Such a licet could not be built in two years, he added, though it might be constructed in four. Ilcllevo IMght u Year Possible. Hep. Hutler Faid construction experts of the navy had told the committee that the maximum number of capital ships that could be laid oown l one time in the t'nit d States was 22 and that they could be ccmpleted in two years if tho .-killed labor could be found. Admiral I lad gor thought the armor output would not permit such rapid construction and Hep. Uutler agreed saying he had been told "by the man who sells armor to the government" that the maximum possible output was 64.000 tons a year, or enough to i-milp eight or nine heavy ships. Chairman Padgett remarked that the armor manufacturers had told the investigating committee last year tb it they could produce only 25, 000 tons annually. In urging a great increase in the lieet Admiral Ha-!ger said he did not wish to be understood as saying the present force was not a thoroughly eiheient one. rioot Xot Largo Fiiniigh. "I do not want to give the hr press-on." he said, "that our fleet is no good. The only trouble with it is that it is not big enough for possibilities. It is a good fleet, well drilled, well equipped and well organized. We are now prepared just as far as our power will permit u.5 to bo. More power means more ship." Regarding the present place of the Tnited States fleet among the navies of the world. Admiral Hadder said he classed it hs third in' lighting power with France a close fourth. "I think we are number three." he said. "Japan is coming alonp but has a good deal to do to equal our fleet. In military power -fighting efficiency I think we are a pretty good third with France not far behind." Discuss Wilson plan. Hep. Kelly questioned Admiral Iiadger as to the net result of the five year building program advocated by Fres't Wilson. He asked if it actually meant any increase whatever over the old congressional policy of two capital ships a year. The admiral was inclined to think not. but later agreed with a statement of Rep. Callaway that under the old t wo-ships-a-year program it would take ei-ht years to authorize 1 ships and at le:;.st 11 years to build them, as against eight years under the five year dan. Chairman Padgett said tho net result of the capital ship program urged by the administration was to add six battle cruisers and maintain the old rate of building dreadnoughts. Admiral Uadgcr urged, however, that the arrangement of the five year program suggested by the general board would produce the ship two or three years before the administration schedule and without going beyond the stipulateu appropriation of $ 1 0o.ooo.00i a year for rew construction. t'nder the board's plan congress woul 1 be asked to authorize four drea.lnaa:;hts and three battle cruisers this year instead of two of each as proposed by the president.

The story of "As Years Holl On," to be presented at the Oliver Saturday matinee and night by AI 11. Wilson, the singing dialect comedian, is said to be a ery interesting one that would make a good novel if it were published as such. It relates the adventures of a young Hollander compulsorily enrolled in the army who assaults and supposedly kills a superior ofheer while resisting arrest. To avoid the penalty for what he thinks is murder he escapes to America and. locates in New York city. Prosperity ami domestic happiness smile upon him as the years roll on. Hnpry in an existence that has but one rhadow the possibility that some day he will be reooRnizeil and denounced by some one who knew him in Holland he gives his consent to the marriage of hi. daughter to a young man. who h later learns is the son of "Karl Ilrinker," the man who was conscription otlicer for the regiment of which he was a member 3 0 years before, and who at the time is a successful dealer in New York city real estate. Krinker learns of the contemplated marria.ee and. under the false Impiession that the young lady is beneath his son in the social scale, he visits her home to protest against the marriage and recogni7.es "Van Zam." Instead of a Nemesis, however, he proves to be a friend, for he not only gives his consent to the marriage, bot comeys the happy information to "Van Zam" that the office- he had long thought dead was but slightly wouiub-.l.
