Following is the text of communi-
cations exchanged by the United
States. Great Britain and France on
the battleship question:
Note of the United States.
With reference to article IS of the
navy treaty signed in London on
March 25, 1896. I have the honor to
notify your excellency, in accordance
with paragraph CD of that article.
that the Government of the United
States of America finds it necessary
to exercise the right Of oscillation re-
served in paragraph GD and of ef-
fecting departure from the limita-
tions and restrictions of the treaty.
The proposed departure relates to
the upper limits of capital ships Of
subcategory (A) and to the caliber
Of. guns which may be mounted on
capital ships of subcategory (A).
The above action is motivated by
the fact that upon the receipt Of
reports to the effect that Japan is
constructing or has authorized the
construction of capital ships of a
tonnage and armament not in con-
formity with the limitations and re-
strictions of the treaty, the Govern
ment Of the United States addressed
an inquiry to the japanese govern
ment, and the Japanese government
did not choose to furnish information
with regard to its present naval con-
struction or its plans for future con-
struction.
The British Note.
With reference to article Is of the
naval treaty signed in London on
the 25th March, 1886, I have the
honor, in accordance with paragraph
(2) of that article, to notify your ex-
cellency that his majesty's govern
ment in the United Kingdom find it
necessary to exercise the right re-
served in paragraph Cd of effecting
departure from the limitations and
restrictions of the treaty.
The proposed departure relates to
the upper limits of capital ships of
subcategory (A). The precise extent
of the departure will depend on the
result of consultations provided for
in paragraph 80 of article Is.
The reasons for the above proposed
departure consist in the reports re-
ceived by his majesty's government
to the effect that Japan is construct
ing or has authorized the construc-
ton of capital ships Of tonnage
not in conformity with the limita-
tions and restrictions Of the treaty.
In view of the refusal of the japanese
government, on being formally ap-
preached, to give assurances that
these reports are i'll founded his
majestys government have no al
tentative but to regard them as being
substantially correct.
The French Note.
The government of the French Re-
public has examined with the great
est care the communication through
which the Government of the United
States has been good enough under
date of March 81 to notify its in
tention of departing from the upper
limits which the London naval treaty,
1886, had fixed for capital ships in
subcategory (A).
The government of the republic
has taken due note of the reasons
which have led the American Gov
ernment as we'll as the British gov

U. S. and British Junking
of Limitations Hit by
Appropriations Fee.
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
Congressional foes OF big Navy
asserted today that invocation by the
United States and Great Britain of
the "escalator" clause in the London
naval treaty would bring almost un-
limited world naval building.
Its just the preliminary announce
ment of a worldwide naval race" de-
clared Senator Clark, Democrat, of
Missouri, consistent opponent of large
naval appropriations.
Britain and the United States ad-
vised each other in notes made public
last night that they would disregard
the London treaty's limitation of 35,-
600 tons on the size of battleships.
Both based their action on the re-
fusal Of Japan to disclose whether she
intends construction OF larger vessels.
The japanese had been reported build
ing a 42,000ton battleship.
Escape" Clause.
The treaty contained an escape"
clause whereby signatories might re-
nounce any obligation to stay within
the 35,000-ton limit If another nation
built larger ships.
France, third signatory to the treaty,
announced she would continue to ad-
here to the 35O0O-ton limitation 80
long as no continental power departs
from that standard" presumably refer
ring to Germany and Italy.
Informed officials said that the NAVY
might begin drafting specifications for
superdreadnaught within the next
few weeks. but that it probably would
be at least five years before such a
craft could be completed. The cost
OF a 42,000-ton battleship has been
estimated from 100000 900 to $780,
100000.
Nicaraguan Project.
Senator Clark brought the proposed
Nicaraguan canal project, advocated
sporadically in Congress for many
years, into his discussion of the United
States action.
If We build these large battleships, 4"
he said, I'VE won't be able to get them
through the Panama Canal. That
means that We'll have to spend bill
lion dollars building a canal through
Nicaragua and another billion to make
the Panama Canal a sea-level route"
Senator Clark, chairman of the
Senate 1nteroceanic Canals Commit
tee. said administration leaders had
discussed such proposals with him.
Chairman Walsh, Democrat, of Mas
sachuSettS, of the Senate Naval Affairs
Committee, said: Il approve of the
position and policy taken in this mat
ter. If we are to expand our Navy we
want to build the biggest and best
naval craft that science can develop"
Senator Walsh's committee will be-
gin secret hearings on the 81 100, ,0OO,-
600 naval expansion bill Monday. Sec
retary of State Hull and Admiral Will
liam D. Leahy, chief of naval opera
tions, are to be among the first wit

