cruisers and certain modernized
equipment on board our capital
ships. Our mission is now to create
a balanced and adequate treaty
navy. We will undertake no build
ing plans in the unrestricted classes
which might be said to reopen naval
competition, but we must endeavor
to put ourselves on a parity with
the ratio allowed us.
! "Of course the prime reason for a
navy is d)'ense. Our navy is the
shield which prevents an enemy
from striking at oar vitals. 1t is
also the right arm Of the State De-
partment, visualizing and translatine
its policies into action.
"But as an aid to civilian progress
the navy also is tremendous factor
Andrew Carnegie once said that the
navy was responsible for the de-
velcpmeht of the vast steel industry
in this country
"The navy was the parent of the
terrific radio development of the
past few years. The first broadcast
ing was done by the navy from Ar
lington as long ago as 1905. The de-
velopment of radio has been in no
small part due to the constant ex-
perimentation of the avy.
Navy By-Products
"The same in aircraft. Army and
navy experimentation and develop
ments promise to be invaluable to
the development of aircraft for civil
liam uses. l look to the day when
aircraft will be tremendous COM
mercial asset, and the navy and army
more than any other agencies are
bringing that day forward. Along
the whole path of our progress, it is
astounding the number of milestones
that have been checked off by the
navy. While defense has been the
prime object, ths civilian by-produets
that have resulted from naval ex-
perimentation and study have in
themselves been worth our whole
naval expenditures!
"The lesson of Navy Day? It is
this: (,
"Our freedom, the safety of our
families, the institutions we prize,
all demand that we maintain a pro-
per deftnse.
"For the sake of our children and
their children's children we must
build up and then properly maintain
our treaty navy. 1t is my hope that
Navy Day will help spread the un-
derstanding of that need"

FRENCH ACCEPTANCE

Paris, Oct. 27.-The French gov
ernment has accepted the British pro-
posal for an examination into Ger
many's capacity to pay reparation. It
is regarded in diplomatic circles that
Premier Poincare has thus avoided
bad turning in Frances interna-
tionsl relations, for yesterday, when
the American note and Prime Minis
ter Baldwin's speech were published
here, he appeared to be beset on all
sids.
Defied by the German chancellor
in speech which was regarded as
presaging> prolongation and intensi-
fication of the troubles with the
reich, and summoned by his allied
associates to accept the principle Of
a conference which he had hitherto
steadily rejected, the French prem
ier seemed to have been isolatd, If
not cornerd.
His prompt acceptance of one of
the alternative proposals made by
the British prime minister clears the
atmosphere, and while nothing is ex-
pected by French officials to come
from a re-estimate of Germany's ca
pacity, France will have at least
avoided the appearance of hanging
back on proposal approved by the
American government.
Confusion on Reply
The first impression regarding M.
Poincare's reply was that it practi-
cally rejected Mr.. Baldwin's proposal,
since it limited the constitution Of
the examining commission by put
ting the nominations up to the rep
aration commission, which was ten
tamount to rejecting the idea Of q
conference of plenipotentiaries NAM
ed by the various governments.
When it transpired later that
there were alternative projects in
the British proposals, one for an in
conference Of plenipo-
tentiafies and the other for a COM
mittee to be named by the repara-
tion commission, it was seen that the
premier's reply constituted an ac-
ceptance. Z.
A high official of the foreign Of
flee tonight declared that M. Poin-
cares decision was largely influence
ed by the American approval of the
project. France, he added, was par
ticularly happy to welcome and faci-
litate all she could such participation
by the United States in>settlement
of the European tangle as the Amer
ican government saw fit to under
take.
1t is regarded as possible that the
Germans may decide to ask for q
hearing by the special commission of
experts instead of pursuing their re-
quest that they be heard by the in
terallied reparations commission.

Placards and posters with this

over our towns and cities-east,

it mean? Wasn't our whole navy

inquired, "Why is Navy Day? What
is it? What's the big idea behind

The acting secretary grlnned a

everybody to ask. Smoke cigaret

"Navy5 Day, he said, "is day set

public on the importance and needs
of the navy. 1t is a day'to eaten the
interest of citizens everywhere--in

along the coasts-on tn. subject Of
our naval development.
"Prior to the conference on naval
limitation, our naval programs were
always shaped by the tug of-war
between the big and the little navy
folks; between those who wanted US
to have incomparably the strongest
navy on earth and those who wanted
virtually no navy at all.
"The arms conference, for the first
time, gave US a definite mark at
which to aim. 1t committed us to
definite naval policy-that of a
navy equal to Great Britain's and 40
per cent larger than any other navy.
Navy Unbalanced
"At this time We have not got q
treaty navy. Our naval strength is
not balanced. We lack essential ele-
ments, including mine-laying sub

In the northwestern part of the
state hail insurance increased from
1921 to 1923 in Mountrail county
from 4,838 acres to 213,184 acres
and in Mckenzie county from 133.O30
to 163,777.

Slope. from 168,S10 to 137,701.

Among the counties in this section
showing an increase are: Dunn. 21s,-

109,158 to 223.133.
Through the central western part
OF the state. or territory between the
Jim and Missouri rivers, generally
classed as western North Dakota,
some of the counties showing de-
creases in acreage insured, between
1921 and 1923 follow: Burleigh. 1885,

They include: Cass, 2s9, lis to 12S.-

The decrease in the insured acre
age is reflected in the Situation the
State Hail Insurance Department
finds itself this year, for while the
total losses allowed in 1928 amount
to $4.66S,SSl, the total losses in
1921 exceeded this amount, being
$4.7ss.69S. The decrease in the busi-
ness done by the state depaftment-
insured acreage-has resulted In
pushing up the rats to the maximum
OF 90 cents, together with other
causes.
