Recklinghausen. March 11-(By
p>-Two Trenchmen, one an Of
scer and the other a civilian rail-
-oad man, were assassinated last
night in the streets of the mining
town of Buer, near Recklinghausen.
Each body, when found. had five
bullet wounds in it. One Of the
victims was Lieutenant Collin. of
the Chausseurs. and the other NJ.
Joly. chef of the Buer railroad sta
ton.
Unrest and discomfort among the
population of the Recklinghausen
district has been smouldering for
several days. and last nights shoot
ings are considered in French quart
ers to have been in consequence OF
this. Today feeling was running
high on both sides. The staying of
the Frenchmen is considered the
most serious affair since the occu-
patton Of the region began.
General Laingelot, commanding
the district, ordered the arrest of
the burgomaster of Buer, the assist
ant burgomaster. the chef of police
and two other town officials. All of
them being held by the French as
hostages.
The French authorities asserted
today that penalty of at least 1O0,-
$4,000 marks would be imposed
upon the town of Buer; that all the
cafes. moving picture shows and
ether public places would be closed.
and that German civilians will not
be permitted in the streets after
seven o'clock in the evening until
the excitement subsidies. No trace
has been found OF the slayers of the
two Frenchmen.
Indications of renewed active re-
sistance among German individuals
were reported by the French intelli-
gence officers during the past week.
Several German secret organizations
with headquarters here are said to
have been formed to oppose the
French in every way possible. One
Of these is known as the young
Germans" Several of it's leaders
have been arrested. Most of the
members of the organization are
declared by the French to be young
miners or factory workers.

washington. March 11-Serious
deficiencies Of the United States
Navy under the 5-5-3 ratio adopted
by the Washington arms conference
will be called to the attention of the
6Sth Congress as soon as it con-
venes. it was learned officially today
at the Navy department.
An expert survey OF the interna-
tional naval situation showing the
American sea power to be between
100000 and 100000 tons short Of its
proper standing under the conference
agreement has given impetus to the
work already under way on the pro-
gram. Secretary DENLY is expected to
submit, covering both ships and per-
sCnnel.
With official opinion practically
unanimous that the most pressing
need of the navy is for modern scout
draft, it was predicted that imme-
date authorization would be urged
for fast cruisers and submarines with
additional tonnage of these types TO
be added annually for a definite per-
iod of years.
High naval officials have suggested
that the immediate program" COM
prise at least eight modern cruisers
to supplement the ten Of the Detroit
class now under construction. three
scout and three fleet submarines Of
$500 tons and three mine laying sub
marines.
At least two nirplane carriers Of
the Langley type in addition to those
already under way, also are included
among the fleet units deemed imme-
djately necessary.
Second only in importance to the
need for auXililaries, in the opinion
of officials. is that for adequate per-
sonnet. This was brought home for
chilly. it was said. in the gathering
OF the bottle feet for maneuvers
when it was found necessary to Or
der all the apprentice classes from
their schools to the ships in order
that the vessels might be efficiently
handled.
The apprentice courses were only
three -fourths completed. when the
students We're taken from their
studies. 8
Estimates of the deficiency Of per-
sonnet under the present $4,000 aua
thorization ran between IL and 20 per
cent with most officials holding the
view that about 10S.000 officers and
men will be required to bring the
fleet to the most efficient standard.
The naval programs of the other
parties to the $3.50 ratio will make
the deficiencies of the American navy
more pronounced if action to correct
them is delayed, according to Off
GERS who have analysed information
recently acquired on this subject.
Great Britain lists Sc modern cruis-
ers built and building, aggregating
296.00 0tons. Japan 25 Of $4,000 tons
and the United States 10 of $4,000
tons-of which three are for deliv-
cry at comparatively early dates.
Naval officials generally are Of the
opinion that the modernization OF
the capital ships. authorized by the
last Congress. will place the first-line
ships on n parity with any In the
world and are prepared to roncen-
trate their efforts on the building up
Of the auxiliary forces.
