ITALY'S ACTIVITY
ALARMS FRANCE
Building of Naval Tonnage
May Result in Race
for Supremacy.

PARIS, France, May 1.-Ttaly's sud
den decision following the London
Naval Conference to lay down imme-
diately 10000 tons of new ships, in
Guiding one 8-inch gun cruiser, two g.
inch gun cruisers, four destroyers and
"a submarines, came as surprise here.
News of the step, learned today through
press dispatches, caused a sensation In
French naval and governmental circles.
The French government, it is said,
will examine the situation within the
next few days. A decision will then
be taken regarding Frances 1881 con-
struction program. A bill, in conse-
quence, should be ready to submit to
the Legislature in June or July.
Lapse Of Agreement Seen.
It will be recalled that France at the
London Conference agreed to hold down
its annual naval constructions to $4,000
tons, provided Italy did not exceed
$4,000 tons a year. In view OF 1talys
action, this agreement, 1t Is said now,
Immediately lapses.
There is no indication up to the pres
ent that France in any sense has aban-
doned its determination to maintain q
three-two ratio viS-a-vis Italy. Indica-
tions are that even before the London
treaty is ratified Great Britain, as o
result of the French and Italian naval
competition, will be faced with q di-
lemma and either win have to abandon
the two-power standard vis-a-vis the
continental powers on which It insisted
20 energetically during the conference,
or to utilize the so-called escape clause
In the treaty and notify the other sig
natories that she will be obliged to ex-
coed the treaty figures In certain re-
spects.
France is laying down this year her
seventh eight-inch gun cruiser. But
as italy also is now about to lay down
her seventh and as France intends to
keep ahead of Italy, France is likely
to decide to begin the eighth next year.
Would Exceed British Total.
If italy, as she threatens, then also
authorizes her eighth, the combined
force of France and Italy In this type
of ship will be Is to Great Britain's Is.
and eighth of the new type of six-inch-
gun cruisers, France, too, will doubtless
make a fresh effort in this type.
The French ministry of the marine,
on the other hand. appears not to be
much interested in Italy's proposed %
new submarines. It Is thought, how
ever, that Great Britain will be greatly
interested in them and will possibly
even be obliged to reconsider the Lon
don treaty destroyer figures in conse-
Quence.