John Bull moored his ship of

into the uncharted sea of philo-
logical experimentation.
An American note spoke of ex-
ercising the right of "escalation"
that is, of building bigger bat

having found there is no such

Oficials who have inspected the premises
recoiled at the thought Of putting chill
dren there. The recreation yard at the
present Receiving Home on Potomac
avenue Sc. is bad enough, they de-
clared, without making matters worse.
In the third place, there is serious
and well-founded objection to housing
delinquent women and problem" chill
dren under the same roof. Many Of
the women brought to the House Of De-
tention are noisy and disorderly drunks.
Many Of the children who find haven in
the Receiving Home are innocent victims
Of domestic tragedies or are lost from
their homes. 1t would be difficult task
to keep these groups entirely separate in
building not specially designed to care
for them.
1t is not too late for Congress to re-
consider the merger proposal, at least to
the extent of appropriating an adequate
sum for remodeling the ancient build.
ing. 1t would be humanitarian service
If, at the same time, provision were
made for careful study of the whole
3roblem Of housing women and children
who come into the custody of police in

Detention House Plans.

Local welfare officials have good cause
to be indignant over the congressional
proposal to consolidate the Childrens
Receiving Home and the Women's Deten-
ton Home in the old Police Court build
ing at Sixth and D streets. The pending
District appropriation bill carries
$4,000 item for repair of the dilapidated
structure.
In the first place, $4,000 is a small
sum for a repair job Of such size. The
old court building is notoriously anti
quated. It's plumbing is inadequate and
out of date, its ventilating and lighting
facilities are poor and it has no elevators.
The municipal architect is said to have
estimated that minimum of $4,000
would be required to remodel the struc-
ture for detention purposes.
In the second place, even if the build
ing were properly made over, there would
still be lacking an essential adjunct to
any modern detention home for women
or children, yard where inmates may
exercise in fresh air and sunshine. The
only outside area available for recreation
at the former court building Is q small
concrete yard, with high brick walls.

Austria's Habsburg House
Is No Longer in Existence

To the Editor of The Star:
May point out an error in the reply
to the query, What became of the
Austrian Habsburg family?" in the de-
partment conducted by Frederic j. Has
Kin, IN The Star of Saturday, March 26?
The answer to the question stated that
the late Emperor Franz Josef "had only
one son, Ralph, who died childless." The
son was not named Ralph, but Rudolf,
and, furthermore, he did not die child
less but by his wife, Stephanie Of Bel
GUM, he had daughter, Elisabeth, who
in 1902 became the wife of Prince Otto
Won Windischgraetz. Their marriage was
dissolved in 1924.
1t should be observed that in reality
the House of Habsburg is no longer in
existence. Arising from a line of petty
Swiss counts whose genealogy can be
traced from the 10th century to the rule
of vast and far flung territories which
extended from Europe to the Americas
and Asia, the Spanish branch of the
house died out in 1700 in the person of
King Carlos II. The Austrian branch
survived only 40 years longer, when the
last male Habsburg, the Holy Roman
Emperor or Karl vi, was succeeded by
his daughter, Maria Theresa, whose hus-
band, Duke Franz Stephen of Lorraine,
Grand Duke of Tuscany, subsequently
became the Emperor Franz I.
The present representatives of the I'M
perial house are therefore not members
of the Habsburg family, but of the Lor-
raine family. The names have been
combined, however, to form the House of
Habsburg- Lorraine.

Bread Prices Different
In District and Virginia

To the Editor OF The Star:
During the testimony of Mr.. Charles
j. Beck, Virginia baker, before the
Senate committee investigating monop-
oily, and the O'Mahony- -Borah bill for
licensing corporations, on March "a, the
fact was brought out that the citizens of
Washington are receiving a 16-ounce loaf
OF bread for 8 cents while the citizens
OF Virginia are receiving a 20-ounce loaf
OF bread for the same price
While 1t was Mr.. Beck's contention
that this extra 4 ounces of bread was
given in Virginia as competitive propo-
sit1on solely, it is at least possible that
= in the minds of the chain baking organi-
cations serving both the District of Co.
lumbia and the State of Virginia the
proper size loaf for all purchases is the
20-ounce loaf
1t was brought out in the hearing, to
which have referred herein, that the
Washington bakers were producing both
sizes Of loaves in their Washington bake
rles. selling the small 1e-ounce loaf for
sc in the District of Columbia and the
large 20-ounce loaf for 9 cents in the
State Of Virginia, after hauling it q
round-trip distance of nearly 200 miles.
