BORAH DEMANDS
RODNEY Be SUNK
Alternative to U. S. Building
Another BattIeship for
Parity Is Urged.

Senator Borah, Republican, of Idaho,
called UPON Great Britain yesterday to
sink H. M. S. Rodney, the pride of the
British navy, as the alternative to the
United States building an additional
battleship to obtain parity in this class
OF vessels. Borah is chairman OF the
Senate committee on foreign relations
and Is urging naval reduction.
Senator Borah aSSailed the London
policy requiring expansion Of the Amer
lean Navy.
Attitude Menaces Treaty.
The expressions in the Senate were
regarded as distinctly menacing to any
treaty which may come out of the con-
ference for the SenateS ratification.
Already Chairman Hale of the Senate
naval committee, has warned of fight
II the present American program is put
through at London. He wants more
large cruisers and sees no necessity for
additional light cruisers.
What possible justification can there
be-" asked Senator Borah in his state
ment. for expending large sums OF
money in building more battleships-a
ship which some Of the brightest minds
in the naval world declare to be
obsolete?
wants Parity by Reduction.
IF parity can be had by reduction, I
am for parity. If it can only be had
by spending millions on the kind of a
ship which will never in all human
probability be used, then I feel no in
terest in parity.
Can any reasonable person contem-
plate the burden which all people are
now carrying on account of ornaments,
the weight now resting upon the tax
payers in every civilized country in the
world and then contemplate the useless
waste of money in the building of q
battleship in the name of parity?
Great Britain can we'll afford to
scrap battleShips and we can afford to
scrap battleships rather than afford to
build them. At any rate we ought not
to think of spending money on battle
ships simply for the purpose of having
parity. Scrap the Rodney, that will
settle the proposition"

The French tonnage figures as pre-
sented last night to the British are be-
lievtd to be virtually as follows:
Capital Ships-175 900 tons.
Aircraft carriers-60, 900 tons.
Eight-inch-gun cruisers-120,0 900 tons.
Small cruisers and destroyers-270, :
600 tore.
Submarines-126,000 tons.
Total-751 900 tons, as against the
Anglo American proposal of 1900, 900
tons each for the United States and
Great Britain and 722,000 tons for the
Japanese.
The French insist that their navy
bears no relation to the American or
British navy and see no reason why
they should change their long estab-
lished naval plans unless some new po-
littcal situation arises, for example, one
or two new pactS or understandings.
The British are now discussing ways
to get the French figures down, else
they will feel obliged to increase their
own figures in the Anglo-American
agreement.
The Italians claim the same total
! tonnage as France. France does not
openly refuse parity to italy, but de-
clares that each country must put down
what it intends to build each year. The
Italians refuse. saying that they will

REAL SCOTLAND YARD
 THRILLER DISSOLVED
Fiction Touch Added by Expert Who Deduces
 Many Things

Northampton, Eng, Nov. 1b lpt- One of those things for which Scot land Yard is famous in fiction has enlivened England's first torch murder" mystery. Sir Bernard Splls- bury, distinguished pathologlst, has reconstructed" the murder victim from a tiny wad of Charred cloth ing.
 The man was sturdily built, about s5 years old, with good teeth in a small mouth, and well dressed, the scientist deduced, but the police still have not the foggiest idea who the man was.
 He was killed and burned to death in an automobile on a lonely road near here on November C. But that is all the police know about II.
 The mystery woman without which d case like this is hardly com plete, made her debut today.
 An attorney who up to this point had taken no part in the lnVestisa- ton informed the police that he had been retained to represent the lh- terests of woman who might DC concerned in the case" He did not give her name
 When the crime was first disCoV- cred police found a woman's high heeled shoe in the blazing car, and assumed that it was a woman who had been killed. but Sir Bernard dispelled that theory with his lab oratory magic.

 He said that his plans call for no alteration in the number or type of he engines. The explanations were in answer to reports from England that he would replace the present 12 motors with eight 900 horse power British engines,
 Experts here believe that the diff ficulty the DO-X has been having is not so much with the motors as with the magnetos, a report which is lent some color by departure of an engineer of the firm which made the magnetos for Lisbon to be on hand when the seaplane reaches there.
