CAPITAL WARY OF NAVY TRUCE WITH ENGLAND Lord Lee’s Statement of Readiness to Cut Forces Brings No Change. POLICY KEPT IN DARK WASHINGTON, March 17.—Announcement In London by the first lord of the British admiralty that Great Britain is not only ready, but anxious to reach a naval understanding with the United States was received with great interest In Washington. Lord Lee’s frank statement on England’s position, following as it did the reduction in England’s naval estimates for 1922, was regarded as highly significant. Already there is looming up a controversy over the naval policy to be followed by the new administration. In the two weeks be has been in office Secretary of the Navy Denby has indicated clearly In public utterances and conferences with his aids, that he is heartily in favor of an American Navy equal to any In the world which, in this ease, means England’s. He also has indicated clearly that he does not favor a reduction In the American Navy until It has reached that plane of equality. NO INDICATION FROM HARDING. President Harding has not given any public indication of his attitude in the matter since entering the White House, but presumably the views of the Secretary of the Navy are the reflection of his own. When Denby accepted the portfolio It was annoryiced tHat the President and Mr. Denby were “in full accord’’ on naval affairs and policies. In both House and Senate, however, there are determined groups which favor an immediate understanding among the powers for naval reduction and partial disarmament, regardless of the present relative standing. The cries against heavy taxation and for economy In governmental expenditure beat strongly on congressional ears. BORAH RESOLUTION TO COME UP AGAIN. Senator Borah’s resolution providing for a naval holiday for Great Britain, Japan and the United States, which failed In the Sixty-sixth Congress, is practically certain to be called up again in the sesBion next month. Naval experts believe the only basis of reduction to which Great Britain would agree would be a percentage or proportionate reduction. Thus if Great Britain had a naval force 20 per cent stronger than that of the United States she would itill have a navy 20 per cent stronger after both had agreed to cut their navies. As thus far disclosed the naval policy of the new administration is to avoid getting involved in any such agreement as this. Brothers Killed When Car Hits Automobile Fo-cla! to The Times. LAFAYETTE.

PLANES WILL SUBDUE SHIP BY USE OF GAS Demonstration Planned to Show Sea Craft Helpless Under Air Attack. ■WASHINGTON, March 17.—Tbe army air service Is preparing to gas a battleship. When the army planes sail over an obsolete battleship next June to demonstrate that surface craft is helpless under a shower of bombs, the air service also intends to show that a battleship can be forced into virtual submission by the use of gas. This was revealed today by Brigadier General William Mitchell, assistant director of the air service, and Col. A. E. Fries, head of the chemical warfare section, who is cooperating with Mitchell in the proposed gas attacks. “The possibilities of gas bombs sre so astounding as to make one wince,” Colonel Fries said. “Any form of gas,” he said, “varying from the kind that puts men gently asleep to the poisonous mustard variety and the tear gas, can be placed in explosive shells and dropped by airplanes on an enemy fleet below. The gas would permeate a battleship, some kinds continuing their effect for several days. The crew of an enemy ship presumably would don gas masks and rubber suits, but this would greatly incapacitate them for work aboard ship and some gases are so powerful as to defy artificial protection.” Liquid gas, Fries explained, could be showered on a battle fleet by a host of airplanes so that it would descend in a steady mist. Progress by the United States in chemical warfare. Fries said, also has reached the point where Coating bombs can be dropped In the water, creating a smoke cloud both poisonous gnd obstructive to a ship's visibility. The air battle probably will take place the first week In June. Mitchell plans to employ 100 planes, raining bombs as great as a ton in weight upon the battleship which will be sacrificed for the science of war.

RAIL MEN ASK HARDING AID Urge Probe by Congress Into Transportation Systems. A resolution, directed to President Harding, was adopted yesterday at a mass meeting at 143 East Ohio street, held by the United Association of Railway Employes of North America, and visiting members of other railway trade unions, demanding that there be a congressional investigation ot alleged conditions as to transportation systems and transportation workers who have been “thrown out of employment.” It demands "that representatives of this organization b© called before the investigating committee; that the representatives of the organizations named herein request the support and assistance of representatives of other trade unionists." It also asks that “you, as our President, exercise your authority In preventing certain railway officials In the United States from dismissing employes on account of their activities and affiliations without first complying with the* provisions of the transportation act of 1920." DISCUSS BUYING GARBAGE TRUCKS Sanitary Commissioners Talk Over Motorization. Problems incident to motorization of the garbage collection department whea it is taken oTer from the board of public works were discussed by the board of sanitary commissioners with A. M. Buchanan, superintendent of garbage collection, at a meeting Wednesday afternoon. The city’s garbage now Is collected In the antiquated horse-drawn equipment purchased from the Indianapolis Reduction Company la 1918 at the time the reduction plant was acquired. It Is said the upkeep of these wagons, many of which were In bad shape when purchased, has been much more costly than the operation of motor equipment would have teen. The Legislature passed a law authorizing the sanitary board to take over both the garbage and the ash collection departments. The ash department Is motorized. City officials have been discussing the purchase of motor equipment of the same typo for the garbage department for several months, It being thought that the ash equipment might be used to augment the garbage equipment In the summer and vice versa In the winter. It would be necessary to buy only three more motor units to provide ample equipment for the operation of both departments, It Is believed. The ash department now bag five units and an extra truck. A unit consists of a truck and six trailers. The sanitary board does not obtain control of the two departments until May 28.

A Law That Can’t Be Broken

Real estate prices respond directly to the law oil supply and demand. Several years ago, when new houses were being built faster than they became obsolete, the supply exceeded the demand and prices were low. More recently, new houses have not been built in sufficient numbers to care for the needs of an increasing population, and prices have been high. Today, prices are a little lower, because it now costs less to reproduce a house that has been sold. But prices cannot go lower until the supply catches up with the demand. That will take years, Indianapolis today has a serious shortage of homes. There are not enough homes in Indianapolis. The need is constantly increasing. Four years’ inactivity in building must he overcome before the supply can begin to meet the demand. Redoubled building activity cannot correct the housing shortage within three years. Real estate prices have thus been stabilized by the law of SLipply and demand —a law which admits of no exception. Now is good time to buy a home. Your investment is protected against depreciation due to a falling market. When you buy, sell or lease property, consult a Realtor. He knows prices, values and the causes which determine price and value. His experience will help you.
