100000 SOUGHT
FOR HUGE A|RSH|P
Fight on Navy Bill Launched
by Plea for Funds to
Start Work.

BY the Associated Press.
The first attack on the naval appro-
priation bill, in which is involved the
dispute over the fitness of the Ameri-
can Navy, was made in the House
today with an effort to have Congress
direct construction of one of the two
dirigibles already authorized.
PROPOSING appropriation of $4,000
for initial work on the airship, which
would be three times the size of the
lost Shenandoah. Representative
Begg, Republican, Ohio, declared it
would be Shameful to delay dirigible
construction until foreign nations
have completed their experiments. +"
/ Asked by Representative Wefald.
Farmer Labor, Minnesota. if the
President favored the dirigible, Begg
quoted Mr.. Coolidge az having said in
September, 1925, that the Shenandoah
must be replaced by another great
airship."
An amendment-reefed course faced
leaders guiding the bill in accordance
with the Presidents injunction that
no additional appropriations be au-
thorized and thus keep within the
! budget recommendations
In his note yesterday to Representa-
tive French, Republican, Idaho in
charge of the measure. Mr.. Coolidge
expressly warned against providing
funds for construction of three cruisers
authorized in 1924, but House leaders
| today were not certain they could
| muster sufficient strength to defeat
amendments to appropriate the
money.
100000 for Plans.
A prospective amendment, in prin.
ciple in accord with the President s
wishes, but technically at variance
and designed as compromise which
| it's sponsor hoped would be agreeable
| to both groups, loomed as the focal
point as the battle resumed today. The
amendment, suggested by Representa-
tive Tilson, the Republican leader,
would appropriate a nominal sum,
possibly 100000. with which the
Navy could draw plans for the three
cruisers and thus prevent lapse on
next July l of congressional authority
to build them.
Mr.. Tilson. who discussed the mat
ter with the President, said the Execu
tive was not opposed to the change sc
long as it did not disturb the budget
total. He pointed out that to win the
complete approval of Mr.. Coolidge 1t
would be necessary to make reduc'
ton somewhere in the Navy bill equal
to the amount to be provided for the
cruiser plans.
Wants More Submarines.
That the compromise is not accept
able to big Navy men was indicated
in the announced intention of Repre-
sentative Britten, Republican, Illinois,
member of the naval committee, to
offer an amendment to appropriate
nearly $4,000. 900 for actual construc'
ton of the ships. Although confident
that his own amendmant would be
adopted, Britten declared acceptance
of the compromise provision would
constitute a victory for the Navy bloc
and "rout of the administration"
Representative Black, Democrat
New York. who said the Tilson pro
posal would satisfy President Cool
| idge who wants paper cruisers also
fostered an amendment which would
upset the budget. He declared the
| Navy submarine fleet now is three
short of it's 1916 authorized strength
and he proposed to ask for money tC
! build them.

MESSAGES ON POISON
RUM FLOOD OFFICERS
Treasury Planning Formal Reply
to Be Sent to All Cor
respondents.


Messages protesting and approving
the denaturing of industrial alcohol
with poison ingredients are flooding
the Treasury, and formal statement
to be used in reply to all is being
prepared.
The answer, it is understood, will
reiterate the view Of Secretary Mellon
that wood alcohol should be eliminated
as a denaturant when a proper sub
stitute Is discovered.
In regard to the Senate's request
for any correspondence received from
Wayne B. Wheeler Of the Anti-SalOon
League relating to use Of wood alco-
hol as a denaturant. it was said today
at the Treasury that APPARENTLY there
was no such correspondence.
Assistant Secretary Andrews, chief
of the Prohibition Service, is prepar-
ing the statement, and he is seeking
all the records in connection with re-
cent deaths on account OF drinking,
which, it is believed by the Treasury,
will show that wood alcohol was not
factor.

WAR BABIES ARE MUCH HANDICAPPED
Horrors and Tragedies Reflected
 in Children

London, Limited Press)-The hor- TOTS and tragedies of war have been visited on the children born during that period and school results suf- fer in consequence, according to R B. Wight, headmaster of Noting ham Mundella Secondary school. Tn an address at the annual distribu- tion of prizes he said:
 Children born during the wal anI in the years immediately fol lowing it are suffering from enor- nous physical and mental handi- caps. They are handicapped by an inertia due to the hard~hips of war time, which reflects itself in their intelligence and general application to work"
 The headmaster said that a great many war babies had "C-3 brains. C-3 is British service rating wherein men are physically unfit for the army and navy except in the case of extreme emergency.
 The present school entrants are below the standard of previous years" Wight said. Not until 1881 will the standard become normal. The 1925-26 admissions were of children born in 1914-15. Broken homes, shortage of food and half-tme in the schools are Tea sons for the inertia from which the children of today are suffering. IL is not lazy -mindedness, it is an af- fiction"
