There were few dry eyes as the
mothers and wives of men who died
on French battlefields looked on the
sunny harbor where many Amer

ago.
France gave them a sympathetic
welcome and treasured them the
nation has not forgotten the sacri-

NAVY CHIEFS
CLASH over
SEA TREATY
Testimony of Officers in
Conflict With Report of
General Board.
JONES KEEP UP FIGHT
Senator Reeds Evidence
Makes Impression
on Committee.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, May 16.-Con-
troversy over the navy general
boards opinion of the London
naval pact developed today before
the senate foreign relations COM
mittee, when Senator Reed (Rep.,
Pa, conference delegate, pro-
duced secret report of the board
conflicting with testimony of naval
officers who oppose treaty.
After Rear Admiral Mark L.
Bristol had testified the general
board was opposed to the division
into 6 and 8-inch gun types and
had favored only 8-inch gun cruis-
ers, Reed produced a secret report
Of the board dated Sept. II.
In this report, which Reed said,
the board said twenty-one 8-inch
gun cruisers of 10000 tons, the ten
6-inch cruisers of $500 tons of the
Omaha class, and five additional
6-inch gun cruisers aggregating
315,500 tons would be acceptable as
cruiser parity with Great Britain.
Jones Stands Pat
Reed pointed out that the board
had asked $4,000 tons, while the
treaty gave the United States $685.
900 tons, although the twenty-one
ten thousand-ton cruisers were re-
duced to eighteen.
Rear Admiral Hilary P. Jones,
who appeared today before the SEN
ate naval affairs committee to re-
iterate his opposition to the treaty
was called before the foreign re-
lationS committee to discuss this
report, but contended that while
he had approved it, it was a re-
vcrsal of this country's previous
policy.
Reeds proof that the general
board had accepted the six-inch
gun division apparently impressed
the committee.
Bristol devoted a large part Of
his testimony today to Japan, de-
claring American interests required
maintenance Of the 60-100 ration
with Japan. The treaty gives
Japan a 70-100 ratio.
Would Protect Islands
The United States would be
forced to carry the war to Japan, in
case Of hostilities with that country
he said, and in this case, the United
States would be handicapped by the
lack of large cruisers. He admitted
this country would be safe from a
japanese attack, but said we would
lose the war.
Bristol also emphasized the neces-
sity of protecting the Philippines
pointing out that the islands, il
freed, would expect the United
States to protect them.
