NAVY BEHIND IN TONNAGE,
 SAY EXPERTS
Behind the Ratio Agreed in Arms Treaty for
 lonnage

WASHINGTON, March 13.-Grave deficiencies in the defense forces of the United States under the 5-5-3 ratio agreed upon at the Washington Arms Conference will be called to the at tention of the Sixty Eighth Congress as soon as it cOnvenes officially, it was learned yesterday at the Navy Depart ment An expert survey of the sea power of the United States shows that the American Navy is from 300,000 to 100000 tons short of it's proper stand ing under the agreement. Official opinion is virtually unanimous that the Navy is greatly in need of scout craft. It is anticipated that Congress will be asked to authorize the con- struction of fast cruisers and subma- marines, with additional tonnage in these types to be constructed annual ly for a period of years. The de- ficiency in the Navy personnel is es- timated to be anywhere from twelve to twenty per cent. With many offl- cials of the Navy Department it is being maintained that the present number of the enlisted personnel should be raised from S6,000 to 10S,000 men.

NEAR EAST FARLEY
Concessions Not Discussed, Pending
More Direct Negotiations.

Lausanne, April 2S (By the Assoc
ciated Press)--The Near East confer
ence today decided to suspend consid-
Grafton of all clauses of the draft
treaty dealing with concessions pend.
ing the outcome of the direct negotia-
tons in Constantinople between the
concession holders and the Ottoman
government These direct converca-
tions which will open next week are
expected to embrace the Frnch claim
that tn concession recently granted to
the American syndicate headed by
Rear Admiral Chester conflicts with
previous concessions held by French
companies.
The decision of the conference to-
day confirms the impression that
earnest efforts would be made to keep
any conflict between American and
French interests outside the confer
ence. The allies practically dclard
truce on all the concession problems
but warned the Turks that it was
merely truce and that the matter
would be thoroughly discussed at
Lausanne If the Constantinople con-
versations failed.
