Miss Gipson and a friend,

new limitations might be drawn,
in which case Uncle Sam would
not, as before, be forced to scrap
new ships in the process of con-
struction. America, in that
event, could destroy only blue
prints, as did other powers fol
lowing the last conference, while
Japan and Great Britain would
lose actual tonnage.
Possibility OF War
There is another point on which
naval specialists touch, but only
lightly-that Uncle Sam is gam
bling against the probability OF
war before 1912.
Actually, the United States fleet
will be but few thousand tons
below it's permitted strength on
completion of ships which have
been laid down and which will be
completed in 1867. However
of the 358 vessels now comprising
the fleet, 273 are over age and
therefore, in the eyes of the Navy
Department, would be Intellectual
in battle.
The oldest of this average
group will be replaced by new
ships during the coming seven
year building program. Twenty
four will be laid down next year

WILL GIVE j. {.
ADVANTAGE Of
MODERN|TY
Vessels Built Near End of
Treaty Period Will Have
Edge on Other Powers

The American Nays shipbuild-
ing program. which is to give the
United States a treaty strength
fleet in 1912, is being purposely
stretched" to that year to give
this nation an advantage over
other naval powers in fleet mo-
dernity.
That was the observation Of
military strategists, and the in
timation in official naval and
congressional quarters today as
speculation arose over a recent
statement by Secretary of Navy
Claude A Swanson that, if neces-
sary, the United States building
program could easily be speeded to
turn out the new ships by 1889.
Experts Views
Those who venture comment on
the situation, but not for quota
ton, make these observations:
l. Japan, under present con-
struction schedules, will have
her treaty navy late in 1895:
Great Britain hers in 1887,
with the exception Of a few sub
marines and destroyers. There
fore, with the United States
building schedule not COM
pleted until 1912, the American
ships will be newer by several
years than those of either japan
or Great Britain.
2. The American program Is
being carried out by easy yearly
stages so that new developments
in sea warfare may be incorpor-
ated in the new ships.
3. There is slight possibility
of another arms conference in
the immediate offing at which
