costumed in the time Of Marie An

responded in color and design to that
elaborate period. The tableaux, which

BUILDING SUSPENSION
Would Not Pin Safety Of u. S
to Construction of Air
- =. Craft or Subs
(By United Press)

Washington, Feb. 3. (By A. l..
Bradford) The United States must
continue the, building of battleships
until 1t has navy equal to the
strongest. the general board of the
navy declared today in q special re-
port to Secretary Daniels. 1T would
be lack Of wisdom for this country to
pin its safety on aircraft or subma-
rines as replacing battleships as the
most powerful engine of naval war
fare" the board said. mo rest or
Limitation OF armament should be
agreed to until the United States has
navy equal to the strongest" &C.
cording to the report. Suspension
for six months or any other suspen-
sion of the battleship building pro-
gram was claimed as neither neces-
sary nor advisable for making an eX-
tended study of what will constitute
the most powerful navy.
This last step was proposed In b.
rah's resolution and Daniels advised
submitting the report to the senate
naval committee which will consider
the resolution. The general board
takes direct issue with the theory
that great Britain has temporarily
suspended building of battleships be-
cause of belief that battleships are
dead.
