Nobody in Washington understands
why the VinSon- Trammell bill which
authorizes but does not appropriate
the necessary funds for an American
treaty navy" should have caused so
much excitement abroad. That it has
worried the japanese is understand
able, but nobody can see why it is
worrying the British. And the fact is
that there is at present an outcry
in Great Britain for a bigger navy.
Public opinion is being worked up to
demand from the government the use
of the so-called "escalator clause" in
the London naval agreement, which
provides that Great Britain can give
notice that it into Is to increase its
naval ratio if the government of that
country considers that the British
navy is placed at disadvantage.
AS a matter of fact the British gov
ernment is not seriously worried about
this alleged naval armament race.
First of all. with the money which
it no longer intends to pay on the
war debt to this country. it can easily
build more warships. On the other
hand, the forthcoming renewal of an
entente with France will place at the
disposal of Great Britain, in case of
trouble, the large and efficient sub
marine force of the French and the
up-to-date cruisers and destroyers
which the French government has
been building for the last few years.
The two fleets together will form the
most formidable naval combination,
stronger than any other possible COM
bination in the world

Mai. Franco, the famous Spanish
aviator and the stormy petrol of Span
ish politics, is reported to have been
assigned as air attache in Washington.
There are few aviators who have had
such a thrilling career as Franco.
Some years ago, while King Alfonso
still ruled Spain, he made a spectac-
ular hop from Spain to South Amer
lea, and covered himself with glory.
When he returned to Spain he was
received by the people and the gov
ernment as hero.
But Franco ,Dds born reUolu-
tionaru He did not like King Al
tonso nor his government. A teD
tueeks after his return, he joined
the revolutionary nloUenlent led by
Lerour and found many followers
amono the Spanish aUiators. But
Franco, an in5iuidualist, tOds thirst.
ing for glory. Instead OF falling
into steps tDith the central COM
mittee, he decided to percipitdte
the outbreak, and, Without Wdrn-
inc his leaders, he started rebel
lion in his otUn aviation camp, fe1o
ouer Madrid dropping revolutionary
pamphlets, and the Increment
Jailed.
Franco escaped to Holland, where
he remained until April, 1881, when
the revolution broke out in Spain, the
King was overthrown and Leroux took
over the reins of the government
Naturally Franco returned, but he was
not permitted to play the important
role he thought himself entitled to.
Again he was discontentedd and be-
gan to f1irt with the more extreme
elements among the revolutionists.
He was looked upon with suspicion by
the government and, in danger of be-
ing arrested he took flight to Por-
tugal, then to other more hospitable
countries.
Lately, however, the government
recalled him, gave him deserved
promotion and, because it was thought
he was safer away from the country
he was intrusted with special mis-
sion to Mexico and finally appointed
air attache in the sedate Capital of
the United States.

BY STAFF Correspondent of The Star.
MOUNT RAINIER, Md, April 19-
Efforts to form a new post of the
American Legion in this vicinity we're
launched last night when 35 men
signed a petition for a charter and
elected John S. White, Colmar Manor
attorney, temporary commander.
The new post will be named for
Frank J. Hunteman, Mount Rainier

A second meeting will be held on
May in the town hall. The names
of veterans who want to join the post
will be placed on the petition at that
time, and all signers will become the
charter members of the post.
While intended primarily for ex-
service men in Mount Rainier, Brent
wood, Cottage City and Colmar Manor,
all veterans of the World War are
invited to join. Those planning to
do so are asked to communicate at
once with White or Chief of Police
Eugene Plumer or Town Officer

The effect Of these Oriental trees
when in blossom around the Tidal
Basin, with the Lincoln Memorial
10 the west. the Washington Mon
ument to the east and a beautiful
vista with the dome Of the Capitol
in the distance, Is beyond deScrip-
tion. The many pictures which
have been painted and the photo
graphs taken of these inspiring
scenes do not exaggerate their
beauty nor express the admiration
and JOY of the many who wander
beneath the spreading boughs or
sit dreaming in the sunshine with
the falling petals fluttering in the
Spring breeze.
The Japanese cherry trees in
Potomac Park have gained through
the United States as much fame
and are as well known as those
OF Japan itself. Although the
Potomac Park trees may lack some
OF the romance and old legends
thAt flutter about those of Old
Nippon, they give delight and
cheer not only to the people Of
Washington, but to hundreds of
thousands of visitors who come
annually to view their short-lived
loveliness and revel in their beauty
and fragrance.

Attention.
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN

TINE limitation of arms problem
has become like a billiard
game. The Japanese govern
L ment competes in naval con-
struction plans with the United
States, and it is Great Britain which
feels it must increase its navy. The
French and the Germans are at log
gerheads over the size of Germany's
land armies and equipment, and it
Is Switzerland and the Scandinavian
states which feel compelled to increase
their own armaments, and SO on.

The japanese are following the
footsteps of pre-war Germany in the
field of economic penetration. After
having launched a powerful sales
campaign in Central and South Amer
lea, and after having succeeded in
worrying the British In their own ex-
elusive fed in India, they are now
competing with the Soviets in Turkey.
Japan is making a supreme bid
to capture the Turkish markets
and has proposed a scheme TAR
more attractive than any hitherto
offered to the Turkish republic. A
syndicate composed OF the great Nit
sui combine and the Egypto-Japa-
nese Trading Corporation has offered
the Turkish government long-term
credits for the purchase in Japan
of all the machinery and plant
required, at much lo,per price
than any Western po1Der could OF
fer. 1t is interesting to note that
,phile before the war Japan had
diplomatic missions only in the
most important European capitals
and none east OF Vienna, there are
Jupanese embassies and legations
in almost every small capital in
Central and Southeastern Europe,
as ueH as in the Balkans.

The British, usually so sure of
