provided for treaty fleet" There
is no connection in this with .prohibi-
tion or tutti-fruitti. The "treaty
fleet" takes the place of other pet
names for the United States Navy,
and the term is descriptive of the
agreement Of the times conference
when the four world powers fixed the
size for their respective fighting ma
chimes. The personnel of the new
navy is fixed at $4,000. Secretary
of the Navy DENLY is making a
fight for 100000 for naval aeron-
autics. Despite the fact that this
branch Of the service nearly wound
up, in a fizzle and scandal at the
time of the signing Of the Armistice,
and Notwithstanding the many spec
tacular accident that have occurred
there is growing feeling in Con-
gress that airships are being i'm
proved, and that limited expenditures
in this direction will replace the raids
upon the treasury for huge warships
of questionable value to the Navy.
