LACK OF NAVAL BASES PUTS U. S, BEHIND BRITAIN Ship for Ship Equality Is Offset by England’s Sea Outposts. Thl* U thr tenth of a *erie of article* the eominc five-power naval parley in l.nndon. written by an authority on •vorld affair*. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS, Srripp**lloward Foreign Editor Even a ship-for-ship and ton-for-ton equality with the British navy vould leave the United States far behind in actual sea power. Sea power, all authorities agree, -; not merely a matter of fighting hips, but of naval bases strategetically placed, and of an adequate supporting merchant marine as well. When it comes to naval bases and merchant marine tonnage, the United States is not in it with Britrain. Were the navies of the two countries to stand each other off, or .-end each c/her to the bottom, Britmn still could trim America by utilizing her merchant ships as cruisers. Or. if both the navies and the merchant ships of the two countries were balanced equally, Britain would continue to hold an advantage. thanks to her naval bases in every quarter of the globe. Merchant Vessels Fight To begin, take the matter of merchant ships. During the World v.ar, Britain made use of seventyseven such craft as converted cruisers, each mounting six-inch guns, and they gave a mighty good account of themselves. The whole British Tenth cruiser squadron was mostly merchant vessels transformed into fighters. The latest Brassey’s Naval and Shipping Annual indicates a total of 22.504.0fMi tons of merchant i-jiips at Britain’s beck and call, whereas only 11.154,000 tons are similarly available to the United States. Experts differ as to the minimum size a merchant ship may be and still be useful as a converted cruiser, but 4,000 tons seems about the bottom figure. At this reckoning Britain could draw on 2,357 and America 1,380. If 8,000 tons is considered the minimum, then Britain could muster 424 merchant ships as against America’s 143. If 10,000-ton ships, and above, are regarded as the most useful, the Army and Navy Journal states that we could round up only fifty, while Britain would have 226. Many Could Not Be Spared Even this does not tell the wholestory. for it is not so much a question cf how many merchant ships a nation has at its disposal in time of peace as it is of how many it could spare as auxiliaries in time of war. To make this plainer, most of Britain's trade is carried on in her own bottoms. Only 32 per cent of America's trade is so carried. The rest is carried by foreign craft which, in war lime, likely would be withdrawn, in which case a doubtful number of our own merchant ships could be spared for use as fighters, because it is vital that the economic life of the nation must be kept going, too. In naval bases America Is hopelessly outdone. She has but two of consequence outside home waters, in Panama and in Hawaii. The Manila base does not count, since, under the treaty of Washington, it may* not be improved, and by the same token Guam and Samoa stand abolished. British bases, however, girdle the world like a chain. The sun never sets on Britain’s flag flying above her outposts. Gibraltar. Malta. Port Said. Suez. Port Sudan. Aden. Port Louis, Capetown and St. Helena literally put a ring around Africa, while Bombay. Colombo. Trineolee. Rangoon, Singapore, Wei-hei-wei. ICing George Sound. Sydney and Auckland make stepping stones for tie* British bulldog clear ceross the Indian ocean to the Par East and Australia. Bases in North America Hong Kong, likewise, might be mentioned, for although it falls within the same zone as Manila, unlike Manila, it is equipped to service the biggest ships that float. Then, right at our doors are the bases at Halifax. Esquimau. Bermuda. Kingston and Port Castries and. guarding Cape Horn, is Port Stanley. True, all these are not Gibraltars of Singapores. But Britain controls them and there is nothing to hinder her from converting them into first-class bases if and when she feels so inclined. America has no such opportunity, even If she wanted it, since she lacks the necessary sites. To achieve arms limitations. Premier MacDonald said, each nation first must manifest a willingness to cede something to the others, and to take a chance. Obviously America is living up to this qualification, for. even granted absolute parity in naval tonnage, she still will retrain vastly inferior to Britain as a sea power. Two File in Bankruptcy Roben O. Baker. Martinsville confectioner, Wednesday filed a voluntary bankruptcy petition in federal court, list nig $3,104 liabilities and $1,950 assets. John Wilbanks, Kokomo laborer, filed a similar petition, listing $2,690 liabilities and $247 assets.

