Americans Beat Dutch
 In Appreciating Guiana

AMSTERDAM, March 2.-That Am ericans seem to take far more inter- est in Dutch Guiana than do the peo- ple at home was the plaint of Baron 4. J. Van HeemStra, Dutch governor of Surinam, who has been spending a business vacation in the mother land.
 To an interviewer the governor mentioned the activities of strong American exploration syndicates, whose experts passed through Para maribo last month and who are now prospecting for gold in the interior of the colony.
 German industrial firms, the gov ernor added, also have shown great eagerness in taking up various de velopment propositions, but curiously ly enough the Dutch themselves are not coming forward very readily, eX- cept for a proposal to erect a sugar refinery in the colony.

EDITOR SPARES HIS READERS
 REMINDERS OF THE GRAVE

LONDON, March 2.-In an endea- vor to brighten his parish magazine the Rev. Cyril R. Brown, Vicar of Littleover, Derby, has banished un- dertakers' advertisements from it's pages.
 While undertakers are excellent fellows in themselves" Dr. Brown writes in the publication, i've do not wish to be reminded of them, and when three such firms blandish us in one magazine, it is in danger of becoming the most depressing of journals. I would rather think about living, and I wish the undertakers would join the doctors and dentists in refraining from advertisements

Britons Eager to Try New
 Pipes Now Puff Corncobs

LONDON, March 2-The cheapest pipe on sale today in London, the city which has perhaps two CT three times as many pipe smokers as any other city in the world, is the old fashioned corncob pipe from Missouri. The cOrncob pipe here retails at i to 6 cents each, but even at that can scarcely be considered as having made any noticeable inroads upon the British pipe industry.
 In fact, it may be said that the corncob pipe is considered more of a freak than anything else and is bought chiefly by Americans, as a reminder of the old corncob days back home, and by few Britons who have lived at intervals in the west Ol middle west when corncobs were ir their prime.
 Pipe dealers say here that the corr cob will never become really popu lar in London, despite the low cost because of the fact that it does no last any length of time. The Eng lishman is always eager to try new pipe, say the dealers, but he prefers hardwood ones, and in buying new pipe endeavors to get one Whicl will last a year or two, or longer Premier Baldwin, the best knowl pipe smoker that this country ha produced has smoked one pipe il particular, almost daily, during thu last seven or eight years.

A shake-up in the Federal Pro-

director, Roy A. Haynes, being
succeeded by more vigorous

today as a part of the general

Whether Haynes will actually be
ousted or not remains to be seen,
but it did become definitely known
that President Coolidge is not

SENATE Asked
To INCREASE
NAVY
Additional Appropriation for
EIevating Battleship Guns
Also Is Urged
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON,
international News Service.

A drive to restore the American
navy to a 5-5-3 ratio with England
and japan was opened on the
floor Of the Senate today when
debate was resumed on the
$2s7, 100000 naval appropriation
bill.
A group of bigger navy" SEN
ators sought to force the adoption
of an amendment to the bill pro-
viding $6,5OO,O00 for the elevation
Of guns aboard capital ships in the
American navy. The amendment
was opposed by Administration
forces because of President Cool
idge's protest against any in
crease in naval armament.
McKellar Fights For It.
Senator Mcclellan. Democrat of
Tennessee, author Of the proposal,
declared it's passage would place
the American first line of defense"
on an equality with the British
navy. 1t would increase the firing
range of the navy's greatest battle
ships. Mcclellan said, about five
miles, enabling them to success
fully engage any warship afloat
The amendment would apply to
thirteen out Of the eighteen exist
ing capital ships.
THE American navy, while rating
a poor second to the British navy,
has thirteen vessels outclassed by
both Japanese and British war
ships" said Mcclellan I'm actual

NIT an increase Of from three to

Senator Gerry, Democrat of Rhode
Island, also endorsed the amend
ment.

the United States and Great Britain
would make for world peace" Gerry
said. I'VE should make onr nav,

Against Amendment.
senator tale tRep) of Maine,
chairman of the Senate Naval Affairs
Committee, opposed the amendment,
with other administration leaders.
The president Is opposed to the
gun elevation and to any other move
that might provoke a new armament
race, said Hale. THE navy has not
asked for the appropriation and I
don't think it will be adopted"
Senator King Dem.D of Utah also
opposed the move. He said it would
be a violation of the disarmament
treaty.
The naval bill, as presented to the
Senate, carried only $7,440.O for
increase of the navy" 1t would
provide for the construction of TWO
new fleet submarines Of the latest
type, for the conversion of two battle
ships into airplane carriers and to
install new fire control apparatus
aboard the dreadnaughts Colorado
and West Virginia. Besides this
work. there was no new construction
authorized in the bill.
