PREMIER URGES
NEW NARSH|PS

LONDON. July 21.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press. Lloyd George declar-
ed in the house of commons today
that it was essential for the govern
ment to proceed with its policy Of re-
placing obsolete capital ships of the
navy. 1t would be a dereliction of
duty to allow the efficiency of the
royal navy to deteriorate, the premier
declared.
The necessity for replacing obso-
lete ships, he said. would not be af-
fected by the forthcoming conference
on disarmament in Washington
which, he assumed, will be a COM
plete success" He said the govern
ment, in replacing obsolete ships,
neither committed itself nor contem-
plated any building program in ans
wer to any power.
"As a result Of candid discussion
with principal naval powers" the pre-
mier declared, it might be possible
to avoid anything in the nature of
competitive building but meanwhile
the navy must be maintained at it's
present efficiency.

Seven of the one-ton missiles were

the two had exploded near the port
quarter, the Ostriesland began to set

two babies left with them as board

dren on a bed which they set afire in

The women were Mrs. Eliza Mosel-

were eccentric, the police say.
The baby victims were Helen
Stankovich, 9 years old, and her 2
year-old brother, Felix.
Clutching the helpless children In
their arms, the two women set the
bed afire, police say the evidence
shows, and when a neighbor managed
to break his way into the bedroom,
through locked doors, the four burn
ed bodies were found on the bed, the
arms of the women encircling the ba-
bies. The room was damaged but
little. The iron bed was red hot and
all the bed clothing had been burned
away.
The children, who were motherless,
