED
ON BA7T[ESH|PS

LONDON, Nov. 18.--Great Brit.
ain has ordered immediate cessa-
ton of construction work on capital
ships to prove her desire for carry
ing out the Hughes program, it was
officially stated today.
1t was learned from reliable
sources that the suspension order
originated with Premier Lloyd
George, who instructed the admiral
ty to take such action.
After a sudden and unexpected
announcement by the admiralty that
work had been stopped on four new
superdreadnaughts, an official state
ment was issued to the effect this
move was Britain's first step to
prove she is DESTROYS of disarming
in accordance with the Hughes pro-
gram"
Admiral Sir Percy Scott, noted ma
val expert, characterized the sus-
pension as "a red letter day for the
tax payer" declaring cit will save
him a hundred million pounds NOR
mally about $500,000 ,000)" He fur
ther expressed the belief that the
work on the four ships specified new
er would be resumed.
Worlds Greatest Ships
The four vessels had been planned
by British naval experts after more
than a years study as the world S
greatest. They were to be larger anG
faster than the Japanese Negato,
now the worlds greatest fighting
ship.
The proposed ships were known as
the super-Hoods and also as the
"hush ships" The latter name arose
from the fact that the admiralty had
given out only very meagre informa-
IiCn about the plans for the big YES
sells. It was known, however. that
they were destined to make an eX-
press train speed-more than 40
miles an hour, now made by the lat
est battle cruiser. In addition they
were to carry an armament not only
greater than the best battle cruisers
but greater than the biggest dread
naughts. This combination of for
midable armament with the speed
o. the vessels were counted upon to
make them themost powerful af1oat.
Their guns would have outranged
the dreadnaught and they were plan.
ned to outspeed almost any vessel
except the latest destroyers.
The halting of British battleship
once planned is unprecedented.
1.-THE decision is the logical out
come of what is occurring in Wash
ington," declared Admiral Mark
Kerr. There is no use in spending
money in building ships if all are to
be Scrapped"

as abruptly returned to America and
will stay here for while.
Miss Rugel, Philadelphia girl who
acquired her vocal training and made
her initial appearance on the stage in
her home town, is the wife of Johnny
Dooley, the comedian and also Phila-
delphian. The two had planned to enter
the English musical comedy field. but

and secured Dooley's name to con-
tract even while Miss Rugel was on
her way across the ocean. She had
hardly stepped off the steamship when
she was offered an engagement to appear
on the opening bill of the new season
at Kcith's. She will sing some OF her
new songs,
