F FUEL FOR NAVY
IS DEBATED ON
FLOOR Of HOUSE
Madden Contends Amount
Appropriated Is Sufficient
But Department Officials
Dispute Claim.
tBy The Associated Press.)

Washington, March 2.-The dis
cussion of the amount of fuel the
navy will need for the rest of the
fiscal year reached the floor of the
house today when Chairman Mad
den of the appropriation commit
toe, in opening debate on the gov
ernment's second deficiency bill
for the year. declared in reference
to the dispute over fuel oil that
this was the first time in framing
the measure that naval experts had
failed to raise the specter Of an
impending war with Japan.
Mr.. Madden agreed that in cut
ting the figure for fuel oil from
around $12,000,000 to S6,000,000.
the committee had reached its
conclusions on basis of a NIL
lion and quarter dollars a
month which. according to one OF
the best in the navy, whose
name | will not mention, will suf-
flee"
Officials at the navy department.
however, disagreed tonight with
this estimate, asserting that even IL
every ship In the navy at home or
abroad, were brought to anchor
Immediately and kept idle until
July I, next, the fuel bin at the
end of the year would exceed the
limit the appropriations commit
tee has proposed by at least half
million dollars.
1t was made clear by depart
ment officials that the general or
der directing that all naval ves-
sells except those in the Far East,
Near East and in Mexican and
South American waters, stoD
steaming and remain where theY
are, and remain at anchor or at
dock until the end of the fiscal
year, could not be delayed many
days without greatly increasing
the probable fuel deficiency be-
yond the limit proposed by the
house committee Ships that will
be permitted to operate under
steam, if the order is issued, will
be only those engaged on missions
abroad to which they were sent at
the request of the state depart
ment.
Mr.. Madden coupled with his
statement vigorous warning to

ceeding appropriations In this
connection officers pointed out to-
night that under an act first psea.

thorities that this did not consti-

Secretary Denvy told the ap-
DropriatiOns subcommittee that
he regarded It his trust and duty
to maintain the navy efficiency
and pointed out that the only au-
thorization he had given for use
OF fuel to the fleets in connection
with the spring maneuvers was
that permitting ships to run past
targets in order that the crews of
the guns might have actual prac-
ticn with their weapons.
The department was still with
holding the stop steaming order to-
night in the hope that the situa-
tion would clear itself in congress
before such action became necos-
sary.

Rev. B. M. Bridges
Gives Facts In
His Case

1t is doubtful if there has ever
been medicine endorsed by so many
ministers of the Gospel as has Tan
lac. Indeed there is scarcely a
faith, creed or denomination in all
the land in which one, or more, of
the clergymen has not publicly ex-
pressed their Indebtedness to the
Premier preparation for the benefits
they have derived from it's use.
One of the latest to speak out in
this connection is Rev. B. M.
Bridges, residing at Mooresboro, N.
c., whose statement follows:
''Tanlac has given me a good ap-
petite, toned up my system and re-
newed my strength in such graft
flying way that l am glad to recon-
mend it to anyone who is in run
down condition. For ten years past
have had such a severe case of in
digestion that l could not find any
thing to eat that agreed with me.
Finally | became very nervous and
could get but very little sleep or
rest.
ut seems that took nearly every
thing trying to get myself right,
but nothing helped me until l ran
across Tanlac. My nerves are so
much better now that my sleep is
sound and refreshing. l enjoy my
meals and have also gained weight.
can say from experience that Tan
lac is a splendid medicine and tonic,
for it has built me up wonderfully.
Tanlac is sold by all good drug