WISH FLIERS TO STRIVE FOR NON-STOP MARK English Aces Will Attempt 6,000-Mile Flight to Capetown. By United Pri gg LONDON, Nov. 21. —SquadronLeader A. G. Jones and Flight Lieutenant N. H. Jenkins have set Dec. 20 at the date for the start of their attempt to establish a new' world's nonstop, straight flight record by a 6.000-mile flight from Cranwell airdrome to Capetown, South Africa. Jones and Jenkins will fly the same Fairey-Napier monoplane in which they flew from Cranwell to Karachi last April. On account of gasoline shortage, they failed by a small margin to break the existing nonstop record. Start New Service LONDON. Nov. 21.—Hydroplanes will be used next year to replace sloops between Dakar ancl Natal, the trans-Atlantic section, of the Paris-Buenos Aires air mail line. P. E. Grosfils, English manager of the Aero-Postal line, said today that the use of planes on the ocean stretch of the line would shorten the time by two days. It was understood the French government was supporting the plan. The new service, which probably will start in April or May, will be operated both ways. Passenger servive may be added next summer, Grosfils said, with possibly lower rates. Taxis Backward n LOS ANGELES. Nov. 21.—Colonel Arthur C. Goebel is the first airplane pilot to taxi backwards. He backed a tri-motored plane equipped with anew reversible propeller while on the ground, then took the plane up for a spin Wednesday. He said flight efficiency was increased 25 per cent by the new blade. By reversing the propeller on landing, he demonstrated its value as a brake. BIDS TO OPEN DEC. ? FOR TWO RUNWAYS Board of Works U> Lot Work for Airport Improvements. Bids will be opened Dec. 2 by the board of public works for construction cf two runways and a connecting taxi-way at the municipal airport. The bids must include the cost of grading, drainage and surfacing. Three types of surfacing may be used, asphalt, asphaltic concrete, bituminous macadam; and bituminous bound gravel. The engineers' 1 estimate of the probable cost is placed at first type, $115,000: second type, $99,000; and third type. SBI,OOO. The runways will be 100 feet wide, one will run north and south with the second angling and the taxi way forming the base of the triangle.

IT is easy to abuse our golden life-given body, but Nature has a way of signaling danger. If heeded, graver troubles may be avoided. That tired, exhausted feeling, lack of appetite. aches and pains, flabby flesh, skin troubles —all speak of a body weakness—a lack of the normal count of red-blood-cells. v Without plenty of rich, red blood there would be no strong, sturdy, powerful men, or healthy, beautiful women. So. if you are not yourself, look to the red-blood-cells to give you sturdy health. Every normal person’s blood should contain about 5,000,000 red corpuscles to the cubic millimeter —those vitalizing, tiny red-cells which give blood its color and are carriers of nourishment to every part of the body. It is dangerous to let the red blood count remain below normal. , +h \v itn an increase in the red-blood cells, >ou will be on th€ right road to Health. This is Nature s way to bod> power and to clear skin. Naturally, with your strength rescored, it is easier to fight disease and infection; to enjoy \our food and to sleep soundly. When firm flesh takes the place of thal which was once flabby, you will feel strong—your nerves wil become steady— more happiness and friends will S.S.S. has been a blessing to millions of people It helps Nature increase the red-blood-cells. It promotes healthy body building. S.S.S. will not work wonders over night—no restorative medicine can do that—but, be assured, that when taken according to directions full and satisfactory benefit will usually ensue. S.S.S. is time-tested and has a successful record of over 100 years back of it. S.S.S. is made from strictly fresh vegetable drugs, gathered at the proper season of the year. It is easily assimilated. Pleasant to .ake. You owe it to yourself to try S.S.S. It is on sale at all drug stores id tvo sixes. Ask ior the larger sire. It is more economical*

URGES 'ABLEST' MEN TO SERVE Kiwanis Club Speaker Tells Need of Government. Willingness of “the ablest m c, V' to serve in public office would <.. .p restore faith in state and local government, Frederick Landis of Logansport, writer and orator, told the Kiwanis Club at the Clavpool hotel Wednesday. “One great weakness is that we have fallen down in the caliber of men who aspire to public office,” Landis said in 'his address on “Things I would like to see changed in Indiana Politics.” “I’d like to go back to the days when wo had two strong parties divided on fundamental issues ” he said. “I would like to see the gown of religious intolerance taken out of Indiana for all time to come. “I would like to see the time when candidates no longer make private pledges, but bifid themselves to the people. "These things would restore our government in the faith of the people in this state.” The meeting was in honor of the thirteen past presidents of the Kiwanis Club, twelve of whom still are living and were present. Robert Uieber died recently.

course, the child’s system needs a prompt cleansing. But the youngster’s bowels also need toning and strengthening. That's where California Fig Syrup does its best work. It helps strengt hen the bowel muscles; gives tone to a weak stomach. That’s .why faulty digestion improves with its use; bowel movements become regulai and remain so. Every child loves its flavor; its cleansing action is prompt but gentle. A pure vegetable product; no danger of causing the laxative habit. 11 has

full medical endorsement. There are many imitations; hut the word California marks the genuine.
