House Committee Cannot I'm
derstand Big Appropriation.
Secretary of Navy Objects to
Cutting Navy Personnel.
FEAR WRATH OF THE VOTERS
Committee Declares Big Budget
Will Rouse Storm.
Same Thing Over "Billion Dol
lar Congress" Says Sec'y.

Washington. FEB 1o.-Se secretary u
the Navy DENLY encountered some Sc
rious objections to his proposals for
naval appropriations when ap-
peared today before the house naval
affairs committee with a schedule OF
reductions designed to reduce expen-
ditures from s478, 100000 to s35O,OOO,-
900 during the fiscal year 1s22-2S-
THAT will not do" objected Repre-
sentative Thomas S. Butler of Penn
sylvia mia, the committee chairman,
when Denly had presented his fig
ures Before the war in 1916 the
cost of maintaining the navy, exclu-
sive of construction, was O7,0O0,OOe.
AS we have taken out most OF the con-
struction by the limitation of arma-
ment agreement. the people will not
support a vote by us for three times
this pre-war cost of the navy.
There was at first the same cont
plant over a billion dollar congress"
DENLY said.
1T was less probable now than be-
fore the armament conference" But
Ter demanded.
ut was less probable" DENLY sad.
hut until all nations further reduce
their navies it is ill-advised for the
United States to do so.
Ratify Treaties First
'"The treaties must be ratified be-
fore there is a reduction IN navy per-
sor mel. The navy IS undermined to-
day The conference decided on n
navy for the United States reduced to
a theoretical minimum necessary to
national defense.
Great good has come from that
as shown by the reductions already
proposed
Chairman Butler asked the secre-
tary if he advised keeping the fleet
on war bass.
NO" DENLY replied.
Then in the name of common sense
why do you want to maintain with
full complement of officers and
men, mine layers and mine sweepers?"
Butler asked
Must Keep Fleet Units.
DENLY explained that it was essen
tial that units of a naval fleet be kept
up even if each unit be reduced in size
and strength
There is no fixed basis for peace
strength of the navy" the secretary
continued. Il could lay up all the
ships. If you want to depart from
the recommendations of the armament
conference as to minimum strength
of the navy for defense, you can do so.
THE navy department must give
the best advice it can to sustain an
adequate navy under the treaty"
Reductions in the personnel and
equipment of the navy were recofn-
mended by Secretary DENLY. DENLY
urged that an appropriation be made
to maintain an enlisted personnel of
10000 men and 5000 apprentices, a
decrease of about 10000 under the
present strength.
Reduce Number of Cadets.
Because of lack of appropriations.
DENLY told the committee that 10o
destroyers would have to be placed
out of commission. He said that there
should be no decrease in commissioned
personnel, but recommended the grad
uation of all members of the first
class at the United States naval
academy.
AS another economy measure, the
secretary of the navy suggested that
the numbers of appointments to the
academy now accorded each member
of congress be reduced from five to
three

The car was in an accidental smash

January 2, and was being rebuilt and

One theory of the origin of the fire
was that the loose wires from the

short circuit.
The greater mystery is how it hap
pened to be extinguished, rather than
how the fire started" Souders said
this afternoon. The partition beside
the car had blazed up and then had

The fact that the car had been on
fire was not known until Sunday
morning, when employees of the paint

DICK COOLEY COMING BACK
Old Time Manager May Again Head
Topeka Ball Club.

Topeka BAN NiuD.
A plan to form a local stock COM
pany and bring Dick Cooley back as
manager of the club constitutes the
latest move to put Topeka in the
Southwestern Baseball league.
This was the announcement made
this afternoon by John, c. McCloskey
who says that Cooley will be in the
city Tuesday to meet his old friends
and look the situation over.
If the plan is successful, McCfoske y
says he will answer a call from Salina
and take over the managership of a
league team at that place.
Cooley is the only man to give To-
peka a winning ball club, and with
another good Kansas town added to
the circuit along with Hutchinson,
these developments no doubt win
cause local interest to pick up.
Under the present arrangements the
league would consist of Topeka, Sa-
lima, Hutchinson, independence, COT
feyville. Muskogee, Bartlesville and
Sapulpa.

POTASH
INDUSTRY REEVES
Will Soon Be Sending Potash to United
States-America Her Best
Customer.

BERLIN, March 8.-Germany's pot
ash industry, disrupted by the war, is
rapidly getting on its feet again. With
in the last few months, according TO re-
cent announcement, Germany has con-
cluded arrangements for resumption of
her potash trade with all European
countries, except Poland, and also a
number of oversee countries including
the United States. The value of the to-
tai potash output in Germany in 1927
is estimated at 2,500,000,O0 marks.
In a review of the potash business in
the Transatlantic Trade Journal for
January published by the American
chamber of IN in Germany, it is
stated that relations with dealers in
the United States recently nave been
re-established, the American consumers
now being considered, as before the war,
Germany s largest and most important
market for this branch of trade.
OF particular interest to America is
the statement of the chamber of com
meree that the potash industry estab-
lished in the United States during the
war is not considered in the least a him
drance to the German export trade OF
the near future.
