ough President Henry Fl. Curran. Re-
publican-coalition candidate for Mayor
met last night at a dinner to the Board
of Estimate by the Coney Island Board
of Trade, the occasion being the driv-
Island Boardwalk. The Mayor launched
more verbal shafts at the newspapers.
Mr. Curran. in his speech, said he did
not think the occasion one for talking
politics. He spoke generally on the
benefit of parks and Fairgrounds to the
people of the city. Other members OF
the Board of Estimate present were
Borough President Edward Riegelmann
OF Brooklyn and Comptroller Charles L.
Craig. The dinner was held at the
Hotel Shelburne, Brighton Beach. For

drove the first spike for the new board
walk in the afternoon in the presence of
about 5000 spectators, some of whom
got their feet wet by an unusually high
tide. Mayor Hylan and others spoke
briefly, the Mayor giving the full credit
for the Improvement to Mr.. Riegelmann.
Presidents talked about it, this Borough
President went ahead and completed the
job"
While the toastmaster was telling the
diners that the future of Coney Island
depends upon it's being kept clean,
wholesome family resort, Mr.. Curran
came in and seated himself on the toast
masters right. He and Mayor Hylan,
who sat on the former Governors left,
clasped hands behind the toastmaster's
back while the diners applauded.
The Mayor spoke next. He opened
the subject of school conditions and de-
clared that two new buildings had been
opened at Coney Island already and
that a third would be ready next fall
But for Gov. Smith, who had secured an
amendment of the pay as you go" law.
there would have been no schools at
all. he declared.
I'D like you to hear the truth about
the schools the Mayor said. and then
launched an attack on the newspapers,
after which he excused himself just be-
fore Mr.. Curran began speaking.
Mr.. Curran declared that parks and
bathing beaches saved hundreds Of lives
in city where two persons were killed
daily in the streets by automobiles, by
providing safe Fairgrounds and breath
ing places. He spoke kindly of Mr..
Riegelmann for his efforts for the board
walk.
Coney's new boardwalk will extend
$500 feet from Ocean Parkway to

Former Gov. Alfred Z. Smith will
make the address on Wednesday notify

the Democratic party. This announce
emnt, made last night, ls taken by many
to indicate moro clearly than anything
else how Tammany has come to realize
that the city campaign this fall is to
te a desperate battle.
The former Governor has never liked
Hylan. He has never concealed from
his friends his real opinion of the Mayor,
since the days when they were IN the
Board of Estimate together for that
first wear before the Governor went to
Albany. Particularly has he disiiked the

Asked why the Mayor did not let the
regular Democratic organization run his
campaign this time. Mr. Delaney said
that one-third the membership of the
Hylan League consisted of Republicans.
"Curran won't know he is running. un-
less we make some bad break" asserted
Mr.. Delaney.
The Mayor will not make his personal

he did four years ago. but will utilize

REGULAR ARMY NEEDS
ABOUT 5000 RECRUITS
Drastic Pruning to Obey Law
Cut 1t DosUn Too Much.

Spect0l Dcspdtch 70 lHb NEW YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau,
Washington, ID. g.. Oct. I.
The Regular Army of the United States
is approximately $4,000. according to
officials OF the War Department. This
Is 5000 below the strength authorized
by Congress and has reduced the army
to a size which is frankly regarded as
dangerous even for the ordinary police
duties of the country.
The reason why the army has fallen
below the authorized 10000 is the
severe pruning to which the Department
resorted when Congress decided to cut
down the number of enlisted men. Re-
cruiting was stopped and deaths and
other causes have depleted 1t to it's
present status
To FIJI the vacancies the Department
has resumed recruiting. In view OF
present conditions of unemployment
there will be no difficulty in obtaining
the required number of men.

Give Mexico a Square Deal.
 By MRS. JOHN w. TROY.

I met in Mexico New York busi ness man, MT. Charles K. Fankhaus- CT, of the American Fiscal Corpora tion of New York City, who very wisely said:
 Mexico should be considered in conjunction with the rest of the world. Somehow or other we are wont to consider her and her af- fairs as separate and apart. If we discuss her political conditions, we say she is all shot to pieces with revolutions; if her social condition, she is overrun with beggars; if her financial condition, she is bankrupt; i; if her taxes, they are confiscatory.
 We seem to forget that this is a world condition today and Mexico is in no worse condition and in many respects in a better condition in re. spect to these matters than most of Europe, the near or the Far East"

In addition, she is suffering from 10 years of inter nal conflict. But, in spite of this she is fundamentally sound finan cially.

NAVAL PROGRAM
 OF ARM A M ENT 1. QUICKLY GIVEN
Secretary of State Hughes Outlines Plans at Confer
 ences First Session.
WOULD SCRAP OLDER
 SHIPS OF THE NAVY
Proposal Made that Powers Take Holiday-Building
 Programs Abandoned.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-Secre- tary of State Charles E. Hughes at the very opening of the first sessions of the arms conference presented Americas proposal which briefly is as follows:
 Naval holiday in which all build ing programs be abandoned and the older ships of the navies scrapped.
 Secretary Hughes laid down for general principles the following:
 One-that all capital ships build- ing program, either actual or pro- jected be abandoned.
 Two-that further reduction be made through scrapping old ships.
 Three that in general, regard should be had to existing strength of Powers concerned.
 Four-that capital ship tonnage should be used as measurements of strength for navies and a propor- tionate allowance for auxiliary com bat craft described. ,tt
 The program affecting the United States would be to scrap all capital ships under construction, fifteen, in number and fifteen of the older battleships. ..fasf1
 Great Britain would stop con- struction of her four new ships of the Hood type and scrap all her sec ond and first line hattleships up to King George five type. This would amount to 19 ships in all with total tonnage of 5S3,375 tons.
 Japan would abandon her program for three battleships and four battle cruisers not laid down and scrap their capital ships and four battle cruisers all of them under construc- tion but uncomrleted. Japan would also scrap ten old ships with total tonnage of 159,828 tons.
 Within three. months after reach ing an agreement, the navies will consist of designated and agreed upon ships as follows: n,.S
 United States = eighteen with a total tonnage of SOC, $50. e,..st
 Great Britain-twenty-two with a total tonnage of GOA, ,450, ,a
 Jspan---ten with a total tonnage Cf 299,700. Is3. A .ae.a.
 The leplacoments would be lm- ited by agreement.
 The maximum of capital ships tonnage would be as follows:
 United States-500, 900 tons.
 Great Britain-500Q coo tons. z
 Japan-3QO. coo tons.
 This would be subject to a ten year holiday limitation.
 Capital shirs would be replaced when 20 years old, but there would be no replacement of ships having tonnage of mere than 25,000 tons.
