WASHINGTON. Feb. 1.- Unanimous approval of the administration's

new three-year naval program, with the number of capital ships reduced from 16 to 10 because of differences

among experts over the value of battle cruisers, was Toted today by the house naval committee. ' ) The program Is for the three years boglnnlng with next July. Chairman Padgett, In announcing the committeo's action, said the annual appropriation bill carrying $750,000,000 was approved, Including $160,000,000 to be spent during the year under the new program. The committee's action was the first formal Indication of the attitude of congress toward the navy department's policy of expansion unless the peace conference decides on world disarmament. Expansion has been urged by Secretary Daniels and high officer of the navy.

FUTURE SAFETY

Continued From Paae One. that the French, after four invasions In a century are resolved that It there Is a fifth Invasion It shall begin at the Rhine and not at the Moselle or the Sambre; that the opening phase of a new German aggression shall take place In German and not French territory. If the league ' of nations shall become a world force that many hope, these precautions will prove unnecessary. If It falls these precautions will stand, and with four Invasions In their minds it Is difficult to criticize the French purpose. : Now, In addition, there la the question of the Saar Coal district. I have frequently described this question to my readers, but I revert to it again to complete the statement of the French policy. The region Itself is a very restricted area, two or three hundred square miles at most. It produces

some seventeen million tons of coal a year. ' It belonged to France wholly np to 1814, but even after the first abdication of Napoleon a portion still remained to France, and it was not until after Waterloo that Prussia had her way and seized the whole coal district, Just as she took the Iron district in 1871. Wreck Whole District.

Argument for the Saar coal district j . Is not based merely or mainly upcm :

kingdom of Hedjaz. In fact It is an

gued that France should resign all claims to Syria, and It Is urged that any failure of France to make such sacrifices convicts the French of oldfashioned Colonial Imperialism. Claim la 8entlmental. The claim of France to Syria is sentimental, as well as economic, but such lnformaton as I can anther leads

me to believe that however strongly official France reviews French claims the Syrian questin will not be permitted to break up concord between the various nations, and I am convinced that the French people would not

support a military expedition to conquer Syria, nor a oolltical nuami

with their present allies over Syria. There Is a very considerable possibility tharthe Syrians themselves, left to themselves, in part, at least, might elect a French protectorate of a vague sort, wholly different from militarv

occupation, and if this should happen, I think the French people would understand that the will of the Syrian people should be recognized; but so far as an aggressive colonial campaign for Syria Is concerned. I dn nnt tMnt

n win uuce piace.

The question of the African

ies of Germany is not as vitally interesting to the French as it is to th

British. . France, under hr rn.

raent wlh Great Britain, would normally receive part of Togo and all of

Cameroon, out It Is my Judgment that the French are vastly less concerned over the possible return to flormnnv

of Central African colonies than are

me tirmsn, lor whom German West Africa is a menace to the union of South Africa, and German East Africa is a standing threat on the road to India. Want to Purchase. In the same way there is a pronounced French desire to see the Spanish evicted from North Africa, where their precautious position in Morocco is a menace alike to Spain and to France, a source of endless expense, and no benefit; but here again French purpose is expressed in the desire to purchase what Spain cannot administer, as we purchased the Philippines from the same nation. Such in brief is a summary of the French view of the peace conference, so far as it concerns material things. I wish I could emphasize the fact that the mood of France in insisting upon material as well as physical guarantees against German aggression is the inevitable consequence of the last four years. In her ruined cities, her desolate fields, her suffering population, France sees a threat of new German invasion.

For her greatest task is to make

Germans found they were not going to be able permanently to hold the , French coal district of Lens, they systematically and completely wrecked mines and machinery, they dynamited houses, and ' they transformed the whole district into an almost hopeless desert. Their purpose was to make France dependent upon Germany for coal, to cripple French Industry to the profit of Germany; and if the treaty of Paris . -falls to award France compensation i.ln the shape of coal, the German ob- ; Ject will have been achieved. France asks therefore the frontiers ; of 1814j rather than those of 1870, as ; an act of Justice, both because of an- ; clent stealing and of - contemporary ' destruction, andW far as I know there 1 is no criticism of her purpose among ; the British or among Americans In .

No other one of the nations has the same concerns, since no other one or the great nations has endured the same agonies. France at the conferences asks the nations that more or less tardily hecognlzed that their fate was linked up with her, to loin her In taking material and physical guarantees against a return of the barbarian. To some Americans, this seems chauvinistic. To others, it seems an ncredible thing that the French hesitate to accept the moral assurance held out by the League of Nations, and display apprehension that what hap-

Kicu rewnuy may happen again; but this is an act of faith beyond the power of the French people.

AID TO BE SENT TO CLEVELAND

COLUMBUS. O.. : Feb. . 1. Having

practically completed the slaughter of the advantageous bargain through which the state, was to secure an executive mansion at low , cost, the General Assembly adjourned yesterday, leaving the matter in the hands of a conference committee probably

hostile to the original Jones bill. Its only other , work was to rash through an emergency measure which will enable the state to help Cleveland maintain order in the manner in which Cleveland wishes it maintained. The wholesale grocers and extract manufacturers will he given a hearing next Tuesday morning at 9 o'clock, while on Wednesday at 9 o'clock, the wholesale druggists and other interests desiring to be heard, have been invited to appear. Members of all the committees have reached an agreement that the bond feature of the bill, to which the retail druggists objected, will be eliminated In all Instances where a federal bond is required, and that instead a nominal fee for the issuance of permits will be required.. . This.. Jt. is. .expected, will result In an annual revenue of approximately $2,000. which will go toward paying the expenses of the enforced machinery. It Is understood other objectionable features of the bill are to bo toned down to meet 'the protests of the interests affected. Although the Senate Committee on Health has recommended for passage the bill permitting Christian Science "healers" to charge fees for services, action in the senate will be deferred until after a hearing before the House Committee on Health on a similar bill introduced into the house, which has

been set for next Wednesday evening at7. . The senate committee has been invited to attend the hearing.
