BERLIN, May 4.-The German
Cabinet, headed by Chancellor Kon-
stantin Fehrenbach, resigned to-day.
It's action is regarded by those close
to the situation here to be preiimi-
nary to Germany's acceptance Of the
reparations demands Of the London
conference Of the Allies.
The Ministry, in which DR.. Wal
ter Simons has been Minister of For
eign Affairs, had been tottering ever
since it became apparent that its
efforts to tighten the Allied repsra-
tions demands through appeal to the
United States had failed. It's COL
lapse to-day came on the heels Of a
rumor Of its impending downfall
that swept through political circles
shortly before the Foreign Affairs
Committee Of the Reichstag went
into session. It was recognized that
the crisis in foreign and domestic
affairs made the move inevitable.
Chancellor Fehrenbach was busy
throughout the morning receiving
leaders of the various parties, with
whom he went into details concern
ing the situation.

By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, May 4.-With the
absolute conviction that in the event
of war with any of several nations
lack of strength in the air would spell
disaster for the American navy, navy
officers have begun drive with view
to bringing the, air fighting forces of
this country at least up to second place
among the great powers.
This drive, in way, was begun to-
night in an address to members Of the
Senate and House by Commander Ken
meth Whiting, Of the Aviation Opera
tions Section Of the navy. The talk,
which was illustrated, and which took
up recent progress and achievements
of naval aircraft, was delivered in the
caucus room Of the House Of Repre-
sentatives Office building.
1t is insisted that the American navy
has been standing still SO far as air
development is concerned. spending
hundreds of millions for completing a
building program of surface ships
which, while it may eventually bring
the American navy up to the strength
of England's. is not needed to keep
this country's navy ahead of those Of
other powers.
Others Building Air Forces
Meanwhile Britain and Japan in par
ticular, and even France and Italy on q
smaller scale, are going ahead with
aircraft.
On one point alone, big speedy ships
to carry docks Of fighting and scouting
airplanes, the American navy is OUT
classed. Great Britain has seven
modern airplane carriers. Japan is
rushing new one to completion. The
United States has only the Langley,

worse than nothing at all.
The worst feature of the Langley. in

Appropriation, as Reported,

Increase Of 500, 600, 600

WASHINGTON, May 4.-Administra-
tion forces won the first skirmish to-
day in the impending Senate fight over
naval disarmament.
Guided by the expressed wishes Of
President Harding, the Senate Naval
Committee refused to incorporate in
the annual naval appropriation meas
ure the proposal of Senator Borah
Republican, Of Idaho, authorizing and
requesting the Chief Executive to in
vite Great Britain and Japan to send
representatives to q disarmament con-
ference here.
Before the committee acted, Senator
Borah had given notice Of the fight to
come by reintroducing his proposal in
the Senate and moving to suspend the
rules to make it in order.
Senator Pomerene, Democrat, OF
Ohio, also gave formal notice that he
intended to present q disarmament
amendment His amendment would
authorize the President to delay the
building program six months, while an
effort was being made to arrange :
conference among the United States,
agreement to limit construction be
reached by the three countries, the
President might suspend the building
program in whole or in part.
Would Retain Initiative

Of the desire Of the President not ia
have this question initiated in Con-
gress in the present state of interna-
tional relations.
AS favorabIy reported to-day by the
Naval Committee, the annual naval
bill, which failed at the last session,
provides not only funds for continuing
construction Of the uncompleted 1916
program, but also for personnel
10000 in excess of the 1O0, 900 proposed
by the House. It also carries funds
for beginning work on various naval
bases on the Pacific Coass.
The committee increased the House
total of 1896, 100000 to $496, SOC, 900, or
the same figure in the bill when it
failed in the Senate last March. The
principal increases voted to-day by the
committee included $12,000,000 for
aviation, $15,O0O,000 to start work on
two new aircraft carriers, about 81 ,000.-
600 to begin construction Of new feet
base at Alameda, Calf, and other
Pacific Coast bases, and about $7,-

capital ships. There also were large
increases for pay and support of per-
sonnel.
