international News Service.

President Coolidge today or
dered Secretary Of the Navy Will
bur to institute a thorough survey
to determine the relative impor-
lance Of airplanes, battleships and
submarines in the first line Of the
national defense.
After an hours conference with
the President, Wilbur announced
that the desire of Mr.. Coolidge to
have this survey made at once was
the reason for his hurried re-
call from the Pacific coast.
Differences Adjusted.
It was indicated that peace, or at
least an armistice, had been effect.
ed between the President and the
Secretary Of the Navy. and that
any differences of opinion which
might have existed between them
had been adjusted for the present
and pending the forthcoming naval
inquiry.
Wilbur said that the President
made no reference during their con.
ference to his speeches ON the
Pacific coast dealing with the rela-
tons between the United States and
Japan or the need for greater ap-
preparations to keep the United
States navy from falling below the
standard set by the WASHINGTON
armament conference.

expressed the wish that the navy
would develop plans for putting
greater stress on the building and
maintenance OF air fleets than upon
battleships, which he points out
will have to scrapped in the end.
Secretary Wilbur said after the
conference that he still regarded
battleships as the backbone Of the
navy, but thought that airplanes
and airships should be built and
used as valuable adjunct to the
operations of the men-of.war.

fighting to hold unmolested theil
grip upon first place in the hot
test battle for the championship
witnessed in years.
Nine games must be played BY
both Griffmen and Yankees, and
the Griffs are in front by one

To win the pennant inside Of
nine games, the Yankees must
win two more games than the
Griffs. Bucky Harris and his
gang do not believe that it can
be done, not with the Griffs yet
