BUILDERS Sc 7
TO BEGIN ON
WARSHIPS
Britain to Lay KeeIs
For Two Vessels
Tomorrow
By KINGsBURY SMITH

LONDON, Dec. 81 G.N.S).
Thunder Of guns in Spain, and
the rattle of riveters in shipyards
and the roar Of forges in muni-
tions plants as nations made
ready for the next war" were
the worlds farewell to the old
year. Expiration Of the Washing
ton and London naval treaties at
midnight will loosen sea powers
from their only limitations on
size Of navies, and with Britain
leading off, seven nations by the
dawn of January 1 will be off on
what may be history's greatest
naval race.
Brittania had a head start, for
the materials and machinery for
the two battleships whose keels
are to be laid down tomorrow
have been in process Of assembly
for months.
With no new treaties IN sight,
the only limits on navies now are
the size of national treasures
and the United States is the only
country that can, without serious
financial dislocation, fulfill its de-
termination to keep on at least a
par with Britain and tWo-fltthS
ahead Of Japan.
Increasing Armies
At the same time nations OF the
Old World are piling up arms ana
constantly increasing their con-
script armies.
The first battleships that Brit
ain has started since 1922, the
King George v and the Prince OF
wales, great $4,000 tonners capa-
ble of 80 knots, will be ready with
in less than three years, due to ad-
vance preparation. Each will cost
more than $35, 100000. Fourteen
inch guns will bristle above their
heavy armor-even though the
United States leans toward 16-lnch
guns.
Britain will build more battle
ships later in the year, until she
has total of 20 capital ships, and
she is also laying down keels OF
seven cruisers, two aircraft crulS-
ers, IS deStroyers and eight sub
marines.
Keeping Old Vessels
In addition, Britain is keeping
10000 tons of over-age destroyers
while Japan and the United States
are matching these in destroyerS
and submarines.
Termination of the treaty finds
Britain leading in naval tonnage
with 100000 tons. The United
States, second, has 100000 tons
and Japan, third, 100000 tons.
Only President Roosevelt's word
is awaited for start of work on
two American battleshipS to
match Britain'S.

of $50 loyalists as the Madrilenos'
assaults were hurled back, said the
insurgents.
In the face Of a reported Ger
man warning, and increase Of the
German naval forces off Bilbao,
meanwhile, the Basque authorities
today Sternly refused the Reich'S
demand that the cargo of the
steamer Palos be given up.
The Basque Governor Aguirre
forwarded a copy of the demands
of the captain of the Koenigsberg
and Aguirre's rejection to the
non-intervention committee in
London.
The Palos itself was released
three days ago, but the. captain Of
the Koenigsberg warned that the
Basques must give us its cargo "or

stated here.
The 6,OO0-ton Koenigsberg has

 I suring wave. Then it huniIned along without 6 break. Strange thought Tony; ought to be nearly to Lake Winnemacki by now. But there was nothing. Nothing but the world of snowflakes, the dullins roar of the motor, and the cold. Sometimes the driving snow would completely obscure the ground and they would be alone. Then Q bleJt would clear the air and the dark pine woods below would stand out of the white blankets that was the earth.
 A smooth, unbroken whiteness ahead told hiin 1t was c large lake. But to recognize it7 Tony put the planes nose down and skinned closer to the lakes surface than c more experienced pilot might have been willing to do. That point, ahead, jutting out into the lakel Wasn't that where they camped that time on the fishing trip? The plane zoomed close to the point and rounded the turn ct the end of the lake. Yes! That was 1t! The dead pine tree and the old fishing shack beside 1t. It was Lake Wif- nemacki, all rightl
 Up went the ship, the lake fading out into grayness, and headed north and west. From here on 1t was 6 case of trusting the course, his eyes, and his luck. He had never been 50 far north before.
 The flying snow was ct times 50 thick that nothing whatever could be seen. Then 1t would clear sud. denly, swept aside by c sudden change of air current, and the end- less woods and hills would again be visible. There was nothing to do but fly as near to 76 miles as he could guess, and then gWoop down for Q look, no matter ct what risk.
 Tony did It. By watch and gauge he made his guess, and made his swoop. No town. But there were traces of Q trail.road winding along Q creek through the hils. Tol- low 1t. Nothing else to do.
 Again c smooth white sheet with out trees told of c large frozen surface of water. Tony turned, ap- preached, and saw the clustered buildings of c town.

AS he neared the ground and leveled of, he saw snow.covered stumps in the field. but 1t was too late. With 8 Jounce, and 6 puff of powdery snow, the plane hit the fleid and careened crazily across 1t.
 Suddenly there was q grinding crash, the plane swung sharply around, lifted itself on one skid as # about to turn over, and stopped, with one wing crumpied and smashed.
 From Moosetown people came running. blowing heedIessly through the drifts, vita horror, hope and fear in tlselr hearts.

Then, You're not going to fusi about 1t, gre you, DadP" asked Tony.
 "No, son." Dr. Paul replied quiet- iy. pride and anxiety struggling for mastery. Then he turned to Sir Basil and said without changing tone, Good night, sir, and thank you very much indeed"
 Together father and son strode from the office, leaving Sir Basil behind his desk, mouth agnpe as if trying to utter words that would not shape themselves.
 Tn a moment their car was on it's way to the flying field. By 0 stroke Of luck, Greasy" McAndrew, a me- chanic who had often worked on Tony's plane, was lounging in the field office. Almost before he knew 1t he found himself in the hangar tuning up Tonys plane.
 spluttering and objecting, he had been persuaded to make the flight with Tony as mechanic. Soon he had the plane fueled. Tony stood by the cockpit. Father and son ex- changed Q firm, understanding handclasp.
 Be very careful, son." was oil Dr. Paul could say.
 T will, Dad" replied Tony, and climbed into the cockpit. At 6 sig nal. Greasy stood clear, the starter began to whine, the motor caught immediately, and the ship strained at the blocks as the snow whirled away beneath it in the slip.streafn.
 "det in, Greagyl" shouted Tony.
 Greasy hung back. But listen, Tony" he protested. I'm gonna be married Saturday."
 "We'il be back Saturday." shout- cd Tony.
 Protesting, grumbling, deasy climbed into his seat in the front cockpit. The blocks were loosened, the motor roared, and of across the field went the plane in 6 swirl of snow.
 Dr. Paul Lukes eyes were hun- gry aB they saw 1t lift from the field and slowly vanish in the bliz- gard.
 The city and the St. Lawrence fell away beneath the plane, ice- breaking streamers cubting black crevasses in the frozen river to keep traffic open. The sky was e world of snowfakes as the plane headed of to the rorthward.
