1 BATTLESHIP EXEMPT
Colorado, More Than 90 Per
Cent Completed, Will Be
Retained by America

WASHINGTON, Feb. s. CBy The
Associated Press.) - Construction
work on IA capital ships was sus-
pended today by order of Secretary
Denby under direction of President
Harding. The step was taken in an
ticipation of ratification of the naval
limitation treaty, which resulted from
the Washington conference, and under
which only three of the vessels in
volved will be completed as war craft
The other IL will be scrapped or con-
verted to merchant ships under the
treaty.
Secretary DENLY acted after Assist
ant Secretary Roosevelt had discussed
with President Harding the terms OF
the treaty affecting the ne wships.
Harding approved the suggestion that
work be halted Immediately On the
eight super-dreadnaughts and six bat
tie cruisers pending final action on
the treaty. The building operations
thus halted have cost the government
approximately s5,0O0,000 a month.
Predict Huge Saving
Following ratification of the treaty,
contracts for the new ships will be
cancelled. The ultimate cost TO the
government of this cancellation can
not be determined, but naval officials
believe a considerable saving will be
made through today's action.
Only one capital ship under con-
struction was exempted from today's
suspension order. She is the Color

While work on the battleships West

NORTH IRELAND
RESIDENTS ARE

Organized kidnapping Causes
Situation in Erin to As
sumo Startling Angle
TROOPS AGAIN CALLED
Members of Republican Army
Make Prisoners of Many
Leading Ulster Citizens

LONDON, Feb. S.-The Irish situa-
tion took startling turn today with
news of wholesale and organized kid
naping raids against prominent Ul-
ster Unionists early this morning.
The numerous victims, including
many special constables who were
dispatched to aid in stopping the
raids, were spirited to unknown des-
raiders showed that they were at
tached to the Irish Republican army.
The northern government was un-
able to invoke the aid of the mill
tary, and had to depend on the special
forces, which apparently were not;
strong enough to prevent the kidnap-
ings. The northern goveI nInenr ap-
pealed to the imperial government,
which took prompt steps to meet the
situation, authorizing the Belfast gov
ernment to employ British troops ror
guarding the boundaries, and sending
& message to Michael Collins, provi-
sional president. demanding that
proper measures be initiated for the
release of the capture men and pre-
vention of repetition of the outrages.
Raids Are Explained.
Winston Spencer Churchill. secre-
tary for the colonies, announced in
parliament tonight that a response
had been received from Coiiins ex-
planning that the raids were due TO ap
prehensions over the fate OF the Lon
donderry prisoners and that the pro-
visional government was taking nee
essary steps to secure their reiease.
1t was announced that the men cap
tured in Sligo had a;reauy returned
home, but whether as a result OF the
imperial governments action is not
known. No news of releases else
where has been received.
Sir James Craig, Ulster premier,
who is here to spur the imperial gov
ernment to action, has sent a stirring
manifesto to the Ulster people, cEarg-
ing the British government with re-
sponsibility for the outrages anu ue-
claring listers determination not to
Weld anything.
May Affect Discussions.
The incident created quite a SEN
sation in the lobbies of parliament
tonight, where it was feared it would
have an adverse effect on the ;r:s:l
negotiations, and make difficult the
hoped-for renewal of negotiations be-
tween Sir James Craig and Collins.
The small majority obtained by the
government in the house of lords to-
night on an amendment in connec-
tion with Irish affairs is regaroeu 40
